A JAM OF ICE AND SNOW
CONTINUED COLD WEATHER ON THE
ATLANTIC COAST.
New York Harbor Almost Frozen Up.
The Delaware and Other Big
Rivers Biocked-Wfde Extent
of the Blizzard

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-No such Jam of
floating ice has been seen in this harbor
since the great blizzard of 1885 as was
seen this morning. Ferry boats were
unable to get to the piers at many
points and ferry steamers and tugs were
fast in the ice in the bay and were una
bic to get out till the tide turned this
afternoon, car rying the ice toward the
narrowe, when many of them were
smashed or driven ashore.
Flushing bay is frozen over out 10 the
East river for the first time in many
years. A number of of schooners are
fast in foes upon the sound
Reports from various points in the
state show temperature ranging
| from 2 below near this city to 80 below
in Clinton county. 1t was the coolest
day in Central New Jersey for years, the
thermometer falling to zero. The Della
ware river is frozen solid between LAM
bertville, N. j., and Newhope, Pa.
From Pennsylvania come reports of
continued cold. A passenger train on
the Downing and Lancaster railroad was
stuck in a DRIFT last night several hours
and the passengers suffered severely.
The extreme cold weather is having
ton, Pa. The work OF coal stripping was
suspended today. At Philadelphia, as
far as the eys can see both up and down
the Delaware river in front of the city,
the river is packed with ice. Naviga-
ton, 80 far as sea-going coastwise ves-
sells are concerned, is at standstill.
Reports from New England tell OF ex-
treme cold. At Winston, N. O., the
thermometer registered zero today, the
coldest for Is years.
CRIsFIELD, Md, Jan. .11.-Chesapeake
bay and all its tributaries are covered
with from IL to Is inches of ice and the
oyster industry is at a standstill.
Stock that is almost worthless brings
from $3.50 to $175 a bushel. All the
packing houses are closed. The ice en-
barge is the heaviest for IL years. 1t is
feared many dredgers who were frozen
in, miles from shore, perished in their
irail boats.
JoHNsTowN, Pa, Jan. 1.-THE worst
storm for many years has been raging
for 20 hours past in the mountains near
Ebensburg. Last night,the passengers
on branch train which. was showed in
near Ebensburg, az, mentioned in these
dispatches, were held all night in the
open country, and suffered severely.
Ine Train was stalled through the care
less work of a switchman who ran it on
siding where it stuck fast. The
storm ragged ell night, and with
the thermometer II degrees below
zero, it was trying time. Today the
engineer, who was badly frozen, was
removed to the nearest farm house, and
is reported in a serious condition. The
train has been abandoned and the pas
sengers during the day were gotten to
the main line.

CROKER AND HILL ARE OUT
A Strange Rumor Circulated
at Albany.
The Tammany Boss Criticises
the Senator.
Murphy Will Not Be the Tool of
His Colleague.
A Monkey and Parrot Time in the Kan
sas Legislature-No Prospect of
Compromise-Polit-
ical Notes.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
New YORK, Jan. 11.--Men are whis-
pering startling rumor to each other
in Albany tonight. BOSS Croker and
Senator Hill are out" says the Herald e
Albany correspondent. The caustic
criticism made by the Tammany leader
on the senator's presence and action
during the meeting of the electoral col
lege is not forgotten. 1t is asserted that
Croker repeated his condemnation to
several political friends at the governors
reception, and said bluntly: Hill has
done the Democratic party deadly in
jury" However this may be, it is GER
tain the machine magnates have had q
serious difference among themselves.
How far the resentment of Croker to-
wards Senator Hill is likely to go no one
cares to predict, but it is taken for
granted by politicians that the big COM
bination has been broken by the senator.
They also believe Murphy will refuse to
be made tool of by his associate in
the United States senate. 1t is said
New York intends honestly to support
Cleveland, and that policy of paCifca-
tion will be adopted toward him from
now on by Tammany. 1t looks very
much as if the future action of Murphy
is understood, and in any further opposi-
tion to Cleveland the senior senator
from New York state would get but
little backing.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 1.-THE senate.
after deadlock lasting more than a

ton of Democrats and Independents
having been effected late last night.
The independents tried to make the con-
dition of the compact that Correll,
Republican, previously elected president
pro tenn, should he unseated, but to this
a portion of the Democrats would not
agree.
A resolution in the interest of econ
omy, offered by Correll, limiting the
number OF employees TO the stat.
utory number and providing that
they should not draw pay for more
days than the senate set, was tabled. on
motion Of Darmer (Indpt) The motion
to lay on the table received the solid
Democratic vote and the votes of
ali the independents, except Sem
stor Dysart, who refused to
vote. Other motions were tabled
by the same vote. Organization was
effected by the election of Democrats
and independents alternately, several
motions in the interest OF reduction of
expenses being voted down by them.

and Severe Suffering.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Senator John
E. Kenna of West Virginia died at 3
O'Clock this morning, of heart disease,
of which he had been for some years an
acute sufferer. His sufferings during
the last few months fiom heart spasms
were 30 poignant that himself as well
as his family must have looked on death
as almost welcome. Kenna was only As
years of age, being the youngest man in
the senate. He served six years in the
lower house, and was elected to the SEN
ate in 1883. His present term of service
would have expired in 1895. The term
of his colleague, Senator Faulkner, ex-
pires March 4th, and the West Virginia
legislature will therefore have two sem
ators to elect.
Both senate and house adjourned to-
day as mark OF respect to the memory
of the late Senator Kenna. In the
former, resolutions and memorial ad-
dresses were presented. The funeral
services will be held ia the senate cham

What Every Man is Worth,

An interesting exhibit at the Ma
tional Museum shows the physical in
gradients which go to make up the
average man, weighing 154 pounds,
says the American Analyst A large
glass iar holds the ninety-six pounds
of water which his body contains. In
other receptacles are three pounds of
white of egg, little less than ten
pounds of pure without which
it would be impossible to keep body
and soul together-43t pounds of fat,
s! pounds of phosphate of lime, one
pound of carbonate of lime, three
ounces of sugar and starch, seven
ounces of fouride of calcium, six
ounces of phosphate of magnesia and
n little ordinary table salt. Divided
up into his primary chemical elements
the same man is found to contain
ninety-seven pounds of oxygen
enough to take up, under ordinary at
mospheric pressure, the space of
room ten feet long, ten feet wide and
ten feet high. His body also holds
fifteen pounds of hydrogen, which, un-
der the same conditions, would occupy
sDmeWluI more IQun TWO bucn rooms
rs that described, To these must be
added three pounds and thirteen
ounces of nitrogen. The carbon in
the corpus of the individual referred
to Is represented by foot cube of
coal. 1t ought to be diamond of the
same size, because the stone is pure
carbon, but the National Museum has
not such one in its possession. A
row of bottles contain the other ele-
ments going to make up the man.
These are four ounces of chlorine. 80
ounces of fiourine, eight ounces of
phosphorus, 81 ounces of birthstone,
p ounces of sodium, p ounces of po-
tassium, lilo of an ounce of iron, two
ounces of magnesium and three pounds
and thirteen ounces of calcium. Cal
cium, ut present market rates, is
worth $500 an ounce, SO that the
amount of it contained in one human
body has II money value of SIS, 300.
Few of our fellow citizens realize that
they are worth SO much intrinsically.
