COVERED WITH SNOW.
Further Progress to the Klondike Cannot
be Made by Thousands.

turCher Progress to the klOndike Cannot
be Made by Thousands
San Francisco, Sept. 21.-A telegram
from Hal Hoffman, dated Juneau, Sep
TENDER ID. says:
1.-The first snow storm of the season
swept over the mountains last night,
which is one indication that the same
tt ing is likely to occur at any time or
likely to continue indefinitely. Small
boats which arrived here to-day from
SkaguaY report that the snow fell one
and half feet deep on the Skaguay trail
This means that further progress can
not be made on that trail by the stag
gering thousands and that the establish
ment of winter quarters must be begun
quickly, where not already under way.
The slippery, sliding snow will render it
almost impossible to make any progress,
to say nothing of the drifts that pile up
from the winds. The SNOW storm may be
said to stop further progress over both
Dyea and Skaguay, unless such an I'M
precedented thing rs spell of dry, calm
weather comes
Already the indications begin to bear
out the statement made four weeks ago
that the trails to Klondike would be
marked by collapsed tents and the skele-
tons of the unwary and venturesome.;

SIX CHlLDREN CREMArEp.
Negro Parents Locked Them, and Burn
ing Lamp in One Room.

~'>o-O ~%SSN>SSA u DuEu-
ing Lamp in One Room.
Columbia, S. c., Sept. 21.-Ahoiocaust
Of six children, ranging in age from to
Z years. occurred in Abbeville county
Sunday night.
AS is THO custom with negroes, Andrew
Smith on starting to church with his
wife locked the children in room of his
house, leaving kerosene lamp burning.
1t is supposed that in. trying TO make IA
brighter light, the lamp was overturned
or that 1T exploded ABOUT 10 O'Clock
people living on the same plantation saw
bright light in tho. house, aud heard the
children screaming in pitiful manne~.
Prompt efforts were made to save the
little ones, and the doors were cut down
with axes, but fire and smoke met the
rsscuers ut every point, and in few
minutes the voices of the children were
hushed in death.
The building burned to the ground,
and the bodies Of the children lay in one
charred heap. Four OF the children were
Smiths, and the others had been left
there for companionship. by a neighbor,
who also went to church.
Word of the disaster was taken to the
parents at the church. and the meeting
broke up amid heartrending lamenta-
tions.

CHUIKsHANK ARRAIUNED.
Accused of Swindling Lady Randolph
and Others

London, Sept. 2l.-J. IT. I. Cruik-
shank, captain in the British army,
who was arrested a short time ago upon
a charge of defrauding Lady Randolph

wen and Mrs. Leslie, and Il number Of
other ladies of sums of money aggregat-
ing $5O.0h0, and after examination, re-
manded without bail, was again arraigned
in the Bow street police court to-day.
The money obtained by the prisoner
was entrusted to him by the complain
ants for investm ent in an American rail
way syndicate, which it was afterward
learned had no existence.
The ladies victimized were mostly
friends of the prisoner Lord Rollngton,
who was one of the witnesses called to
the stand, testified that brother of Lord
Cadogan, lord lieutenant of ireland, had
introduced him to Cruikshank, and it
was also shown that it was through Lord
Cadogan's brother that Mrs Frewen was
induced to part with large sum of
money for investment in Cruikshank' 8

MUCH STRONGER THAN STEEL.
A Manufacture of Bamboo Fibre to b,
Used in Bicycle Construction.

1t is stated that after some years of
study special agent of the United States
department of labor has perfected anew
material that is lighter and stronger than
steel The material is manufactured
from the fibre of Calcutta bamboo, and
the process of manufacture is secret,
as the patent is pending. 1t is Chained
for the new material that it is four times
stronger than the best steel tubing used
for the manufacture Of bicycle frames
A sledge- hammer blow will not affect
1t in the least, and that 1t will stand
much harder tests than the steel tubing.
1t is lighter by d pound and half than
steel, and will save pound and half
in weight in the construction of bicycle
frames. In addition to this 1t is said
that the cost is much less than the best
quality of steel tubing. 1t is also imper-
vious to water and unaffected by heat or
cold.

Hudson Wakes up 60 the Need Of a
Curfew Ordinance.


The city and county authorities
assisted by Police Justice Bunker
rounded up a grist of youths
ranging in age from the Kinder
garten variety to 90 years. This
was done Wednesday evening.
Each ofthe boys was accompan-
led by his parents or guardian,
and a series of surprises were Ill
store for those who had no inkling
of domestic happenings.
All the boys were arrested for
stealing, although other charges
were lodged against many of them,
APPOINTMENTS were taken in each
case for week in order to allow
the parents an opportunity of ex-
aiming into the conduct of their
children, and defendants released
in their own recognizances.
-
Aside from the even dozen al
ready in custody, the authorities
have t names of other boys
who are utility of petty pilfering
and older boys, young men, who
have greater crimes charged
against them. The thefts run all
the way from fruit and vegetables
to watches, jugs of whisky, fishing
tackle, books and stamps valued
$25, etc. Among the merchants
who have suffered from these
