CHEYENNE (Wyo.), Oct. 14.-For two
days the severest storm ever known on
the Union Pacific has been raging here
and as far west as Ogden, Utah. Tele-

through on temporary wire.
All the. railroads are blocked. The
snow is in cuts eighteen feet deep in
some places. Snow-plows have been
hard at work between Granite and Lara
mic, with snow five feet deep on the level.
Half a dozen East-bound trains, tied
up here, left last night, and thirty coach
loads of people from the West pulled in,
with more to follow.
The Cheyenne Northern is entirely
blocked, and no one knows where the
belated trains on it are.

The Council of Federated Trades has
postponed the ball that was to have been
given tonight.
A woman named Lilly Brown has
sought the protection of the police from

living, saying that he had threatened to
kill her. WEIGH was arrested and will
be tried on Monday.
AS lady named Johnson was walking
on Ninth street, near n, on Thursday

Fortunately the lady had just few min
utes before removed her purse from the
bag.
Mayor Comstock has suspended Special
Officer Greer, pending an investigation
into the circumstances attending his arrest
of street preacher named Wilson, or
Watson. The latter was using language
which the officer regarded as an indica-
ton that he was not in his right mind,
and he concluded to lock the man up for
safe-keeping. The preacher was soon

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE fact that the
Prince of Wales absented himself from
the funeral OF Tennyson in order that he
might attend the Newmarket races is
provoking considerable comment. His
action is especially dilated upon by the
Radical journals. His absence from West
minister would have been less remarked
upon but for the fact that not single
royal parsonage was present at the
funeral. Since the Tranby Croft affair
public opinion has been very sensitive in
regard to the conduct of the Prince, but
the public takes very common-sense
view of the Princes present action.
Efforts being made to arouse feeling
against him fall flat. 1t is generally
OF national life is so marked that to show
deep regret over the death of Teunyson
would be mere hypocrisy.
The Chronicle says: 1t is true the
Prince went where the mass of the peo-
pie went. Tennyson was never the peo-
pies poet, but the point is whether in the
hearts Of the people they really prefer
Prince who cannot postpone one days
shooting or racing in order to mark
great epoch in his mothers reign.
The Radical journals, while dilating
upon the Princes absence, discreetly
omit, as far as possible, Gladstone's alb
sence. His plea of pressure of work and
the excuse volunteered by his supporters
that the danger of catching a severe cold
at Westminster Abbey are not considered
quite satisfactory.
The defeat yesterday of Lawson, Glad
Stonian, who contested the Cirenchester
division of Worcestershire with Colonel
Master, Conservative, is keenly felt by
the Liberals, who, though they expected
a tough fight, expected to retain the seat.
1t is the first loss the Liberals has sus-
tanned since the general election, follow
ing reduced majorities in the bye-elec-
tons in Leeds and Bedfordshire. 1t is
certain to make a marked impression on
the public, while it will stimulate the
Conservatives to contest every election
where there is the smallest chance of
victory.
A movement is on foot among cattle
breeders to promote a bill providing for
quarantining all foreign live stock except
such as are intended for slaughter. The
movement is chiefly directed against the

PORTLAND orr, Oct. 14.-Henry Butts,

ing, after attempting to murder his wife,
who is uninjured. Not long since Butts
sold his farm on Columbia Slough, and

his wife was staying, and begged of her to
return to him. She refused, whereupon
Butts drew revolver and shot at her, but
missed her. X struggle ensued, during
which the revolver was discharged twice,
but without effect. Mrs. Butts then es-
capped and ran upstairs. Butts, thinking
ne had fatally wounded his wife, put the
pistol to his own head and fired. The
wound will probably prove fatal. The
couple have been married sixteen years
