Lake Front Officially Abandoned.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.-Probably the most
important meeting yet held of the Worlds
fair directory concluded just before mid
night to night. When an adjournment was
taken the directors had formally voted to
abandon Lake Front as part of the site for
the exposition. The fair will be concen-
trated at Jackson park.
Estimates were submitted showing a
saving of million dollars in construction
and operating expenses by putting all the
fair in one place, and this, together with
the ipterminab lie delays encountered
in harmonizing the vast interests
affected by the use of Lake Front,
resulted in sending the entire show
to the southern part of the city. Nothing
will be done with Lake Front save to
beautify it with foundations for statuary
as memorials of the exposition.
A delegation of labor leaders presented
demands for the employment of union labo,
so far as possible, an eight-hour day
preference to local residents and American
citizens. minimum rate of Sl.50 per day
for unskilled laborers, and the establish.
ment OF an arbitration system. The direc
tory promised to pass upon the demands
before contracts were let.

The Ohio Flood.

WHEELING, w. Va, Feb. 20.-The river
is falling here very rapidly. The scene in
the flooded districts is one of desolation
and ruin. There is much suffering among
the poorer classes. At Parkersburg and
points between Wheeling and that place
the situation is very discouraging. AT Par
kersburg the water is still raising. The
damage cannot now be estimated but it is
enormous and the suffering great The
deluge has paralyzed business and the city
of Parkersour is cut of from the outside
world. The suburban town of Riverside
is still covered and the inhabitants are
camping ON hills until the water subsidies.
A special from 8 Findlay, Ohio, says
Blanchard river is driving all the residents
of the lower section from their houses and
doing considerable damage to property.
Not for twenty years has the river been SO
high.

of st. Paris, repetition of the scenes at
the latter place was witnessed. Just as

reached. Governor Hovey here boarded
the train to escort the remains to Indianap-
oils. 1t was the people of Richmond that
gave the train the grandest reception it had
received since it left New York. Over ten
thousand people were at the station As
soon as the old soldiers on the plat
form heard General Schofield was
on the train, they called for
him. General Schofield came to the plat
form, and in brief speech said: ''There
are thousands, my children, here that
know. 1t is under sad conditions we meet.
We have all lost comrade and friend
Take good care of yourselves, boys, and
good bye"
When Schofield finished speaking, tears
| were rolling down the cheeks Of many of
the groups Of old soldiers. When the train
started the boom Of the cannon was heard,
church bells began to toll and the Richmond
| light guards fired salute. Indianapolis
was reached at 10 o'clock

The Great sleet Storm.

CHICAGO, FEB. 20.-The sleet storm Of
last night was the most serious in its effect
on telegraphic communication experienced
for years. This morning nearly all the
train dispatchers in railroad Offices here
were without comm unication with the out
side, and trains ran as best they could with
out orders. Fortunately no accidents
occurred. Great forces of line men are. out
and comm unication with all points is being
gradually restored. The Western Union
C ompany suffered more than at any time
since the great storm of 1888. Not only
wires but many poles were down. The
Postal company was in the same condition.
The Signal Service predicts that the
warm rain of to-day will be followed by
colder weather to morrow.
