VERY, VERY COLD WEATHER
This Region Experiences the Most
Severe Nave of the Season.
RELIEF IS PROMISED TO-DAY
Scranton Was Hard Hit, but the Cold
Wave Was More Severe on the
pOconO and North on the
Lackawanna Road.

The coldest weather of the winter in
this city and vicinity prevailed during
the very early hours Of yesterday morn
ing and until the sun had climbed htgh
in the heavens and tempered the wave
at 10 o'clock During the day 1t was
cold, bitter cold, but the temperature
was a reat relief from that which eX
listed earlier. Scranton, however, did
not fare so badly as did the towns on
the Pocono and up along the DeyaWare,
Lackawanna and Western railroad.
where the thermometers averaged pos
sibly ten points lower than here.
The sudden drop began about mid
night Sunday and at 40 o'clock had
fallen to II degrees below zero in the
central city, III on the West Side. IL in
the North End. 10 in Dunmore and 81
ON i'm proportion to the altitude until ut
Tobyhanna and other points on the
Pocono the reistry was from 20 to -
derees. 1t was more severe than this
short distance north Of-here, being
~ degrees ut MontrOSe and 26 at BinS-
hamton. Conkling and other places near
the New York line. After sunrise there
was perceptible rise in temperature
an,t At , o'clock in the afternoon the
weather waa comparatively mild At
s degrees above the zero mark.
At II o'clock last night the theilnom-
rter in front of Phelps drug store reg
istered q degrees above. At midnight
IL was II degrees below at Tohyhannl
ON the top of the PoconO and zero at
Stroudsburg on the other side OF the
mountain.
No Serious damage Hone. "A. u
There was no serious general dam
age done by the excessive cold IN ihe
city although there were numerous re-
ports Of individual discomfort and -x-
pense from the breakage of water pipes
in houses and stores. The effect of tn"
wave was particularly noticible on the
retail store trade. there being but few
shoppers VcntureSonr enough to brave
the biting air. The steam ana street
railroad employees had anything but an
easy time of il and there We're numer-
ous instances of frostbitten fingers, ears
and toes.
The severity Of the weather may be
| ina gined from the fact that the I.acka-
wanna river was sufficiently frozen in
| the North End and at Dodgetown 10
permit skating, and the surface of the
| stream at these two points was dotted
| by scores of delighted youngsters. Ow-
| ing to the large quantity of sulphur
water in the stream the water freezes
only during the most severe weather.
Fair Weather for Today.
The governments prognostications
| received at The Tribune office at mid
| night indicated for today fair weather
with partial cloudiness and snow fur
! ries near the coast, slowly rising
temperature and easterly winds. De-
cidedly warmer weather IL promised
| for tomorrow.

COLOR ED PEOPLE CAN ACT.
Company Of Them Give Old Tennessee
at Davis Thcater Yesterday,

After the first act Of "Old Tennessee,
which played at Davis theater yester-
day, the applause of the audience COM
PEELED a re-lifting of the curtain. The
show Is a good one. 1t serves among
other things to prove what colored peo-
pie can do i'm the way of furnishing an
entertainment. Ernest Hogan, col
ored man, Is an actor of more than or
dinary merit. The singing is of the
genuine plantation variety, and as
dancers, some of the male members of
the company are hard to equal. Ev-
erythng was given with surprising
realism.
The scuffie of "Uncle Pete" Mr.. Ho-
gan, and the villain 'Stocorone," c. II.
Cline, was natural to an exceptional de-
gree. There is an interesting plot in
the play. and the incidentals, such as
the abolition Club" etc, are very
well arranged. The performance will
repay visit. 1t will be repeated to-
night and tomorrow night with daily
matineeS.

COMPANY Was Dismissed.

