promises almost certain to return no

case stated as follows:

per cent. interest He would like to.
manufacture shoes; so he investigates
that business and finds that on ac-
count Of the rate Of wages, it will cost
him two dollars a pair to make shoes
and put them on the market.
He also discovers that the English
makers are selling those shoes for
about what it would cost him to
make them, consequently he could
not sell them at a profit. He finds
that the English makers are getting a
big profit lon the shoes, because they
get them made for one-half what it
would cost in America, on account
ofthe difference in wages.
To enable Mr.. A to start the bus

VICTIMS OF THE STORM.
Duluth Reports Several Casualties
and More Anticipated.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, March ga fearful
snow storm has been raging here all
day long. 1t began early this morning
and increased in fury rapidly, the mer-
curry dropping from 80 deg. above in
the morning to zero this evening and
is still going down. 1t is the
worst storm known in Duluth for many
years, street signs were all blown down,
and the snow fell in literal bucketsful.
The wind comes down the hillside in
terrific gusts, and it is impossible to
stand up against 1t. At times Superior
street presents a grand, yet fear
full sight. Several ladies were
caught out in the storm, and
had to be taken home by
policemen. A man was found in a
doorway with his face and hands frozen.
Several school children who were dis
missed at noon at the West end and
West Duluth are missing, not having
reached home. 1t is hoped, however,
that they have sought shelter in a
house on their way home. The worst
accident of the day occurred at Merrill
d Rings sawmill at West Duluth at
o'clock this afternoon. A huge smoke
stack was blown down and broke in
part of the mill roof. II. Cullen, one of
the employees, was caught in the debris
and Instantly killed. He leaves wife
and one child. The wind is blowing at
the rate of fifty-one miles an hour. A
foot and three inches of suoW has
fallen.

One of the severest snow and wind
storms onrecord in this section is rag
ing. The storm struck here this fore
noon, and blocked all street car traffic
before noon. In the afternoon all travel
by vehicles of any kind was practically
suspended. Tonight the fury of the
wind is dnabated. The storm has dam
aged the electric wires in the city, and
many Of the street arc lamps are out,
and the streets are in darkness. The
police were called on to assist the chill
dren home from the schools. Many
close calls are reported. The wind
broke i'll the glass front of Chaplin
Wells hardware store, causing about
800 damage. All trains from the West
are blocked. The p. m. Omaha from
st. Paul arrived one hour late. 1t is
feared lives may be lost in the storm.
BAYFIELD,, Wis. March 9.-The Sc
verest storm of this winter is raging
here, with northeast winds and heavy
snow. There has been drop of 80 de-
grees in temperature since yesterday
morning.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, March o.

the group, making a serious smash-up,
but fortunately not injnring any of the
men. ItWaS impossible for the motor
III IN to see more than five feet ahead of
them at the time, and the accident was
something almost unavoidable. The
wreck, together with the storm, com
pletely demoraiZed the Seby avenue
cable line, and it was not until after II
O'Clock that the trains began to move.
Away out on the Como avenue eXten-
sion horses, and even men, were kept at
work trying to keep the line clear. The
same was done Oh the other extension,
and, though the work was kept up with
out cessation, it seemed to accomplish
nothing. AS fast as big pile of snow
was scooped off the track, it drifted i'll
again. AT O'clock it became impossi-
Die for either men or horses to endure
the bowling storm, and traffic on these
lines was entirely suspended. Later on
the people alighting from the East Sew
enth street cable cars at Maria avenue,
who reside on that street and had their
transfers ready to take Maria avenue
cars, were disagreeably chagrined to
find these also had stopped running, and
they were obliged to make their way
home the best way possible.
The West Seventh and Mississippi,
Grand avenue, Rice. Wabasha and
the cable lines gave reasona-
bic service during the evening.
The Interurban cars continued to run,
but they were few and far between, and
it was only by keeping an enormous
force of men at work that the line was
kept open at all. On the whole, the
storm was the severest in street railway
history since the one of April %, 1888,
when traffic was at complete tie'up
for three days. The verdict of the
travellers yesterday, however, was that
the company did n0bly in keeping their
cars moving against so many obstacles.
General Manager Scott said to a
GLOBE reporter: This is about the
worst blizzard we ever had to contend
with. 1t is almost cruelty to ask our
men to face it, but we have done our
best, and | think the public will appre-
ciate it. 1t is not the amount of snow
that impedes the travel, as our motors
can handle four feet of snow OH the
level. Our tracks were in poor con-
dition from the mud, and the snow com
ing on top of that makes it difficult to
plpar them -

THE STREET CAR FIGHT.
Noble Work Done, but Several
Lines Succumbed. q

All day long there was pitched bat
tie between the blizzard and the street
railway company, and for a long time
the blizzard had decidedly the best of
it. The street cars were kept moving
with the greatest difficulty, and all re-
gard for the regular time table was lost
in the effort. The motoneers of the
electric cars stood brayely at their posts
in front, and faced the binding blasts
with remarkable heroism. These men,
above all others, are capable of telling
Just how severe was the storm. Their
great fur coats were no shield against
the penetrating wind, and their
powers of endurance were tested
to the utmost. The conductors,s
too, came in for their share of thebad
weather, but had the advantage of TAX
ing shelter inside the cars whenever the
storm became especially disagreeable,
The company had their entire force at
work, and all the extras that could be
secured were put on duty to assist in
keeping the lines open and furnish the
unfortunate portion of the public that
were obliged to be about with a means
of transportation and save them from
struggling through the snoWdrifts.
Shortly after O'clock In the morn
ing serious collision occurred away
out on the Milton street terminal of the
Selby avenue cable line, where the
