\ GREAT SNOW IN THE WEST.
Trains Stalled and Traffic Almost
Completely Abandoned.

A special from Omaha, Neb. of March
81, says: Because of heavy SHOWS for
the past twenty-four hours, hardly n
wheel has been turning on any railroad
in western Nebraska, and the same
condition applies to districts in Colora-
do, Wyomin" and the Black Hills of
South Dakota. The Southern Pacific
experienced the greatest trouble on
its main line between Sidney and Lara
mie. West bound express trains were
stalled at Hillslalc, Wyoming, until
this morlng and the fast mail did not
succeed III getting away from Sydney
until Tonight, II day late. The east
hound flyer got as far as Red Butte,
Nebraska, yesterday, and then was
run back to Laramie, where it was
Slde.trackcd until today noon. The
Rock Islands east bound limited train
was tied up ut limou, Colorado. Tues
day night, and has not reached Omaha
yet The wcst-bouud fast train was
also stalled at l.mon, trhe,hcr with the
limited trains from Kansas City and st
Joe. 1t Il expected that the rotary
plows will get through the drifts some
time tomorrow. ON the Burlington,
the conditions We're very much the
same. The limited, which left Denver
Tuesday night, got as far as McCook,
Nebraska, where it stuck in n drift.
The west bound train was stalled nt
Holdredge, Nebraska, and the local
trains We're tied up all along the road.
Not train is running on the Black
Hills. Wyoming n Montana division of
the road The Elkhorn only suffered
on its Black Hills lines, and trains he
ing abandoned west of Chandron, Ne
braska. Most of the telegraph lines

The bill Restraining the Scaboard
and Southern from Cutting Rates.
Last fall Judge Hughes, of the United
States Dirstrict Court, setting at Nor
folk, Va, granted upon application of
the Mercantile Trust Company of Bal
timore, an order restraining the Sea-
board Air Line and Southern Railway
from cutting rates. Against that order
IL number OF dcmurrers were entered
and the case has been argued several
times. Friday Judge Hughes sustain
ed all the demurrers and dismissed the
bills and petitions, saying: II must
confess an inclination to the opinion
that on IL proper bill, with proper par
ties, court may put Il stop to II ruin

carried some of their dead with them, but
left on the field ten bodies that they were un-
able to remove. Tho Spanish loss was only
one man killed and one Lieutenant aud
twanty- four privates wounded.
General Velasco sent General Rivera,
Colonel Bacailoa, and Lieutenant Terry. in
charge of two companies of troops, to San
Cristobal. Lieutenant Terry was so badly in
jured, however, that no died on the road.
Speaking to q soldier ut San Cristobal,
General Rivera said that he had been kindly
treated by his captors. He complains greatly
OF the pain of his wounds, but is cool and
self-possessed. He has one bullet still lodged
in his thigh. He il lodged 1T the quarters OF
tho Guardia Civil.
Rivera succeeded to the command in Pinar
del Rio after the murder Of General Maceo.
When Maceo was killed tho Spaniards re-
joiced in the belief that there was no man to
take his place. Rivera. however, speedily
proved that the death of his chief did not
mean the suppression Of the uprising In
Pinar del Rio. He continued In an active
campaign IN which he proved himself brave
leader and coIsummate stra<egist. Under
his command the insurgents have harassed
the Spaniards on every hand, and time and
again inflicted defeat on their troops.
Private advices have been received here to
the effect that O. G. Crosby. the correspon-
dent Of Chicago newspaper, was killed
while witnessing the recent combat at Juan
Criollo, near Arroyo Banco. It Is said that
he was with the insurgents.

CAN'T STOP BREAKS.
Ihey Are Beyond Human Control--
The Worst is Yet to Come.

The latest from Jackson, Miss,
dated March 81, says: 1.-The condition
Of affairs in the Mississippi valley
grows daily more exciting, and it is
probable the worst has not been expert
enced. One or two more big breaks,
one of them 900 feet wide, occurred III
Bolivar county last night and the wa
ters from the last joining forces with
thfee other streams are now rushing to-
wards the south, carrying destruction
to houses, barns, gins, fencing, live
stock, etc. Fortunately, the people of
the delta had taken time by the fore
lock and had either secured their horses
III high places, or had driven them out
to the foothills, where they will remain
till the waters subside. No efforts are
beng made to stop the breaks, they
having gotten beyond human control,
and work III that direction is fruitless,
but every possible energy is directed
towards the preservation and strength
ening Of miles and miles of musy banks
still standing.

John Moulton has for the past few
weeks been intlicting his presence on
Mrs. Ansel Moulton, widow of his
late brother.
On Tuesday of last week he went
to the house and made himself a
nuisance. Mrs. Moulton ordered him
out, but he refused TO 90. Soon after
William Eddy, Mrs. Moulton's hired
man, arrived and Moulton then went
out. He called Mrs. Moulton oppro-
brious names and made reflections on
her character.
Mrs. Moulton then took revolver
went to the door and opened fire on
Moulton, who ran for his life and has
not been seen since.
1t is reported that Mrs. Moulton
had been in communication with the
states attorney, who instructed her
to give Moulton due notice to keen
