In New Orleans, about $l5, 900 has
already been subscribed towards the
movement for securing immigration
to Louisiana, and the State board of
immigration, without waiting for a
legislative appropriation, has already
opened headquarters in that city, and
is busily engaged in sending out cir
culars and information in regard to
the many attractions that State pre-
sents to immigrants. Abiding to
this movement, the New Orleans
Times-Democrat says "Once the

CHANTThLY, March l0.-The Mitch
ell-Sullivan fight took place on the
grounds of Baron Rothschilds, near
Criel.
Sullivan was out of condition when
he entered the ring, and Mitchell had
the best of the fight. Mitchell's
friends assert that he would have
won the fight had it been continued.
The fight lasted little over three
hours. Up to the end of the eighth
round Sullivan appeared to have the
best of the fight, but the fact that he
could not knock Mitchell out seemed
to discourage him, and after that he
fought with little spirit. Mitchell
showed great pluck throughout, and
his friends are jubilant, as the result
is virtually victory for the English
man. At the end of the fight both
men were in poor shape and Mitch
ellis hackers finally consented to the
proposition made by Sullivan's back
ers, that the fight be declared draw.
The American crowd is blue.

THE DRIFTS
Snow Blockade in New
York
TRADE PARALYZED.
TRAINS SHOWED UP.
People Perish in the Snow
Drifts.

New YORK, March 13.--The biz
zard that commenced in this section
on Sunday has worked terrible de-
struction and INSTRUCTED all kinds of
business. The damage at Coney Island
will exceed halfa million dollars. The
sea was tremendous, sweeping the
beach with terrible destruction. The
Brighton Beach Hotel, valued at $780,
600, was demolished and the ruins
carried away by the mighty waves,
The East river was frozen over yes
terday, and in New York city the snow
is piled up several feet high in the
streets. On the Hudson River and
Harlem Railroad forty trains are
showed up along the lines. A milk
famine is threatened in New York.
Nearly all the theatres in that city
were closed Monday night. On the
New York Exchange no business was
done yesterday, and it was decided
that all deliveries go over to to-day.
The New York Postoffice is packed
with mail matter, but no attempt has
thus far been made to send it. Only
meagre reports are obtainable of the
damage along the coast, but from
Lewes, Del, comes the report that
two tugs, wrecking steamer and a
score of vessels are wrecked near the
Breakwater, and twenty-five lives lost.
The Delaware river at Philadelphia
was so shallow last evening that the
ferryboats could not lun, and ten
thousand Camden people doing bust
ness in Philadelphia were unable to
reach their homes. Several railroad
accidents occurred near Philadelphia
one on the Bound Brook Road, in
which several passenger cars were
burned, but so far as known no lives
we're lost. The havocs of the biz
zard in the North is worse than was
expected, and the half of it's destruc
tive work is not yet known. George
d. Barrymore, prominent importer
of New York, was found frozen stiff
in snow drift on Seventh Avenue,
that city. 1t is believed that when
the great snow banks in the uptown
streets of New York are cleared away,
more persons will be found to have
persisted. Such horrors happening
in the great metropolis seem almost
incredible.

Burned to Death.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, March ia
At an early hour yesterday morning
the people of Clarksburg were arous-
ed by an alarm of fire. 1t was the
property of Mrs. John Burns, wild
ow lady, quite aged, living all alone.
A smell of burning flesh was noticed
by persons approaching the house,
and the door was hurriedly burst in.
The dead and charred body of the old
lady was lying near the CRATE, where
she is supposed to have fallen from
her chair, while sleeping. One arm
was burnt off, and her body showed
that terrible struggle had taken
place to save her life. Her burning
clothes set the house on fire.

ARRANGEMENTS ABOUT COMPLETED TO
FORM ANOTHER NATURAL GAS COMPANY.
WHEELING, w. Va, March l2.-The
Register to-day says Heterogeneous
have been completed to run another
natural gas pipe line into the city, al
though the informant was not at lib
erty to give the names of the gentle
men concerned in the enterprise.
Wheeling and Eastern capital are in
terested in the projected line, and the
gas territory is a large and prolific
one. 1t is the intention of the com
pany to furnish gas to both manufac
turers and consumers, and it is I'm
derstood that about all the manufac-
turers in the city are interested in the
enterprise.
It is understood that matters will
be gotten in definite shape in very
few days, and we may expect to see
actual work begun before spring has
gotten very far along. This will be
a great boom to manufacturers, near
ly all of whom have been COMPEL
ed to return to the use of coal, and
the line is one badly needed in the
city. 1t will probably be a line of
much larger capacity than either OF
the others. Matters will take more
definite shape in few days.
