W ind and Weather.

Whether the prophets gave warning
or not there has been considerable
wind lately outside the halls of Con.
gress and the Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania. The wind to which we refer
was, according to newspaper report,
not confined to any particular latitude
or longitude, but blew pretty much
where it listed. OFF the coast of
Connecticut twelve lives were con-
signed to a watery grave by the sink
ing of three boats. The largest wreck
ing vessel in the country, the J. !.
Merritt, was also totally disabled.
She lies on the shoals with the sea
breaking over her and utterly ruined.
Down along the sea coast may be
found the cyclones wake extending
through Virginia, Alabama and Louis
lana, proving frightfully destructive in
many cases, not only blowing down
trees and telephone wires, fences, &C.,
but in some cases carrying houses and
their inmates away to destruction.
Reports from the west, as far as
Chicago, indicate great severity of the
gale in that direction also. There
snow accompanied, and it was the
ssverest that had fallen upon them in
years. AT Saint Louis the storm
lasted five hours and then ended in
a blizzard of sleet, rendering travelling
even by railroad next to impossible.
AT Omaha the mercury stood at zero.
The storm was general all over Neb-
raska, Iowa and the Dakotas. AT
Alpena, Michigan, the wind reached
a velocity of fifty miles an hour, and
snow falling to the depth Of five feet
made travel impossible and brought
all business to stand still.
Throughout Ohio the storm was
one of sleet, greatly impeding traffic
of all kinds. The footing was solid
mass of ice while the wind blew
gale. In Columbus the blizzard ragged
with fury. Street cars were stopped
because of sleet.
Nearer home reports, from Wilkes
Barre, indicate terrific gale through
the Wyoming Valley, the wind being
followed by hail and snow. At Ashley
the Methodist church was wrecked
about midnight. Druggist A. J. Col
born arose from his bed just about
this time to close the window shutters.
He had no sooner raised the window
than large piece Of timber from the
church roof, on the opposite side Of
the street, crashed through the win.
dow. 1t struck Colborn, knocking him
down and breaking his left leg in two
places. The timber landed on the
bed and broke it down. Mrs. Colborn
sustained a shock from the fright.
An entire tow Of coal, consisting
OF IS boats, was lost in the lower
Ohio during the storm. The accident
happened near Hickman, KY. The
loss is about $40, 900 insured.

OORNERING THE GOVERNMENT.

Business being some what dull and
capital being in search of secure in
vestment, it is deemed prudent to cor
ner the finances of the Government,
and by managing to deplete the gold
reserve in the Treasury they may eas-i
ly force an issue of bonds from Uncle
Sam. Its capital that knows how to
make times bright for capital, and
how to find good investment for its
spare change, even though Uncle
Sam has to stand the rub and shave.
Just now they claim, perhaps truth
fully enough, to have cornered the
Government in such a way that a
speedy issue of bonds, and just such
as capitalists will buy readily, is un,
ayoidable. We quote from the seat
of Government in this connection.
5" The heavy attack on the gold re.
serve at New York to day, which
brought it down to $56,757,SsS, was
the chief topic at the Cabinet meeting
and in conversation in Congress, bring
ing as it did the question of protecting
the Treasury sharply before the Ad
ministration and Congress.
"Not only was it discussed formally
by the Cabinet, but Secretary Carlisle
and other members of the Cabinet re
mained in council with the President
after the Cabinet meeting. 1t is un
derstood that it was decided to make
the special appeal deemed necessary
to Congress for legislation to relieve
the Treasury before issuing any more
bonds. If this appeal, with the issu
of S per cent. bonds imminent, shoulc
be ineffective, then the bonds are Z,
be used. 1t is supposed that thi
special effort will be made, in part, a
least, in communication to Congress
setting forth several alternative meth
DDS OF relieving the Treasury by som
simple measure.
"The President is expected to ad
init that no general currency legisls
ton, however desirable, is now pract
cable, and to appeal for authority t
issue more advantageous bonds tha
those authorized by the resumptio
act or Treasury certificates or exche
uer bills or other interest-bearing oil

1t is much to be hoped that the
Treasury Department of this Govern
ment may yet be able to worry along
without consulting the money power
in every species of financial legislation
attempted. ForS any government to
be at the mercy of this power is a
very pitiable condition indeed and
were the interests of the masses in.
stead of the classes considered such
tightened financial affairs would not
be apt to occur. Laws are passed to
suit capitalists in the first place and
then they reserve to themselves the
great privilege of squeezing as much
more out as they can by cornering
the government, as it were.

