THE AWFUL AVALANCHE.
A Snow Slide in California Buries Seven
People I'm Its Path.

SIERRA CITY, CAL, Jan Am enormous
quantity of snow suddenly Numbered down the
mountain side here yesterday, tearing every
thing before it and causing the death of at
least seven persons. For Q day or two past
fears had been entertained that huge mass of
snow which had accumulated at what is known
as Butts flume might give way should q
further fall take place. The weather had. how
ever, remained clear, and people were slowly
becoming reassured. just before noon yester-
day, however. the citizens suddenly heard a
subdued rushing sound, rs il of a strong wind
among trees. On looking up toward Butts
fume they saw the danger and everybody took
fight Those in the immediate track of the
land slide, however, had not sufficient time to
make their escape, and of these seven were
overwhelmed. The victims are as follows:
Mrs. Rich, with her little son and daughter,
Miss Ryan of Downieville, Mrs J. T. Mooney
and daughter, Miss Ethel Langton.
The force OF the snow slide was so great that
big trees in its path were snapped like twigs
Four houses were crushed fat and the Catholic
church was also reduced to ruins. Besides
those whose names are given several were
caught by the land slide and one Chinaman and
a little girl are still buried. II is not known
whether they are dead. Several others were
injured Two Of the victims we're alive when
dug out OF the snow, but died very soon. 1t is
feared that another tremendous bank of snow
near Butte fume may give away. Should it
do 20 still greater disaster u certain TO ensue.

COMPLAINS TO MINISTER PAUNCE-
FOTE.
An English Clergyman Who Claims to
Have Been Maitrcatcd In the South.

Rev. t. NJ. Joiner of Holly Springs, NC. has
presented petition to Sir Julian Pauncefote,
the British minister, asking redress for injuries
to himself and wife by mob violence at Holly
Springs. NC, last month. He states that he is
British subject; that he and his wife were
preaching to the negroes and teaching negro
school, aud that for this offense their house
was broken into by a masked mob, who fred a
volley through the door, wounding him, and
then beat and generally maltreatcd his wife.
He states that they had received several warn
inss to leave the place. but they refused
to do 80, and that the masked mob appeared at
o'clock in the morning, December 90 A vol
ley was fired AMI Mr.. Joiner received bullet
in his left arm above the elbow and flesh
wound In his left hand. Mrs. Joiner received
three flesh wounds in the scalp, and one of the
assailants felled her to the floor by blow with
his fist.
The couple came to Washington to lay the
matter before the British minister, and they
arc now stopping on Capitol Hill. Sir Julian
is investigating the case and expects to bring
it to the attention of the Secretary of State as
soon as he has got the proper evidence.

Wall Street Today.

New YORK, Jan. 4-The opening of the stock
market this morning was in marked contrast to
that Of yesterday, being quite active and with
the business done very well distributed among
the leading active shares, though the trusts
were more prominent than usual of late. First
prices as compared with those Of last evening
were rather irregular, but generally higher,
and the advances extended to y per cent.
The demand for stocks was SO urgent during
the first few minutes trading that everything
traded in was forced up small fractions further
on a comparatively large business, but the only
important upward movement was in Colorado
coal, which spurted up sharply, and at 43[ was
2L per cent better than last nights closing
figure. The trusts with the exception Of sugar,
were firm with the regular list, but sugar
again developed marked weakness and dropped
from So to 571z against 591S last night Prices
reacted from the highest point toward the
middle of the hour, but the demand was re-
newed later and many stocks reached still
higher figures, aud even sugar regained the
greater portion of its loss. At IL O'Clock the
market was still fairly active and strong at tho
best prices reached

Attorney General Miller yesterday afternoon
relative to the power of the Secretary of the
Treasury to sell and reinvest the proceeds of
the bonds Of the Pacific railroads now in the
sinking fund of the Treasury. The Union
Pacific road, which favors a constructio of
the law giving Secretary Window the power to
sell the bonds and reinvest the money in bonds
paying higher rate of interest. was the only
railroad represented at the hearing. The same
question as to the power of the Secretary of
the Treasury came before Attorney General
Garland. and he decided that the Secretary of
the Treasury did not possess the power under
the act in question 70 sell and reinvest the
bonds of the Pacific railroads now in the sink
ing fund of the Treasury. Attorney General
Miller reserved his decision
