THE BLIZZARD BELT.
Nebraska and the NeighbOring States
Radly SnOwbuund.

Nopfaskh anu tuo otaNo5
Badly snowbound.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 26.-All day yes
terday blizzard prevailed throughout
Nebraska. In the western part of the
state the weather turned intensely cold,
the wind blew at terrific rate and snow
fell in great quantities. Traffic on all
the railroads in the state is seriously de-
tanned, and in many cases along the
western division of the Union Pacific
trains are blockaded. The snow drifted
furiously. Stock suffered intensely.
The farmers feel partially compensated
for the loss in stock in the fact
Of having their winter wheat well pro-
tected. In the interior portion
a heavy fall of snow occurred before it
turned so cold, consequently winter
grain is protected. The storm extended
throughout Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming
and the Dakotas. In Wyoming the loss
of stock i, reported unusually large,
with complete train blockade.
Huron, S. ID., Dec. 26. Yesterdays
wind and snow storm abated about
midnight, and the mercury went down
several degrees. 1t was 20 below zero
at daylight, the lowest this winter. 1t
has been intensely cold all day, but is
more moderate tonight.

FITZGERALD WON.
The Nebraska Railroad Contractor Gets
Verdict for @47B,OOO.

Verdict for @475,OOO.
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 26.-In the dis
trict court of Lancaster county today
Judge Tibbetts awarded John Fitzgerald
$475 900 in his suit against the Fitz-
gerald-Mallory Construction company
and the Missouri-Paci6c Railway COM
pany. The case is a complicated
one, and dates back some time in 1887,
when the Fitzgerald & Mallory Con-
struction company, of which plaintiff
was the head, took contract for build
ing line of railway from Chetopa, Kan,
to the Colorado line, about 150 miles,
known at the time as the Denver, Mem
phis and Atlantic railway. The contract
price was $4,000 per mile, to be paid in
first mortgage bonds. During its con-
struction the line was purchased by the
Missouri Pacific, and Jay Gould, Rus
sell Sage, George Gould and Sidney
Dillon asked, it is said, to be allowed to
enter the Fitzgerald partnership. They
succeeded, and when.the road was com
pleted, it is asserted, secured pay for
themselves for construction, leaving
Fitzgerald out. Fitzgerald sued for
81 800, 900, and the case has dragged
since December, 1888. Notice Of appeal
on the parts Of defendants was filed.

New YORK. Dec. 26 Superintendent
OF Police Murry announced today that
attempts We're being made to revive the
so-called ''kuock out matches" prevail
ent some time ago, and that he would

The contest between Peter Maher

for January, will also be pre-
vented. Mitchell and ,Slavin called
at police headquarters today to see Su-
perintendent Murray. but the latter had
gone home. Mitchell expressed disap-
pointment at the superintendent's action
and thought it harsh. Lumley could not
see why the Corbett- Mitchell fight should
not come off; it was to be scientific ex-
hibition, pure and simple. Jim Corbett
held the same view. He said, notwith-
standing, he would insist on fighting be-
fore some reputable club.

GRAVES ON THE RACK
The Doctor Denies the Evidence of
Other Witnesses in His Trt. Il.