a greater extent than. the men of today.
individuals deal in their private transac-
adult lives. But municipality should pro-
vide IN every department Of public I'M
provement, which Is at all permanent In
it's nature for at least half century in
advance. No street, sewer, or water sys-
tenn is an affair of the present only. Such
needs are too crushing in their magnitude
to rest for their qualification upon the
narrow shoulders of one generation of men.
Even were our present revenue sufhcient
for the purpose, it would be unjust to
charge this whole burden upon us. But
our revenue Is not sufficient for the pur-
pose. AS has been shown, this comprehen-
sive system of improvements must be ex-
ecuted as a whole and not IN piecemeal.
We must at the outset have this whole
sum of $500, 900. Even We're 1t practicable
to carry out this plan bit by Bit your sug-
gestion as to the source of money supply
fails One ground Of objection which you
urge to the whole plan is that to pay the
annual charges therefrom will overtax an
annual revenue already unduly burdened.
You say that even now we are "cramped in
our current expenditures" You insist that
the assessments should be increased, so
that real estate shall be listed at its true
value. Now, this is not the place to dis
cuss the proper method Of assessing real
estate for the purposes Of taxation. Wheth-
er you have fixed rate Of annual taxation
and an assessment graduated according
to the probable current needs Of the COM
1nunity or Gas would seem better) fixed
standard of assessment and a similarly
graduated rate of taxation, in either case
YOU cannot tax real estate beyond the limit
which it will bear without resenting It,
Tax it too much and at once house rents
become too high and population goes else
where.
We do not think that conservative citi-
zens are of opinion that local real estate
can now be safely taxed much If any, be-
yond it's present rate The annual income
from this rate has proved sufficient to
meet our current expenses-expenses which
are properly chargeable each year wholly
upon the United States and upon ourselves.
We agree with you that this money should
all be used for our current needs. No child
in this District should be deprived OF Its
whole day at school. The Injuries of edu-
cation should not at public expense be fur
nished to some while its rudiments are de-
MED to others. Members of Congress,
whose children, with the children of many
of their constituents temporarily here at
tend our public schools, should not pare
down the school estimates. Children should
be taught in these schools that "a default
on the interest of a bondholder's bond" is
a breach Of contract, Just as failure to
Day a stipulated days wage to labor is
also a breach Of contract and they should
be further taught that while our social Or
sanization did not grow out of contract,
yet it rests upon the law that enforces con-
tracts and would perish without that law.
Our annual revenue is enough to supply

ported by borrowed capital. That you
should put yourselves upon record as op-
posing public loans in general is to us IN
comprehensive. That you should, In par
ticular, resist the effort to make your
homes healthier, and your city more pros
porous because more healthy, when the
success of that effort will directly give
you that work which you need, persuades
us that you have been misinformed or mis-
guided. We ask you to study these ques-
lions carefully yourselves and to exercise
your own individual judgments about them.
We believe that you will then unite with
us in urging upon Congress the immediate
adoption of this measure, so necessary to
the health and continued progress OF our
national capital, already the most beautiful
in the world

FOUND A PETRIFIED BODY.
Philadelphia Workmen Make an As
tOnishfng Discovery.

A petrified body was exhumed on Monday
by workmen engaged in removing the bod
les from the old Machpelah cemetery, at
10th street and Washington avenue, Phila-
delphia. The body, which is that Of a man.
is in perfect state of preservation.
The body was discovered by a gang OF
men working in the southeast section OF
the cemetery, and its associations are such
as to warrant excitement In the scientific
world. Although four bodies were taken
from the same grave, two were totally de-
cayed, the third partially preserved,
while the fourth was In state or perfect
preservation , =. Z.
The body was incased In an oId-fashioned
walnut coffin, which was also Well pre-
served When the lid was removed the
workmen were surprised to find the occu-
pant fully preserved and having the APP
pearance of a person bat recently inferred.
Its a petrfied body" said one OF tho
workmen Superintendent Franklin was
notified, and ordered the body placed in the
vault.
The body seemed to be that OF man
about forty or forty-five years old. Ap-
parently he was Frenchman, and rs near
as could be Appropriated he has been In
the grave about fifty years. There We're
no visible signs OF dec composition, tne oooy
appearing to be preserved in every part.
One of the workmen, In the presence OK
several spectators yesterday, knocked on
the dead mans breast and there was given
out a sound such as is produced by ploW
on a piece Of stone.
The body was enveloped In white me-
rino shroud, while the hands were incased
in white cotton gloves. Aside from the dirt
spots caused by the earth falling on II
when the coffin was opened the shroud was
pure and white and perfectly preserved.
The head of the body was, however, the
most astonishing feature Of the phenomess
non. The face, which was round and
smooth, was perfect; the eyes being open,
while the mouth dropped just little. Over
the scalp was a full growth Of brown hair.
The arms and hands, which were crossed
below the waist, were also perfectly pre-
served In fact, the body appeared to
have Just been placed in the ground.
