Pulling out from this place on the
9Th. Just one week ago, the little party,
to whom ] referred individually in my
last. reached Chicago at l O'Clock on
the morning Of the 18th, about four
hours late.
The wild mountain scenery from
Cumberland to Wheeling by the way
Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
was missed on the outward trip by
reason Of the fact that We passed over
the Alleghanies in the night
However, the party Will perhaps al
WAYS remember the ride Reaching
Washington on good time, going out
everything looked prospective for a
| trip unhindered by late trains but 1t
! wa3 learned there that there had been
| a slight wreck on the road ahead of us,
and the train was backed towards Baltl
more a pretty good distance and then
run on another line around the wreck.
! This started the delay, and the train
was very heavily loaded, so the delay
grew worse. Across the mountains be-
| ing the place where they make up lost
| time il any, this was no exception to
! the rule 50 when we reached the foot
OF the mountain on the other side a
short while after day, most of the little
quartet from Scotland Neck were as
badly shaken up as they were on the
bav from Norfolk to Baltimore. Hav-
| ing had no breakfast, over nights sup
per was too much assimllated to be
disposed Of in the usual way by sea-
sickness and all hands held on to what
they had. But some made a break for
fresh air Immediately after rising. 1t
i no fun to be rolled all night from
side to side on a sleeping car as it
shoots around curves up and down the
mountains. and if one is inclined to
have his equilibrium disturbed from
any such causes he is excusable for
looking pale and feeling nervous
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
two routes, or the one route separates
at Cumberland, the one going by way
Of Pi;tsburg and Akron, the other by
way of Bellaire, Dear Park and Grafton,
coming together again at Chicago
junction 27S miles this side of Chica-
go The latter, over which we went,
is said to be the prettier OF the two be-
cause it is more mountainous and the
scenery is grander; but one is not so
likely to become '.seasick" by Pitts
burg,
Day fully dawned and fair break
fast having been dispatched by a. great
hungry crowd at Grafton we moved on
smoothly. From Grafton to Wheeling
the road-bed is very sinuous winding
around curves and following the bent
Of streams until the road makes the APP
pearance of serpent's track. Bat with
all the wild scenery and steep noun
tain grade, which is about III feet for
every mile, the road is as easy as fine
engineering and constant attention can
make it.

OIL WELLS.

After carving around mountain sides
and descending grade after grade
through West Virginia, we came to
the region where there are numerous
gas and oil wells with pumps at work
all the time pumping up oil for its va
rious purposes AMI the natural gas jets
burning al the time.
Then we passed through Ohio into
Indiana whose bread and fertile prairie
like fields are most beautiful. What
farming interest Observable in Ohio is
mostly grasses for stock and OCCASIONAL
ly a fair body OF corn. Stock farming
seemed to prevail somewhat through
out the parts of Ohio through which
we passed and Indiana's grass and
corn fields are very fine
At last after four hours delay we
reached the Rock Island junction OF
the white City" and took the Rock
Island road, about - miles out of Chi
cage, to a hotel near the grounds OF
the great World Fair. Lodged by |
o'clock. a. M. We rested until the morn
ing, with great expectation Of seeing
much at the fair.
At THE FAIR.
There is every accommodation one
needs near the grounds. Numerous
hotels of various kinds and CAPACITY
are open within q few blocks of the en-
trance. Here one can rent good room
a, from Is cents to 81 day and take
meals when and where he pleases and
at prices from % cents up.

A STRANGE CASE.
How an Enemy was Fooled.

The following graphic statement will be
read with intense interest: Il cannot deScnbe
the numb, creepy sensation that existed in my
arms, hands and legs. 1 had to rub and beat
those parts until they we're sore, to overcome
in a measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession of them. In addition, L had a
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an Understandable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said 1t
was creeping paralysis, from which, accord
ing to their universal conclusion, there is no
relief. Once it fastens upon a person, they
say, it continues its .insidiOus progress until!
it reaches a vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. / had been dOctOring

PARIS, January IN. Delany publishes
this morning an important letter narraung
how he received the commission 10 ex-

A certain person came 10 him, be says,
with a fac-simile Of the original list OF l12

Panama bribes.
The list was shown TO him. however,
upon the condition that he should not re-

events amply confirmed all the statements
Of his informant He adds that much more

Several newspapers this morning pre-
dict the arrest OF more Deputies and Sena-
tors on next Monday. The police were
busy between one and three O'Clock this
morning destroying incendiary placards
posted by Anarchists. II
The placards called upon the people TO