Other Witnesses in His Trial.
DENVER, Dec. 26 In the Graves trial
this morning, Attorney Stevens an
nounced that after the examination of a
letter the prosecution withdrew all OBJ
jeclions to its being admitted in evil
dence. This is the letter which it is
claimed the doctor wrote to Mrs Bar
naby in San Francisco at the time she
was on her way to Denver. and at about
the time the fatal bottle was mailed.
Its intention is to prove that the doctor
thought Mrs. Barnaby was in San Fran
cisco, and therefore he could not have
mailed the bottle to her in Denver, if
he thought she was elsewhere. Judge
Furman read the letter, which explained
to Mrs. Barnaby how to get the doctors
checks cashed and told of the death of
his. brother. 1t was dated March 9th,
and was posted at Providence, March
30th. Stevens then said he wished the
letter to 60 into evidence under the in
structions of the court. The letter was
passed from juror to juror and finally
handed back to Judge Furman. The
Judge resumed the DOCTORS direct exam
ination, and he denied that be told Mrs.
Hickey that he engaged Dolle Hanley to
spy on Mrs. Barnaby. He'was in Den
yer IN March last with his brothers. re-
maine. This concluded his direct exam
ination, and Mr.. Stevens began his cross
examination.
The crossexamination OF DR.. Graves
was lengthy. The doctor denied nearly
everything sworn to by other witnesses.
Or if he did not deny that testimony,
he would say he could not remember.
He acknowledged he did not attempt to
find out about the autopsy or analysis of
Mrs. Barnaby's remains when he ar
rived here, Notwithstanding that he had
heard she was poisoned. Instead of
this he and friend visited ball game
on the day of his arrival. DR.. Graves
said he did not tell Worrell he thought
the Bennett family sent the bottle of
whisky. He acknowledged being inter-
viewed by Reporter Lincoln in the Pro-
vidence telegraph office and said he
might have told Lincoln that Mrs. Bar
naby had many lovers, and that some
of them were vile. but he denied hav-
ing said he saw Mrs. Barnaby and Ed
ward Bennett in compromising posi-
ton. He acknowledged that the letter
he wrote to Mrs. Barnaby in regard to
putting guardian over her, was
his own invention, and that the
executors of the Barnaby estate knew
nothing Of it. The prosecution inquired
as to where $4,000 OF Mrs. Barnaby's
money, supposed to have been deposited
for her by Graves, was. He said his
account books had been lost, but there
was no such balance due Mrs. Barnaby,
and that he had accounted for every cent
OF her money. He denied having told
James III. Conrad that he sent bottle
Of whisky TO Mrs. Barnaby.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 26.-Grand
Chief Ramsey, OF the Brotherhood OF
Telegraphers, who has assumed direct
charge of the trouble now pending be-
tween the Southern Pacific and their
operators, was in consultation today
with representatives of other orders OF
railway employees. He stated that
nothing would be done today looking to
the settlement of the controversy. but
everything was progressing satis-
factorily. A prominent railroad official
. said: II am of the opinion that the
trouble will be amicably settled to the
entire satisfaction of both sides. The
operators, understand, will be willing
to strike out the Objectionable clause in
reference to students, and in return it
is probable the company will recall the
affidavits which have caused the

Two Thieves.

Two Thieves.
STOCKTON, CAL. Dec. 26.-An old man
named Vincent Glenn, who lives alone
near New Hope, in the northwestern
part OF this county, was cruelty tortured
by two men, who sought to force
him to disclose the hiding place
of his money. The robbers wore
masks and had dark lantern.
Knocking at Glenn's house, they de-
manded money. He told them all he
had was $50, which was in his pocket.
They said he had money concealed. He
denied it, and they beat him with their
pistols. The beating did not bring
out the desired information, SO they
searched the house and yard, resting at
times to beat the old man. They re-
manned on the premises from 8 O'Clock
at night till O'Clock in the morning.
but found only the $50. Glenn was left
tied, but he managed the next day to
attract the attention of men on
the other side of the Mokelumne river,
and they released him. Glenn is badly
injured. He is bachelor and is sup
posed to have money. Sheriff Cum
ningham is on the ground looking into
the case.

higher side OF the valley showed mini
mum of 26 degrees, while in less favor
able localities as low as % degrees is
reported. At Redlands from 90 degrees
to 2S degrees are the figures given. On

1t is officially stated that on next
Monday morning, July 81, water will
be let into the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal from Cumberland to George
town and on August the old water
way will be opened throughout its
entire length for the transportation
Of coal. Owing to the number of
boats that need corking and repair
ing, and as at the time Of the break
ing of the canal they were left in To-
calfties where repairs could not be
made, it will require about fifteen
days to get them in running trim, SO
that though the canal will be opened
on August / but few boats will be
ready to run thereon before the 10th.
It is then expected that $50 boats
will slowly ply between Cumberland
and Georgetown, and this number
will steadily increase. A very sue
cessful year is anticipated.
