ONT PHOENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY MARCH 10, 1899
Severe storms In the Western States.

Storms of unusual severity have been
raging throughout Colorado and Wyoming
during the last few weeks. Traffic on
nearly all the railroads has been brought
to standstill, and in many places there
has been grave danger of famine on ac-
count of the blockade. There have been
only four days out of the past So on which
it has not been showing and blowing in
the vicinity of Leadville Col. Around
Twin Lakes the snow is six feet deep on
the level, and in places for miles it is
heaped to height Of 20 feet. The South
Park and Blue river railroads havelbeen
abandoned on account of the terrific storms,
and the towns along these lines are prac-
ticaly isolated from the outside world. All
trains on the Wyoming division of the
Union Pacific were at a stand still Monday
although the tie-up on this road will be of
short duration

A Boston Minister Locked Out.

The troubles in the Warren avenue Bap-
fist church of Boston eliminated Sunday
in the refusal of the standing committee to
allow the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Joseph K
Dixon, to conduct services. When Mr..
Dixon arrived at the church at the usual
hour for services he and his adherents
found all the doors locked and barrcaded
and this notice had been posted on the big
door at the main entrance: "There will be
no services in the church today. By order
of the standing committee of the society "
In spite of the rain large crowd gather
ed filling the streets on two sides of the
church. The Rev. Mr.. Dixon decided to
hold brief services in the open air. He
and two deacons friendly to his side of the
controversy stood on the church steps.
Brief prayers were said, and the audience
Joined in singing hymn. The pastor and
some of the assembly stood in the rain with
their hats off. Another open-air meeting
was held in the evening. The trouble in
the church arose over a difficulty between
DR.. Dixon and his wife, who has sued a
woman now in Worcester for $40, 900 dam
ages for the alleged alienation of her hus-
bands affections

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Prosperity at CIaremont.

The wave of prosperity deluged Clare
mont last week when orders were received
for the Monadnock mills to start up every
idle loom at once on plain sheeting. Some
200 extra hands will be given employment,
which is likely to be of long duration. The
quilt looms of the mills have been running
at full capacity all winter, but the increase
makes a general feeling of content. The
Sullivan Machinery company, which is
working overtime and employs a great
amount of skilledi labor, has shipped to
South Africa one of its largest diamond
drills, for prospecting in the gold reefs. 1t
is equipped with tubing and is built to bore
into the earth one mile, the hole tapering
from three and three-fourths inches at the
surface to two and three-fourths at the
depth of mile. The operator of the drill
can draw out, at any desired time, stick
of the boring, to determine the nature of
the formation through which he is work
ing. The drill has been two months in
building, and is the second of the size pro-
duced by this company.

Two women were fatally burned in Bos-
ton Saturday in fire which occurred in a
four-story building on Dover street. The
fire was started from a spark which fell
from pipe which one of the women was
smoking, and both were terribly burned be-
fore the flames could be extinguished. The
women were taken to the Boston City hos
pital where they died in few hours The
damage to the building was slight.
An urgent message for relief was re-
ceived at Cheyenne, Wy, Sunday from
the Cheyenne and Northern train which
had been stalled in the snow for six days
near Iron Mountain. The provisions were
reduced to few beans and little coffee,
and the adjacent ranches were also about
out of provisions. There were 80 persons
on the train. A relief train and 100
shovellers were sent from Cheyenne Sun
day.
The largest pulp and paper mill in the
world is now being built at Millinocket
Me-, on the west branch of the Penobscot
river. 1t will have eight machines with a
capacity of $50 tons of paper daily, and will
employ $50 hands. 1t will probably be in
operation about year from May 1. The
new mill will manufacture newspaper
wholly. The pulp machines will turn out
both ground wood and sulphite pulp. The
company controls $500 acres of land,
upon which there is spruce enough to
keep the mill running all the year round
for 30 years. The mill is being built by a
company of capitalists, representing New
York, Boston and Chicago.

Powder Explosion in France.

