The Colq Waves.

One cold wsve(has followed another 30
closely In IT'S locality that the present
spell OF COLI weather has lasted much longer
than is usual for such spells to last. There
mas }sen colder weather in this section in
p;ent years, but none that has caused SO
much discomfort. The high winds that
have prevailed for much OF the time have
made it extremely unpleasant TO be out
doors.
The reports from New York are that
there has not been so much ice in the har-
Dor and rivers for years, and high winds
have prevailed there as well as here. North
and East rivers have been, and are still,
pretty thoroughly blocked with ice. On
Thursday the city was almost isolated from
the rest OF the world. The trips Of the fer
ryboats were made under many difficulties.
They were, in fact. full OF danger. Numbers
OF them have been crippled, the blades
of their wheels having been broken. The
Staten Island ferryboats were frozen in on
Thursday morning. and the prospect for
making regular trips soon was not promis-
ing. or the 500 tugboats in New York
harbor $50 are disabled. The Others have
doubled their rates aud are resping a rich
harvest. The ocean liners are detained at
their wharves, and 10 many kinds OF BUSH
ness there isn't much being done, owing to
the Interruptions Of transportation by
water.
Extremely cold weather is reported in
nearly every part OF the country. IL will
have the effect Of greatly increasing travel
to the south. Indeed the increase is already
very noticeable. In this locality tho
weather, it is probable, will be very pleas
ant within the next few days.
The Philadelphia Ledger, summing up
the senatorial situation, says: The next
United States Senate may stand: Repup-
licsns 40. democrats 40, populists 1, with a
contest in Montana and Wyoming debatea-
BILE. Senator Stewart is Chased here as a
republioansnd Irby as demo GRAFT" There
may be some doubt about Senator Stewards
republicauism. after his silver declarations;
but there should be no doubt about Irby's
democracy. He is chairman of the state
democratic executive committee OF South
Carolina aud has frequently declared that
in politics be is a democrat first and an alli-
anceman efterward. Furthermore, two of
the populists. PETER and Kyle, it is under
stood, have agreed to vote with the demo-
Gratis on the leading questions OF public
policy, so that democratic control Of the
Senate seems assured beyond peradventure.
Gov. Roswell P. Flowers son-in-law, j.
Byron Taylor, was caught in rather bad
company by the police of Watertown, N.
", q. few nights ago. He was one of the
promoters Of an entertainment by the Gar
land City Debating Society" and the tick
cts said the subject for debate on that o.
casion would be "Pugilism; Lynch for
and Rangers against" When the
police raided the place they found prize
fight in full blast, and Taylor was one OF
the hackers OF Lynch.
Here Is q bit OF gossip that the ladies' will
appreciate: Mrs. Cleveland wears No. 50

ably gives her feet all ths room they need
in the lesther-s very sensible thing 10 DO.
