DEATH OF MRS. GAnFzRLD.
Notable Career of the Mother of the
Martyred President.

Mrs. Garfield, the mother Of the late Presi-
dent Garfield, died January 81.
The death of the aged mother Of the mar
tyred President Garfield VIII be learned
throughout the country with feelings Of sin
cere regret and sorrow. Her death recalls
that fateful I'd of July, in 1881, when the
nation was rent with terrible shock as the
news OF the work of the cowardly assassin
was flashed over the wires, and the period OF
terrible suspense during the ten weeks while
that life hung as by thread until the end
came on the Goth OF September Mrs Car
field was remarkable woman, and the story
of her life of trials, Affections and victories
covering a period embracing nearly all Of
the present century, would require volume.
Her name will occupy place in history rs
the one who was most instrumental in culti-
waiting those, germs OF courage, love
Of honor and truth, patriotic heroism,
religious faith and sound craftsmanship,
which characterized the ripened manhood OF
the late president. Mrs. Eliza Ballou Gar
field was born in sight Of old Monadnoek
mountain, in Cheshire county, N. H., Sept.
81, 1901 She came of the family OF Ballous,
well known in Vermont, New Hampshire
and Massachusetts,, and was a niece of Rev.
Hosea Ballou, the Methodist Clergyman and
writer of Boston. She was reared with that
care and circumspection for which New
England families are noted In 1919 sheswa J
married to Abram Garfield, father of the
late president, and who was descended from
an Edward Garfield, who in 1875, was one of
tho proprietors of Watertown, having accom-
panied Gov. Winthrop to New England.
They shortly afterward removed to Ohio, set
tling near the town of Independence, whero
Mr.. Garfield was engaged in work Of excava-
tion for the canal. They lived in log cabin,
the wife toiling for their support by weaving,
knitting and saving. They afterward re-
moved to Newbury, town which has since
become ward of the city Of Cleveland. At
that time three children had been born to
them. In 1880 there was considerable ex-
citement over the advance in the prices of
land in the state, and the wild land was
much sought after. They determined to
start at farming, and purchased tract of
land heavily wooded In Orange township,
CuyNhoso county, which they built a log
cabin. Not quite two years afterward-Nov.
10, lSSl-James A. Garfield was born.

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Hard Voyage of the Ship MacedoA
from New York to EKiOga.

The ship Macedon of Digby had terrible
experience on the voyage from New York to
Hioga. Capt. Jones, writing under the date
of Dec %, says: The vessel was 80 days in
reaching the Cape of Good Hope. On Sept
s, while in the Indian ocean, a typhoon was
encountered, and the vessel was thrown on
her beam ends, with her foreyards in the
water. She laid there for three hours, and
her main hatch was under water the whole
time The vessel was righted after consd-
cradle damage had been done. As the sea-
son was too far advanced to run through the
China sea, we took the course
around Australia. Before reaching Tas-
mania one man had died and another
fell overheard and was drowned. We got to
the equator in the Pacific in lG0 days, when
another man fell from aloft and die1 shortly
after The remainder of the crew were
stricken with scurvy. After passing the
equator a shark cot afoul tf the log line,
and, when hauled aboard. bit off one of the
carpenters feet. Twice the vessel was blown
off in trying to enter channel Xii, and two
more of the crew died. By the aid Of some
fishermen the vessel was got into port At
the time only two men and the captain of the
original crew were able to stand. The pas

FRREMEN INCASED I'M ICE.
Terrible sufferings at IA EsIaze in
Montreal.

A despatch from Montreal, Que, Jan. 81,
says: For the past week there have been
each day in this city two or three small fires,
supposed to be incendiary. Shortly after
midnight a fire broke out in magnificent
block of stone buildings on st. james street,
betwte en- the Place d'Arms and st. Lambert
Hills, which proved to be- before it was got
under control, one of the most disastrous
confagrations that has visited Montreal for
long time, the loss amounting as far as can
be ascertainel, to $500, 900. Had it not been
for the bitter co.d-the Thermometer regis
tered 90 below Zero--the fire would not
have been so hard to sEbdue as it was. The
hose, in many instances, was frozen stiff,
and it had to be thawei out again, and the
firemen had to cut their way through nlinia-
ture mountains of ice to get into the build
ing, to prevent the fire from extending still
farther. Fremen could be seen rushing
hither and thither. carrying with them hugh
coats of ice, which incased them from head
to foot The froZeA scene was one of sur
passing beauty, and hid, to some extent, the
ravages of the fumes.
During the progress of tito fire the scene
was grand beyond description. The Skinner
& Hayes ladders, which were raised to the
roof, were hung with long ic..:es Five
minutes after the ladders were raised, they
were coated with thick covering of ice.
On these la@ders stood number of firemen,
with hose their hands and almost perish
ing wiz .he cold. As soon as the water
was r. I'D off, to change the position of the
Diff cat lengths the water in the hose be-
came frozen solid inside. In this way many
lengUns OF hose were rendered useless In
one case where couple of firemen had stood
for some time on ladder when they started
to descend they found themselves frozen to
the ladder. They were incased IN ice two
inch IS thick, and were benumbed by cold.
An axe was procured and the mon were
liberated from their rather hazardous posi-
tion. The iremen's sufferings were terrible.
Icicles hung from every part of their bodies,
and it was with difficulty that they managed
to keep on their legs.

