THE PUBLIC PRINTING CONTRACT
Since the public printing was awarded 10
JOscphus Daniels last night there has been
much discussion here today as 10 what
action the Legislature will take with regard
TO changing the price OF printing. IL Is re-
ported that Daniels will claim that the
printing having been awarded to him the
Legislature cannot now in good faith 10
him change the price. On the other hand
il is argued that the Legislature cannot
avoid reducing the price, as offers have been
made by other papers TO do the work at
reduction, which will save TAX payers OF
the State fifteen thousand dollars per year.

LONDON, Jan. 9l,--Shocking accounts Of
the misery caused by the cold and snow
nave been received from the southern prov
inces Of Spain. The fearful snow storm and
intense cold found the people unprepared
Tor any such visitation, and there is no
doubt that many have perished, not having
time to reach shelter. Two shepherds who
were out with their flocks in the hills near
Casares and Alusia had barely time to take
refuge in a cave when the storm became
threatening. They were already nearly
frozen with cold when they reached the
cave. Here they remained, without food or
OthCr covering than their scanty attire, for
three days, until rescued Yesterday by
searching party. One died as soon as he was
brought out TO the air. The other may sur
vive, although it is doubtful. At Medina,
Sidonia, a hungry wolf chased child in the
very heart OF the village, and was only
driven away when a number Of people
rushed to the rescue. Packs Of wolves are
roaming through the populated districts Of
Andulusia, and are almost as familiar as
dogs, but seldom daring TO attack human
beings. From Africa, even, more appall-
ing stories are received, and exaggerated re-
ports are current that whole tribes have
perished in Algeria. IL is not believed,
however. that any such Wholesale deaths
have occurred. although until the remote
regions Of Algeria have been heard from,
much anxiety will be felt.
RENEWAL or THE FROST THREATENED.
PARIS. Jan. 21.-A renewal Of the
frost is threatened, fifty thousand
persons are estimated TO have been
deprived Of employment by the severe
weather and it is considered that the loss TO
France because OF the stOppage Of wages
and trade. and the blighting OF crops will
reach fifty millions francs. The Govern
ment has donated the dead wood in the
state forests 10 the use Of the poor.
THE WEATHER MoDERATING.
A general rise Of twenty-five degrees in
temperature has occurred throughout Eng
land. and the mercury now registers the
highest point reached since last November.
On the Irish and Scotch coasts south
westerly gale prevails and there is a GEN.
eral rainfall throughout the kingdom.
one Of the effects Of the thaw was dis
astrOus landslide at Folkstone. Three peO-
pie were crushed TO death in the avalanche
of snow and earth which fell upon a cottage
in which they resided.
TRAINS sNOwBOUND.
VIENNA, Jan. 2l.-In the vicinity Of
Gumpoldskirshen, ten miles southwest Of
this city, number OF trains are SNOW
bound. From all parts of the country IA
talities due to the fearful cold weather con-
tinue to be received, among them cases of
men having been frozen to death while rid
ing or driving.