CINCINNATI, O., January 6.-Thirteen
years ago an ice gorge broke up at this
port in the Ohio River with great de'
struction to property.
! This evening a gorge broke with nobody
/ knows precisely what loss TO boats and
coal fats Heavy ice has been floating
and forming in the Ohio River for the
| past two or three days. No gorge was
/ formed until at nine o'clock this morning.
! There are five bridges across the Ohio
/ here. The first one and the farthest up is
/ the Louisville and Nashville railway
/ bridge Near il is the Cincinnati aud New
port cantiIever bridge, close TO the mouth
I Of the Licking. Next comes the suspen-
sion bridge. After it is the great Chesa-
/ peake and Ohio railway bridge. Fifth
and lowest down the river, is the Cincln-
natl Southern railroad bridge, close TO the
mouth of Mill Greek, above it.
All of these bridges have piers III the
river. Those of the Suspension bridge are
| ], 900 feet apart The channel piers Of the
other four bridges range from $50 TO near
! ly 600 feet apart.
The stage of the water hereis fifteen feet
The ice gorged at nine o'clock this morn
/ ing between the Louisville and Nashville
/ bridge and the Cincinnati Southern rail-
way bridge. This is a distance Of two
miles. Floating ice came down and Joined
/ the gorge. Below the river was clear.
| In this immense frozen raft were locked
all the coal fleets, the nine packets and sew
eral tow boats. The harbor boats Comet,
| BeEwood and Alice F.. Barr tried all day
| to break the gorge but without result.
At half past o'clock this immense body
of ice began 10 move in solid mass. The
packets and tow boats, to all appearances,
escaped with little or no Injury. On the
other hand. every coal fleet suffered.
The principal destruction is the follow
ing:
The Pittsburg Coal Company, four
/ barges and several floats, value $4,000.
| These were on the Ohio side Of
I low, KY, Mr. Buck lost sixteen
barges valued at 100000 Seven miles
further down the river is Addiston, on the
/ Ohio side of the river. Here two barges
and three floats have been taken away,
valued at $4,000. These are all the losses
definitely accounted.
Other incidental losses are estimated at
$50, 900, making a total of 100000.
But the danger is not over and the situa-
ton is still threatening.
AT o'clock tonight the gorge stopped at
North Bend, thirteen mSles below here.
Another gorge at the same time formed
Just above LawrenceburR, Ind, % miles
down the river. Between these two gorRes
the water is clear. In the front of the up
per gorge are locked the coal boats and
barges, such as have not gone down.
Behind them is three miles Of ice. There
seems scarcely possibility Of saving any
of the property in this prison of the Ohio.
The river above is open, but is floating
heavy ice. If another gorge forms here to-
night greater damage will be done People
are expecting rise in coal tomorrow.

PARIS, January 6-The charges against
NJ. Baihut, who was Minister OF Public
Works in the Defreycinet cabinet, has
aroused great interest, largely on account
OF the peculiar social career OF M. Baibut
and his connection with the divorced wife
OF M. Arminagaud. AS mniSter OF public
works Nj. Baihut had an importantlniiu-
ence upon the course or the government ~

the charge is substantially that he sold that

check for 100000 francs, alleged 10 have

NJ. Baihut, as well as other important per-
sonages whom the Government Is prose-
cutting or preparing To prosecute, Is due 70
an understanding arrived at between the
authorities and NJ. Charles DeLesseps,
whereby the latter, In consideration or

Now the Cudahy-W Wright combination,
aided and abetted by Norman 3. Ream, are
popularly believed TO De the master spirits

crowd manipulating the market are SAID on
all sides TO have cleaned up an enormous
profit, by some estimated at several million
dollars.

Manipulation aside, the maln-sprlng un-
der the market is the shortage OF nogs
Each day adds some new eyldenceo OF the
strength of the situation.
The scarcity Of hogs at this season IS
largely attributed Oy the alleged manlpu-
latOr. Wright, TO the phenomenal metero-
logical conditions in the spring Wnen IL
rained so long that the farmers began to
think they would not have chance TO
plant any corn.
What TO do with the hogs was ques-
ton, with no corn 70 feed them, ana they
concluded that il would be better 70 take
what thew could get for their pork pro-
ducts than run chances for a lower price.
The consequence was that there was
very free movement in pork last summer,
which left a slim home contingent.
