THE FIRST BLIZZARD.
Railway Traffic and Telegraph Serv-
ice in the State was De-
mOralized.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 26.-The first
blizzard of the season arrived on schedule
time and Milwaukee and apparently a
large section of the state find themselves
showed under. In the city last night the
street car service was demoralized, but
cars were kept running, without regard
to schedule time, ala night so as to keep
the lines open. Belated pedestrians found
it hard work to make Roadway against
the wet snow and strong northwest wind.
Telegraph and telephone wires were rem
dered useless and after midnight Milwau,
kee was shut off from all connection
with the outside world. At clock the
last Western Union wires to Chicago
were down. The Postal wires had sue,
cumbed earlier and the long distance tele-
phone wires were no longer working. The
railroad trains were all late.
Navigation was entirely suspended.
None of the regular passenger boats went
out last night ard some of the boats
which did leave here yesterday afternoon
turned back and sought shelter in the
harbor.
The storm is general throughout the
Northwest, and late last night it was
fiercest south of Milwaukee. At Chicago
sleet and hail fell and this did even more
damage to wires than the snow in Wis

HEAD-END COLLISION.
Trains Come Together on the ST.
Paul's Prairie du Chen
Division.

A head-end collision occurred last
night between st. Paul passenger train
and freight, on the Prairie du Chen
division, near Stoughton. A most Sc
rious accident was fortunately averted
by the watchfulness of an engineer and
the fact that the collision occurred on
straight piece Of track. Two men were
hurt but not dangerously.
At midnight passenger train No. z,
which runs through from Prairie du
Chen to Milwaukee, ran into freight
train. No. Il, going west. The collision
was the result of the failure of an oper>
ator to deliver orders to the passenger
crew to remain at StOughtOn until the
freight passed The passenger train
consequently pulled out as usual and met
the freight a short distance east OF
Stoughton. The engineers saw each
others train approaching at some dis
lance, as the track was perfectly straight
there, and by the time the locomotives
came together they had both slowed
down to a rate of a few miles an hour
The collision was consequently light
and it was reported at the ofhce or AS
sistant General Superintendent Under
wood that no one was seriously injured.
Later it was learned that Mail Agent
T.. B. Murphy of Milwaukee, and En-
gineer Campbell, also of this city, re-
ceived injuries, although not serious
Murphy was knocked about in his car
and received several cuts and bruises,
but it is stated that his injuries are in
no way serious: He is now now at N Madison n;aaen
Campbell wrenched his back in jumping
from the engine cab, but he is not
thought to have been badly hurt. With
these exceptions, it is believed, no one
was injured, although the passengers
were considerably shaken up and badly
frightened Railway officials regard it
as a most narrow escape from serious ac>
cident and loss of life.
A light engine eastbound on the North
ern division of the St. Paul railway
collided at 1920 o'clock this morning
with switch engine at the limekiln
track, three miles east of Mayville. Both
engines were slightly wrecked and Con-
ductor O'Neil of this city, who was on
the light engine, had his ankle crushed.
The wreck was soon cleared up. The
cause is supposed to have been mis-
understanding of the running orders
and the fact that at the point where the
collision occurred there are steep bluffs
which limit the range of vision.

PINE CASES DISMISSED.
Statute of Limitations Successfully
Pleaded at Madi-

Madison, Wis, Nov. 27.-Judge Ro-
manzo Bum of the United States court
for the Western district of Wisconsin
yesterday afternoon granted he motion
for the discharge of the defendants in
the celebrated Omaha land cases and or
dered that verdict be entered in favor
Of all of the defendants, the statute of
limitations having been successfully
pleaded. This marks the close of one
of the most important and interesting
cases with which Wisconsin court
has had to deal in recent years. Some
of the defendants are well-knoWn North
ern Wisconsin people and have long beeId
prominent figures in politics in that part
of the state. Robert G. Heydlauff was
receiver of the land Office at Ashland
under President Harrison. Warren e.
McCord is a brother of eX-Congressman
McCord and wealthy lumberman and
banker. Mrs. Gussie L. Andrews pri-
vate secretary to McCord, Arthur r.
Osborne, an Ashland real estate man,
and Henry j. Box and Richard Broder-
lex were the defendants. They were in
dicted by the federal grand jury in the
fall of 1894.
There was in all thirty-five indictments,
in most Of which Heydlauff, Osborne,
McCord and Box appeared as defendants,
together with others, who it was alleged
acted as their agents. Each Indictment
contained two counts, the first charging
conspiracy to commit perjury in making
necessary afidavits at the land office.
The first Indictment charged that Broder-
lex acted as the agent of McCord, Heyd-
lauff, Osborne and Box in making home

of speculation, the lands being covered
with valuable pine timber.

