No Wonder to Those Who Have Been
There.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Black snow was
novelty enjoyed by this city tonight Be-
tween and p. m. there was a fall of a
couple of inches of what seemed in the
dark to be the staple winter article but
which, on examination under gas or electric
light, proved to be decidedly not the ordi-
nary Caucasian variety. The flakes crystal
and feecy enough, were OF a muddy -colored
sort that at once suggested the Ethiopian
adjective. When melted on an extended palm
they left tiny ink-Iike speck. In the mass
the so-called snow looked like three weeks
old slush. The weather bureau officials and
other supposed good experts were at first
inclined to attribute the phenomenon to local
atmospheric conditions in combination with
the smoke and CRIME OF the city. Advices.
however, that the same results were OBJ
served at suburbs thirty-five miles distant
upset all such explanations.
The storm began at $40 D. m and contin-
ued spasmodically until far into the night
FROM Evanston to the Indiana state line and
from the shore of Lake Michigan to the most
westerly suburbs. the $50 square miles of
Cook county was swept by the peculiar WIS.,
itatfon. The heavy fall was made almost
binding by stiff southwest wind. Each
particular flake that fell on the clothing of
those who happened to be on the ,straets. left
It's trace in a small blotch of dark brown
ish dirt.
Dispatches show that the black snow fell
over wide expanse of territory and was not
by any means confined to the immediate vi
cinity of Chicago. kilograms received from
points as far away as the cities OF Iowa told
OF similar experiences. Southern Wisconsin,
Northern Illinois and Western Indiana were
alike overspread.

This Is Certainly a Chance Which
Should Not Be Lost.

We are aware that our people who
suffer from nervous, chronic or long
standing complaints do not have the
same opportunity to be cured as do
the residents of the great cities where
the most eminent physicians and spe-
cialists reside. In other words our
people are debarred from seeking a
cure by the great and skilled physi-
clans owing to the cost of travel to
the large city and the high fees
charged by such physicians.
Here, therefore, is a chance for the
sick of our community which should
not be lost. DR.. Greene of So West
14th ST., New York City, who has the
largest practice in the world and who
is without doubt the most successful
specialist in curing all forms of nerv-
Gus and chronic diseases, offers to give
free consultation by mail to all suffer-
ers whom their local physician has
failed to cure. You have the privilege
of consulting DR.. Greene by letter,
will, after carefully considering
your condition, send you let
ter fully explaining all your symp-
toms, telling you everything about
your complaint SO plainly that you will
understand exactly what ails you. He
Will also give you his advice, based up
on his vast experience and wonderful
success in treating such cases. as to
just what to do to get cured All this
will cost you nothing and you can thus
have consultation with the best-known
physician and acknowledged most sue
cessful specialist in the world, without
leaving home and at no expense what
ever. The Doctor is the discoverer
of that greatest of all known med
icines, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy and he has discovered
many other most valuable remedies.
Write to him now, for this is a chance
to get cured which you may never have
again.

SOLUTION SAID TO BE IN SIGHT.

LONDON, Feb. ia Washington
dispatch to the Times warns the En-
glish government against delay in re-
spending to the overture indicated in
the correspondents dispatch of yester-
| day, which gave an outline Of a plan
for a joint commission on the Vene-
zuelan dispute, of British and Anneri-
can members, which,; he said. would
be acceptable to the United States.
1.-THE danger is, says the Times cor
respondent, that the public will not
support this new departure so readily
as 1T did President Clevelands mes
sage. But whatever reception it may
receive, the Washington government
will carry out it's purpose to give full
effect to it's proposal. The more quick
ly England accepts the offer, the more
general is the approval of the Ameri-
can people likely to be. It is no light
thing to let such suggestions come be-
fore the American public without a
previous assurance of their acceptance
by England.''
The dispatch of yesterday from
Washington to the Times, to which ref
erence is made, besides outlining plan
for joint commission, says: There
would be a disposition (by this govern
menD to agree in advance upon some
satisfactory definition of the settled dis
tricts, and to some definite rules to de-
termine such questions, and, with ref
erence to all that part of the subject, to
take a liberal view. There would be
no objection to the idea of compensa-
ton or some equitable arrangement to
avoid the disturbance of actual set
tiers"
The Daily News this morning gives
forecast of the course the Venezuelan
negotiations will take, which it says
it believes to be substantially accurate
The Daily News goes on to say: 1.-The
role of quasi-suzerainty over Venezuela
which the United States appears to as
sumo is a distinct advantage to Eng
land. AS first stage in the sug zsted
settlement, joint commission. will be
appointed, consisting of an equal num-
Der of Englishmen and Americans.

