Three hundred miles of telegraph line
east OF there is scompletely wrecked. while
In Colorado the damage to fruit ano
shade trees is considerable. Reports
from south Of there say the storm has
driven thousands of cattle and horses off

a heavy SNOW fell in Omaha on Fri
day and Saturday The storm played
havoc with railway, telegraph and over
land trains generally. The fall ia about
SIX inches. Snow was reported at Union

III western Nebraska, while in Wyoming
a blizzard is prevailing and it is feared

wires on the burlington are broken at
several points east of Omaha. Trains

The man who was recently arrested at
Berthoud, Colorado, while masquerading
IN Woman's clothes and going under the
name OF Eva Craig, and who was thought
to be Tascott, the murderer Of Million
aire Smell of Chicago, came to Colorado
from Colfax, w. L. He is now very i'll
with typhoid fever and in the care of
physicians who declare his case hope
less. He promises TO make confession
which viii send some one to the gallows.
In his trunk were found letters from
Fayetteville, Ind. Gloyersyille and Hook
er, N. Y, and Colfax, W. T., addressed to
Phil. Boland, in care of Eva Craig. It is
supposed that Boland was the name by
which he was known at these places
A serious meeting occurred amor g
the escort OF an up train from Vera
Cruz, Mexico, Tuesday evening. A cor
poral and four priyates attacked their
superior officers, severely wounding
Lieutenant Iilling and sergeant. The
object of the mutineers, who were forced
recruits, seems to have been to stop the
train and escape. When the train was
almost due at Saltepec the mutineers
climbed on the engine, with the view of
forcing the engineer to halt. The engi-
neer and fireman were heavily armed,
and seeing they would probably fail five
of the ringleaders jumped from the train,
one OF them being run over and cut in
two and the other four more or less in
jured. They escaped. On arriving at
Saltapec detachment of rural guards
surrounded the car and disarmed the re-
naming mutineers. Two were taken to
the City Of Mexico. The men who es-
caped have since been captured and
brought to the city. The whole party
will probably be shot.
The report Of Gen. O. O. Howard, com
manding the division of the Atlantic, to
the adjutant general for the year end
ing September 30th, calls attention to
the lack of armament of nearly all sea-
coast stations "Our needs in this d.

cessors that deem it useless to do more
than call attention to the subject again
The time has undoubtedly come when
some positive action in the matter of I
permanent defense is demanded In /
this connection the subject Of high ex-
plosives is discussed and calls attention
to 'omericonity, the invention of Yound
a Russian, formerly botanist of the Point
Barrow expedition, which is safe and /
the best explosive the general knows Of.
With such powerful agent the problem
of coast defense is resolved almost into
one Of range, and our great seaboard cit
les can be made comparatively safe with
out excessive expenditure.
