Close.
We're All Right.

Chicago, Jan. 17.-This city is threat
ened with a coal famine. Not only will
much suffering ensue among the poorer
classes if the cold weather continues,
hut the large factories will be compelled
to shut down for want Of fuel, throwing
thousands of poor people out of employ
ment. Even the railroads are already
seriously crippled, and some of them have
been compelled to reduce the number of
ward engines, being unable to supply
them with coal. The railroads have al
ready been compelled to confscate whole
train loads of coal entering the city for
their use, and as a result local dealers
are unable to supply large orders. The
stock on hand at the beginning of the
month is well nigh exhausted. The big
coal dealers say they have never before
witnessed such a clamor for coal. Their
teams are kept busy day and night, and
as the private stocks are being consumed
the demand is daily increasing. AS a
consequence the dealers are seeing the
stocks rapidly decrease, while they are
urable to get their mine orders filled on
account Of blockades and railroads con-
fiscation. The prospect looks very
gloomy to them, as they reluctantly adj

Bloomington. ILL.,. Jan. ia fierce
storm descended upon Bloomington last
night, following q period of moderate
cold of several days duration. The
mercury fell during the night to "a deg.
below, with a strong wind from the
northwest. The suffering among the
poor and those exposed to the winds is
very great. There is much danger of a
coal famine in Central Illinois should
the cold spell continue. The dealers in
soft coal in Bloomington are unable to.
fill even a small percentage of their Or
ders. Many of the smaller towns are
entirely out of coal.

Fatal Excursion Of n Young Hunte,

Fata Excursion of n Young Hunter,
st. Paul, Mimi, Special, Jan. 49,
Yesterday morning two boys named
John Baker and Richard Emerson, liv-
ing on the West side. went hunting,
following the course Of the river to Pigs
Eye. At 8 o'clock last night Sergt.
Zirkelbach. of the Ducas street police
station. held Imerson's dead and frozen
body in his arms while Baker was con-
fined behind the bars of one of the cells
at the station.
The facts which led up to this sad
sequel Of n little Sundays sport, rs
narrated by Baker, are as follows:
morning the boys proceeded down the
river to South st. Paul and then crossed
over and traced their way through the
slcushs and down to Pigs Eye. While
attempting to cross the river Mt this
point Emerson fell through the ice. He
a but thialy clad and in the cold
north wind his clothes were spc ,dily
frozen stiff. Baker says he carried the
boy, who was only fourteen years Of age,
aero SIS the river to the house of one Joe
Al stett where he was given some
warm coffee. After a little while they
left here and trudged toward home,
but Baker was soon under the ncces-
sity of again carrying Emerson. After
a tedious tramp the two boys reached
the Concord street depot, Emerson more
dead than alive. The patrol wagon was
telc phoned for from this point and in IL
few minutes they were on their way to
the station. Scrgt. Zirkclbach at once
erw that it was a serious case and sent
for DR.. Hawkins. Emerson WIS too
weak to stand and tn, sergeant
picked him up to carry him across the
room. but the boy gave enc or two gasps
and died in his arnls. This happened in
less than five minutes after he was
brought in. A bottle of whisky was
found on Bakers person and the lad de-
clared he had given Emerson some to
sustain his vitality during their terrible
Journey. The remains were removed to
Volk's undertaking establishment and the
coroner notified. An inquest will be
held ut 1:3O this afternoon,

Waughan), n Irish Nogue), one Hun
garian and one Spanish cardinal. Pope
Leo, in his allocution, thanked God for
having preserved him to celebrate his
episcopal jubilee. This event, the pope
said, would be regarded by men as q
sign of the divine protection extended
over the church in these calamitous days
through the preservation of the life of
the supreme pontiff. The pope announced

est son of the late Lieut.. Col. Vaughan
of Courtfeld, Herefordshire. He be-
came a Roman priest, and toward the
close of the year 1871 he visited the
United States, accompanying to Mary
land q detachment of priests sent from
st. Joseph's foreign missionary college,
England, on a special mission to the COL
ored population of America. Cardinal
Vaughan was president of st. Joseph's
college. He was appointed bishop of
Sanford, England. and succeeded the
late Cardinal Manning as archbishop of
Westminster. He is conservative in his
political views.
Most Rev. Michael Logue, cardinal
archbishop of Armagh, primate of ALI
rand, was consecrated bishop of Raphoe
July 20, 1879; was appointed coadjutor
for Armagh in 1887. and succeeded, to
the see in 1888. He has not figured
prominently in Irish political affairs, al
though understood to sympathize with
the national cause.
Other new cardinals included in the
fourteen are Mgr. Thomas, archbishop
OF Rouen; Mgr. Meignan, archbishop of
Tours; Mgr. Vaszarv, primate of Hun
gary and archbishop of Grau. With re-
gard to France, the pope has not only

ters, it is understood. this distinction

consent of the French president, will
