were coated with ice so heavily that lines were snapped and poles prostrated. The railroads were all blocked by the wreck of wires and poles and trains were de- layed from six to twelve hours. On the discontinued after o'clock Wednesday afternoon until Thursday morning as a precautionary measure against collisions, prostrated wires making 1t impossible to reach the trains starting from Atlanta to arrange anything like a schedule.
 In the city business was absolutely at standstill in all departments except shoe and rubber goods traGe and coal and wood. There was a fearful wreck of wires in the city, and all currents were ordered off by the mayor as a precaution against live wires. The immediate dam age will not exceed $15,000, the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph com panies being the heaviest losers The city was in absolute darkness Wdnesdayf night, and no street cars were running from Wednesday morning until Thursday afternoon. Not a single accident as
 result of the storm has been reported 4 !. this city. e
 In Burke county, near here, one ne- 9 was killed by the falling of large limb of tree, which struck him on the head crushing his skull. The forests in the storm district have suffered greatly, ow- ing to the breaking of the trees under the heavy load of ice that encountered them. Thursday the sun came up bright and early, and the weather is now of that ideal kind that has won for this country the title of the "Sunny South"

THE WORST OVER.
Chippewa River Has Forced a Channel
 Under the Ice and Is Receding

Chippewa River Has Forced a Channel
 Under the Ice and Is Receding.
 Chippewa Falls, Wis, Dec 1.-The sit uation at 10 o'clock this morning Is more hopeful. The water has receded one foot and is gradually going down. It is thought that the river has forced chan nel for itself under the gorge. The weather is moderating, and unless all signs fail the water will continue to re- cede. It will probably be two weeks be- fore the river returns to It's normanl state. The people are less excited and all feel more hopeful.
 In an interview with Col. Jones, of St. Paul, United States civil engineer, that gentleman stated that in his opinion the worst was over, and if there is any fur ther rise it will be but a few inches at the most '"The river is falling above the dam one foot per day" he said, "and, as Claire, it is proof conclusive that the water has made a channel under the gorge"
 Col. Jones thinks it would only be a waste of money to use dynamite at pres ent, as the river is doing more to free itself than any amount of dynamite could de-
 Do you think there is probability of the gorge going out suddenly, and there by doing much damage at Eau Claire?" the colonel was asked.
 "No," was the reply. "There is no such danger T think the ice in the gorge will remain until spring and that the river will force a channel plenty large enough under it. In the spring the ice will gradually melt and will cause no flood"

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Gov. Johnston's message to the general assembly has attracted widespread at tention and the Governor is receiving let ters from distant states relative to the re- sources of this state. It was the prac- tical bubsiness plan of this message which brings about this result and 1t will doubtless lead to some very valuable investments and additions to the icti- zenship of this state.
 The debate on the judiciary commit tees report on the Dreyspring bill in the senate today was participated in by Senators Brewer, Pettus, Cunning ham, Rogers, from the democratic side of the house, and, even aside from the tilt between Hundley and Russell, the debate was very interesting. No better idea as to the sentiment of the democrats of the senate who favor the measure can be given than by Dr. Cunningham's at titude, whose loyalty to silver cannot be questioned by any fair minded man. He believed that many business contracts and enterprises were now being held up pending the fate of this bill, and for that reason he urged immediate action by the senate, and moved to lay MT. Brewers motion to postpone on the table, but at the reqest of several senators withdrew 1t temporarily.
 He thought it was a buncombe bill and could do no good, while 1t might do much harm; at the same time he did not relinquish his loyalty to the constitution al principle of the free coinage Of silver at 16 to 1.
 The populists contended that there was "politics'' in the bill and they took con- siderable part in the discsson.
 The adverse report of the Judiciary committee was finally concurred in by vote of 22 to 9.

GALES AND SNOW STORMS

Encountered In the Atlantic and Three
 Steamers Overdue.
 New York, Dec 4.-The Old Dominion Line steamer, Guyandotte, Captain Wal ker, from Newport News and Norfolk, arrived here early this morning. Cap tain Walker reports that he encountered heavy northeast gales with thick snow storms all the way up. Coastwise steamers are evidently having tussle with the weather, as there are several of them considerably behind time.
 The Clyde line steamer Seminole, left Charleston on November 30, and was looked for here day before yesterday but has not yet been sighted.
 The Cherokee, of the same line, left Charleston the day after the Seminole sailed and should, with ordinary weather conditions, have arrived here yesterday.
 The Tallahassee, of the Ocean Steam ship company's line, left Savannah on the 1st, instant, and was expected to ar rive here yesterday. She has not yet been reported by the Highlands observer.

