 PIrrsBURG. March 15.-Navlgation on the Ohio river is practically suspended by an al- most unprecedented collision and wreck of loaded coal barges, eighteen in number, con taining about four hundred thousand bushels of ceal valued at $40,000, at the head of Browns Island, five miles above Steuben- vile, O. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the towboat Ed. Roberts bound for Louis vile struck the sand bar aJ the head of the island, wreeking the forward boats in her tow. The towboats Sam Clark and Eagle following close behind were unable to hold their fleets in check and crashed into the stranded fleet, piling barge upon barge until the channel was completely bleckaded. Part of the coal may be recovered in time of low water. The loss of coal on the rivers during the past few days has been enormous and in the aggregate amounts to $75,000 or SS5 000

FAIEg HAVEN.

Recovering From the ERects of the Storm-Narrovv Escapes From Death On Monday Nfght-Rarges tO Run To-Day.
 Fair Haven people are yet snow bound to considerable extent, although most of those who have urgent business in town managed to get in yesterday. In the afternoon Hiram
 Thompson ran his barge "Quinnipiac" to the city, accommodating quite number of peo- pie. To-day the Fair Haven and Westville road will have it's barges in good running order, and communication with the city will again be established. Coal is still scarce in Fair Haven, although nobody is suffering much from lack of it. Yesterday it was carted around handily on sleds. The grocers and meat men now enabled to supply their customers in most parts of the borough Captain Thompson of the new Lighthouse says the storm beat anything in his ex- perience. Monday and Monday night was
 the worst with him. On Monday night he says the way the wind howled on the harbor was simply terrible. Fortunately the wind was from the northwest. Had it been from the southeast the lighthouse itself would have been in danger. He says one schooner which was inside the breakwster Tuesday night dragged her anchor, but fortunately the tide and wind swept her out to sea, so she escaped being dashed on the rocks.
 Artist s. K. Jones of Exchange street also came near being buried in the snow He attempted to go from his office in the city to
 his home on Monday night, but was obliged I to give up when he had reached BIatchley avenue. He had sunk down helpless in the snow, and after time was found by Willard Hubhell, who had to almost carry him home Business began to revive in Fair Haven yesterday. Almost everything was completely paralyzed by the storm.

 PARIS, March 15.-The Journal Ofieiel says that General Beulanger came to Paris on February 24, again on March 3 and again on March 10 without permission from the war office.

It further says a report plac- ing General Boulanger on the non-activs list by depriving him of his present command has been approved by President Carnot.
 The Official Journal publishes the decree of the government which deprives General Boulanger of his command for breach of discipline in visiting Paris without leave. General Boulanger ayers that if he went to Paris it was in order that he might see his wife, who was seriously i'll. He disclaims having had any hand in the recent elections by which he received large vote from three districts as deputy and says he will never ally himself to the enemies of the republic.

NEED EOT HANDLE O FREIGHT. The Union Pacific Ien Return On Re
 ceIvins This Assurance.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, March 15.-AlI the Union Pacific engineers who abandoned their engines yesterday are on duty again this morning and the freight traffic of the road is going on as usual. It is stated that the en gfneers last night were given to understand that they were not compelled to handle Chicago, Burlington and Quincy freight if they did not desire to, and as 8 consequence all the cars of that line are apparently being side tracked in the Union Pacific yards. The men at the transfer office in this city and the regular freight and yard crews are going ahead with their work as usual. The com pany has evidently determined to settle the matter with the O., B. and Q. authorities in the courts rather than suffer the freight busi- ness to come to 8 standstill.
