be so gathered. The weather, in its
severity. in the protracted period Of its
stay, in the wide territory in Georgia
and all over the South which Ii has
affected, Is almost unprecedented. The
striking feature has been the great snow
storms that have whtened all the South
ern States, including the furthermost
limits In Florida. Louisiana, and Texas.
In the last-named State. according 10 the
almost Incredible reports. the snow on
the level in some localities was ten or
twelve inches deep. with drifts where
the snow was over ten feet deep. That
was in the extreme southern portion OF
the State. The chronicles show that
Georgia has, from her early history,
had her cold winters and her snow
storms, but we feel sure. Just In the
midst Of this cool spell. that in mercurial
depression and heavy snow-storms and
depth OF snow the winter OF lS94-s5 will

The orchestra was represented by TWEEN

The strings are especially good. but last
night much Of the effect was marred
through the indifferent performance Of

FINE AUDIENCES GREET MANTELL
Corsicnp Brothers Well Presented
Last Night.

Robert Mantell gave two interesting
performances at the Academy yesterday.

OF the drama is hardly what IT could and
should Mr. Mantell Is happily suited with
the part OF Raphael Duchatlet. His style
seems considerably broadened-in other
words. bettered. He plays now with a
firner grip and greater intensity than he
did in the old days.
In the evening Mr.. Mantell and his com
pany were seen 10 advantage in Dumas

custom stale the infinite charm OF this
powerful drama OF vengeance repaid
Played by Mr. Manteil with a dignity

Is too often now a stranger, nni with
plenty of picturesqueness OF fervor by
his company, 1t evoked considerable en-
thusiasm. Special mention should be made
Of the grace and tenderness OF Charlotte
Befrens, and Of the baleful power OF
Albert Bruning, whose Chateau kenaud
Is an excellent piece OF work. The CEN
trial figure and situations are as strong
as ever, and wear the same aspect OF
novelty as they did when seen for the first
time. For the rest. Mr.. Mantell fas been
able, as Faben and Louis del Franchl,

THE FLOORING GAVE WAY.
4 Terrible scare at the Womnn's
GnlIene Inst Might.

The entertainment at the Woman's COX
lege, on Tenth street between Marshall
ami Clay last night had a rather alarm
ing but fortunately not serious conclu-
sion.
When the evenings programme had
ended there was the usual rush toward
the front that the spectators might com.
mingle with the young ladies IN the usual
conversation, when the flooring gave way
about the middle OF the large assembly
hall. and intense excitement prevailed for
a moment.
The chapel was packed to its utmost
capacity. and the sudden cOmmotiOn
caused the Orders underneath to break,
lowering the floor at that point several
inches. and greatly frightening the con-
course OF young people.
DR. Nelson. president Of the college. az
once realized what had happened. and
ordered that the han be cleared as quiet
ly and orderly as possible. This was
done. and the usual half hour OF CONVEX
satiOn between the young ladies and their
invited friends present was abandoned.
No one was hurt. but II was miraculous
that the accident was so inconsequentIal
