portals of polished ice and the walls are
lined with ice columns Of all the colors
of the rainbow. Many Of the walls will
inclose electric lights and will sparkle
like diamonds. There will be search
lights on the towers and throughout the
building electric lights of varied hues
will transform the great ice palace into
fairyland of beauty.
The main entrance on Eighth street
has grand stairway and an ice statue
of Leadville pointing to the hills from
which 5000, 900, 900 worth of ore has
been taken. This statue is the figure Of
a woman, and about the building other
statues of ice will be objects of interest.
The great palace has numerous towers
of ice. Two of them are 40 feet wide
and 95 feet high, two more are so feet
tall and have a diameter of 80 feet and
there are numerous smaller towers. An
entire street has been closed to make
way for gigantic toboggan slide, and

fete.

It Is the Largest Ever Built and Is
Truly Wonderful Structure.
Without dropping into slang it is per-
fectly safe to say that Leadvilie, Colo,
has been cutting considerable ice of late.
10 be exact, she has cut 10000
pounds of ice and has used it in con-
structing the largest ice palace that ever
stood on this continent. Montreal has
been famous for such palaces and SO has
st. Paul and other cities, but Leadville
claims that her palace is three times as
large as Montrcal's best effort and is
greater by far than any other similar
structure ever constructed on the CONT
nent. Three hundred men were hard at
work for weeks on the building and the
bustling mining city has expended a
fortune on its carnival scheme.
A mammoth frame structure of wood
$50 feet long by $50 feet wide has been
built and faced with walls of ice %
inches wide. The ice blocks were laid
one upon another, and froze together
after they had been moistened with
boiling water. Within this great struc-
ture is a mammoth ice rink. a cafe,
grand ballroom, exhibit rooms and
rooms where the spectators may warm

Two Persons Killed and Six Badly In
iured on the Baltimore s. Ohio.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. 81. = Two
passenger trains co1Iided at 7:30 last
night on the Baltimore & Ohio South
western railway, near Coal City, four
teen miles from Cincinnati They
were the Louisville express, which
left this city at 7:o5 p. M, and the st.
Louis accommodation, due here at
7:O5. The latter was an hour late.
Both engines were totally wrecked,
as the engineers had very little time
to check their speed. The combina-
ton car of the Louisville express and
the car on the train from St Louis
were telescoped.
The dead are: Fireman Wilson of
the Louisville express, and an un-
known man burned under the wreck.
Six others were badly injured.
The cause of the accident was the
failure of the operator at Storr's sta
ton, within the city limits, to report
to the Louisville train an order to
wait at Delhi and let the st. Louis
train pass it there.

NEW YORK, Dec. s1.-The proprie-

tory yesterday before City Magistrate
Kudlich in the test cases instituted
against them last week for selling
beer and liquors during performances.
The magistrate holds that section
201o of the consolidated act, under
which the arrest of Messrs. Roster,
Hammerstein and Krauss was made,
has been ever since the enactment
construed by all the branches of the
municipal government as not apply
ing to places of amusement now made
the subject of sudden attack. ITO
enforce the law now" the magistrate
continues, ''seems almost a crime. -
The proprietors, he adds, were justi-
fed in relying on our affirmative
silence. If a crime had been commit
ted, every branch of the city govern
ment is partlceps criminis.

on the Question.
Although They Held the Bal

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The commit
tees of the Senate yesterday passed to
the control of the Republicans. The
Populists, with the exception of Mr..
Kyle of South Dakota, declined to
vote, and the Republicans, having
plurality of the Senate, were thus en-
abled to adopt the resolution by vote
of 80 to %. Mr.. Kyle voted with the
Democrats against the reorganization.
A two-hour debate followed the
adoption of the resolution by which
the change was effected, the purpose
of which was mainly political. The
Democrats, under the leadership of
Senator German, ably seconded by
Senator Harris, attempted to show
that the reorganization was effected
by an alliance between the Republic
ans and Populisks, contending that the
silence of the latter, by making posi-
sible the reorganization, indicated &C
qIiescence. He also insisted that the
Repu bllcan assumption of control sad
died them with the responsibility for
legislation.

of Nebraska and Senator Butler of

leadership of Senator Mitchell, chair
man of the Republican steering com