TR0Y's HOLOCAUST.
Miraculously, 1t Would Seem, but
Three Lives Were Lost.

Three Lives Were Lost.
TROY, N. Y, Feb. 1S.-What seems> al
most miracle in connection with the dis
astrous confagration in Troy last night is
the fact made evident tonight that the loss
of life is no greater than was accurately de-
tailed last night. The list of three killed
and fifteen wounded is verified tonight, and
the miracle appears in the fact that those
noted as missing have reported, and out of
the $50 human beings who crushed and strug-
gled for life in the fame bound building
last night but three fatal endings came. The
names of those who were killed and wounded
were correctly given last night.
The dramatic incident of the day occurred
about noon when at 101 River street mem
Der of the firm of Stettheimer & Co. began
calling the roll of employees to find the miss
ing. Pale-faced women, nervous with the
shock of last night, stood in rows before the
caller of the roll. As the call proceeded the
answers came readily, and there were looks
OF relief upon the faces. When the names of
the dead women were reached Mrs. Carroll
Mrs. Carr and Mrs. Foley there were tears
and sobs. When the call was completed
seven absentees were noted, and emissaries
were sent out to find them, the apprehension
in the meantime growing into a settled belief
that they were in the building. BY o'clock
tonight all had been located, and police and
iremen are alike in their wonder as to how
the great mass of humanity escaped.
There were many acts of heroism recorded
today in addition to those noted last night
Nellie and Lottie Hull were working on
the sixth floor of the collar shop when startled
by the cry of fire. The girls rushed toward
the front of the building but were driven
back by smoke and flames. Blinded by
smoke, and with their faces singed, they
ran to the back of the building which is
seven stories from the alley. AS they were
about to throw themselves from the win
dows Charles Jefferson dragged the girls back
and hustled them toward doorway. In
few moments the girls gained stairway
and reached the ground in safety. In his
Efforts to save the girls Jefferson was slight
ly burned.
During the panic Rev. Michael Fogarty,
assistant pastor Of. st. Peters church, ran
up stairs and attempted to cheer the girls
with cheering words. He gathered a number
of women around him and led them safely
from the Burning building. Insurance men

this committee to fix the date of such con-
vention. Other important business will come

that you will be present in person or send a
proxy of some active Republican in your

We are informed from Secretary Bowling

II would not be right that Minnesota should
be behind in this work in this presidential
work year. We have increased our Repub-
lican vote when other Republican states have
even gone over to the enemy, and in this
Republican year we should certainly infiict
a most overwhelming defeat upon our enc
mics. To make this certain it. is necessary
that the work of the league should be be-
gun at once, and that all clubs should be
revived and their organization perfected The
future is in your hands.
John Goodnow, President.

The st. Paul members of the committee, it
is understood wish to have the convention
held March %, the day after the state con-
vention, and this is probably the day upon
which 1t will be held. The committee how
ever, can fix the date whenever it sees fit
and as there is some little uncertainty as to
when would be the most advisable time to
mold the convention, definite statement
can be made in that respect just at present.

THERE ARE OTHERS.
One Hundred More Irish-Amer
Creditors Take q Hand.

The most remarkable development in the
1rish-American bank investigation yesterday
afternoon the informal petition of 100
other creditors of the bank to participate in
the present proceeding intended to GUST Frank
r. Hubachek as assignee. These 100 people
are represented by different attorneys. At
torney Donahue, of the firm of Meyers &
Donahue, now prosecuting the case, claims
to represent twenty of the newcomers
Charles Somerby represents several Others
and the rest are somewhat scattered. but all
agree in wishing to assist the prosecution.
This Information was presented to Judge Bel
den late yesterday afternoon. The court was
inclined to rule out the motion. but finally
took it under consideration until today. The
court thought the matter should have been
brought into the proceedings in q formal
manner by the usual form of petition. The
witnesses examined yesterday were T. E.
Bishop, James H. Bishop, ex-Cashier John
E. Gould and Frank R. Hubachek, the pres
ent assignee. T. E. Bishop admitted on the
stand that while he was a director of the
bank and also a trustee of the Penny Press
loan of s15, 600 was made to the paper on the
note of George S. Garfield.
Nothing very new was developed during the
afternoon, the prosecution sticking to the
lines laid down yesterday and seeking to
strengthen their case by amassing evidence
This morning at 10 o'clock the attorneys
will meet Judge Belden to set the time when
the full bench shall hear the arguments on
both sides.
