Roscoe Conkling said last evening that
he had fair constitution and had been
in some pretty tight places in his life,
but had never been as far gone physlc-
ally as on last Monday night in Union
Square. He continued: al had been
at the Stewart building in the after
noon and had some work to do in my
office, and not thinking that the city
would be dark at night, L went to Wall
street to look after the work. A little
after6 o'clock I wanted to go home.
There was not carriage of any kind
to be had. Once during
the day L had declined
an offer to ride up town in a carriage
because the man wanted $50, and /
started up Broadway on my pins 1t

a path, so l went along shouldering
through drifts and headed for the
north. l was pretty well exhausted
when | got to Union Square, and wip-
ing the snow from my eyes | tried to
make out the triangles. But it was
impossible. There was no light and
plunged right through in as straight
line as | could determine on. Some
times | have run across passages
in novels of great adventures in snow
storms, for examples in stories of Rus
sian life, where there would be vivid
description of mans struggles in snow
swept and windy plains; but l have al
ways considered the presentation an
exaggeration. shall never do so again,
for after what l encountered in last
nights blizzard can believe that the
strongest description would fail to ap-
proximate the truth. l had got to the
middle of the park and was up to my
arms in drift. L pulled ice
and snow from my eyes and
held my hands up there until
everything was melted off so 1 might
see, but it was too dark and the snow
too binding. l came as near giving up
and sinking down there to die as a man
can and now do it. After twenty or
thirty minutes got out somehow and
made my way along to the New York
Club Rooms, completely exhaused,"

NEARING THE END.
The Tally Sheet Case Nearing a Conolu-
sion After Weeks of Labor.

bAOh 1AAIOT w eehS Oh AdDOFs
COLUMBUS, o., March 13. - Rapid
work was done in the tally sheet trial
yesterday Colonel K. l.. Taylor con-
cluded an eloquent yet logical argu-
ment for the defense by saying that all
the talent of great lawyers and all the
wealth of the Citizens Committee had
failed to connect Robert Montgomery
with the crime.
He was followed by George X. Nash,
who made one of his old-time Republi-
can stumpspeeches, and reviewed the
testimony in manner to suit his own
views of the case.
The oratorical display of the day Was
terminated with an hours speech by
Hon. Geo. L. Converse, who made a
most lofty argument. Mr.. Converse
paid considerable attention to Judge
Thurman, who was present, and charged
that a crime far greater than the tally
sheet forgery was committed when an
electoral commission was created
against the constitution, which seated
a man who was never elected Presi
dent of the United States. He said
that in that memorable case the same
vote was counted one way for the
Presidential electors and another way
for State officers. In affirming that the
Canvassing Board in this city were
right in throwing out unsigned returns
as being no returns at all he could
quote as such authority as Thurman
himself.
Here Judge Thurman interrupted
saying it was not so, and Converse
ought not to say it.
Mr.. Converse Immediately turned to
a State report and read Senator Thur
mans own words which he had used in
an election case in the Supreme Court

Their Labor for Naught.

GILMAN, ILL.,, March, Especial. /
The banking house of Parker & Allen
was burglarized at an early hour yes
terday morning. Entrance to the
the building was effected through
side window. The outside door of the
vault forced open apparently without
much trouble. Then small hole was
bored in the center of the safe door and
charged with dynamite. An explosion
blew open the safe door and utterly
demolished it. Their operations to
force an entrance into the burglar
proof box where the money was, were
systematic, but after labored amount
of drilling and repeated charges of
dynamite they were compelled on
account OF the time to retire without
their booty. The bank carried larl e
sums belonging to the townships and
various drainage districts in this part
of the State. The banks loss was
one safe valued at $1,500 and about
$1,000 in currency which happened to
be outside of the burglar proof box

Awaiting the Decision.

KANsAs.CITY, Mo-, March 12.-[Spec-
al.EJudge Gresham's decision on the
liability Of railroads in refusing Bur
linUton freight is anxi0usly awaited
here by both railroads and men. AS an
indication of the prevailing uneasiness
here, it may be said that several roads
have been refusing since Saturday after
noon to accept perishable freight, such
as live stock, packing house products,
etc. Among these roads were the Santa
Fe, the Union Pacific and the Ft. Scott
& Gulf. Two days more of this en-
barge would close down all the
packing houses in the city, and
throw 1900 men out of employ
ment. This uneasiness is not likely
to extend over today and Judge Grsh-
ans decision will be an important fac
tor in removing it.

The fairest buds are often the first

make havoc with the beauty, as well as
the strength and happiness of the fair

American women are those of most
distressing description. These weak
nesses," as they are suggestively termed,
insidiously sap the health, and the
patient becomes pale and emaciated,

loses strength as the attacks increase in
severity, and is in despair. There is re-

Canal Fulton

Is one of the pleasant villages of Stark
county, and before railways, when the
canal was the chief avenue of transpor-
tation Fulton was live business town.
Some years back the village had two
railroads and coal was taken out round
about and all this made things lively.
The Cleveland, Lorain Il Wheeling
now is their only road, and the coal
deposits in the neighborhood are played
out. A rich farming country around,
however, with good stores, tool and
manufacture company, busily engaged
making miners tools, machine shop,
mill, repair and other shops, give
employment to some.
The citizens of Fulton pay all proper
attention to the education of the rising
generation, having recently built u
school edifice with eleven rooms, ten of
which are occupied by teachers and
pupils. The building cost some $4,000.
P.hA. Leahy is postmaster and has
just removed the P. 0. into a good room
of cOmmodiOus proportions. Mr..
Charles Easily continues to care for the
wayworn traveller in bed and board at
the Easily House. The Myers Bros.
hardware store would be q credit to a
much larger place. Their spacious
room, abundant stock and genial ways
command good trade. The name OF
Charles Robinson in and around Fulton
is familiar to all people, having been
long in the dry goods line.
Fulton has several physicians of good
standing and lawyers of some repute
Having no direct railroad connection
withfthe county seat is great incon-
venience. 1t is to be hoped this will be
remedied some day.
