Her View OF II,

A certain Boston gentleman, who has
for many years been identified with Bar
Harbor, and who dearly loves a good
story, relates one which seems an excel
lent specimen of genuine Yankee wit
unconscious and droll. In the early sea
son it was discovered that the chimney
of one of the hotels was ON fire, and the
proprietor, q native of the village,
climbed to the roof aud succeeded In
subduing the flames. In his efforts he
slipped and fell. Fortunately he had
just been preparing the ground for q
garden, and he landed In a nice soft
spot, breaking no bones, but shaking
himself up considerably, as he is past
his youth. He was picked up insensi-
BILE, and when he recovered his only
fear was that he had disturbed some of
his guests. He was confined to his room
for some time, and the Boston gentle
man referred to, who owns the hotel
property, called to see the old gentleman
and congratulate him upon his narrow
escape from serious injury. His wife
was in attendance on the invalid, and
after the accident had been discussed,
both taking o decidedly doleful view OF
the case. their caller tried to cheer then
up by speaking of the prospects for =
busy season.
81 shouldn't wonder, said he, sit
we had TO build new wing to tn,
hotel "
"Well, I" said the proprietor's wife,
II amt interested in q new wing fol
the house. I'm thinking how near he
came to having two new wings. Boa

and passenger and freights are re-
ported blocked all along all lines.
The storm prevails throughout the en-
tire state. Many cattle will perish.

A, FURIOUS /: BLIZZARD.
THE WORST SNOW STORM FOR
MANY YEARS.
The Entire West Enswathed In the
Beautiful-A Foot and Half Deep at
Kansas City-Railroad Traffic Almost
Paralyzed.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. l2.-The
worst blizzard ever known in this city
visited the town yesterday. A fierce
wind from the north blew all day and
about II o'clock yesterday morning a
driving snow storm set in which lasted
all day and night. This morning
there was foot and half of snow on
the ground, which is a record breaker
for this city. Street railway traffic is
greatly impeded, and entirely sus-
pended on some lines, Dispatches
from points contiguous to Kansas City
indicate that the snow was quite gen.
eral.
The railroads were all demoralized
by the storm. No storm since that of
January, 1879, the winter the Union
depot was completed, has so complete
ly snowbound that place as that of
yesterday. Trains were blocked in,
unable to move out of the depot and
incoming trains from all directions
were reported snowbound early in the
evening, and yet at midnight they
had not been able to reach the Union
depot.

PARIS, Feb. 12.-The following de-
tails of the defeat of French troops at
Timbuctoo are given out by the gov
eminent: The Tuareges, Captain
Philippe reports, were armed
with lances and knives, which
they used with terrible effect
against the French native troops.
They made the first attack in the
early morning upon the leading por-
ton of the French column, which
seems to have been in two divisions.
The attack was so desperate and we'll
sustained that the first division was,
apparently, cut to pieces. The news
of the disaster was brought to the
second portion of the column
by Captain Nugette, who, bad

rear guard at once ordered his force
under arms, abandoned his encamp-

Timbuctoo, leaving the unfortunate
vanguard, commanded by Colonel
BONNER, to its fate.
Reports are conflicting as to the
member killed, but the official state.
ment admits that at least nine French
officers, including Colonel BONNER,
two European non-commissioned Of
ticers and sixty-eight native soldiers
were massacred. Unofficial reports,
emanating from the war department
and colonial Office, say the loss in

FOR FREE SILVER COINAGE.
Another Fight for 1t to BE Made Shortly
by Mr.. Bland.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The strength
developed by Mr.. BANDS silver seig-
niorage bill leads to the belief that
another movement will be made for
unlimited silver coinage as a sequence
of the passage of the silver seignior-
age bill.
Mr.. Bland introduced bill "for the
free coinage of standard silver dol
lars" and it went to the coinage COM
mittee and was about to be discussed
when Mr.. Bland asked that it be tenn
porarily laid aside in order that the
seigniorage bill might first be acted
on. AS to the measure Mr.. Bland said
to-day: 1T has been put aside for
the present but will probably be taken
up later. No definite plans have yet
been made, but it is evident that many
members want the opportunity again
of voting on the free silver question"

BUENos AYREs, Feb. 10.-According
to dispatches received here to-day the
decision of President Peixoto of Brazil
toissue decree calling for presi-
dental election as well as for an
election for members of congress on
March l, was only reached after the
president had been badly frightened
by the discovery of a plot to murder
him, among people high in station,
including several officers in the gov
eminent navy.
AS soon as the plot was discovered
the police were instructed to arrest
the ringleaders, which was promptly
done. The trial of the conspirators
followed closely upon the arrest and
there being in the opinion of the court
martial no doubt nthat they were
guilty, they were sentenced TO
death. The next morning those con-
victed were taken to an unfreQuented
spot outside the line of Notifications
and were shot while kneeling at the
foot of freshly dug graves. After the
fatal volley the bodies were hastily
placed in the graves by the soldiers of
the firing party, the earth was shovel
ed upon them and the soldiers were
cautioned not to say word about the
affair, under the threat of being shot
if they did so.
The discovery Of the plot against
President Peixotos life, the arrest of
the conspirators, the court martial
and secret execution all seem to have
been kept from the ears of the gen
eral public. but the effect upon Peix-
OTTO is said to have been so great that
he signed the decree for the election.
In addition to the conspriators shot
the dispatch says that a number of
other implicated persons were SEN
fenced to long terms of Imprisonment
and those who had property were
notified that it had been confscated
Cor the use Of the government. Others
Gought refuge in fight and are now
on their way to England and the
United States.

EAT HORSES, DOGS AND CATS.
The Lower Glasses of Saxony Not at AL
Particular in Their Meat Diet.

WASHINGTON, Feb IL. james II.
Smith, commercial agent at Mayence,
has sent to the state department the
following statement of the meat diet
OF the lower classes in Saxony:
with regard to the diet of the
poorer classes of Saxony, it is note
worthy that, according to official pub
LEGATIONS now at hand, 4,277 horses
were slaughtered in Saxony last year;
that is 359 more than in 1891. Of
dogs, according to official statement,
there were 422 butchered, thereby,
however, is apparently meant only
the number of those killed in
slaughter houses, for the number of
dogs actHately slaughtered must be
considerably larger, when there is
such comparatively large consump-
ton of dog flesh by the poorer classes
of the people. Even cat flesh is not
disclaimer by many persons and bad
gers, foxes, sparrows and crows are
eaten"

Congress May BE Called Upon to Define

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-There is a
movement in the house to urge upon
the Judiciary committee an investiga-
ton of the management of railroads
under receivers appointed by the
federal courts. So many complica-
lions have arisen lately as the system
of receivership control has spread,
that the matter has been brought be-
fore the committee in several of its
phases.
An influence which tends to restrain
the committee on judiciary from re-
viewing the actions of the courts I'M
necessarily is that the judiciary is a
coordinate branch of the government.
Its members hesitate to take any ac-
ton which might look like interior
ence by one branch of the govern
ment with the functions of another.
