Jacksonville, Fla, February 49,
Unprecedented weather visited north
ern Florida today. Sleet was follow
ed by light snow early this morning
in all of Western and Middle Florida
The lowest temperature was 2 degrees
below zero at Tallahassee, 8 degrees
above at Jacksonville, and a temper
ature of hom Is to 80 degrees in the
orange belt. Wmter-maturing
vegetables were killed.
What damage was done to orange
trees Is in doubt, subsequent weather
being an emphatic factor in determin
ing. In the orange belt the tempera-
lures were not to so low u point as
they haye been. In northern Florida
the weather was unprecedented. The
snowfall between midnight and day
light was followed by sunshine and a
clear sky, but with cold northwest
wind.
Athens, Ga, Feb. i22.--The weather
here was the coolest ever known.
All the enlisted men who were ell
camped here in the fill, have been
m ustcred out and only a few officers
were left. The cold occasioned in
tense suffering here, and there is
shortage of fuel.

overcOat thrown over his head, and his
vest and coat open. Besides his shoes he
had on pair of arctic oyershoes. He had
been in the building all night without
fire and the doors open. McFall was
carried to the freight depot and Drs.
Ford and Irwin were soon present. When
aroused to consciousness he said he had
gone to the warehouse after the show al
! Twins Opera House to look for friend
and feeling dizzy had laid dowr and.

SFyEREST INlTS HISTORY.

Washington, Feb. l3.-With two
inches less than two feet Of snow on
a level and with the mercury hover
ING constantly near zero, the Capital
today was in the grasp of the most
severe blizzard in its history. The
snow fall which began on Saturday
evening continued without cessation
until If o'clock tonight, the official
measurement in fifty hours being
twenty inches on top of the heavy
fall of the few days preceding.
Driven by shigh northwest wind it
drifted in banks of from five to eight
feet in depth, Suspending all traffic,
tying up street car lines, cutting of
the city by rail and causing untold
suffering among the poor. AT mid.
night the weather had cleared and
the temperature moderated.

REBELS EvACCATE.
The rebels immediately moved

THEY FAILED TO ELECT
The Cannon Movement Ran
Against a Snag.
DEFEAT FOR THE CHURCH
1t May Result in the Election o. a Re-
publican Senator by the Next
Lsgislature-Joint Assem-
bly, Adjourned.

Salt Lake, Utah, March 9.-The effort
of the Mormon church to force the
democratic legislature to elect as Unit
ed States senator George Q. Cannon,
a Mckinley republican and four wived
polygamist, was defeated at midnight
after the most sensational politico-re-
ligious struggle in the history of the
state. The result is that no senator
is elected. This failure to elect will
probably give the next legislature to
the republicans, but Gentle and liberal
Mormon democrats infinitely prefer
this result to the triumph of the church
in politics.
The Cannon movement struck an I'M
expected snag this morning in the de-
termined opposition of Congressman B.
H. Roberts and his friends Roberts,
who is also a polygamist, foresaw his
own undoing in Cannons election, foi
he believed it would raise such a storm
in the East that neither he nor Cannon
would be permitted to occupy their
seats He is a church official Of some
prominence and his efforts with the
church leaders and the labors of others
with the Mormon members of the legis-
lature accomplished Cannon's defeat
Cannon's vote crawled up to 90 at
11:30 tonight within 30 minutes of adj
journment. He needed but nine votes
and his election on the next ballot was
imminent. Amid a scene of the widest
excitement and confusion the demo-
Gratis passed a motion for a recess Ct
20 minutes and went into caucus. The
caucus failed to reach any agreement
and the joint assembly resumed session
a 11:5O, with but 10 minutes of the ses-
sion remaining. Two more ballots We're
taken without election and the Joint
assembly adjourned sine die. 1t is be-
lieved that the caucus is all that de-
feated Cannon's election