Judge Archibald yesterday dismissed
the aDDlicatlon of the Valley supply
company. of Carbondale. for an exten-
sion of time in which to construct IT'S
works, reservoirs, pipes, machinery and
other appliances.
The company was chartered on Aug.
II, 1887, and the place called or known
as saltwater on the I.ackawanna river
near it's source was where the water
was to be procured from. The condi-
tions of the charter required the COM
pany to- proceed about the construction
of the works and have them finished
within seven years. The works were
not finished and the application was
for an extension of time. The court
did not see fit to grant 1t, and now the
rights of the company are null and
void

Hanna are terrible" Homer Daven-

William Holder, sheriff of Sherman
county, and William Hendricks, clerk of
the same county, were in Portland yes
terday. Both are Republicans, and,
while admitting that the vote of Sher-
man county will be close next month,
they look for small plurality for Nc
Kinley.
Encouraging reports continue to come
from the country precincts for the cause
of Republicanism, and the prospect of
McKinley's success in Marion Co. grows
brighter as election day approaches. In
addition to the six dozen uniforms and
torches of the Salem Flambeau Club,
900 more torches have been ordered.

shane's Work for the Refuge
Home at Portland.

Mrs. Shane left last evening for Pen
dleton, La Grande, Baker City and
other Eastern Oregon points in the in
terest of the Florence Crittenton Mis-
sion Home in Portland. She has been
in the city three days. having received
several contributions here. Mrs. Shane
has taken the most active interest in
this cause of any lady in Portland.
For years there has been home of
this sort in the city OF Portland, having
been nominally called the "Refuge
Home" for unfortunate girls. Most of
these have come from the country, and
in the home there have been several
mothers of only IA years of age. The
number of pronouncedly fallen women
seeking their home have been com para.
lively few. When Mr.. Crittenton went
to Portland, where he held series of
meetings, he endowed 81 800 upon it,
later giving it $500 more, and raising an
additional $500 from sympathizers in
the cause, and the name was changed
to the Florence Crittenton home.
Lately there has been some trouble
caused on the part of Mr.. Bancroft, by
citing to certain clause in an act by
the legislature in reference to the home.
The Legislature provided an annual sum
for the benefit OF the home. and Mrs. w.
S. Ladd of Portland gave an acre of
ground in the suburbs, upon which a
permanent building was to be erected.
The yearly state allowance seems to be
contingent upon the home being built
upon Mrs. Ladd's gift of land. The
temporary structure existing on premi-
ses adjacent to Mr.. Bancroft's home, to
the annoyance of himself and family, be
cited the clause in the legislative act to
harass the home by withdrawing the
provision made by the state. The diff.
: Guilty consisted in the unavailability oil
using the land for the purpose intended
It was covered with a dense growth oi
trees, was distant from the city lights
and streets, and had no means of in.
gress or egress. Mrs. Shane is now try.
ing to secure funds to clear the land
make road to it, and erect temporary
building, SO that the annual sum do.
mated by the state may be secured.

Mitchell ut Dufur.

The speech of Senator Mitchell last
evening constituted the biggest event in
Dufur of the campaign. Citizens from
all over the county assembled in the
public hall there to the number of 500.
Ten were present from The Dalles. We
are told that upon this occasion Senator
Mitchell was at his best. AT times he
was interrupted by questions. Some of
them were evidently stated to disconcert
him, but his replies were so ready, so
forcible, and SO entirely satisfactory to
the audience, that these tactics were
soon abandoned. There was manifest
intention early in the speech on the
part of the Bryan forces to turn it into
Bryan meeting, but unfortunately for
them, the effort was reactionarv and the
meeting proved to be the most enthusi-
astic Republican event OF the campaign.
At times the cheering was tremendous,
and as point after point was scored by
our brainy senator, the enthusiasm grew
until it reached the boiling point.
When the senator asked for an express
sion of the minds of the audience, a
conservative estimate places the num-
ber who rose for Mckinley as from two
thirds to three-fourths of the whole
number.

Poisoning from CreosOte.

Much has been said of late about the
treatment of tuberculosis by Injections
of compound containing cIeosote. In
some instances there has been notable
improvement, although as rule the
cough remains. A patient was recently
taken to the hospital to he treated with
this creosote preparation. Each day
he received doses of one-in-f fifteen So
luton, beginning with $50 grains on
the first day, and increasing the dose
ten grains each time, until sour ounces
end a quarter had been reached. The
patient at this time was seized with
violent delirium and nervous agitation.
alternating with semi-comatOse cOndi-
tons. He remained in this state for
nearly twenty-four hours, when there
was a change for the better. and after
three days left the hospital, as is sup
posed, entirely cured. The only posi-
BILE conclusion is that the creOsote
poisons the disease germs in the body.
This is an important pom. for investi-
cation, and should be carefully noted,
as it may lead to some unusually valu-
able discoveries.
