Violent Snow Storm.
By Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 8O.-A violent
wind storm prevailed in Kansas and
Missouri yesterday. accompanied by
the furry Of snow early in the day, and
a decided drop in the temperature.
The thermometer fell to near the zero
point, but about noon the weather
cleared and only the high wind con-
tinued. But little damage was
caused by the wind. At Macon, Mo-,
fences were levelled to the ground.
Several out-houses at Abilene, Kansas,
were blown down and barn at
Wichita was demolished. Beyond
these slight losses the wind did, the
greatest damage was done to. crops
The winter wheat had been forced by
the recent mild weather to an, advan-
ccd state of Development and with
nothing to protect it, the severe cold,
it is feared, will kill the roots, thus
causing. considerable damage.

ladies at Cloverdale last Friday night
was an entire success, the amount
realized being 500. The purpose for
which the entertainment was given
was to raise funds to help build
Union church at that place. The
committee in charge of the undertake
ing were, Miss Mary Moomaw, Mrs.
d. Richardson and Mrs. Chase, and
they deserve much praise for their
persistence and energy. The church
will cost about $l,100 most Of whic h

An Appeal from tho People OF Sher.
man County.
BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 30.-A dispatch
from Wichita, Kansas says. An .ap-
peal for aid comes from the people of
Sherman county, in the western part
OF this state. The cold enap which
prevailed in this section on Saturday,
seems to haze developed into biz
zard OF the west, and anywhere from
a foot to three feet OF snow covers the
ground. The appeal has created no
surprise as it was expected with the
drst severe weather" It was known
that the settlers ON these treeless
prairies were unequipped for winter.
Their houses for most part are mere
shells, and! the crops in many. cases
have been failures. Many, of these
settlers live ave miles from the rail
roads. and should the snow continue
to fall it would be almost. impossible
to reach them. with any. heavy freight.
A meeting OF the board Of trade
will be held to take steps to furnish
the necessary. aid. and. the. county
commissioners will lend all help in
their power.

THOSE RIVAL CAPTAINS
C0NROY rs. MILLS WILL NOV GO
40 THE COURTS.

Captain Mills Leaves Writ at the
House of Captain Conroy-The Latter
Has Some Words to Say About the
Dangers of the Mills Ferry.
The fight between Captain John Conroy
and Captain Tom Mills for the control of
the ferry at the Washington Street Gap,
has been transferred to the Courts. Cap
tain Mills read in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
last evening that the Board of Works had
directed Captain Conroy to assume the
aggressive, to the extent of moving away
the distractions that Mills has erected
there, and last evening he left at Captain
Conroy's house writ, requiring him to
show cause in the Court of Chancery next
Monday morning why he should not be
restrained from carrying out the direc-
tions of the Board of Works. Meanwhile
the captain is enjoined from making any
further attempt to secure possession of the
ferry
Similar papers were served on Messrs.
Dugan aud Somers, of the Board of
Works. They are restrained from pat
ting Captain Conroy on the back again
till the further order of the Court.
Is IT A STREET?
The JERSEY CITY NEWS has already
shown the point of the controversy be-
tween the city and Mills The Board of
Works claim that Mills ferry house at
the Gap and the piling he has sunk for
his landing are distractions of a city
street. and they demand that the obstruc-
tions be removed. Mills retorts that the
so-called distractions are not on the city
property, but on the land that belongs to
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company.
Captain Conroy answers that the site of
these distractions Is laid down on city
map as part of city street, and that the
city took possession of it and paved and
graded it in 1872 as an extension of Wash
ington street. 1t has always, however,
been a mooted point as to whether the
property is the city's or not.
A DANGEROUS FERRY.
Then Mills claim that Captain Conroy
cannot make a safer ferry than that
which he runs brought forth some criti-
cisms from Captain Conroy last evening.
"One thing is certain" he said II
couldn't establish more unsafe one
You remember the time that over twenty
people were capsized from Mills scow
into the water. They all got out. AS late
as last March fifteen persons were dumped
into Broadway, and the watchman at
Morris & Cummings dock fished seven of
them out One of the crowd afterward
died. A number of fatalities have at
tended the sculling of the scow, with its
frequently standing load of passengers,
from dock to dock, and can recall six
drowningS that have resulted since Mills
established his ferry"
