REIGN OF TERROR IN ct. LOUIS.
Broken Electric Wires the Cause
Dogs Run Howling From she Scene
Police Watching for Disasters.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. There has been a sort
of reign of terror on the streets to day,
caused by broken electric wires. The storm
of snow and sleet has covered telegraph, tel
ephone and electric wires with ice. Now and
then wire sagging beneath its heavy weight
would touch another wire. The blue sparks
would fly for a moment and shivering blue
fame succeed until the fusing of the wires
caused them to part and fall cracking to the
sidewalk. Then the people near by would
scatter, falling over each other in their anxi-
ETY. to reach q place of safety. The accidents
from electric wires have been so numerous
that hardly one man in a Thousand will 60
near fallen wire. Even the dogs run howl
ing from the scene.
Two street car horses were killed and their
heads nearly burned off at Fourth and Chest
nut streets by an electric wire this morning.
The wire was stretched across the necks Of
the horses and as they dropped to the street
The wire burned through the flesh like q
knife and cut the jugular vein. stream Of
blood spurted from the first horse, striking
the pavement. The wire kept on burning
until cut by fremen, who quickly arrived
on the scene. There were fifteen passengers
on the car and they scrambled out heller
ekelter.
There are delays on all of the street car
lines. The fire alarm and police telegraph
system is also out of order, no less than $50
boxes being useless during last night. The
police are Watching for fallen wires, and the
electric light and telegraph and telephone
companies have men repairing the damage a.
rapidly as possible, but the danger is still
very great. The board Of public improve
ments is at its Wits end, but is doing all 1t
can to protect the public.

special physicians who treat INDICATION,
stomach and liver troubles only, was OBJ
tanned and prepared. The treatment Of
other physicians, celebrated for curing ca.
tarrh, was procured, and SO on till these in
comparable cures now include disease of the
lungs, kidneys, female weakness. rheuma-
tism and nervous debility.
This now method Of tone remedy for one

the absurdity Of the claims Of Patent Medi-

The Death OF Empress Augusta.

BERLIN, j an. THE death of the Empress
Augusta was announced to the people by the
lowering of the imperial standard from it's
place over the palace.
The Empress passed away peacefully, sur
rounded by all her near relatives and her
much attached attendants. As the end came
the mourners knelt around the bed and the
court chaplain offered q prayer and then
blessed the remains. The Emperor William
and the Empress soon after left the cham
Der.
AS early as O'Clock the doctors had per-
ceived there was no hope of saving the EN-
press life. She had suffered for three days
with influenza, and bore the malady so we'll
that en- Monday night her recovery was
looked upon as certain. But in the course
OF the night pneumonia was developed and
presented q crisis too great for her remaining
strength.
Her body is laid upon an open couch and
Is shrouded with white mantle. On her
right hand is laid spray Of lily of the VAL
ley. Her head reposes upon white pillows
and her face - wrapped round with cover
ing of white lace.
The Reichs Anzsiger says the emperor and
the. whole imperial family are in the deepest
affection at the sad events, gives short
biography of the late empress and concludes
as follows:
The year 1883 was one filed with heavy
trials for Her Majesty. The death of her
beloved husband to whom she chung faithful
ly in all the vicissitudes of life, the deaths
Of her son, and Of her hopeful
grandson, all contributed to sadden the
last two years of her life. These
years she spent principally at Berlin, at the
castle of Babelsberg, at Coblenz and in Baden
eonquering her sorrow by the greatness OF
her mind and remaining, to the last breath
of her richly blessed life, ever active in doing
good and relieving distress. The royal house
and the country will forever cherish hel
| memory.
