FOREIGNERS OUT IN THE COLD.
Many Persons Reported to be Frozen to
Death.

Death.
The recent snowstorms in Montenegro
have caused great distress, and in many
districts the people are suffering from
famine. In some places the mercury
fell on the oath to II degrees below
zero, Fahrenheit. The government is
doing everything possible to relieve the
sufferers. In striking contrast with the
weather in other parts of the country is
the extreme mildness that prevails at
Dulcigno, on the Adriatic. In that for
tunate town the weather is soft and
balmv, and vIOletS are IN flower.
Vessels in the Seine are in a position
of extreme danger as the river is full of
great blocks of ice. At late hour to-
night the flood bad partially subsidized.
No accidents have been reported. The
city of Arras, on the Scarpe, is flooded,
the river having overlooked its banks
in the surrounding country great dam
age has been done and many cattle have
persisted.
Terrible snow-storms have prevailed
recently throughout the southeastern
portion of Russia. Deep drifts have
been formed in many localities, and, as
a result, whole villages and numbers of
isolated houses have been almost buried
IN snow. The railroad tracks are entire
" useless from the piles of snow resting
upon them, and the only means of COM
munication between the village and
towns is by slei@hs. Added to the in
convenience to which the inhabitants are
subjected are the sufferings which they
are forced to endure on account of the
bitterly cold weatt er experienced in the
snowed-up districts. Numbers of peo-
pie are already known to have been
frozen to death, and 1t is feared that, as
the snow disappears, there will be
further loss of line revealed. The city
of Charkow Cor kharkow) the capital of
the government of krakow, On the
Kharkova, is SO completely isolated by
the snow which has fallen upon it and
in it's neighborhood, that the only way
of communicating with its inhabitants is
by telegraph. Charkow is city OF
about 100000 inhabitants, and it is
feared that should its complete isolation
continue for any length Of time, there
will be terrible suffering, owing to the
scarcity of provisions among its poorer
classes of inhabitants

DAMAGE BY WATER.
Destruction of Property at birmingham,
Connecticut.

OOHDetbitul.
Early on the morning of the 22d the
water in the Housaton-c and Nauga--
tuck Conn rivers began rising, and
bv noon seven feet of water was falling
over the dam. The meadows were
flooded as also was the Derby Driving
Park. Large quantities OF lumber
floated down the stream and over
the dam and lodged against the
railroad trestle. A gang Of six men
who were at work on the railroad
bridge which was wrecked in last
weeks flood had very narrow escape
from being swept from the pier. Fears
were entertained that the dam would
not withstand the pressure, so Foreman
Curley, of the water company, stationed
sentinels along the river ats o clock, and
arranged to have an alarm sounded IN
case of danger At 7:45 ?. NJ. the gate
house on the west end of the dam
began to waver, and the danger signal
was at once given Five minutes after
the signal the gate house was twisted
around by large body OF pack
ice, and this movement was close
ly followed by the giving away OF a sec
| ton of the dam, ) feet in depth and
| about 800 feet in length. Just before
the dam gave way the gauge showed Z
| feet 10 inches of water going over the
dam The gong continued to sound, and
the people rushed from their houses
amid great excitement. The volume OF
water rushed down the river and
the paper mill and Albert Daggett's pos
tai card factory were the heaviest losers.
Two hundred feet of the Housatonic
Railroad trestle was carried away at the
same spot. as in last weeks flood. A
pile-driver was swept down the river
and two men had to jump to save them
selves. There were four feet of water
on the Derby Railroad tracks. and
trains stopped running. At midnight
hundreds of people were tocking to the
scene, and great excitement prevails.
So far no serious accidents have been
reported. The dam, which was built In
1870, was 500 feet long and % feet deep.

From their remarks he cleaned that

that he was dead. The corpse of man
who very much resembled Hamilton
was secured and placed in the river,
where it was found and the information
given out that he was dead. The labor

in the secret, that Hamilton was still

Telling Time by the Sage Brush.


Marcus P. HayDe has returned from a
three weeks trip through the Koontenai
country.

try is very sparse" said he, land you car
travel for miles without finding water
The sage brush, which is the only living
thing in the country whose growth is not
stunted, grows to an enormous height in q
single day, and dies in just thirty-si1
hours. 1t is nourished by the alkali springs
which flow beneath the surface of the
ground, but it is fed so abnormally that il
dies in an incomparably short time. Well
the natives in that district have got the
thing down so fine that they can tell by
looking at a piece Of sage brush just what
time of day it IS, so if You pull watch OF
'em they'll know that you re tenderfoot.'
well, how can they tell the time by
looking at the sage?"
well, you see, they know that the sage
lives but thirty-six hours, and they are sc
accustomed to it that they can tell at
glance to a minute just how far growth
has advanced"
''Yes, but they don't know what time OF
day or night the sage began to grow, sc
how can they estimate the timer"
"Oh, they tell that by the number OF
branches, and the branches never sprout
till sunaown, and then one sprouts every
