RELICS OF THE BLIZZARD.
Engineer McIntyer's Narrow Escape Fro
 TerrihIe Death

Engineer McIntyer's Narrow Escape From
 Terrible Death.
 ''1n glass case which is nailed up in the New York, New Haven and Hartford round house at the Grand Central depot, y says the Evening Sun, lis a quantity of stale crusts of bread, which is cherished as a relic of the March blizzard. Four trains were stalled together and the engineers consumed the contents of their pails ex- cepting the above mentioned bread, which it was resolved to keep together to per petuate the occasion. When the provisions ran out the four anxious engineers sat down to play poker to determine who should die to sustain the others until relief came. ''Col" Corbett, "Parson" Scofeld, "Hi" Fox and Ben" Mcintyre made up the party, and as Ben was the fated loser he was about to suffer his fate when the snow plough came along, cleared the tracks, and the engineers headed for their destin- ations with visions of roast beef ahead.

A SociallstIc Bacchus.

PARIS, March PA scene worthy of
a pantomime took place to-day on the
Boulevard du Temple. A curious looking
individual, with long hair and generally
unkempt appearance, bestrode a wine
barrel and called aloud that he was
"Bacchus, and that he had splendid
win at a penny a glass, People crowded
around INN and his customers became
numerous, when it was discovered that
he was selling excellent Burgundy at a
cheap rate. In the height of his business
operations, a robust looking man ran up
and knocked "Bacchus' off his barrel.
The dcmonstrative new conner was the
owner Of the piece, which it appears,
had been lying outside his door, when
"Bacchus' passed by and rolled it away
stealthy. The thief alleged to the police
that he had acted in the interests OF
socialism, and that his object was to sup
ply the people with good wine at a low
price. The philanthropist was, neverthe
less, ANONYMOUSLY locked up.

Starving Indians.

WINNIPEG, Man March l2-For
some weeks alarming reports have been
received here from the West that tie In
dams are very restless owing to the neg
lect Of the government in furnishing sup
plies, and that there was serious danger
of an uprising unless food was at once
forwarded. The mounted police claim to
be prepared to put down any revolt, but
at the same time admit there will be
trouble unless immediate relefi is given.
The half BREEDS at Batouche are in con
slant communication with Gabriel Du-
mont, now in New York, and in a recent
letter he is understood to have advised
them to secure food by pillage rather
than submit to slow starvation. His peo-
pie had half a crop of barley this year,
but they were obliged to burn and eat it.
Settlers in the Northwest Territory are
considerably alarmed.

ccsslon of rain, snow, wind and cold. In
the early hours of the day the cutters ran
high and in many low places the sewers
were blocked, thus flooding the streets.
A heavy rain continued until about three
O'Clock in the afternoon, when it turned
to a binding snow which stuck to every.
thing it touched and turned to ice. As
night fell heavily laden telegraph wires
began to come down and IN many places
the streets were blocked by them. The

to the discomforts of the night the cleo
tric lights began to fall and by midnight
the city was almost in darkness save for
feeble gas gets.
