The Cold Weather.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.--According
to the telegraphic advices received at
the weather bureau the late storm
started in northern Montana Tuesday
and came slowly eastward over the
middle Mississippi valley, where there
was but little fall. 1t centered last
night in West Virginia, and gradually
took southeasterly and northeasterly
courses, spreading over North Carolina,
Maryland, the District of Columbia,
Pennsylvania, New York and all of New
England There was very little wind, and
the thermometer did not fall greatly except
in sporadic instances, but it will be colder to-
morrow all over the Middle Atlantic and New
England States. The officials of the weather
bureau say this is the deepest snow that has
fallen in the sections indicated for several
years, and they anticipate much interruption
of railroad traffic. The snow is four inches
deep east of the Allcghanic5 from Maine to
North Carolina, and it will be six inches deep
by nightfall The coolest place il tho eoun-
try this morning was NoAhviile, VT, where
the thermometer registered twenty degrees
below zero

The Carterites.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, Jan. 1.-THE
noisy Carterites still continue their dis
turbance at Coloma, and the forbear-
ance of the community has been sadly
taxed. Recently Carter promulgated
an order from on high to the effect that
tenth of all the property of the men,
bers must be paid into his hands for
the Lord. 1t is also said that Carter
threatened to kill his wife il she did
not obey him. One of the members is
reported to have willed his property to
Carter in trust for the Lord. He is an
old man, and was knocked down and
dragged around in order to see wheth-
er he could stand the "Holy Grace"
test. These cranks pound and slap
and otherwise punish their members,
while making the nights and Sundays
hideous with their yells and bowls for
mercy. The thumpings they give each
other are for the purpose of knocking
out the devils" they claim. Not long
ago one of the members died, it is said,
from the effects of the pounding he re-
ceived when he joined the "Chosen
Seven" Carter was given a coat OF
tar and feathers some weeks since and
the citizens threaten not only to re-
peat the dose, but to run his followers
out of town.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Paris CORE
spondent Of the Daily News says NJ.
Cottu's testimony to-day in the Panama
trial left the impression that he did not
dare to speak for fear of divulging too
much. NJ. Eifel's statement showed
careful coaching. The correspondent
continues: an. Fontane showed him
SET as good natured, impudent fellow !;
NJ. Cottu as q shark NJ. Eiffel as a

BERLIN, Jan. 12.-Chancellor Won
Capriyi last night attended meeting
of the Reichstag committee of twenty
eight, appointed to consider the army
bill, and made an important speech set
ting forth the necessity for the adoption
of the bill without change or modifica-
ton. Referring to the triple alliance
Germany, Austria and Italy-he said
that if an attack was made the
chief onslaught of the attacking forces
would doubtless be directed against
Germany as the strongest member of
triple alliance.
LONDON, Jan. 12.-The conference
between master spinners and opera
tives against FIVE per cent. reduction
of wages ended in disagreement at
Manchester to-day. The employers
are firm that reduction of wages is
necessary, as IS per cent. of the private
employers would be glad to get rid of
their mills at half price, so unremune-
ratiye has the business now become.

FEARS FOR CAPTAIN AND CREW.
Considerable anxiety is expressed for
the safety of Capt. Frank Somers and
his crew, who left Richmond over two
weeks ago in the schooner Thomas
Rooz. One of the Old Dominion ling
steamers recently picked up the vessel
and lowed it to Norfolk. When found
no one was on board, but the schooner's
yawlboat was missing from the davits,
and it is presumed was used by the
crew in escaping from the sinking vessel.
The family of Capt. Somers have hopes
that the boat was picked up by a West
India trader or an ocean steamer. The
relatives in this city of Mr.. Samuel
Hayden, who was employed on the i'll
fated vessel, are kept in anxious sus-
pense as TO the fate of the crew. but it
Is still hoped that all hands were picks
ed up by q passing vessel.

OPERA HoUsE.-AIiss Martha Ford,
daughter of John T. Ford, of Baltimore,
is with Mr.. Clarlle's company, who ap-
pear here Monday night. The Atlanta
Herald says: Mr.. Clarke is born
comedian. His facial expressions are
half of his acting. 1t is truly wonder
full how quick he can change his face
from look of pleasure to one of sur
prise and agony. The entire support
is strong one, and no more thorough
ly enjoyable play has been seen here
this season.
"a Fair Rebel" will be presented at
the Opera House Tuesday night. This
military comedy drama is a startling
realistic depletion of one of the many
historical events of the late civil war.
The revolving scene in the third act,
which represents the escape of the
Union officers from Libby prison is
very startling. The cast is strong
one and the play will be produced i'll
every detail as when first introduced.
