ATLANTA (Ga.), Feb. 15-The worst
snowstorm in the memory of the present
generation is now prevailing throughout
Georgia. In Atlanta it has fallen heavily
since early morning, and the ground is
covered with five inches of snow on four
inches of the frozen remains OF Sunday
nights storm. The trolley-car system is
paralyzed and practically no business is
being transacted. The streets are given
over to improvised sleighs and merry
snowballing parties enjoying the unac-
customed sport.
AT Darien, on the coast, the ground is
covered with snow four inches deep.
This is the first time in the history of this
ancient town that such a thing has hap
pened. Twenty years ago there was a
fall of snow, but it was gone in two
hours. There has never been such a spell
OF weather as has been experienced for
the last few weeks. All the orange trees
and early vegetables are killed.
brownsville, the famous winter resort
had three-inch fall of snow last night,
and sleigh bells are ringing in the streets
Tor tho hrSt time in the history of the
city.
At Quitman the first snow that has
fallen since 1870 fell last night. II began
at Z O'Clock and continued for two hours,
about three and one-half inches falling.
Inc situation is a novel one to QuItman,
and business is suspended, while every
body IS enjoying snow balling.
at buchanan the snow and sleet has
stopped all sawmills, coaling and other
public works in the county. Farmers
are behind with their work and every

From IeNarkana TO the south of the Rio
GranGe, and from New Mexico to Sabine
Pass, the whole surface of the State was
robed IN white. These lines are, generally
speaking, 600 miles in length. A most
singular fact is that the deepest snow fell
IN the Cult counties. There was fourteen
inches at Galveston and twelve inches in
Goliad, while in North Texas five inches
was the average.

had had it drawn up. Mrs. Barron said
her husband had never been under the

Fight OF Administration Democrats
Believed to BE at an End.
WAsuIN NGToN, Feb. 15.-There seems to
be little doubt that yesterdays fight was
the final rally in the campaign of the Ad-
ministration Democrats for financial
legislation in this Congress. Members
who are supposed to know the mind of
the President say that he recognizes that
1t is futile to attempt to secure any sort of
legislation for the Treasury, and they as
sert that he Will not again recommend
Congressional action Of any sort upon the
finances. These Democrats are disposed
TO put upon the Republicans the blame
for failure OF the resolution reported by
the Ways and Means Committee. For
their part many Republicans who Satur-
day would not have opposed the gold
provision in a bond issue, had the propo-
sitIon been unincumbered by other
factors, explain their negative votes by
saying that they could not assent to a
contract made with private parties for
taking tho bonds, when they believed
the issue could have been advantageously
disposed of by public competition in this
country.
