severe storm-Wires Down.

ST. LOUIS, January IA storm OF rain,
snow. and sleet had made the streets Of st.
Louis dangerous to humanity and the
brute creation from icicles and from the
breakages of electric-light wires. Two
street-car horses were instantly killed by
electric wires which dropped across
their backs. There were fifteen pas
sengers on the car and they scrambled
out in every direction, some trying to get
out of the windows. There are delays on
all of the street-car lines. The fre-alarnl
and police-telegraph system is also out of
order. no less than $50 boxes being useless
during last night. Fortunately no fires oc-
Cured or the result would undoubtedly
have been disastrous.

The movements of the American Tobacco

by All and with anxiety by many. Farmers
ON our streets to-day have discussed tine
matter freely. many Of whom censure the
Legislature for having 80 hastily granted
the charter. One gentleman in converse
ton with the Disp0ich representative said:
lnasmuch "a the Democratic party
had put itself on record as an enemy TO
trusts and monopOics, instIlling into
our people through its representatives
on the stump hatred and opposition to
these iniquities in every form, that il ls 10
be regretted that a Legislature which IS
Democratic by the largest majority for
wears should be SO inconsistent as to in
corporate this gigantic monopoly, thus
losing the first opportunity offered them
I'm tins direction to strike blow for the
people"
