Snowfall for Twenty-four Hours and No
Sign OF Thaw.

PORTLAND. Feb. 3--The weather in this
locality shows no signs of improving. II
has showed almost without interruption
for :weniy-four hours past, and the Their
mometer remains in the vicinity of 20 deg.
above zero. The snow Is Is inches deep
on level. The electric street car CON-
panies are able to operate their lines after
a fashion, but the suburban lines have ali
been blocked for three days. The cable
road and the FIRST street horse car line
keep running most OF the time The pub
lie schools are still closed and business is
suspended in many lines. II is feared that
when the thaw comes much damage will
result from the heavy weight of snow, the
roofs of many buildings hot being strong
enough 70 sustain it. In Eastern Oregon
the intense cold. together with the heavy
snowfall. is causing great suffering among
the stock on the ranges. Union Pacific
trains are all behind time. the trouble
being caused by snowdriits between this
city and the Cascades. The Southern Pa
citir runs close TO schedule time, the snow
ploy being able TO clear the track, since
the snow in the Willamette valley is not
drifted. The upper Columbia river has
heen closed to navigation for week. The
lower Columbia is open. though floating
ice makes nav CATION difficult.

commonly known as Mrs. Boyd, on the
charge OF killing Thomas Henderson BOYD
was continued yesterday by Justice Hum
phrey until next Friday morning. on ac-
count of the Yesler case. Attorney Martin

woman, but asked that the case be con-
tinued one week on the ground that the
Justices time was fully occupied with the

David Evans was ground to pieces by a
trip of coal cars on the slope at Newcastle
Yesterday. His brains were strewn all
over the ground and his body cut in a
horrible manner. How the accident &C.
CURED is not exactly known. but it must
have been either from carelessness or
thoughtlessness, for there was plenty of
room for him to have gotten off the way of
the trip. Word was Immediately sent to
Coroner Horton. who replied that no in
quest would be held. Evans had worked
on the slope for three years as rollerman.
He leaves wife and small child. The
funeral services will be held under the

LAVAN'S SAII STORY.
An Irish Patriot Who Had Suf-
fered for His Country.
HIS CASE IN THE Ju5aY's HANDS.
Reduced From ComfoEt to Poverty
With . Largo Fsmiry-Disagres-
ment in the waltfsew Case.

The case of the state against Patrick
Lavan, for shooting ex-Strset Superintend-
ent Cummings was resigned by Judge
Humes yesterday morning. All the tes-
timony for the state had zbeen put in on
the preceding day and AZ for the defend
ant with the exception 81 one witness.
Harry White was called t. the stand yes
terday and testified that he had given
Lavan work at various tii.es while mayor
of the city, and that from :.avan's actions
and manner of speaking at times he con-
sidered that he was not atSays in a sound
state Of mind. =
The trial has been we'll stended since it
was commenced on Wednesday morning,
and considerable sympathy was expressed
by those who followed the. details of the
testimony.
Lavan's story. as told y.himself and by
witnesses, is an interesting. and a sad one.
1t appears that Lavan, although he has
been employed as labores by the city for
some time past, has know5i better days.
He was well-to-do merch+nt in Ireland,
and was doing we'll in Business when he
was induced to mix himself up in the land
troubles that are periodicaE:y springing up
in Ireland. He was arrested, tried and
sentenced to seven years ii. prisonment on
the charge of treason. blft was released
after he had served four years OF his sem
tence. When he was setzree he came to
this country, and finally settled in Seattle.
Trouble still followed him, however, for
his wife became sick and gas committed
to the Steilacoom insane asylum. This
proved q great blow to Lavs:n, and left him
with q family of seven CHILDREN on his
hands.
1t was subsequent to th9 that the wit
nesses testified to his strange actions. and
he said that when he was discharged by
Cummings he started to go=to Tacoma. but
that after going down to the water front
he returned to the city hall4o inquire into
the reason for his dismissal He said that
he had put pistol in his pocket before
starting, but never had asy intention of
shooting any one. Whes he got to the
city hall he entered into conversation
with Cummings, and has ns distinct recol-
lection of what happened uEtil he was ar
rested tor shooting him.
On several occasions, While giving her
testimony as to Lavan's strange actions
since her mothers insanity, and to the
change in the condition of t1e family since
their coming to this coulsry, his elder
daughter was interrupted b., violent fits of
weeping. On one occasion It was neces-
sary to interrupt proceedings until she was
able to resume her story.
Neither the prosecuting witness nor
three other witnesses by wsom Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney McEride intended
to rebut the testimony of the defense as to
the insanity of the defendans, appeared in
court yesterday morning, ss1d as Judge
Humes refused to wait for ITEM, the case
was given to the jury with Instructions to
bring in q sealed verdict.
AT half past 5 yesterday aeernoon they
had not yet succeeded in de1iding upon a
verdict. ~'

superior court yesterday, ans uncontested
DEGREES were granted to the plaintiffs in
all OF them. Two husban@:s were freed
from their wives, and two wives from their
husbands.
The first one to be heard gas that of Il.
c. Gardner against Florenc, n. Gardner
1t appeared that the parties syere married
at Woodsford, Me-, in August, 1880, but
that in 1889 the defendant deserted her
husband and has lived apsct from him
ever since.
The second case was that of Elizabeth
Kirkland against William :. Kirkland,
and recites that the couple Iere married
in April 1888. at Fargo. n. Il; that since
the marriage the husband hzs treated his
wife in cruel manner and s.lbjected her
to great indignities by calling her obscene
and abusive names, and that5on one occa-
sion he choked her until people came to
her assistance. The complaint states that
Kirkland is a pressman, AID receives a
salary Of $24; upon this showing the
plaintiff demands a divorce, n reasonable
amount OF aNmony ana the right to as
sumo her maiden name q Elizabeth
Farmer
Thompson Smith then appeared and re-
quested to be divorced frog, his wife,
Annie Smith. He said in hiS complaint
that they had been married 1t Elizabeth
Town, ILL.,. in December. 1SS6, and had
two children, a girl OF II and : boy of s;
that since November, 1855, f4s wife had
left him and refused to return. and that he
is ignorant of her whereaboutS. On these
grounds he requests divorce and to be
given the custody OF the child1en.
The last case to be disposed of was that
of Nettie nortner against her husband.
George J. Dorfner. The plaia,it's story
was that she was married at Port Town
send on February IL, 1889 but chat in 1890
she was deserted by her HUSBAND: that
there is one boy 4 years Of age the issue of
the marriage. For this desertian she pravs

IN favor of one and four IN favor of the
other OF the parties. The judge then ex-
cused them from further consideration of
tue case. which will be set for new trial.
LII appears however that there was an
exceedingly firm minority of four who de-
ciared themselves In favor of the defend
ant on the first ballot, and not even an all
night discussion of the matter could in
uuee them to accept the view of the
majority. who thought that the plaintiff
should recover. The question of the
amout of damages was not gone into,
since thew could not agree upon the aues-
ton OF whether the plaintiff or defendant
was entitled to recover

came up before Judge Osborn yesterday.
In their answer the defeniassts DENY all
the allegations of the compiesnt, except
that the $40 had not been zoaid. The
fact was that the plaintiff clairsed to have
been employed 10 draw the plans, and
made them. but that the hotel was never
built, and the question is whesier a con-
tract was made which is binding upon the
defendants, or whether the paiestifF agreed
to make the plans for nothirs. Several
witnesses were examined for tie plaintiff
and the case was continued unt.l Monday.
