MARTINSVILLE, Ind, Jan. 12.-There
has been heavy snow fall throughout this
county and it now measures about one foot.
Some snow fell early last night and later in
the night a dust storm came and covered
the snow Just SCOT does from coal smoke.
1t Is considered very strange as the dust
must have come from some remote distance,
since this entire section is covered. The
dust is on the snow for miles in any direc-
tion from this place Many think it must
have come from some State in the far West
where the blizzard is on with such terrific

there was heavy coating of dark-colored
snow on top of the hitherto pure, white
snow The people of this city would like
to have explanation of this strange

black dust fine sand has been carried
from the mountains or sand plains by the

A TEXAS SENSATION
CHARGES AGAINST CONGRESSMAN
ELECT MILES CROWLEY.
Alleged to Have Dropped a Bill when
Given n Pullman Pass-Status OF
the Tennessee Contest.

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. ia sensational
report was fired off in the State Senate to-
day in the shape of memorial from j.
w. Terry, of Galveston. The memorial
prefers charges against Senator Miles Crow
ley, from Galveston, who was recently
elected Congressman from the Tenth con-
gressional district to the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress. The charges are many, but the
most important are those accusing Crow
ley of blackmailing. 1t is charged that in
his capacity as Senator he threatened and,
in fact, did prepare a bill that would have
proven damaging to the interest of the
Pullman Palace Car Company and that he
introduced this bill for no other purpose
than to make the Pullman company give
him pass. In substantiation of this
charge the petition cites that while the bill
was in committee some member of the
Pullman company gave Crowley pass and,
this satisfying him, Crowley made no
further efforts to secure the passage
of the bin. 1t is charged. further, that sew
eral years ago, Crowley was approached
by two leading physicians of the State with
view of getting him to father a bill
through the Legislature in the interest of
the medical profession; that upon that oc
casion Crowley told the gentlemen to as
better deposit few hundred dollars, mas
much the members of the Legislature
were not mere Tor their nedltn. Inc me-
mortal recites number of other charges
of minor Importance that were rung in
Crowley during his recent campaign, among
which he is charged with being thief.
Terry desires that the Senate take action
in the matter, with the view of impeaching
Crowley. The matter was referred to
committee.
Crowley laughs at the charges, claiming
them to be mere political bosh. and neither
he his friends are anticipating any
further publicity to the matter and there
will doubtless not be, as the matter will,
in all probability, be smothered in the
committee room.
The Tennessee Middle.
NASHVILLE. Tenn. JAM 12.-The Legis-
iature has been in session six days, and
during these days the chief topic discussed
by law makers and the people has been the
gubernatorial situation. 1t came to the
front Immediately the assembling of
the Legislature and. at adjournment to-day,
was under discussion in the House. During
the week prominent Republicans and Dem
ocratic politicians and party leaders from
and have been assisting in arriving at a
solution of the question now before the
Legislature. Tonight there was very little
stir around the headquarters of either
party; all members who could reach thei.
homes by afternoon trains left the city.
This, with the bitter cold prevailing has
greatly diminished the usual crowds in the
hotel lobbaes where the politicians and
debate the constitutional questions in
yolved was resumed. Mr. Heiskell, of
Knoxville, was the leader of the Demos
cratic side in the contention that the ae-

TRIED TO BURN THE LAUNDRY.

Fire Bugs Came Near Destroying
wah Lee and His Shop.
Anattempt was made about 1:3O clock
lsat night by unknown fire bugs to burn the
Chinese laundry of Waa Lee, No. 4O1 A
street northeast. A large tin can was filled
with paper and other combustibles, which
were thoroughly saturated with coal oil
A match was then applied to the con-
tents Of the can and the burning mass
dumped into the basement Of the laundry.
The glare Of the fire attrcted several
citizens, and Policeman Wagner, Of the
Ninth precinct, no extinguished the
blaze with difficulty and without turning
in an alarm.

Nothing But Chnmp pa gne In the New

Mexico Log Mansion.
Stephen W. Dorsey is no longer numbered
among the picturesque characters of New
Mexico. The log mansion, with its beautiful
hardwood finish and elegant appointments,
looking out from the edge of a high mesa
over fifty miles OF plain and dmountainrange,
with fountain playing on the longer
knows the presence OF the man who designed
it and dispensed lavish hospitality which
New Mexican taste could not appreciate.
Through the mutations OF a cattle company
ex-senator Dorsey has transferred his resi-
dence to Denver. See -
The hospitality which Dorsey dispensed at
the log mansion on the mesa is still the mar
vel of New Mexico.

in session at South Las Vegas, Senator
Dorsey invited us out to his place to etay
over Sunday. Naturally, we all accepted,
and in the party was Judge Vincent, whom
President Cleveland summarily, and, as we
all thought, unjustly, removed for appoint
ing Dorsey one of the jury commissioners
of the county. We had heard much of
Dorsey's home and hospitality, and looked
forward to the visit with a great deal Of
interest. 1t was a twenty-mile drive When
we got to the place we found that its
attraction had not been exaggerated. The
logs of which the house was built were
dressed outside. The interior was hard
wood and polished. Senator Dorsey had
pfped water from a large spring high up
in the mountain. He had water all over his
house, and the pressure was sufficient to
keep large fountain playing continually
in front of the big porch.

Churches n nd Sunday Newspapers.

Putas much brains into the pulpit as there
is in the Sunday newspaper, and the average
man and woman will have desire TO enjoy
both. The Sunday newspaper is a time
honored institution and cannot be put down
in this age of progress and enlightenment
by simple denunciation. In many a home
where live, piety and purity rules it is q
welcome visitor and the church no loser by
lis presence. Moreover, it is a mistake to
suppose that there is a wanton desecration
of the Sabbath in getting out the Sunday
newspaper The work on 1t is mainly done
on Saturday, the violation of the Sabbath
lying principally in the sale. But baked
beans and brown bread are sold on Sunday