PETER M'GEOCH DEAD.
nits Suicide Domestic
Troubles the Cause.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 28.-Peter Nc
Geoch. whose name was known in every
grain market in the world, and who had
stood the strain of a hundred trying
speculations. including the most famous
of lard deals, killed himself at IL o'clock
Yesterday. The deed was premeditated.
Peter McGeoch was one of the most
daring SPECTATORS that ever operated
in the West. and his great lard deal i'll
1883 made him famous, although it was
a failure and cost him a million dollars.
He had run corners before and had
made money for himself and his friends,
and he made a settlement which left him
with enough money to form basis tor
the fortune which he now leaves.
He began his career by selling the
products of his fathers farm at Water
loo. III this state, as early as 1870, and SIX
years later he was hired as a buyer by
Nelson Van Kirk, at that time the larg-
est shipper of grain i'll the Northwest.
Ia q short time he was Van Kinks part
ner and shortly after the firm removed
to this city and branched out into the
packing business. McGeoch soon gained
the friendship of Alexander mitchell,
and securing his backing, rose to be
the biggest operator in Milwaukee He
met his first reverse in 1879, when he
undertook to corner the wheat market
Three years later Mr.. McGeoch tried an
other corner in wheat and succeeded.
His next venture was in pork, and he
came out of it a millionaire. Other
minor deals followed, and a wheat deal
in 1882, when there was much default
ing. netted the operator over S5OO,OOO.
The famous lard deal was one of the
greatest corners ever attempted. 1t was
in 1883. and it was worked through the
Chicago house of McGeOch, Everingham
& Co., of which Mr.. McGeoch was the
head. The books of the firm showed
that the operations began as early as
April. when a ''long' lard account known
as "a II was opened 1t was known
of Peter McGeoch and Daniel Wells,
Jr. 1t did not make any money. There
was not much demand for lard abroad
and ordinary prices did not help the
price much. By July Wells and Nc
Geoch had 100000 tierces of lard bought
and owned nearly 100000 tierces of the
cash property. A month before Nc
Geoch had attempted to throw out 3d.
600 tierces of Fowler's lard on the
ground that it was adulterated and a
lawsuit resulted which deprecated all
American lard and hurt the corner seri-
ously Tremendous efforts were made to
break the corner and on July is, after
McGeoch's funds had become exhausted,
and after lard had fallen in a single
night over So a fierce, he failed. lie
owed his unsecured creditors over 3d.
100000 and his secured about $500,
600. A panic among produce traders
followed that spread around the world.
There were q dozen failures at Chicago.
Produce fell in day % per cent. This
crash crippled hundreds of men and
firms In Milwaukee it was almost i'm

AN ORDINANCE RESURRECTED.
Kenosha State Commissioner Wants the
Walks Kept Clear.

Kenosha, Wis, Nov. 28.-[Special]-
This city will be stirred up tomorrow
morning in a manner that the recent
blizzard was unable to accomplish,
though indeed it is the result of the
storm. Like many other cities Kenosha
has an ordinance requiring snow to be
removed from sidewalks within twenty
four hours after its fall. 1t might just
as we'll have been left off the books, for
it has never been observed. But the
street commissioner has heard prophets
say that this is to be a winter of big
snow and he doesn't want things block
AIDED The ordinance has been resur-
rected and as a preliminary furry the
commissioner sWore out fifty warrants
against people who had neglected to
make their walks passable. The COM
missioner believes in starting at the top,
and therefore his warrants bear the
names of people whose names either ap-
pear at the top of the business directo-
ries or in the newspaper society columns
After he has these people educated the
commissioner will proceed against the
small fry Whether the commissioner
did not wish to disturb their turkey din
ners or because of legal objections is not
known but the warrants were not served
today.

PASHEK FOUND GUILTY.
Jury Returns a Verdict of Man
slaughter in the Second
Decree.

Racine, Wis, Nov. 26.-[Special. 1.-The
famous Pashek murder case, which has
occupied the attention of the courts here
for the past week and a half, was
brought to close last evening. The
jury was charged by the judge at 5:45
o'clock and retired to the chamber. 1t
was just 1920 when the foreman no
titled the court that the jury was ready
to report. The following verdict was
rendered.: s'Ne, the jury, find Wencil
Pashek guilty of manslaughter in the
second degree The penalty for the
crime is from four to seven years in
state prison. Attorney Heck for the
defendant Immediately made motion to
have the verdict set aside and order a
new trial. The motion will come up for
argument Thursday afternoon. The
verdict was unexpected and many resi-
dents who are acquainted with the facts
of the case are surprised.
The crime of which Wencil Pashek
has been convicted was committed on
September 20. Mr.. Pashek and his wife
had been in the city and started home.
On the way, and when within two miles
of the farm, it is alleged, they got to
Quarreling on account of Mrs. Pashek
drinking so much. Mr.. Pashek, it is
charged, pushed her from the buggy,
jumped on her, crushed her ribs and 9th
erwise injured her, and she died that
night Next day the inquest was held
and the facts were brought out and
the old man was arrested on the charge
of murder. At the preliminary exam
nation he was held to the circuit court
and bonds fixed at $4,000, which he
got and has been at liberty since. The
defense contended that the injuries were
received by the horse and wagon passing
across the body of Mrs. Pashek.
