BROKE THE RECORD.
Longest Spell of Zero Weather That Has
Ever Visited Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-There was an ap-
preciable moderation in the tempera-
ture in Chicago Wednesday, but zero
weather and below was the best that
could be had. The record for con-
tinuous temperature below zerofor this
city was broken by a run of S4 COR
secutive hours, from one a. m. January
81 to one p. IN. Wednesday, at which
hour the zero mark was officially re-
corded on the Auditorium tower. Dur
ing the previous II hours of the day
the thermometer had ranged between
four and one below zero. At two o'clock
in the afternoon one degree above zero
was welcomed, and the same tenn
pcrature continued for three hours.
The police continued their effective
work of providing instant temporary
relief to the thousands in want. Twice
as many cases were attended to than
on Tuesday, the total number of per-
sons given food, clothing and fuel be-
ing estimated at 10000.
st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 2s.-At midnight
the thermometer showed only four be-
low zero, whereas Wednesday morning
at eight o'clock it was 20 below. Re
ports from the west indicate warmer
weather.
Louisville, KY, Jan. 2S.-The heavy
ice in the Ohio caused total suspen-
sion of navigation Wednesday,. All the
upper and lower boats have tied up in
the canal.

CIVIL DEATH.
A Serious Question That May Come Up In
the Case of Life Prisoner


the Case of Life Prisoner
The statutes of New York provide
that the penalty of life Imprisonment
shall involve civil death for the felon
centenced to. This means that he
shall be deprived of his civil rights, par
ticularly property rights and the rights
resulting from families relations, as if
he were actually dead. 1t affects his
contract rights in the same manner as
physical death. He cannot, in this le-
gal condition, become an heir or obtain
property by bequest. The law de-
prives him of the legal rights of par
ent. If he has wife she may consider
her marriage legally dissolved. as if he
were dead, and contract another mar
riage.
Civil death was known to the Roman
law, and this term, according to Black
stone, was applied to certain legal con-
ditions in England. 1t is also known
to the French law and to the statutes
of number of our states. But there
are some doubts about the exact scope
and legal effects of the penalty. A
life convict may be pardoned. That
would certainly not disturb or IN any
way affect property rights or new
marriage relations that had been es-
tablished as consequence of the civil
| death. But could not the wife of a
| pardoned life convict, in case she had
not contracted another marriage rela-
ton claim the legal rights connect
ed with the marriage relation?
1t is believed that this question
must be answered in the affirmative,
and it would therefore appear that the
ex-convict, though he was civilly dead
during the term of his Imprisonment.
is still bound bound by his former rela-
tions if he has not been released there
from by an act not of his own doing.
1t would seem that the law in case
like the one to which reference was
made ought to require judicial disso-
Iution of the former marriage before it
authorizes the wife or the husband of
of person sentenced to life imprison-
ment to contract new marriage. Buff
