An April Snowstorm.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 5.-The middle
States and the valley of the Ohio were very
generally visited by fall of snow today.
April SHOWS are not unknown in these sec
tons, but they are rare. This one was ac-
companied by biting winds and freezing tenn
peraturss and made the day generally seem
like leaf from a February calendar. Much
damage was done to budding fruit.
The storm centre which caused the snow
formed Sunday night over Texas. Monday
morning il was over the Arkansas Valley, low
temperatures being noted upon the northern
border and temperatures from 20 to 30 degrees
higher upon its southern border.
Monday night it took a southeasterly course
and was central over New Orleans. 1t gath
cred much moisture from the Gulf, and then
made Decline for the North Carolina coast,
where it arrived yesterday morning. From
there it made another rapid jump to the
Northeast, and last night was over Cape Cod.
In many places it assumed the form of a
blizzard, the wind ranging from 25 to 80 miles
an hour.
Dispatches from Western Pennsylvania on
Wednesday night state that six inches of snow
fell that afternoon and night and that a biz
gard was prevailing; there was a change of 400
in the temperature and that fruit and vegeta-
ton were killed.

Narrow Escape from a Serious Fire.

\ large coal oil lamp, suspended from the
ceiling of the Office of DR.. John ;. Matthias,
this city, broke loose on Wednesday mig fell,
exploded and the oil caught fire. The burning
oil was scattered about, and in an instant the
whole room was ablaze. A lounge, newly
covered, and some chairs, medicines and sur
pical instruments were burned and an office
desk almost ruined, while the walls were black
ened with smoke. The doctors son and sev-
eral companions were standing nearly under
the lamp. and the hat and overcOat OF one of
them, Paul Reese, which was on the lounge,
was SET on fire and ruined. The lamp fell on
a chair, and rolled to the floor, and Ed.
Matthias picked it up and threw it out the front
door. An alarm of fire brought out the Fire
Department, which was holding meeting at
the time, and the fire was soon eXtinguished.
The loss on the building amounted to about
sd. 90 and the loss of Dir. Matthias was about
$500. Had no one been in the Office when
the lamp fell there is no doubt that the whole
building would have been considerably dam
aged before the flames could have been eXtln-
ouished

day night, says:
Toward the last bills were rushed through
without anyone knowing what they were, with
roll calls cooked up by the members wac

man answering to his name:
1t was perfect saturnalia of It's kind. and
the more discreet members had 10 arise again
and again and demand that some little idea
of wi at was going on should be given TO the
members All of this time confusion reigned
in the House. members were throwing papers
and pamphlets around in showers and most
of them were apparently paying the very
slightest attention to what was going on.

about the twelve pounds advantage in
that contest is exaggerated Yet even
though McKeever is as light as he says
he is he will meet a tough nut in DAILY.
At all events, there is promise of first
rate scrap when DAILY and MeKeever
come together. Daily is on the high road
to championship honors-if he can keep
up his present pace. McKeever is known
as an experienced boxer and an ambitious
one. He also desires to go further ub
the ladder of fame. He is clever, he is
a hitter and he is game. Why should he
not be a formidable object for the young
err man. with a punch or two to show on
his own account? One thing is tolerably
certain-McKeever will draw out all Da-
Tvs cleverness Possibly he will stop
the aspirations of the young man, who
says he can prove title TO the champion
ship in the class. In other words. some
body may get badly licked. The one OBJ
lection is that the bout will last only
six rounds.
