THE WEATHER.
The Thermometer Touches Zero in
Columbia.

The Thermometer Touches Zero in
Columbia.
Cold? Well, I should shiver! 1t
commenced getting cold Sunday
morning at o'clock, and the mer-
curry in the thermometer kept falling
until Monday morning at O'Clock
when it stood at II degrees above
the zero mark.
The wave came so unexpectedly
that great many were unprepared
for it, and, as the weather before
hand had been so mild, one would
have thought it was down to zero
had there been no thermometers to
tell the tale.
Tuesday morning the weather was
about the same, but Wednesday
morning at 8 O'Clock, according to
the thermometer at Rains drug
store, the mercury had taken another
tumble, dropping down to 10 above.
This thermometer is placed on the
south side of the building and is in
comparatively warm place. At
other places in the city the Their
mometers registered only 6 degrees
above.
The weather god, like Nero of old,
who sat on his roof and fiddled while
Rome burned, seemed to gaze down
on the poor. shivering humanity
below with an air of triumph and
delight; and his joy seemed to in
crease when he sent his lieutenants,
the wind and snow, to aid him in
his work.
The "beautiful" began to fall
Tuesday night, aud Wednesday it
was sufficiently deep for the lover
with his sleigh and the boy with his
sled. A few took advantage of the
opportunity, and for awhile the air
was filled with the merry tinkle of
the bells. But-thanks to the grac-
ious smiles of old sol, who came out
warm and bright Wednesday-the
| life of the snow was of short dura
ton; it began melting Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock, and the must
cal drip, drip, drip, as it fell from
the roof, brought joy to the hearts of
many.
The coolest hour was yet to come,
however. Thursday morning at
$3.50 o'clock the thermometer regis
tered 215 degrees above zero at
Rains, and at jameson the OPP
posite side of the street with a
northern eXposure-it stopped at the
zero mark. At other places in the
city-private ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
say it went two and three and four
degrees below.
But the morning was clear, with n
bright sun shining, and the mercury
rose steadily all day yesterday, and
it is thought that the "blizzard"
had about spent its fury, and that
the weather would continue to
moderate with to-day and to-mOr-
row.

DISASTROUS Fires.

Philadelphia and Chicago Visited by
Disastrous Fires.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. pa tiny
spiral of smoke curled out of the
cellar window of big building on
Market street at $3.50 o'clock this
morning. A few hours later one of
the most valuable blocks of real
estate in the city had been consumed
in raging flame. 1t was the block
bounded by Market, Thirteenth,
Filbert and Juniper streets, in the
very heart of the city. A few steps
to the right looms the City Hall ;
around the corner stands the Penn
sylvania Railroad terminal, and
directly across the way John Wanna
makers great store stretches from
street to street. So fierce was the
flames and so strong the wind, which
added it's destructive work, that
even this building, distant the width
of Market street, was saved almost
by miracle from total destruction,
and Mr.. Wanamaker tonight places
his loss at 100000.
The total loss is variously estimat-
ed at $l,000,000 to $2,500,000, but in
the chaos and confusion now exist
ing it is all but impossible to secure
accurate figures. The losses are
very generally covered by insurance,

At Chicago.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-Seven firemen
and two spectators were badly hurt
at u fire which this evening des-
troyed the Williams Block, at 1870
and POP Monroe street.
The fire originated in the base
ment of the building and spread
with such rapidity that within a
few minutes it had become utterly
useless for the firemen to attempt to
save the building. After hard
fight they managed to confine the
fire to the walls of the Williams
Block, but they were able to save
nothing in it.
The total damage to the building
and contents is estimated at $3S6 900.
The large grain elevator of the w.
II. Purcell Mating Company, at
One Hundred and Twenty-third
street and the Belt Line track, was
destroyed by fire to-day. Vice
. President Joseph Guckenheimer
estimated the loss at about $350,0O0
which is almost entirely covered by
insurance.

Mrs. Ann Pillow, cold, died Tues
day of last week at the residence of
her daugher, Mrs. Italy Halfacre,
and was buried Thursday. She had
been an invalid for more than
year, and great sufferer and death
came as IA sweet release to her pa
tient, christian soul, that it might go
up higher and enjoy a life that has
no end, in bone where there is no
distinctions, and where her simple
faith and honest purpose will have
its reward. She was not only an
honor to her race, but one whom
everybody delighted to honor.
Though her station in life was hum
BILE, there was not a home in Co.
lumbia, where she was known, that
she was not always welcome visi-
tor; not "a room in the house too good
for her to occupy chair therein.
She was polite, courteous, motherly,
faithful, honest, loyal and true.
Wherever she nursed or wherever
she lived, she won not only the love
of the little ones, but the unfeigned
respect and lasting good will Of all,
young and old. All honor to her
memory, and may her habits of in
dustrious, her honesty, her integrity,
the good example of her life, bear
forth rich harvest of good fruit.

DEATHS HARVEST.

