Blizzard Terrific in the South

Blizzard Terrific in the South
west-Destitute Suffer.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 6.-Blinding
snow and sand storms and a rapidly
falling temperature have combined
within the last twenty-four hours to
| create the worst blizzard that has
prevailed in the Southwest in years.
The weather began to grow colder
this morning, and each hour since
then has marked a steady decline in
the mercury. The local weather
officials predict the cold wave will
reach it's height tomorrow morning,
when Is degrees below zero will like
ly be reported. At this morning
the thermometer registered "a above
zero. 1t rapidly fell, and at 10 p. m.
was about zero, and still on the de-
cline. A like fall is noted through
out the Southwest, particularly in
Western Kansas, where so much suf-
fering already exists. In some places
the cold is so intense that outdoor
business has been suspended.
A northwest wind, amounting to
almost a gale, is drifting the snow
! badly, and causing damage to tele-
graph wires and street car traffic.
The Union Pacific system is prac-
tically showed up, and all trains
are late. In the country the storm
sweeps across the prairie and open
fields with resistless force. At Sa-
lima, Sterling and other Kansas
points the sand is blown about in
dense clouds. The mercury is al
ready down to and below zero.
1t is estimated that 800 families in
the four Kansas counties of Raw
Inns, Cheyenne, Sherman and Thorn
as are without fuel A majority of
the farmers are scantily clothed,
and, while the sod houses in which
most of them live are warm, the
storm, if long continued, will cause
great suffering. Fodder is scarce,
and consequent loss to cattle must
follow Measures of relief adopted
by the Legislature will be put into
effect Immediately.
ST. JOE, Mo-, Feb. 6-The ther-
mometer hovered from 8 above to 1
below zero all day, and high gale
drove the snow into drifts. Busi-
ness is almost entirely suspended
here. Trains are from one to six
hours late, and some abandoned. Not
a wheel is moving on the Union Pa
cific. The West-bound passenger is
showed in at IFairbury, and the
east-bound between Marysville and
Hanover. No trains will be sent out
on that line tonight
LEBANON, Kas., Feb. 6.-The
worst sand storm ever known here
commenced about o'clock this
morning. 1t has not abated at 10
p. m. All trains are blocked, there
being five feet of sand on the tracks.
SIOUX CITY, To-, Feb. 6.-The
blizzard here is increasing, and the
weather is growing colder tonight.
Specials to the Journal from points
in South Dakota and Northwestern
Iowa show that the severe storm is
general. Trains are delayed. A
forty-mile gale is blowing.
DUBUQUE, To-, Feb. Ga heavy
snow, accompanied by high wind,
prevailed all day, seriously inter-
fering with railway business. The
weather is intensely cold tonight.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1895-02-07

no time in the memory of the oldest
inha bitant has the cold been so in
tense. For three days past the ther-
mometers in the heart of the city
have been in the neighborhood of Is
degrees below zero.
CLEARFIELD, Pa, Feb. 6.-At 8
o'clock the thermometer registered
20 below. At Riverview, Leonard,
Barrett and other small towns in
the vicinity of Clearfield the ther
mometer registered 20 to 25 below.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6. - The
thermometer in the weather bureau
registered degrees below at Z
o'clock this morning, the coldest
weather experienced in this city for
fifteen years. On Dec. 80, 1880, the
mercury reached below, and on
Jan. 16, 1898, the zero mark was
touched.

Erwin Tries His Hand at Brow
beating the Witness.
The cross-eXamination of Claus
Bixt was resumed by Mr.. Erwin yes
terday morning. and before a dozen
questions had been asked the court
had to call the attorney off. The
trouble arose over the discussion of a
memorandum book which Erwin asked
the witness if he carried. BliXt said
he had such a book.
II thought you had something to
lead up on" said Erwin savagely.
"Now notice that you have constantly
altered and elaborated your story to
suit the taste Of public clamor---''
''I object" interposed Mr. Nye.
"Objection sustained" said Judge
Smith. "Mr. Erwin you have no right
to make such remarks, and hereafter
you will make no allusion to the char
acter of the Witness
But the rebuke of the court did not
deter the prisoners attorney from go
ing at him hammer and tongs in almost
the next breath. He lost patience with
the witness who persisted in wanting
to explain instead of answering the
questions put to him direct.
Blixt finally said he wanted to ex-
plain about the whisky. go on and
explain then" said Erwin greatly ex-
asperated, that's what 1 want you to
do, you've babbled long enough. What
time was that whisky brought?"
BliXt got mixed and the attorney
cried:
II appeal to the court to make him
answer my question. He sees that he
has told different story
BliXt's face flushed and leaning for
ward he pointed his fCger at MI Erwin

c. A. Anderson, lived with them part
of the time. He slept there, and fired
up the furnace from a. m. until Z.
Did you know Harry Hayward?' %
Eyes, sir. l have seen him frequent
ly. He was in the basement a great
deal talking with BliXt alone. They
were together for hours at q time be-
fore the night of the murder"
For how long a time before?'
about three or four weeks"

conversing about six o'clock. She saw
Harry that evening after that. tine
BliXt put on his coat and cap and left

clothes he had on in court. He re-
turned about eleven o'clock, and went
to bed. She noticed that he had been
drinking something.
Did you see Harry?''
Eyes, sir. He came down and asked
Where's the boss? 1 said, He's just

a great hurry. 1 next saw Harry
l.
He came right into our bedroom, He
hollered and asked if BliXt was asleep.
When he came in he went to the
water meter and asked Blixt if he
knew the water meter leaked. Then
he Strengthened up and looked at
Blixt. Blixt told him that my brother
had come in and told him that the girl
on the fifth floor had gone out and got
hurt. Harry said: What! did she get
hurt very bad?' Then he went out. He
said he would go up and see.' 1 saw
him again about three or four O'Clock
in the morning. He came down again
and hollered, and asked if Blixt vas
asleep. Blixt answered drowSily.
No Then he said: You kn5sS,
