The lumbermen report a fine business in
the woods this winter, the conditions hav-
ing rarely been so favorable. The haul
ing has been carried on to good account
the snow being of about the right quantity
and the ground in good condition. A very
large amount of logs has already been OBJ
tanned and the drives will be big ones, with
many millions of feet of logs. The only
drawback to the operations was the ,ondi
tiou of the ssamps. which did not freeze
over hard before the coming of the snow,
90 that they have been in rather poor con
ai,;op- Otherwise there has been nothing
to complain of. and the operations have
gone on at lively rate.

made now are for the most part temporary,
and the whole telegraphic system will need
TO be thoroughly overhauled as soon as the
circuits are opened up for business again.
In the meantime the police patrol wagons
will have to lie idle, and the patrolman in
making arrests will walk his prisoner to the
station house, as was the custom prior to the
adoption of the Gamewell system three years
ago.
Several fires occurred yesterday, but
fortunately none of them were in the dis
tricts where the alarm system was crippled,
and the alarms were sent in and answered
promptly. An alarm from box IA at $40
yesterday afternoon was caused by Chin
ney blaze in an italian court off Diamond
streetJust above Wood street. 1t was ex-
tinguished with Babcocks and without loss.
Electric Light Was Scarce.
The electric light was one of the things
that could not be had until late hour yes
terday afternoon either in Pittsburg or Al
Iegheny except those connected with the
Pittsburg Light and Power Company,
whose wires were undisturbed. The reason
was very simple one, but the convenience
was as great to one as the inconvenience to
the other. The strength OF the current from
the heavy electric light wires was too much
for the slight wires of the telephone and as
consequence the latter were knocked out.
A big electric light wire would
sag down upon several telephone wires
and then everything would be mixed up.
The natural result was that the current
had to be shut off some where and the cleo
trio light company did it. ~
While the electric cars stopped, the tele-
phone ceased its call, and the telegraph line
its click the home sufferer was the person
who depended upon either of these. In the
middle of the day there was dark
ness enough to require artificial
light, but when the stovekeeper
reached for the thumb key and gave it a
twist, he found no light. When there was
gas he turned it on, but in many places
where the gas fixtures had been removed
there was trial and tribulation. Several big
Wholesale houses were caught in this fix,
and, as they could not show their goods,
they were compelled 10 close up.

Serious Accident to a Man and a Boy
New York.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
NEW YORK, Dec. ia whirling da
wish Of cyclone from the wild West
whisked its skirts across the town to-
day and danced out to sea to tram
pie into wreck the merchant fleets
in northern latitudes. The cyclone was
first observed on Monday between st. Louis
and Chicago. 1t pirouetted, constantly
gathering strength and girth until o'clock
on Tuesday morning. Then it gave a wild
whoop and pranced off to the Southeast.
The northerly edge of it struck the city at
4:30 this morning.. A fierce northeaster
rushed into the void created by the storm,
bringing with it a chilly rain. Such an
erratic blast has not been felt hereabouts
for many day.
The wind got behind big sign fastened
even with the windows on the third floor OF
Wilbur & Hastings stationery and print
ing establishment. 1t fell on the heads Of
a man and boy and knocked both of them
unconscious, injuring the boy so badly that
he may die, and injuring the man very
seriously 1t was 80 feet long, Sc inches
deep and inches thick.

Cable and Electric Lines Fail to Make Time

ley Quit Business at an Early Hour and
Others Followed.

The three cable car systems of the city
received their first Knockout blow yester-
day since they were put into operation.
They experienced the only genuine touch
of winter they have known, and the result
was decidedly demoralizing. By evening
the gripmen and conductors were so mixed
up that they hardly knew whether they
were coming or going.
Some OF the lines began to battle with the
snow Tuesday night, or early Wednesday
morning, after the regular runs had ceased.
The Citizens line made an especially strong
bid of this kind for clear tracks BY starting
in with snow plow, but even this precau-
ton did not give thsn clear sailing, and all
day long they had more or less trouble.

