BLIZZARD IN ALASKA.
A Storm Sweeping Over Skaguay
and vicidfty.

PORT TOWNSEND, Dec. 26.-Ad-
vices from the north to-day on the
steamer Rosalie say that a blizzard was
sweeping over Alaska in the vicinity of
Skaguay December 22d, when the
steamer sailed. The thermometer was
lowering around zero, and a forty-mile
gale prevailed. A train from Bennett
with q large number of Yukoners
aboard was showed sin, and a relief
train had been sent from Skaguay.
]. r. Howard, who left Dawson on
December 9Th, reports the trail in a
bad condition, making travel slow,
while mail carrier Carr, who is maxi
ing his twenty-third trip from Dawson,
says that travel on the ice is the worst
in his experience.
VICTORIA, Dec. 26.-News of a big
snowslide on the White Pass and Yukon
Railroad was brought here to-day by
the steamer Tees. A rotary and two
engines were buried by the slide, and
after they were shoveled out the rotary
ran into a rock, knocking out thirteen
of it's twenty knives. The train which
was behind the snow bucking outfit was
not injured.
P. Oregon, one of those who endea-
vored to walk to Skaguay from the
snowbound train, was found uncon-
scious with his face and hands frozen.
The operator at Glacier reported to
Skaguay that the track there was COW
cred for a distance of $50 feet with
from five to twenty feet of snow. Tel
egraph wires beyond Glacier are down.

AARON woLFsOHN.
The Man Who Insured Him Conf
dent He is Dead.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 26.-When S.
A. D. Jones, local agent of the New
York Life Insurance Company, was IN
terviewed to-day regarding the story
from Chicago that Aaron Wolfsohn,
whom he insured for $4,000, and who
committed suicide and was buried here,
had turned up alive in Chicago, he said
that he could not believe the Chicago
story.
Mr.. Jones does not understand how
the thing has been brought about, but
he is positive that the man whom ne
insured as Aaron Wolfsohn is dead. He
has taken every means possible TO
identify the man, and says there is no
doubt. However, he is going East to
make a fuller investigation.
Mrs. O'Heil, the woman who paid for
the funeral of the man who committed
suicide also supports Jones. She was
present when the medical examination
for the insurance was made. She was
very intimate with Wolfsohn, and gave
him $500 to go East with, and corre-
sponded with him while he was there
When he returned she happened to be
in San Francisco, and did not see him
until after he was dead, but she posi-
lively identified the body.
There is only one theory, and that IS
that there are two Aaron Wolfsohns,
and that they look alike. The matter
is a great mystery here.

pulled for the bark. The boat swamped

Great Amount of Damage Along

SEATTLE, Dec. 26.-One of the most
disastrous floods in the history of the
State is raging along the Nooksack
River, in Whatcom County 1t is esti-
mated that already $4,000 worth of
damage has been done to the farms
and buildings in the flooded district,
and still the waters show no indication
of subsiding. Five of seven bridges
over the river have been swept away,
four of them being iron
AS yet the river has not reached pre-
vious high water marks by five inches,
but the destructiveness of the flood is
accounted for in it's suddenness. A
heavy downponr of rain on last We'd
nesday Thursday and Friday, accom-
panied by a warm Chinook wind which
melted the snow in the mountains, is
assigned as the cause of the disaster.
Heroic efforts were made to save the
bridges which were swept away At
Everson several freight carloads of
rock were dumped in the river. but
without avail 1t is believed that
neither rail nor wagon traffic across the
river will be restored within the next
ten days.
