HEAVY SNOW STORM
A Cold Wave Suddenly Strikes
East and South.
HIGH WINDS AND DEEP DRIFTS
Street Oars Blocked and Several Accidents
Reported in New York.

HowlinG or the Coast-Wind Blowing at
the Rate of Forty Miles an Hour-snow-
ing and Freezing in the South and
Crops Badly Damaged.
New YORK, March 8.-The heaviest
snowfall of the season, accompanied by
a high wind, prevailed oil night. A
large number Of serious accidents, re.
sulting from falls on tho sidewalks, are
reported from the various police sta
tions and hospitals.
The storm pretty effectually blocked
the street cars and even the elevated
trains were impeded. On tho Brook
Ign Bridge the trainmen were exposed
to the fury of the storm and suffered
severely. The ferryboats were compell
ed to proceed with great care. About
eight inches of snow on the level had
fallen.
The signal Office here reports that New
York is experiencing the tail end of a
blizzard which is bowling off the coast
to the north and east, and that there is
very little snow south of this city The
cold wave, however, extends as far
south as Florida.

TWO COURT-MARTIALS.
An Army and Navy Officer to be Tried
on Charges of Brutality.

An Army and II Navy Oncer to be Tried
on Charges of Brutality.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The accusa-
tions of cruelty on the part of the army
and navy officers to subordinates as
charged in the cases of private Wild and
the sailors on board the United States
steamer Enterprise, have created great
deal of gossip in army and navy circles.
Within the next few weeks courtmar-
tials will probably be under way, ono
trying Lieutenant Steele, of the army,
at Fort Smelling, Mimi, for prosecuting
and imprisoning private soldier for
refusing to perform mental service for
him, and the other trying Commander
McCalla, of the navy, at Brooklyn, for
cutting down with his sword q sailor
for breach of naval regulations.
These two cases coming so close TO-
gether have attracted unusual attention.
Even in departmental circles, where the
cases have been topics of conversation,
it is not an unusual thing to hear the
practice of cruelty by army and navy
officers roundly denounced.
Brutality on the part of officers, 1t is
maintained, is not at all necessary to
the proper enforcement of discipline.
In the case of Lieutenant Steele, General
Crook is now preparing a court-martial
for his trial. Officially the case Of Com
mander McCalla of the Enterprise has
not been called to the attention of Sec
rotary Tracy but as soon as it is the
Secretary will doubtless follow the ex-
ample of Secretary Proctor and order d
court-martial to ascertain all the facts
in the case. Private advicos received
here respecting the two cases mentioned
corroborate the newspaper accounts
which have been published about them

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The Senate re-
sumed consideration of the Blair
Educational bill to-day. 1t has gone
over so many times now that Mr.. Blair
is inclined to push it to vote before
long if possible. He has acquiesced to
the various postponements, it is under
stood, because he found it necessary to
obtain reinforcements for the bill which
would in nil likelihood be defeated if a
vote had been taken upon it week ago
Mr.. Blair believes now that the bill will
pass the Senate. 1t remains the unfin-
aAhed business to be IN up every day
at 3 o'clock until dispc- I'd Of
Senator Hale has given notice that
when the Blair bill is disposed of he
will ask the Senate to take up his bill
for the increase of the naval establish
ments, and Mr.. Sherman has given no.
tice that he will urge the further con-
sideration of his bill to prevent trusts
There is sure to be antagonism between
various pending measures when the
Blair bill is out of the way. It is not
regarded as altogether likely that it will
be brought to vote this week.
Tho Pacific Railroad Funding Bill.
The Dependent Pension bill which
was discussed Friday has lost its posi-
tion and can be taken up only by vote
of the Senate during the moring hour
1t may be considered further during the
week. Mr.. Frye has given notice that
he will call up the Pacific Railroad
Funding bill tomorrow and demand its
consideration at that time. 1t Is not
likely tina. he floor will be yielded to
him as the measure in which he is so
much interested will have to be debated
at great length before it can be dis
posed of. Mr.. Frye will probably have
to give notice of some other day when
he will call the bill up and to ask that
1t be made special order for the day.

rather uninteresting week in the House.

The Church Trouble at Shenandoah.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, March 3.-There
We're no services held in the Greek
Church yesterday The feeling still
runs high, however, and one Hungarian
woman was arrested for trying to effect
an entrance into the church. About 40
of the friends of the Rev Andrushswicz
held possession of the church and de
termined not to allow the friends of the
Rev Wolanski to take possession. The
chief burgess and 40 policeman were
also on guard to prevent riot. The
Rev. Wolanski. with number of his
ndherents, attempted to enter the church
but was repulsed by the police and the
followers of Andrushowicz

THE CONTESTED SEATS.
Tho Unseatins of Pendleton Will be
Taken to the Courts.

Tho Unseating of Pendleton VIII be
Taken to the Courts.
WASHINGTON, March Sin pursuance
of the statement made by Mr.. Carlisle
recently that the unseating to Mr.. PEN
dleton, of West Virginia, will come up
in the courts, Mr.. Pendleton says: The
action in turning me out was clearly
unconstitutional. A member is unseat-
ed by the House, and the quorum con-
sists of 166 members, not 1862. There
are two ways and two places in which
the question of constitutionality can be
brought up. Suit can either be brought
in the Supreme Court or the Court of
Claims. The proceedings can be quo
warranto in nature, and based on call
to the Speaker to show cause why he
prevents me from exercising the priv
ileges of member. A suit for salary
can also be entered. In either event, the
question for settlement will be whether
the Speaker has a right to declAre q
member unseated without quorum
voting"
The Democrats say they will not bring
suit until Mr.. Atkinson votes on some
bill which becomes law, and then they
will make the point that it is unconsti-
tutional. The Republican managers are
perfectly satisfied to make n test case of
the matter. They claim they could have
had quorum voting when Mr.. Pendle-
ton was unseated, but in order to de-
eide the question definitely they allowed
Mr.. Atkinson to take his seat on 1862

false. She says now that Webster was