.ENVEL0PED IN A SNOWY PAIL
IcOntinued From. First Puge.l

terday morning was crowded with school
children, clerks and business men. just as
the car got half way down the hill the safety
cable was forced off the pulleys by the snow
and the car stopped. An attempt was made
to prop it up, but it was unsuccessful. A
number OF the passengers hazarded the dan
gerous walk down the hill. The majority,
however, had to wait for nearly half an hour
to get to the bottom of the incline.
The cars on the Knoxville Incline are
covered with canvas on heavy iron frame
work. At about IL o'clock the weight OF
the snow on the canvas roof of one of the
cars caved it in. The ironwork also fell.
A number of passengers were struck, but no
one was injured seriously.
The West End vas shut off from commu-
nication with the central part of the city by
the street car route until after II o'clock
yesterday. 1t took until o'clock for the
street car company to get its snow plow
running. Twelve horses were required at
first.
Telegraph and telephone wires were
strewn along West Carson street yesterday,
and linemen were busy repairing the
breaks

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 1.-THE third eau
Gus of Republican Senators on the state
of business was held tonight and
resulted in agreement. The basis was
the adoption of the financial scheme
reported by the caucus committee,
with the exception fthe 2 two per cent bond
project. So the measure will provide Tor
the purchase of the S12, 600. 900 silver bullion
surplus; the reduction of the compulsory
requirement of bond deposits by national
banks; the extension of the national bank
circulation to the full amount of their bond
deposits; the replacement of the deficiency in
national bank circulation below $3.50, 000, 600
by Treasury notes based on silver bullion
purchases; the provision for free coinage
when silver is maintained at par for one
year; the provisions for a charge on the con-
version of gold coin into bars and the re-
coinage of the subsidiary silver coins.
This measure was rot satisfactory in
every detail to all the Senators, but was
accepted as the best possible compromise.
The measure was recommitted to the Cau-
Gus Committee, with instructions to per-
feet 1t in form and give it over to the FL
nance Committee, which will report it to
the Senate at an early day. The caucus
also instructed the Committee on Rules to
dHu ICpult,
Aldrich, a cloture rule. 1t is understood
that it will be framed on lines of the rule
proposed last session by Senator Hoar and
will provide for ordering the previous
question on any pending proposition after
a reasonable time allowed for debate.
This rule is not to be reported until the
financial bill has been presented to the
Senate by the Finance Committee.
No provision was made for the adoption
of extraordinary measures to secure action
by the Senate upon the proposed rule, and
future developments are expected to shape
the policy of the majority in that respect
While the financial bill is in process Of
construction, the debate on the elections
bill is expected to continue. The friends of
this measure were satisfied with the pro-
gramme agreed upon. as they thought they
saw in the proposed new cloture rule
means of securing final action upon their
favorite bill.

STORM ON THE COAST.
Wind and Waves Together Make Sad
Havoc at Atlantic City.
NEW YORK DOES NOT ESCAPE.
Much Damage Reported From Towns
Throughout Pennsylvania.
INTELLIGENCE FROM VARIOUS POINTS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
ATLANTIC CITY. Dec. ia severe
windstorm set in here early this morning,
accompanied by an unusually high tide:
The wind blew down section Of fully 150
feet OF the electric street car depot, on Main
avenue, and completely demolished Rogers
Inlet House. Five electric cars were badly
wrecked when the depot fell, but luckily no
one was injured.
The same wind was accompanied by de-
struetive sea. which carried away the steam
boat landing at the foot of Baltic avenue,
twisted and shattered the Yachtmen's As
sociation wharf and strewed the debris of
wrecked pavilions over the inlet district
Along the beach front proper the lofty new
boardwalk remained intact, despite the on
slaught of the waves.
Down at the old Excursion House dis
trict there was considerable damage done to
pavilions seaward of the boardwalk, while
on the meadow side of the city everything
was under water. Noting could be learned
as to the condition OF affairs at Brigantine
and Petersbeach, but it is generally believed
that the storm played considerable havoc at
both places.

cleaned within u hours after snowfall
ceases. There was question yesterday
morning as to whether the enforcement of
the law should be assumed by the Public
Works or Public Safety departments. Chief
Brown was out of the city, but Chief Bige-
low decided that he would undertake to
enforce the law, with the assistance of the
police. Inspector McAleese promptly came
forward and volunteered to notify the peo-
pie in his district, aud to-day Chief Bigelow
will clean mp all uncleaned sidewalks and
then sue those who failed to comply with
the law.
The Department OF Public Works had a
large force of men with horses and wagons
at work on the downtown business streets
yesterday afternoon and last night. The
snow was shoveled up into the wagons and
hauled to the river, where it was dumped.
Daylight this morning will probably gee
the streets in the lower part of the city in
frst-class condition.
