LOUISVILLE, KY, March 22.-The de-
falcation of the state treasurer grows
in amount as the experts examining
his accounts progress. Yesterday
afternoon Auditor Hewitt announced
to the governor that the amount of the
deficit was SI97 1854, and it is now
thought the total shortage will not be
far from $3.50, 200. The books of the
treasurer's office show extreme loose
ness and neglect, and it will be weeks
before order can be brought out
of the existing chaos. Where the
money went is still as much mystery
as ever. That Mr.. Tate accommodated
his friends at all times is admitted,
but that he loaned such a sum as this
is hardly believed. His private papers
have not as yet been looked into. A
story to-day illustrates his extremely
careless methods which obtained from
Mr.. Tate in his administration of bus
mess affairs. In 1888 the state finan-
ces ran low and it was found necessary
to borrow 100000. The loan was rati-
fed. On December 80, 1884, the inter-
est on the loan, amounting to $1,000,
fell due. When the bank official ar
rived with the claim the auditors Of
flee was closed and it being af-
ter O'Clock in the evening.
Treasurer Tate WAS still at
his headquarters, however. He knew
that the amount was due and as the
banker pretended to be in a hurry
about the collection, Mr.. Tate offered
to oblige him by furnishing his
personal check for the amount. He
laid away the receipt and only after
a week or so, ran across it. He had
forgotten the transactson entirely and
remarked that he considered himself
just that much better off. The special
committee appointed to arrange
articles of impeachment to be lodged
against Treasurer Tate is in
session this morning finishing up its
business preparatory to submitting
its report to the legislature.

to make such rates on live stock from
Kansas City as would give it portion
of the business. This is caused by the

other roads asked for ordinary cars.
In consequence the st. Paul has gained
much of the business and the other
roads propose to reduce rates to make
up the difference. The reduction on
stock rates is very likely to spread to
general freight.

Rnd for the Season


ST. PAUL, March 22.-The storm
which ragged on Tuesday night and
until this morning through portions of
Dakota, Minnesota and northern Wis
consin was one of the severest that
has been experienced in the northwest
this winter. 1t consisted of a cold
wave of unusual severity, accom-
panied by a heavy and cutting wind,
in many places rendered worse by a
binding snow storm. In Minnesota,
north of Crookston, and in northeastern
Dakota, most of the roads were badly
blockaded. The Duluth Il Manitoba,
the Little Falls Il Dakota and the
jamestown branches of the Northern
Pacific were the most effected,
in the Red river valley were more or
less troubled. On the Junction &
Northern there was complete cessa-
ton of business. On the Hastings g.
Dakota Omaha. Minneapolis 81 st.
Louis and st. Paul 81 Kansas City the
worst storm of the season was ex-
perienced. Wherever there was any
new snow it was badly drIfted and the
railroad tracks in numerous instances
were covered to a depth of nine feet.
The Wisconsin Central train due
here at O'Clock this morning, is re-
ported indefinitely late. An Omaha
train for Chicago, which left st. Paul
yesterday afternoon at 3 O'Clock, only
managed to get as far as Elroy. Trains
on the Hastings " Dakota are aban-
dOned, as are also those of the Fergus
Falls. and the Breckenridge trains. a

Omatonna, Mimi, says:
"Teams were sent out by the rail
roads yesterday with provisions to the
passengers snow bound between Ha
Vana and Claremont. They got to Ha
vana last night, and dared not proceed
further on account of the storm. They
reached the passengers early thii
morning. n load of fuel was sent on
from Havana. Three snow plowi

strikers Scrap.


ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, March 23.-The
first act of violence since the SO"
strike began occurred this morning at
10 o'clock. Patrick Brown, the only
brotherhood man who deserted the
strikers, was met near Eighth and Pa
cifc streets by three strikers, Charles
Roderick, an engineer, Charles Chris
topher and Geo. Whale, firemen, who
addressed him in uncomplimentary
language. Brown attempted to draw
a revolver, but before he could do SO,
was knocked down by Roderick and
beaten badly. His revolver was taken
from him by his assailants
and was turned over to the chief of pc
lice. The men were arrested and fined
for assault and battery. Reports have
been sent out that Brown is in a critic
al condition and that thirty men at
tackled him; but there is no truth in it.
Brown sustained no injury beyond a
cut over the left eye made by Roder-
ick's knuckles. The brotherhood men
condemn the assault and regret the oc-
currenco of the affray.

The Freight Tra1ac Again PaRaIyzed
ON the Burlington System.
CHICAGO, March 23.-The freight
traffic on the Burlington, which, yes
terday, was moving practically the
same as before the engineers strike is
to-day at standstill again. This con-
dition of affairs is due to the action of
200 switchmen employed III the Burl-
ington yards here, who struck early
this morning without any notice what
ever to the road. The switchmen at
Aurora. Illinois, also stopped work,
but that was the only outside point af-
fected as far as the compang knew up
to 9 o'clock this morning. The officials
decided, however, to move no freight at
all until this second strike is settled,
and with the exception of the live stock
trains in transit no freight
is moving Passenger trains are
running as usual. The company has
received no notice at all from the
switchmen and no grievance has yet
been presented or demand made upon
them by the switchmen's union. at
the yard yesterday afternoon of the
alton, but around Burlington head
quarters a careful investigation failed
to reveal anything definite. Some of
the swiichmen told General Superin-
tendent Bossler that no strike was con-
templated. but others said that they
were tired of working with incom-
petent engineers. The railway
officials claim that this reason is the
merest pretense; that since the new
engineers have been at work not a
finger has been pinched nor
a coupling bar broken as
one of them put it this morning. In
the yards this morning and around the
Brotherhood headquarters, it was conf
mon gossip that the switchmen had
been taken into the Brotherhood in con-
sideration of their going out on a
strike. The officials of the switchmens'
association have been very anxious
from the beginning of the strike trou-
BILE that the Brotherhood of Engineers
should take them into their council and
place them on an equal footing as they
have done the firemen but the
engineers seemed 10th to do it
and gave as reason that
when strikes occurred among switch
men it was not long before coupling
pins were flying through the air and
after that the militia were called
out. A committee from the switch
mems union will visit the general SUI
perintendent Monday, and until that
difference is ended at least nothing will
be done.
