Death OF Christopher Cranch-A Preacher,
Poet and Painter Passes Away-Re-
markable Career OF a Very Remark
ably Gifted Man-Some of HIS Works.
CAMBRIDGE, MASS, Jan. 20.-[ Special. ]
Christopher Pesrse Cranch, preacher,
painter and poet, died here today. He was
born in Alexandria, Va, March s, 1873
His father, William Cranch, who was born
in 1863, was one of the greatest jurists of
his day. President Adams appointed him
Junior Assistant Judge of the Circuit
Court of the District of Columbia, and
President Jefferson made him Chief JUS
tice of the same court, which Office he held
for 80 years.
The son graduated at the School of
Divinity at Cambridge in 1885, but retired
after seven years in order to devote himself
to art, He went to Italy in 1876 and
studied there for two years After that he
went to Paris, where he lived and painted
until 1868. He returned to New York then,
and in the following year was elected a
member of the National Academy. After
1871 he ceased contributing to the exhibi-
tions, and in a little while laid aside his
brush altogether. Among his paintings
were the October Afternoon, "W Washing
ton Oak, Opposite Newburg," "Val de
Moline, Amali, Italv," "Roman Citizen"
Forest of Fontainebleau," 'tNeapolitan
Fisherman" "Venice" and "Venetian
Fishing Boats"
Mr. Granch's literary career began in
1910, when he contributed largely to The
Dial, of Boston, then conducted by Margaret
Fuller. He showed considerable ability in
his prose writing and soon afterward when
he began writing poetry, displayed talent.
His first book of poems was published in
1874 In this volume appeared for the first
time his ''Stanzas,' which have found
firm place in American literature. In 1856
appeared 'The Last of the Huggermug-
gers" His most important productions
after that were: "Kobboltozo" 0S57);
Tales tor Children" illustrated by him
sell, a translation of the "1Eneid'' into
blank verse QS72); "Satan, Libretto''
Qs74, and ''The Bird and the Bell' (1S75).

WILD THERMOMETERS

In the Northeast and Nearby Towns Regis
ter From 2 Degrees Above to 80 Degrees
Below, According to Their Neracity-
Some Say the CoIdest Weather in Is
Years.
ERIE, Jan. 2O.-[ Special. 1.-The cold wave,
while it has not deserted the West, has Wis
tied the Northeast in earnest. In all the
neighboring towns last night the mercury
dropped below zero. At Chicora ther-
mometers registered 23o below zero, drop
of 60o in u hours. In some points in Har-
rison county, O., there are reports of even
300 below.
Beaver Falls reports the coolest weather
in Is years, with tonight promising to be
still colder. From 15o to $50 below is the
record. Braddock comes to The front with
23o to 800 below. Steubenville, being
more modest, chronicled 100 below. Gas
for all purposes was short, and factories
were obliged to shut down. At Cincinnati
the cold weather eliminated early
this morning at 90 above zero. The ther-
mometer quickly rose, and at p NJ was
200 above.
A special telegram to the THE DISPATCH
from Albany, n. Y, saws: Zero temrera-
ture prevails here and the Hudson. TO the
manifest delight of the ice men, is freezing
A day or SO OF this weather will permit the
cutting of ice from the Erie canal between
here and West Troy and elsewhere. 1t will
take longer fer the river proper to get in
condition, as the water is high and the cur
rent swift. The mercury here this morning
indicated 20 below zero, its lowest notch
during the day. Agents of large New York
ice companies are already on the cround
ready to commence the ice harvest.

times they are crowded together so
