IN THE SNOW DRIFTS.


SAN Francisco Ian. 2l.-The pros.
PEI IS are that the great snow blockade on
the Central Pacific will be cleared in a
few days.
There is now three feet of snow on the
ground at Colfax, while at Cisco the
country is covered to a depth of fifteen
feet on the level, and in drifts the snow
is three or four times as deep.
Last evening the Central Pacific opened
its road to five dead engines near Cham
pion Spur. A rotary plow was pushed
by eleven engines and snow thrown fifty
feet on either side OF the track. One
hundred and fifty snow-shovelers en-
gagged in digging trench were surprised
and completely buried by snow from the
plow. They were badly scared, but the
only injury sustained was ducking.
Heavy slides and drifts are reported be-
tween Truckee and Boco. A rotary plow
is Gearing the road to Blue Canon, and
during the night it is expected to clear
the track to the two imprisoned passenger
trains between Blue Canon and A ia.
Over ii 900 snow shovelers and work
men are on the mountains tonight.
Truckee is cut off from all communica-
ton with the outside world, but this is
true of all mining and other towns ia tie
Sierras.
A passenger named E. A. Sanford died
of pneumonia, superinduced by an attack
of la grippe, and vas buried by men OH
snow shoes at Truckee yesterday, it being
impossible to break a road to the ceme-
terry.
Most of the passengers in the two
trains near Blue Canon are well provided
for.
At Dutch Flat many houses have been
crushed by snow but no lives lost.
Snow shoes are the only means OF get
ting anywhere.
The damage to fruit trees will be con-
siderable. Should the snow go off with
rain damage to the valley will be inl-
mense.
In addition to the imprisoned trains
near Blue Canoa two east bound pas
senger trains are showed in near Shady
Run. The railroad people are doing
everything possible to make the passen-

A CITY OF REFUGE.
Criminals Who Find Time to Get Their
Breath Here.

''This city is temporary refuge for crimi-
mails" said Detective Block to a STAR reporter
this morning. IAN escaping criminal from
another jurisdiction can come here and defy
the authorities to arrest him so long as they
have no papers from the place where the
offense was committed If officers arrest HIM
and he is not a pauper he can soon get released
on writ of habeas corpus and remain here a:
liberty until requisition from the governor of
the state in which the crime was committed
arrives, when he can be rearrested. The chances
then are in favor of the criminal. for n large
number of the acquisitions are SO defective
that the prisoners are discharged. While the
prosecuting officers here are waiting for the
arrival OF the necessary papers the accused has
plenty of time to leave the jurisdiction and get
many hundred miles away. What the District
wants is a law under which such persons can
be held for a reasonable time.
with Washington criminals it is much DIFF
ferent They may go anywhere in the United
States they please and an ordinary police court
warrant will reach them if they are charged
with felony. An officer need only go before
United States commissioner and swear out n
warrant and establish the identity of the per-
son arrested. On such a showing the commits
sioner orders a warrant of removal and the
prisoner is surrendered"

policeman touched her shoulder and the
woman gave a sudden start and woke up
Then, with a shrek, she dropped at the police
mans feet
When she recovered the policeman took her
around to Captain Reillys station house, where
she was fitted out with dress and proper
clothing to keep her warm. She was benumbed
with cold. To the sergeant she said she was
May Case, an opera singer, and lived at 81
Great Jones street. The last she remembered
was going to bed and to sleep in her own
room. She had risen. put on her hat and shoes
and gone up Broadway to Madison square with
out knowing what she was doing and without
meeting on her whole route a policeman to
wake her up. The sergeant sent her home in
charge of Policeman Murphy, who delivered
her safely at her own door.

After reading the communication of ID" in

to impose additional labor upon a class OF pub
lie servants at once the most faithful. pains
taking and Industrious
doubtless there are some Of our citizens who
rise early enough to read their mail before 7
O'Clock a. m, but my own experience with WASH
lngtonians as a class has been of a character to
encourage the belief that it would be as great
hards Zip for them to be obliged to read their
letters before 8 o'clock as it would be for the
postmen to deliver them.
For all business purposes the S-o'clock deliv-
cry Is certainly early enough, few if any BUSH
ness men being at their offices or stores before

From Nature
Among the writings of those who love to

the earth. The data for solving this problem
are striking. In a few centuries man has ac-