New York, Dec. 4.-An announcement made yesterday by Clarence Lyman Col lins that there Is absolutely no truth in the frequently repeated rumors of the engagement of his daughter, Miss Edith Lyman Collins, to her guardian, the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, was shown to MT. Depew. MT. Depew declared that the statement was correct and said that he had been the guardian of Miss Collins in money matters since she was three years old and that he is also a trustee under the will of her grandmother, Mrs. Nivens, and that the natural intimacy growing out of those relations and his admiration for his ward had led to reports of their engagement. lssHlr ea

POWERFUL PETITION
To Be Presented Governor Johnston in the Interest of Wyatt Hefhn, Esq, Signed by Legis-
 lators. v 'ti

Montgomery. Ala, Dec. 4.-(Staff Cor respondence )-Hon. H. P. Hefiin will file with Governor Johnston tomorrow morning a petition signed by majority of the members of the democratic caucus of the general assembly requesting him to appoint MT. Hefiin to the office of solicitor of Jefferson county. Governor Johnston has not been advised up to this time of the exact strength of MT. Hef1in among the members, and this petition will doubtless have great weight with the governor in making a choice for the appointment This petition indicates very clearly that had the selection of a solicitor been left to the legislature MT. Hefiin would have been elected.

ing class of young men into full connec- tion in the ministry: D. F. EllisonL Wat son c. Kersh, George w. Hinton, James S. F. Stephens Ale Bowen, John w Mathison Benjamin F. Reagan. It is the law Of the church that every young min ister must be two years on trial and Is not a member of the conference till that time is passed. At the end of that time, if they have passed satisfactory examinations and are found acceptable they are taken into full connection by assuming proper vows. The bishop had the young men to stand before him and spoke to them of the work.
 The bishop showed first the deep mo- tiyes and high privileges of the minister. He spoke of the difference between the. shepherd who loves the sheep and the hireling, who is only faithful for the wages. He spoke of the difference be- tween the church as the young minister finds it now and the trials of the early Methodist fathers. He counseled the young men to be rsGdy for heroic service even amid the improved condition. He spoke of the necessity of study. He showed why it was more needful than it ever was. More than ever the hearers demand Knowledge on the part of the preachers. They must be hard students. There must be oil for the sanctuary. Not that we rely upon the excellency of mems wisdom, but that the gospel may be preached with clearness. He urged
  voted to real study, not relying upon the previous training.
 But needful as is study, no preacher must devote so much time to study as to neglect the other duties of the ministry, such as visiting and care for the charit- able causes of the church.
 There is in all valuable service some drudgery. We cannot consult our pleas ure and have our ease But as matter of duty whether it is liked or not preacher must do all the phases of work. In beautiful flight Of thought the bish- op showed that the intellectual and spir- itual elevation of the ministry makes It peculiarly free from drudgery.
 He then put the question and vows and the young men assumed all the obli- gations of the ministry and were well comed by the bishop into the conference.
 communication was read from the executive committee of the state Sabbath school association of Alabama. It was referred to a special committee of three as follows: w. A. McCarty, G. F. Ellis, E. M. Davis.

PERSONALS.

Rev. J. B. Cummings, of East Lake, IS in the city attending the conference. He was for. four years pastor of the Dexter avenue church and then or Prattville church. He resigned his pas torate in Prattville to take the presi- dency of the East Lake Atheneum MT Cummings is talented. inergetic preacher, but seems to be just as much at home as president
 Debates on the conference floor are sometimes full of spice and fun, and sometimes full of strong argument Some enthusiastic opponents of the ad- mission of a young man would seem to be almost unfriendly to him. But as soon as he is admitted over his vote and speech, the. speaker receives him as a brother.
 Rev. LII. James, of the Alabama con- ference, is an original witty Irishman He was born in the north of Ireland and came from Erin to the continent when a young man. He was licensed as a preacher in Mobile twenty-five years ago. He is a good preacher and de- light socially.
 Dr. w. A. McCarty is one of the vet erans of the Alabama conference. He has served all sorts of charges in the state, and served the church as teacher and as a presiding elder. He has been superannuated fos several years, but during that time he has not been idle. He is the author of an admirable book, called Doctrines of the Times" It is practical and original and very readable.
 Rev. W. W. Wadsworth, D. D., is not only an eloquent pulpit orator, but very entertaining oriental traveller, whose talks are delightful. He has devoted a very engaging volume on the subject. His last book is, perhaps, his best, and describes his oriental travels, and is called Among the Orientals~"

Houston reports hog and hominy plentiful in the "Canebrake' and the people prosperous and contented.

THE SOLICITORSHIP.

The senate today finally disposed of the Jefferson county solicitorship, as far as the general assembly shall have a voice in that matter, by sustaining the ad- verse report of the judiciary committee. Of course the Governor, through courte- sy to the legislature, would take no ac- ton in this matter until finally disposed of by that body, though his action might have been sustained by existing law. It may now be confidently expected that the appointment will be made at an early time. It might be done tomorrow on the following day. The friends of the respec- tive candidates have formed solid fronts and will press the claims of their favorite to the fullest limit, in the bounds of pro- priety.
