How Winter Wheat Fares Without Its

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-The Farmers Review
says: THE winter season to date having
been so open and the usual overcoat of snow
being missing on the fields in most districts,
unusual interests exists to ascertain what ef-
feet the mild weather has had upon the win

and thawing are more injurious to winter
wheat than lack of snow, and while, at this
early date, absolutely conclusive estimates

SUSPICION OF FOUL PLAY.
Death in Connection with the Brook
lyn Strike.

BROOKLYN. Jan. 27.-No attempt was
made to run cars on the Atlantic Avenue
Company's lines to-day. All was quiet
among the strikers. Henry A. Adams, a
stableman, was found dead last night on the
sidewalk, under an open second story door
way Of the company's stable. Death was
apparently caused by fall from the door
way. 1t was learned, however, that the
night watchman admitted co the building
three strikers, who said they wanted to talk
to Adams, and try to persuade him to strike.
These three men, Moses Stensen. John Col
lier and Herman Graham. were arrested on
suspicion. They denied having used vio-
lence, but said Adams had become frighten-
ed, had run to the doorway, and either
jumped or fell out. They will be held to
away the result Of the autopsy.
While some new men were being trans
ferred from the company's Office to the sta.
blss tonight In a covered wagon guarded by
25 policemen, a bowling mob of strikers and
their sympathizers followed and threw
stones one of which struck an officer on the
head and injured him so badly he was taken
to the hospital. 1t is stated that nearly all
the new men hired by the company have be
come afraid and well desert tomorrow.

MARY cHEwED cUMrs
Until Paralysis Interfered-A Warning
to Maine Girls. r

HARRIsBURG, Pa, Jan, 26.-The most re-
markable case that has come under the OBJ
servation Of the medical fraternity in this
city for a long time is that of Mary Yountz,
aged II years, who is suffering from facial
paralysis. This affiiction is due to chewing
gum, she having employed the use Of her
jaws so constantly during the last three
months that the muscles of her face are
powerless and her nerves are in dilapidat-
ed condition. When she laughs her face
presents an amusing sight, and yet there is
much sympathy felt for the little miss here,
as her condition is regarded serious one by
the physicians who have been called upon to
treat her. In whatever position she Is able
to twist her mouth, the muscles remain, and
the face Is thus In contorted shape until
one of the members Of her family assist her
to place 1t In proper condition with their
hands. Her chin drops. and 1t frequently
becomes necessary to tie a bandage over her
head to keep the lower jaw in its proper
place. Mary Is now under the care of DIR.
Hites, who Is applying plasters to her face,
and under this treatment she seems to be inn
proving, but very slowly. This is the first
case of the kind that has been heard Of by
any Of the prominent physicians in this
city, and their treatment is much in the or
der of an experiment. The physicians have
been attending her since Tuesday.

ALL HANDS WERE STEALING.
Defaulter Moore's Clerks Had a
Share In the Business.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-A special to the Tri-
bune, from Indianapolis, says that since 1t
has been ascertained that the $4,000 that
Joseph A. Moore stole from the Connecticut
Mutual Life Insurance Company was lost in
speculation in New York, interest is center
ed in the question as to how it was possible
for him to conceal his stealings from the
company for nine years, and get ten per cent
of the entire surplus fund before being dis
covered. Later developments show that not
only Moore, but the men who were In his
employ were, with his knowledge, doing a
little stealing on their own account

HALsTEAD ON TnE CABINET.
Ohio Republicans Believe Mr.. Blaine
Will Re In It.


ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 26.-Murat Hal stead.
editor Of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
has been interviewed on the cabinet and the
South by a correspondent Of the Atlanta
Constitution. Mr.. Halstead was asked:
What Is the condition Of affairs In Ohio P"
The general expectation In Ohio Is that
there will not be any cabinet appointment
made from this State. This arises from the
fact that 1t Is Senator Sherman's personal
preference to continue in the Senate. He
has four years TO serve In the Senate from
the 4th of next March, which Is the length
Of the administration. and he would prefer
to remain there. The urgency on his behalf
has not been, as rule, by those who are
nearest TO him and most desirous Of pro-
noting bis fortunes, but rather by others.
who would like to see their friends In the
Senate. Gov. Foraker has been named for a
cabinet position, but he and his friends
seem to prefer something else. and there
have been some personal controversies
among the Republicans Of the State, grow
ing out of the inside proceedings Of the Chi
uniting OF the State In behalf Of any one"
what do you think OF the probable com
plexion Of the eablnet?"
1T Is a very general belief among the lead
ing Republicans that Harrison will appoint
Mr.. Blaine 10 the cabinet. / don't know a
prominent Republican In Ohio who opposes
his appointment There are few In Indi-
ana, and they and the New York mugwumps,
so far as l know, comprehend the whole OBJ
position. They are like the grasshoppers,
they make an immense noise In comparison
with their size and weight.
There Is another thing 10 say Of Mr..
Blaine and his association with the Secreta-
ryship Of State. IL will be remembered that
be was very much blamed for the trouble
that Garfield fell into In his administration.
The actual truth Is. though, that Mr.. Blaine
never gave Garfield any advice that any
other manly man would not have given him.
He thought that, as Garfield had been eloct-
ed President, and advised him so, not to per-
NIT himself to be controlled by any faction
in the party, no matter how presumptuous il
might be. That is exactly what Mr.. Blaine's
advice amounted to, and he gave Garfield no
trouble"

of service. Breaking roads and shovelling
paths will furnish plenty Of employment to-

