THE CAPTAINS STATEMENT.

He Says That the Crew of the John
 Kranz Were Treated well and Had
 Unusually Good Ratf0ns.
 Several of the papers have printed reports concerning Captain Mcdonald of the schooner John Kranz, charging him with cruelty to the two sailors who deserted the vessel, and giving this as reason for their desertion. These reports are denied by Captain McDon- aid, who is in this city waiting for favorable weather.
 He said: "We left pier II, East river, on Monday morning with 8 general cargo con- signed to Mackay, Dunn & Co.,, Port Eliza beth, Cape Colony, Africa. While off this harbor Tuesday evening about o'clock we were obliged to anchor, as there was no wind. These two deserting sailors were on watch. Each man is entitled to two months pay, s16 per month, three days after ship ping. That is what these men wanted, and they intended to go to New York and get the money"
 ''I see in one of the reports that Kaldron accuses me of cruelty" went on the captain. ''That is false. I hardly spoke to these men after leaving New York. Neither did they have any trouble with the mate to my knowl- edge. The statement that the rations were bad is also untrue. Our off-shore American vessels give good grub and plenty of it. We are unlike many of the foreign vessels which sail to our ports in this respect. The men had no grievances whatever, and 1t was a well laid plan for the sailors to desert and get their advance. That's all there is to it. |"

THE COLD WAVE.

It Has Passed By-COIdest Snap of the
 Winter-SkatinG on the old Green
 At Lake Whitney-The '69 and '9O
 Winter.
 Sergeant Cox, signal officer, says the back bone of the present cold snap is broken. We are to have warmer weather to-day. The cold wave of the last two days has been the most severe of the winter. Yesterday morn- ing at 8 o'clock the thermometer was at 12 degrees. The coldest was degrees. The velocity of the wind was from twenty-five to thirty miles an hour during yesterday. At o'clock in the afternoon the thermometer had crept up to 23 degrees and to-day the tenn perature will probably be comparatively comfortable.
 Ice is now abundant on all the ponds and lakes near by. On Lake Whitney the sur face is frozen more solidly than at any time this season and skaters were plenty all day yesterday in spite of the biting cold winds and squalls of snow, which was taken up and blown in the faces of the happy athletes.
 A large number of young people made the Green lively in the afternoon and evening. The portion near Church and Chapel streets presented fine surface for skating and was put to it's utmost use. Other parts were also flooded during the day and will give room for more skaters to-day if the cold continues. Many youngsters also enjoyed pretty good coastinR before the State House and in the rear of Trinity church.
 The sudden, abrupt and great changes in tempersture have set all of the old ''weather birds" to talking, and many "reminiscences of weather of all kinds are flying around almost as fast as the weather itself changes nova days. The open period of winter which has been scarcely broken till two days ago is par alleled in several instances, according to the old inhabitants The most "open" winter that we have had of late years, in the remem. brance of an old citizen, was the winter o1 1S69-70. During that winter there was nc cold weather till the middle of February. During the month of January 1t was not cold enough to freeze the top of water standing in pail in our friends yard. The ground was not hard, and only in the early morning hours did it show any signs of winter. The last week of February was, however, exceedingly cold and March was fearful. It was one of the worst Marches in the memory of many an old resident. Spring was very late and freezing weather was endured till the second week in May. Trees did not begin to bud till about this time. The ensuing summer was very hot and dry, and weeks upon weeks passed by with no sign of rain. stWe've got to have just about as much cold weather during the year anyway, no matter when it comes," said an old citizen last even ings "but I'd sooner have it come when it ought to, than be all summer in goinR.' And this seems to be the prevailing opinion upon this all important, momentous and Weighty question of "Weather."

BOARD OF FINANCE.
No Appropriation to Pay Certain Bills
 Against the City.

The board of finance met last night and considered the following bills: Daniel o. Twitchell $200, John and Nancy Ahern s20, M. Dillon S144.75, James Kelly $100, Patrick Rays $10O, William Button $s5. These are all bills against the city for damages caused by street Improvements, which the board of public works cannot pay, as the $10,0o0 ap- propriated for such damages has been e1pend- ed. Two bills were referred back to the board of public works to designate from what appropriation they shall be paid.
 The bill from the Consolidated road fer $299. .05, one-half the expense of raising the James street bridge, was reconsidered and tabled for consideration at the next meeting.
 It was voted that on February 12 all old bills be brought up and disposed of.
 A bill of $173.08, from the Consolidated road, which they want the city to pay as its half of the expense of closing Ferry path and opening Main street, was referred to the cor poration counsel.
