How the Fall of Snow Caved In the Roof On
Manufacturers Hail.

CHICAGO. Jan. 2a.-The accident which
at the worlds fair. yesterday. proves to
have been one of the most peculiar acci-
dents that ever befell building, and it was
an accident that could not have occurred
to any building save the manufacturers
building. which has the largest roof In the
world. The main part of this roof is $50 feet
wide, 400 feet long and 235 feet high. The
larger portion of the roof is on an incline
from the center of the main arches. three
fourths of the way to the caves. Here
there is break in the slope. forming de-
preston, and from this the roof rises in q
gentle curve and slopes gently down to the
edge of the wall. Upon the main portion
of the roof was piled mass of snow
about three feet deep. When the
rain and thaw set In the weight
ice much heavier than before. 1t began to
slide from the top of the main roof which
Is 235 feet from the ground. down toward
the walls. and the entire mass Of saturated
snow gave way with rush. and an
avalanche of snow 1,400 feet long. which
would have swept houses and trees like
feathers from its path, had Ii been on q
mountain side. came all at once into the
depression of the annex roof, and large
pieces of ice were hurled through the glass
by the rush of the snow. Wherever the ice
struck the glass holes were made in the fiat
surface of the annex roof. The main roof.
however, was not damaged in the least, and
Its great surface is perfectly clear. A
thorough examination to-day shows that
the glass can be replaced for $4,000. The
glass roof of machinery hall was damaged
to the extent of $500. The government and
other large buildings. while covered with
snow. are not injured and no attempt will
be made to clear their roofs. as they will
stand the weight safely.

ASK YOUR GROCER FOR
FLOUR.
RISING FOUR INCHES AN HOUR.
Great Ice Gorge at North Bend Causing the
Ohio to Back Up Alsrmingly.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 29.-The Ohio river is
rising very rapidly at Cincinnati. All day
the loosened fragments OF ice from points
above filled the river and moved on pack
ing about the gorge at North Bend. which
is still unbroken. The partial damming up
of the river at this point by the gorge
causes the water to back up here and rise
of nearly seven feet in twenty-four hours
is the result. The Ohio since noon has been
rising at the rate of four inches an hour
and this rapid increase continues at 1
o'clock tonight. Rain fell here for an
hour or more last night. The ice coming
from above did some damage. chiefly at the
mouth of the Little Miami river. where O
number of barges were crushed, causing O
loss of fully $4,000. A few empty barges
were carried out of the mouth of the Lick
ing river and penned in the ice below the
city. The gorge at North Bend may be ex-
pected TO move some time between mid.
night and morning.

Ceremony to Be Private, with None Save
Those Invited Present.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The body of the
late ex-Secretary Blame was removed this
evening. at s o'clock, and placed In the
parlor. on the north side of the second floor
of the residence. The windows of this
room open out on Lafayette Square. one of
the most delightful spots in Washington.
Across this plot of ground stand the Ssate.
War and Navy buildings. where the dead
man achieved his latest triumphs in state
craft and diplomacy. During the after
noon and evening number of Mr.. Blaine's
friends called at the house and took last
look on the face of the departed. The
expression of the features was peaceful,
and the lineaments of that well-known
countenanoe showed but few traces of the
ravages of the disease that carried him off.
The casket was almost buried under the
moss of floral tributes which have been
received-many of them from distance.
1t lies in the room where the first prayers
of the funeral services will be said by Rev.
DR.. Teunis s. Hamlin, ID. D., of the Church
of the Covenant, at II o'clock tomorrow.
Notwithstanding the fact that the fun
eral will be q private one, the attendants
upon the services will be as truly national
in their representative character if q
President were being baTied. The State Of
Maine will send a delegation of fourteen.
headed by Governor Cleaves; Massacbu-
setts will have delegation OF five men,
bers; the Union League Club. of New York.
will send twenty-five of its mem bers TO
represent that organization. and the
Union League Club. of Philadelphia,
twenty. From various other points
in Pennsylvania will come several
delegations of socities and organizations.
Altogether hundred or more OF those rep
resentatlves will be present. Personal
friends to the number of sixty-five have
notified the family of their intention to be
present from various parts of the country.
Mrs. Garfield will be here and others from
cities as widely separated as Portland and
Omaha.
The Maine delegation will be invited to
attend the services at the house. Not
moro than forty or fifty persons will be
present there. The services at the church

Admired by Mr.. Cleveland.

LAKEWOOD, N. j., Jan. 29-Mr. Cleve-
land has given out the following regarding
the death of Mr.. Blaine:
"The first time ever saw Mr.. Blaine
had q very pleasant interview with him at
the White House shortly after my inaugu-
ration as President. While l have seen
but very little of him since that time yet,
in personal way, in common with all
other American citizens. have not failed
to admire bis traits, the breadth of his in
formation and the alertness of his intel
lect. A fgure like this, which had been SO
prominently before the people. and which
they have so long seen in different lights
cannot fail to be long remembered by those
OF the present generation, and will cer-
tainly occupy q large place in the history
of the country. In common with all his
countrymen. share the regret occasioned
by the death of q man such as Mr Blaine,
so well entitled to be called an American
statesman, irrespective of differences in po-
litical opinions touching public questions" !"

REPUBLICANS LOOK GLUM.
More Than Fighting Chance For .
Democratic Grand Committee.

The Republicans throughout the State
are looking very glum today. They have
about lost all hope of carrying enough Of
the bye elections to win the grand COM
mittee.
Bennett, Republican candidate for Sec
retary of State, and Clark, Republican
candidate for general treasurer, have slight
pluralities.
For Congressman, Page and Lapham are
re elected by about 500 plurality each.
The complexion of the General Assem-
bly,, which will elect general officers, is still
doubtful. Present returns show its make
up In grand committee to be: Republic
cans, 40; Democrats, 3S, doubtful, 30
The Democrats lack but IL members of
the A ssembly to secure the grand COM
mittee to elect the entire list of State
officers.
The Democrats say they can elect every
one OF the 13 Democratic members from
Providence, which, with the delegation
from this city will give the Democrats the
necessary II votes to make up their ma
jority in the grand committee.
In this city the Aldermen have ordered
new elections for the six members of the
General Assembly for tomorrow.
A new election for the election of Al

sweet music being discoursed the entire

susceptible visitor.
Not the least attraction of the occa-