JIM-JAM VALLEY.
The Remarkable Sights Alleged to be
Seen There.

lodu fAduCioCo EAahtlucAsI
'In the secluded lJim-Jam valley Of the
San Bernardino Mountains" remarked Joe
Joachinson, the pioneer of San Bernardino,
the other day to a reporter at the Palace
hotel, ''there are the most marvellous mirages
known in the world. The wonderful mirages
OF the Mojaye desert have been talked about
good deal. and they are entitled to all the
prominence they have had. But those Of the
Jim-Jam valley are far more wonderful than
these. IL Is called Jim-Jam valley because
Of the strange things seen there and l defy
any man, however sound OF mind he may be,
to go in there, and not think he has got 'em
before he gets out. This valley Is about
IL Is uninhabited. 1t Is bordered by the main
San Bernardino range on the east and by a
spur OF the Sierra Magdalenas ON the west
There Is no well-defned train through the
heart OF 1t. The valley Is desert. The sur
rounding mountains are terribly serrated and
cut up. The peaks are jagged. Altogether
the surroundings are very weird and forbid
ding. Leaving Fisk's ranch on the trail at
the foot of the Sierra Magdalenas, you climb
an easy grade to Dead Mans Pass, the en-
trance to the valley. Go on In and pretty
soon you see lakes and running rivers, and
green borders, and flying water fowl. VIII
lows spring up here and there, and In the
distance you see water lilies. What you be-
hold contrasts finely with the rugged noun
tains, and you are charmed with 1t and go on
thinking you have struck an earthly para
disc. Indian camps appear In view, and
1.-THE oarsmen propel fantastic crafts upon
the waters. Advancing still farther, you see
dim outlined forms, things whose outlines
you can hardly express In words. Somber
countenances CLEAN at you from the air
above. The lakes and rivers and the pallid
faces shift and change before your eyes.
Sometimes dozen Of the more or less dimly
outlined forms may be seen and the pantO-
mime reminds you Of a strange hobgOblin
dance. Sometimes storm brews in the
valley, and then the scene is all the more ter.
rible. Forked lightning blazes about, and
strange, uncouth animals, differing from any
you have ever read about, are to be seen
there. These phenomena are seen for a
stretch Of about fifteen miles up and down
the middle OF the valley principally, and they
have been viewed by great many people.
They cannot understand why the forms Of
the mirage, IL such it may be called, are so
much more strange there than on the Mojsve
desert. Everybody Is In awe Of the valley,
and there are mighty few men, however
neryy they may. be ordinarily, who care to
20 there much"

street brawls between the supporters and
opponents Of General Boulanger. The most
violent encounter took place in Mont Martel
where number Of persons were wounded.
The police interfered and arrested several of
the ringleaders Several electoral meetings
there were scenes of great disorder. Bands
OF men and lads singing the Marseillaise and
Boulangist songs paraded the boulevards
until late hour. In the Place de la Repub-
lique and Place de p0pera open air meet
ings were held. Great masses OF people were
present, but the proceedings were on the
whole fairly orderly, although few indi-
vidual brawls occurred and number Of per-
sons were arrested.

the streets begun to fill with people, the gen.
eral stir and hustle increasing as the morn
ing wore on. At noon, the electors were
thronging toward the 266 balloting stations.
The Boulangists were everywhere first at
the voting places. and displayed the greatest
confidence. One morning paper engaged $50
special reporters, each provided with cab
and 30 bicyclists to bring the results from
each StcIlOn with tne sr6ateSt possible
speed. The Boulangists predict the imme-
diate fall Of the Floquet ministry, and the
dissolution Of Parliament and a general
election in March. They also forecast rup-
ture In the Radical party and express the be-
lief that forty Radical deputies will Join the
B0ulangist ranks, and thus give the General
a following CT sixty members In the present
chamber.
The prefect Of police today enlisted the
services OF large number Of householders

Troops were neld in readiness at various
points, and cavalry were ordered to patrol
the streets and disperse all gatherings.
Municipal officers lined the boulevards and
In every quarter the police and military
were well prepared to suppress an outbreak.
Gen. Boulanger's electoral organization was
perfect. His followers everywhere were
instructed to maintain order, otherwise
they would injure him. The excitement
grew at 8 o'clock when the returns showed
Boulanger's majority to be $1,000 In the st.
Denis district, and that he had polled three
times more votes than his opponent in the
Sth arrondisement. Members of the govern
ment are astounded at the result, and bets
are. freely offered that the ministry will
resign tomorrow.

towing result:

An Astonishing Performance Even
for FIckIe Paris.

LONDON, Jan. 2s.-The Standard com
menting on the result Of tie Paris election
says: Paris has done many wonderful
things but has never done anything more so
than the election of Boulanger, and we are
bound to add, never anything more ignom-
inious or insane. Paris made the War of1870
and II seems probable that she will make
another"
The News says: "The election Is due TO
the unpatriotic and INSCRIPTIONS conduct Of
the Conservatives and 1t will be to the last
ing discredit Of the Comte de Paris that he
advised his followers TO support Boulanger.
