Heavy Snow Storms.

A Boston telegram of Sun day, Nov. 25th
says: fierce northeasterly gale has ragged
since last night. Snow fell to-day changing
to sleet in the evening About six inches of
snow has fallen in Eastern Massachusetts
and is drifting badly. Shipping in the har-
Dor has suffered considerably. Wires are
down in all directions. A gale and heavy
snow is reported at Brattleboro, VT, and in
New Hampshire. The storm at Salem, Mass,
is the worst for years. The sloop yacht
Narragansett and an unknown schooner are
ashore near Forest river
This is from Portland, Maine A heavy
storm has prevailed all day, doing consider
able damage in the harbor. The waves at
Portland Headlight reached higher than
ever before except in the great storm of last
winter No vessels have been sighted at the
Head since morning. There is great alarm
for the safety Of the fishing fleet. Commune
cation with interior towns is mostly
cut off and it is only known that the gale
along the Grand Trunk was severe.
On Sunday night the Mohawk valley was
four inches under snow and the storm was
still prevailing. The Erie canal is filled with
boats stalled or fearing to move.
I, At Rutland, vt, the fall Of snow has been
three inches, at Bangor, Me-, seven inches,
and at Concord, N. H., six inches. Much
damage has been done on the North shore.
The Boston, Revere Beach & Lynn rail-
road was badly washed out midway be-
tween the Marrow Gauge Hotel and the oint
of Pines, stopping through traffic. At Cres-
cent Beach several cottages have been under
mined and some of the hotels threatened.
The Winthrop shores have felt the force of
the storm, and a number of buildings be-
tween Point Shirley and Winthrop High
lands have been demolished. The storm is
the worst ever known on this part of the
north shore, and danger is feared from the
incomi ng tide.

Acorrespondent writing from Colts
Island, Me-, claims that this favored
isle harbors neither tramps, rats nor
mosquitoes. No rum is ever sold
there, neither is there any mud. He
has never seen an intoxicated person
on the island, and but one house was
ever burned for 100 years. The peo-
pie are not afraid of thieves, and sell
dom fasten their doors at night, ex-
cept in cases of gales of wind. And
there is not dog on the island.

The G. A. r, all Right,

An extraordinary news item under an In.
dlanapolis date was given wide circulation
stating that: About 1000 Democratic
veterans members of g. A. r. posts scattered
over the state, held in the capitol building
a secret meeting, at which it was resolved
that every Democratic member OF the G. A.
r. should abandon the order, and all present
pledged themselves to withdraw from their
posts. Adjt. Gen. Koontz presided. name
and a constitution for the new order proposed
for the Democratic veterans were adopted
That full regiment of veterans should
have held such a meeting, as alleged without
the local press discovering their presence
in the city, seemed incredible, and nowhere
was the publication a fresher news item
than right at home. An investigation
shows that less than sixty Democratic
veterans held a quiet meeting at the
rooms of the adjutant general and
discussed the subject of withdrawing
from the G. A. R. on alleged political grounds
Col. j. N. Walker, assistant adjutant general
of the G. A.. R. department. OF Indiana and
the executive officers OF the order in this
state, in an interview requested that a cor,
rection of the publication should be offered
the press. He states that no application for
withdrawal ofmemb ership from the G. A. R.
has been made to him, and that he is the
officer with whom such applications must
come. That so far from the Indiana depart
tions for permits for special musters to initi-
ate new members have doubled within the
past two weeks That during the late cam
paign the mem bership increased three hun
dred in the very heat of the contest,
and the roll just returned for the
last quarter shows q membership of over
twenty-five Thousand. If any disaffection is
threatened for supposed political or other
causes, Col. Walker says neither he or De-
partment Commander General A. d. Vando-
sol are aware of that fact. Members can
withdraw in good standing at any time by
paying their dues andrequesting a discharge
Col. Walker admitted it was possible Aiit.
Gen. tkoontz and a small number of other
Democratic veteras imagined they h.S
grievance, but denied emphatically that the
u. a. K. had in any way been turned into a
regiment ofveterans here during the campaign
where there was no Democratic member pres
ent, and out of consideration for his po-
litical views the 800 others refrained from
offering a resolution to visit Gen. Harrison
in body. and they consequently called as
citizens, not as veterans. He further stated
that he was in receipt of a number of letters
from Democratic veterans stating that they
had no intention of withdrawing, that they
had no complaints political or otherwise
Col. Walker and other leading G. A. r. men
do not believe that Col. Matson, the late
Democratic candidate for governor, is in any
way countenancing or aiding any move to
divide the veterans on political grounds.

