IN 4 STORM OF LIGHT.
The Ice Palace at Ottawa Attacked by Mer-
 " Sportsmen.

The Ice Palace at Ottawa Attacked by Mer- ry Sportsmen.
 tFrom the Montreal Witness.l
 The summit of magnifcenee was
 reached in the Ottawa carnival last
 night in the storming of the Ice castle.
 Full advantage was taken of the form
 ation of the ground about the castle
 and it is doubtful if a position better
 suited for the purpose of the merry
 war could be found. The attacking
 party, comprising brigades of snow
 shoes supported by the field
 battery, advanced across the ice
 covered river bearing torches and
 large quantities of fireworks The de- fense consisted of the large guns upon
 Nepean point, just in front of the ice
 castle, a battalion of infantry and the party occupying the castle itself.
 The snowshoers' advance was guided
 by a large search-light directed from
 the tower of the parliament buildings
 It is estimated that forty thousand peo- pie witnessed the sight. When the snowshoers having removed their shoes
 OGShll lO SIdlC lilE IltiL Qy IlEdIlS Ol ropes and ladders, the rattle of muS ketry was added to the crashing booms of the batteries. The fire of rockets and Roman candles from the snowshoes and the fiaring firework displays from the castle fairly filled the air with sparks and streams of fire. The snow shoe brigade reformed at the top of the cliff and made final rush upon the. castle amid myriad sparks and blazing lights. The blowing up and burning of the castle was very realistic Then all the lights went out at once and some beautiful prismatic illuminations form ed the finale A snowshoers' parade in the streets and the illuminatio of the whole city followed.
 Every possible spot from which a view of the sights could be seen was literally packed with people. The estf- mated number of visitors in the city was ten thousand. The grand allegori- l cal parade in the afternoon was g de- cfded success. About one hundred cars divided into eight sections made up the | show. The variety was infinite A vast | amount of pains has been taken in the | of exhibits The Eddy | car carried band and the | employees all wore paper clothes and | paper hats. Eight members of the Ot- | tawa Bicycle club mounted on bicycles | drew toboggan on which Father Time | was seated, The Mackay Milling com pany showed flour barrel twenty feet | in length in connection with their ex- hibit, The athletic and snowshoe clubs made very pleasing displays and an, other noticeable exhibition was a hutch CT shop drawn by two yoke of oxen.

A Wonderful Task.

Jules Curzon, a Polish mechanic, who
 was presented with a gold medal for
 his inventions, performed 8 most extra
 ordinary thing when he succeeded in
 manufacturing a complete watch in the space of eight hours, and from mater
 ials on which any other watchmaker would have looked contemptuously, It appears that the czar of Russia, hear ing of the marvellous inventive genius of Curzon, determined to put him to the test, and forwarded him a box con taining few copper nails, some wood clippings, piece of broken glass, an old cracked China cup, some wire, and a few cribbage-board pegs, with a re- quest that he should transform them into a timepiece. Nothing daunted, and perceiving a golden opportunity for winning favor at the court Curzon set about his task with enthusiasm, and in the almost incredibly short space of eight hours had despatched a wonder fully constructed watch to the czar. who was so surprised and delighted at the work that he sent for the maker and conferred upon him several dis functions, as well as granting him a pension. The case of the watch was made of china, while the works were simply composed of the odds and ends accompanying the old cup. Not only did it keep good time, but only required winding once in every three or four days. This remarkable watch is believ- ed to be still in the possession of the Russian royal family.-Househol Words.

Nearly one-Half of the Business Transacted
 Was in Sugar.

Was in Sugar. New York, Feb 13.--The stock market was dull to-day. Nearly one half of the business transacted was in Sugar, Amer ican Tobacco and Chicago and North western. Speculation was somewhat | feverish, but in majority of instances the fluctuations were slight and final quotations were practically unchanged from those of yesterday. Generally | speaking the market opened firm and 1s to E per cent. higher, partly on account of moderate improvement in London. Later there was a decline of 1s to IS per cent, the latter in Chicago Gas, which sold down to 7S1s. Whiskey and Sugar were also heavy, the former touching Sss and the latter 9OB. The market closed steady at slight recov- cry.
 There were sharp changes in a few of the specialties. American Tobacco broke 5A to STA, rallied to S9A, and finally reacted to STA, The preferred after rising to 107 broke to 105 The selling was due to the decision recently down by Chancellor McGill of New Jersey, and also to reports that the company would make bad showing at the annual meeting, Northwest pre- ferred dropped 3 to 13S, Wells, Fargo Express 4 to 104, Erie Telephone 4 to 451s and United States Rubber 1A to 411s. The. uncertainty in regard to leg islation on the finances still holds busi ness in check, and the room traders have the market practically to them- selves.
 The bond market was extremely dull and lower. Sales were $3SS, 900.
 Following are the closing prices re- ported by Prince & Whitely, bankers and brokers, 46 Broadway, New York, and 15 Center street, New Haven:

THE NEW WOMAN.

She Got the Cane, Was Happy, Sad and
 Then Overcome.
 TFrom the Philadelphia Enquirerl
 She was g new woman. She was dreadfully and radically new. She wore overcoats, not cloaks; hats, not bon nets; and, lastly, mems shirts. She was so new that she came very near being a man, so far as attire went. And still she was not satisfied Finding the com nunity had tolerated her innovations so far as they had gone, she decided to cross the Rubicon. She would wear a cane. With all the swing and brava- do of man about town, she paraded the corner devoted to these props of mans dignity and demanded a heavy silver-decorated stick such as the prom enaders alone dare venture. She bought it, paid for it. marched out with a dis regard that was as absolute as a troll ley mans disregard of life, Rather than being ashamed, she gloried in the tum- ut that ragged in the male breasts about her It was inspiring to see their won der their admiration, yelled though it was by scornful glances and ever wid- ening smiles If she had only known how to carry it much misery might have been saved, but her astonishing

Fast Driving.

Fast and reckless driving is permit
ted on the principal thoroughfares of
Wilkcs-Barre to probably a greater ex-
tent than in any other city in Pennsyl-
vania. River street is the favorite rae
ing course of the owners of lively
steppers, and on almost any pleasant
evening from two to half a dozen turn
outs may be seen there dashing along
at full speed. On Wednesday evening
an accident occurred as the result of
this racing which should impel the
mayor to put a stop to 1t. Two young
men We're speeding their horses down
River street and when reaching Acad-
emy street one of them dashed head
long into a milk wagon. The latter
proved to be the more formidable vehicle
and the light wagon of the racer was
wrecked. The young driver was thrown
out but fortunately not seriously in
jured. The mayor should give his
policemen peremptory orders to arrest
all reckless drivers within the city
limits. A single arrest would doubt
less prove sufficient to break up the per-
nicious practice and prevent serious if
not fatal accidents.

Pittston and Wilkes-Barre have con-
tested game.
City in Swamp.
The main street, East Side, is in q
deplorable and almost impossible con-
dition. Traffic was delayed nearly all
day yesterday. Had the street been
regularly opened where the alley now
is in the rear of business houses located
on the east side of Main street, the
present trouble would have been avert
ed. With no intention to censure the
sewer contractors we are positive that
some arrangement might have been
made whereby the large amount of
earth which has been removed from the
trenches may have been taken care of
in a manner that would not have been
such nuisance to the travelling public.
Serious Mine Accident.
A serious accident occurred at the
Twin shaft at noon yesterday. A fall
of rock struck a miner Max Lauzef, on
the head and face, breaking his nose
and almost severing his lower lip. He
is at the hospital suffering from his
wounds and congestion of the brain