OVER 1000 VICTIMS.
JUDGE KHNNEK's RIDE OF 40
MILES IX FIVE DAYS,
The Mercury About 40 Degrees Be-
lOw---Chiidrcn Wrapped in Mail
Sacks Perish from COId---I0 Frozen
Bodies Brought Into One Depot.

A dispatch from Nebraska City, Neb., Jan
2l, says: Judge ]. F. Kinney, agent of the
Yanlton Sioux Indian agency in Dakota,
arrived here yesterday, after being nine day:
on the road Five days were necessary foI
the party to travel 80 miles. The mercury
during the five days was 40 below zero most
of the time The judge says the loss of life
in Dakota has been greatly underestimated
as the Dakota papers have tried to cover il
up. He describes the scene which took place
on board the cars. The coal was running
low. The passengers were crowded into one
car, trying to keep warm. Two babies per.
ished. The men discarded all the outer gar
men's they could spare and gave them to the
ladies and children. Finding these not
enough, they brought mail SACKS from the
postal car and wrapped the children up in
them. While at one station in Bonhomme
county - frozen bodies wero brought into
the depot in one day. In the same county
the list of dead will reach fully 100. The re-
ports made at Yankton of the loss of life
throughout the territory figure UP 1000. The
judge named a number o. curious in
cldents relating to the wanderings
OF people who went out in the
storm Mrs Browning of Turner county
went from her house to the stable, a distance
day, seven miles from home Charles Dol
hnger, farmer of Turner county, perished
seven feet from his house. A woman, name
unknown, of the same county, went ou5 to
care for her chickens, and was found two
miles from her house. Roads from the
agency to Yankton are lined with dead
cattle, many farmers losing all they had.
One man lost over 100 head. The loss of
stock cannot be estimated. P. L. Clark and
wife of Yankton county were driving
toward Yankton when the blizzard struck
them. The horses refused to proceed, and
were turned loose Mr. Clark took q strap
AMI fastened one end to Mrs. Clark and the
other end to himself, and, turning their
backs to the wind, wandered at random.
They came to haystack, into which they
Gurrowed and remained all night. In the
morning Mr.. Clark crawled out and pro-
ceeded to house; he was obliged to crawl on
his hands and knees, as his clothes were
frozen stiff. He reached the house and pro-
cured assistance to go after Mrs Clark. She
was dead when found. William Reiswag and
hired man, living near Tripp, We're found
frozen to death within q few feet of
the stable, to which they had gone to
care for stock. Joshua Taylor and two
sons, near Scotland, st rted to water their
stock before the storm clme up. Judge
Kinney has received word from the agency,
and he says, whilo large number OF Indians
were out hunting and hauling wool none are
missing TIE judge was accompanied all
through the scenes of suffering by his wife.

The Atlanta to go ON a Cruise.

The new cruiser Atlanta has been ordered
to be put in readiness promptly for a cruise,
and if, upon examination, it is found that
the condition of her hull will not actually
endanger the safety of the vessel for q
cruise, no repairs are to be begun that
will detain her. The vessel will go from
here directly to Port au Prince, where she
will take on board the United States
charge d'affaires and sail to San Domingo to
claim of the United States The vessel is
not very formidable one in her present con
dtion to enforce demand, from the fact
that her new gun tracks are not in place.
The large guns are thus practically disabled.
The new tracks are finished, but the ordnance
bure III has not the money to put them in
place.

DRINKING POISONED WATER.
Cause of the Typhoid Epidemic
Raging at Ottawa.

The report Of the government analyst Of
Ottawa, made public, on the condition OF
the water supply of that city, has caused
intense excitement and indignation-in fact,
almost panic-among consumers, to find
that they have for months past been drink
ing water polluted with germs Of the most
poisonous nature and to which has now been
traced the typhoid epidemic which, during
the past 10 weeks, has made such terrible
havoc. Fearing injury to the city, an
endeavor was made to keep the result Of the
investigation quiet, and, with that object in
view the minister of agriculture had the
report marked confidential" A special
meeting of the city council has been sum-
moned to take immediate steps to remedy the
evil. 1t will tost S250,00 at least to get a
supply from an uncorrupted source.
Several city officials, including the city
engineer, who located the source of the
present supply, will be at once dismissed.