The Great Canadian Storm.

one OF the most severe storms of snow and
wind known in Canada for years broke over.
this province and Ontario Sunday evening.
Nov 25th. and lasted for several days. The
wind at times blew as hard as seventy miles
per hour. The streets of Montreal and the.
surrounding country are covered with snow
drifts ten feet deep in places. and the most
severe cold prevails. Horse car lines stopped
in the streets by the police Sunday night.
unable to make their way through the
storm, being either benunbed by the
cold or bewildered by the winds. The
storm was felt more severely on the lower.
St Lawrence than anywhere else The steam
er Pomeranian, boundrfor Liverpool. which
was grounded at Sorel, made an attempt to
reach Quebec Sunday with the aid of four
tugs. She got as far as Batiscan, eighty
five miles this side Of Quebec, where she an
chored for the night Next day not only the.
steamship, but the tugs too, were frozen
IN solid. The Pomeranian will not get
through this season. Her bows are badly
row she will probably be forced ashore on the
rocks and become total loss. The Allan
steamship company, which owns her, will
lose over $500, 900.
AT Quebec the gale ragged furiously, and
the iron ferry boats that ply between that
point and Point Lewis are caught in the ice
which threatens to crush them The steam
ship Poino, bound from Cape Breton to-
Quebec, was seen struggling against the gale
and ice in the gulf, off FAMINE Point, sixty
three miles below Quebec, at daylight Mon
day. She suddenly disappeared and has not
been seen orreported since There are fears
that she has been lost. She had forty pas
sengers, a crew of thirty and a general cargo.
L'Islet and River du Loup report binding
snow storms, with heavy gales. Point Mas
queran signal station reports a brig caught
in the ice, powerless in the gale and flying
signals of distress. Her name cannot be.
made out, nor can help reach her.
At Newcastle six schooners have been
caught and crushed in the ice, and a similar
fate has overtaken ten vessels at Chatham
Five vessels are caught opposite that city
and will be crushed

Clarence D. RAYMOND, III

Clarence D. Raymond, upon being
sentenced to one year by a Boston
Judge for swindling, jumped up in
the dock and asked: "Why not
make it for life?" Cant do it, /" re-
piled the Judge; s'but | will give you
all the law will allow for this offence.
Mr.. Clerk, revoke that sentence, and
make it two years. Taken aback,
the young rascal tried to humble
an apology, and his mother pleaded
with the Court to no purpose.

There are probably thousand

There are probably thousand
women in the city of Pittsburgh who
work in iron mills, making bolts,
nuts, hinges, and barbed wire. Over
three years ago, the men who had
been working in the bolt works gave
such dissatisfaction that the proprie-
tors decided to try girls at the same
work. The venture was such a sue
cess that nothing would induce them
to go back to the boys and men.

PowderlY Fully Sustained.

The general assembly of the Knights of
Labor adjourned at Independence The gen.
eral executive board will select the place for
the next meeting. 1t will be either Albany
Atlanta or New Orleans. During the last
session the committee on solutions recon-
mended the appointment of committee to-
investigate the mistreatment of Knights I'M
louisiana; the committee on law recommend
ed that the temperance plank in the consti-.
tuition remain unchanged, and the recom-
mendation was adopted. The Blair educa-
tional bill was endorsed, also arecommenda4
ton to establish junior locals. A reso-
luton was offered severely denouncing the
provisional committee. After discussion it
was referred back to the committee without
action. Mr. Powderly was granted the privi-
lege of appointing the committee to inYesti-
gate the Philadelphia Office and named Dele
gates Mckee, Cannon and Beaton. The CON-
mittee appointed by General Master Work
man Powderly in the last honrs of the as
sembly to Investigate the charges made by
expelled Barry and the clerks regarding mis-
management of affairs at general headquart-
ers at Philadelphia comprises James h Ne
Gee of New York, chairman, head of the
street car employees assembly; Alexander
Beaton OF Boston and Edward Cannon of
Rhode Island. One matter that the general
master workman failed to act upon was the
censure that he was directed to bestow on
Mr.. Skeffington, of the shoemakers' assembly.
1t will doubtless be delivered by mail Mr.
PoWderly expressed himself as being greatly
pleased over the action OF the convention.
He thinks that the order is being reduced In
membership simply because those who ought.
to getout are leaving. and he puts no signifi-
canoe In the figures which show such O.
marked decline of strength.

THE democratic boomer of the Thur
man end of the free trade ticket, him
self protectionist, has this to say
concerning Chicago movements:
"To its esteemed fOemen now swell
tering in Chicago, the Express offers
Rutherford B. Hayes, of Ohio, is per-
fectly eligible for second term
There was a time in the not dim
and distant past when the tail end of
the present democratic ticket came
home from gubernatOrial campaign
in Ohio with its tail dropping sadly,
o! so sadly, and the general impress
sion is that the "drOop" was the re-
suit of the unmitigated whaling which
this same Rutherford B. HAYES
administered to his great democratic
rival for the state governorship. A
little sense would suggest that it is
about time for the democratic stew
about Rutherford B. Hayes to simmer
down. He whipped the "Old Roman"
of Ohio, her most popular democratic
son, out of his boots in gubernato-
rial contest; and, by the decision of an
electoral commission appointed by
democratic desire, defeated the great
Samuel J. Tilden for the presidency
of the republic. No flies on r. B. H.
for democrats to brush off.
