BIG STORM ON THE COAST.

Rough Weather, with Drifting Snow,
Causes Much Damage.
LONG BRANCH, n. j., Jan. 6.-The
fierce snow and wind storm along the
entire New Jersey coast has wrought
terrible damage to property and the
bluff. The Shrewsbury Hotel, at Sea-
bright. is being undermined. The
street is being washed away by
the raging sea and has caused
the stoppage of trains running to High
lands. The bulkheads and bluff at that
place are almost totally destroyed. AT
this place the famous iron pier is total
wreck. The nigh seas carried off the
greater portion of the structure. The
entire bluff on Chelsea Avenue is gone;
not single foot of bluff at that point
remains to tell the story. The bulk
heads and other portions of the bluff
are greatly damaged.
New YORK, Jan. 6.-Signal Service
Officer Dunn says that last nights
snow storm netted New York eleven
inches on the level. 1t was badly drift
ed. The snow storm was heaviest In
New York City, hut the storm extend
ed all along the line from the lower
lake region as far south as Philadelphia.
This morning the storm center was off
Ll0 COit5b "a IIOuS stilA tIuNCiOL
eastward. 1t is now considerable dis
lance out in the ocean, right in the
track of the northern passenger steam
ers, blowing sixty miles an hour. The
wind was Oft coast from North Carolina
to Nova Scotia. There is now no more
snow in sight for the city, but there
is considerable severe weather headed
this way. The surface roads were
blockaded this morning. Some Of the
avenue surface lines kept snow plows
running at intervals throughout the
night and were thus able to run out
horse cars to accommodate part of
their regular early travel, but not the
overflow. The raised roads were gem
orally congested until 8 o'clock. Tho
Broadway cars had four horses and q
driver and brakeman each. They were
generally solid with passe ngers before
Forty-second Street was reached on the
down trip. and as the wind and light
snow made frequent drifts, they were
Oft the track about once in every quar-
ter of mile.
The storm and wind did much dam
age in and around jamaica Bay. Sew
eral yachts belonging to members of the
Canaries, l1tna and Jamaica Bay Yacht
clubs we're torn from their anchorage
and blown heavily on the meadows.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 9.--The manager of the
Brussels branch Of the New York Life
Insurance Company has made legal
complaint against a cashier and clerk
formerly employed by him. He
charges them with having absconded
with $225,000.
New YORK, Jan, 9.-Regarding the al
legged embezzlement of $225,000 re.
ported from Brussels. John A. Mccall.
president of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company, says: IF there had
been any detalcaton in Brussels I
would certainly have heard Of it, and |
have heard of none. Mr.. Gudois, the
manager in Brussels, is banker and a
millionaire, and if there has been de-
falcation to the extent of$225, 600 it must
have been by employees in his own
bank. Our Brussels branch is only
substitute office of the Paris branch and
does an insignificant business. An en-
tire years business would not amount
to 1925, 900. Even if the amount were
francs instead of dollars, it would be out
of all proportion to what could be taken.
Besides, received the report of the
branch lately, and everything was salts

WAR ON THE UNIONS.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan. 7.-Generai
Agent Oran Perry, of the Pennsvl-

OPTION BILL DOWNLO.
Hardly Poss biIity That twill Pass Con-
GreSS.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 7.-Senator
Villas announced in his speech Thurs
day that ut subsequent time he would
submit some further remarks upon 9TH
err features of the option bill which he
had not been able to reach at that time.
1t seems clear from this and from other
Indications that the option bill will be
talked to death. There are still large
number of set speeches TO be made be-
fore a vote can be taken in the Senate,
il, indeed, a vote can be taken at all at
this session. If by any possibility the
bill gets through the Senate it will have
to go back TO the House for concur
renee in numerous important
amendments. BY that time it
will be impossible to call the
bin up IN the House, except by unani-
nous consent or by suspension ot the
rules on certain days. 1t will thus be-
in the power of few resolute men to
defeat the option bill, even If a majority
of the House should be inclined to pass
the bill.

the facts which have just come to
light in connection with the death
of ANIMAL Sherman, overseer in

volver beside him. Gazing stoically at
the dead man was a Frenchman named
Antony Murray, who h 8 been working
in the camp. He explained that sher-
man had been sitting quietly by the
stove when he suddenly drew Il revolver
and shot himself. A search of the dead
mans clothes disclosed an old en-
velope, inside which was scrawled
in French: eff l, ANIMAL Sherman,

brief description of his pursuer. A
comparison showed that it fitted Muir
ray exactly, and he was at once taken
lnio custody. He practically admitted
that the crime was his work. He ex-
planned that in 1882 Sherman failed TO
perform certain task allotted to him,
and, through the failure, two members
of the society were guillotined. Since
then Sherman has been under the ban
of the society, and one of its emissaries

CINcINNATI, O., Jan. THE ice in the
Ohio River at this point is gorged, and
experienced river men say the ship
ping and coal fleets here are in great
peril. There is talk of trying to open
channel on the south side of the river,
SO as to prevent the ice crushing
upon the steamboats, at the land

enormous masses of ice makes the
project seem impossible. 1t is