Mrs. Mary Carpenter died last
Friday morning at 2:l5 o'clock, at
the residence of her daughter, Mrs.
]. H. Digger, on South Main Street,
in the Slst year of her age. The
funeral services were held at the
residence Saturday morning at 10
o'clock, by Revs. w. A. Provine and
ID. II. Waynick, and the remains
were inferred in Rose Hill Gene
terry. Mrs. Carpenter had been a
member of the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church for more than sixty
years; her life was an honorable
Christian career, and she died ripe
in years, rich in good deeds, and
ready for the reward which God has
promised those who are faithful to
the end. Only one of her children,
Mrs. Digger, survives her. She was
the mother of the late j. f. r.. Car
penter and w. H. Carpenter.
The remains of Mrs. w. E. Pegram
were brought here from Nashville
last Monday morning and inferred
in Rose Hill Cemetery. Mrs. Peg
rams maiden name was Miss Mollie
Sheriff., and for many years she
was a resident in Columbia. She
has many friends here who will be
grieved to hear of her death.
Mr.. Sam Sparkman, of the Loco
neighborhood, who had been visit
ing his son in West Tennessee, died
from la grippe at his sons home, on
Tuesday, Jan. 10. The remains were
brought to Loco last Saturday for
burial.
Little Robert Nicholson, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Nat Nicholson, of
Andrews, was called to his heavenly
home last Tuesday morning. Dur
ing the fourteen short months of his
life he had entwined himself around
the hearts of everyone iD that house
hold where he was ray of sunshine,
and the prattle of his infant tongue
was sweetest music to the loved
ones there. But, alas, Darkness
reigns in Sunshine's stead, and the
baby tongue has given place to SOr-
rows wall. We extend our deepest
sympathy to the bereaved parents,
and hope that the sweet fragrance
from the little flower so soon cut
down, may serve to brighten with
buds of Eternal Hope the future that
seems so dark, and that the father
who now languishes upon a bed OF
pain, may soon be restored to health
to happiness and prosperity.

England to the Powers.

LONDON, February 25. In the house
of lords today Lord Salisbury anncun-
ced that telegram had been sent to
the British representatives at the capi-
tai of each of the combined European
powers the phraseology of which is as
follows: Inform the government to
which you are accredited that her maj
esty's government proposes to make the
following declaration of policy that
they intend to pursue, which they be-
lieve to be in accordance with their
allies:
First-That the establishment of an
administrative autonomy in Crete is
necessary to the termination of the in
ternational occupation of that island.
Second-That subject to such sys-
tenn of administrative autonomy, Crete
ought to remain a part Of the Turkish
empire.
Third-That the government OF
Greece ought to be informed of this
resolution.
Fourth-That if either Turkey or
Greece should persist in a refusal when
requested to withdraw her naval and
military forces from theisland, the
powers should impose their decision
by force.

The police rounded up gang of nine
tramps this morning in the Southern
Pacific yards. They were black and
tan outfit and had been burning ties
and other railroad lumber to keep
themselves warm, and to cook their
food-such as it was. Several OF the
buns started to escape, and the officers
had lively chase after them The
outfit were brought up to the city hall:
where variety of things were found
on them, though nothing of any value.
One darkey hard purse of 50 concealed
in his wool, and several of the others
has little money.
While they were being overhauled, a
four bit piece belonging to one OF them
was laid ou the desk, and immediately
disappeared. Then there was great
search for the money, and as it was
not discovered on the tramps the whole
outfit were locked up in a cell and told
to root up the four bit piece before they
were given anything stronger than
bread and water.

A Report That His Exequatur
Has Been Handed Him by
SPANISH AUTHORITIES.
There is Trouble Between Consul Gen
eral Lee and the Havana AuthOri-
ties Because General Lee Insists
on Protection of American Citizens
in Cuba.

WASHINGTON, February 25.-From
two distinct sources, statements were
received here This morning that Consul
General Lee at Havana, chad received
his passport" The rumor caused great
excitement. Inquiries in official cir
cles ELECTED strong denials of the ru-
NOR. The fact being pointed out that
passports were not given to consuls,
but only to ministers aud ambassadors.
The return of his "exequatur" to the
consul general would be equivalent to
sending his passports. AT the Spanish
legation and state department it is
empha hatically asserted that this course
has not been taken.
Mr.. Olney says the exciting state
ments are put out simply to ''run the
state department through the pews-
papers," The secretary says there is
no change in the Cuban situation.
The trouble between Consul General
Lee and the Havana authorities has
been brought about y Lees determine
ton to investigate the cause of Dr..
Ruiz's death. DR.. Ruiz was an Amer
lean citizen and died mysteriously in a
Spanish prison.
That DR.. Ruiz was murdered is the
belief Of four-6fths Of the Cubans in
Havana and many of the Spanish. They
recall how many similar GASES have
happened, and all know how easy it is
for prisoner deprived of every comfort
and every weapon to com nit ''suicide.' -
Gen. Lee believes that Ruiz was assas-
sinated.
Lee has also worked hard in the case
of Charles Scott, an Ohio man, arrest
ed in Regla several days ago and con-
fined in a dungeon. Lee has demanded
with much firmness that Scott be
removed at once to another cell, and
that he or any other American who de-
sires be permitted to see Scott.
This demand has greatly vexed the
Marquis of Ahumada, and he has had
wire communication with Weyler sew
eral times. and it is supposed that the
status OF affairs is being discussed by
them. That the Spaniards are angry
over Lees interference, as they call it,
goes without saying.
The American colony in Havana is
watching matters closely, and all have
given Lee the most enthusiastic praise
for his steadfast determination to have
Americans protected in Cuba.
This is the third time that an open
rupture with Spain has come near re-
sulting from the American consufs in
reference and it is now thought that
trouble is sure to follow. Congress is
with General Lee in his f sht for Amer
ican protection.

HAVANA, Februa- y 25.-It is report
ed that Genenral Gomez after success

cti Spiritus, passed south of Santa
Clara city with 1000 men marching

will force the Spaniards to attack or