A naval powder magazine near Toulon,
France, containing about 90 tons of black
powder, exploded early Sunday morning,
killing nearly 40 peopleI and injuring as
many more. Four of the killed were SOL
diers on guard at the magazine, and the
rest were inhabitants of the surrounding
district. The country within a radius of
two miles was almost swept bare, houses
being destroyed, trees overturned, fields
devastated and covered with black dust
At towns five miles distant windows were
shattered and doors broken in. A vehicle,
moving along road near the sea, was
lifted bodily into the water by the force of
the explosion, two of its occupants being
drowned. The explosion, which was of
sufficient force to produce a slight fall of
rain, was supposed to have been caused by
chemical decomposition of the powder.

Died Alone I'm the Mountains.

The body of E, H. Eads, brother of
the famous engineer, Buchanan Eads, who
designed and constructed the bridge across
the Mississippi at st. Louis and constructed
the Eads jetties at the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi, was found last Friday evening
in his cabin up Mining Gulch, eight miles
from Elliston, Mont. He was 20 years old
and had evidently died of exposure OF
some natural cause. He lived alone in
the mountains, short distance from the
summit of the Maine range, where he had
prospected for gold a number of years.
He had few friends and was regarded as a
hermit by those who knew him.

Another Blizzard.

A blizzard with 5.2 inches of snow, gales
from the northwest that ran as high as
81 miles an hour, traffic blocked and wires
down, street cleaning department crippled,
were the conditions which prevailed in
New York Tuesday. The total snowfall
for the winter is 81 inches, twice as great
as that of last winter. Tuesdays spring
weather of wind and snow was one of the
worst of this remarkable whitehall the
more so because it was absolutely unex-
pected. Monday had been beautiful day
with the rising thermometer, bright sun
shine and bracing air. The storm extend
ed along the Atlantic coast as far south as
Virginia and was severer along the coast
than in the interior

The Emperor Williams Desire TO be
Friendly,

1t appears to be well understood in Ger
many that the Emperor appointment of his
brother, Prince Henry, TO the command of
of the Asiatic squadron at Manila in place of
Admiral Won Diedrichs who has been with
drawn from the command, is distinctly an
act of friendship toward the United States.
A high official of the German navy de-
partment has informed the Berlin CORE
spondent of the Associated Press that this
appointment had been considered for
months past, and was finally decided upon
as being the most available, the emperor
desiring to show the American people that
he is thoroughly friendly to them, knowing
that Prince Henry is popular in the United
States.
When this official was asked whether
the appointment was equivalent to the dis
grace of Admiral Won Diedrichs, he said :
Not exactly. If Admiral Won Diedrchs
had shown more tact last summer before
Manila, it would undeniably have been
productive of good results all round. The
German government, unfortunately, was
advised too late of a number of occur
rences before Manila, none of which were
really important, but they showed grave
want of tact upon Admiral Won Diedrich's
part. The main trouble was that Admiral
Won Diedrchs was insufficiently informed
regarding international naval usages in
such delicate situation. Consequently
he continued naval movements, drill and
searchlight practice, as if elsewhere than
in blockaded port, thus arousing distrust
upon the part of the Americans"
This news is considered important, as
being the first German official admission
that there had been trouble between the
Germans and Americans in Manila bay.

Poor Outlook for Dawson.

A letter from Dawson City says that the
first instalment of reindeer belonging to
the United States relief expedition arrived
there Jan, 6, in charge of the Lapland
herders. The last days run was 60 miles.
Large numbers of the reindeer are said to
have been slaughtered by the Indians, who
mistook them for wild game. The remnant
will be driven to Circle City. The business
outlook for Dawson is most unpromising
Hundreds of people are migrating to more
congenial chimes, and the retail traders
complain that they have more outfits Of
fered for sale than purchases sought. Even
the saloons and gambling houses are re-
ported to be making no profits. No new

Great Reduction In Transatlantic Rates

Great Reduction In Transatlantic Rates.
The transatlantic steamship companies
have lately been making great reductions
in their passenger rates to Europe. At
present first cabin passage can be obtained
on the best ships of the best lines for little
more than half the rate of few months
ago. The Hamburg American, Cunard,
White Star and American lines have cut
their first cabin rates from 500 to $50, $50
and $780, while the Atlantic Transport com
panv has reduced its first-class fare from
$50lto S25. Many of the smaller lines also
have made large reductions. Most of the
companies have at the same time extended
beyond: April l their winter season in
which regular fares are below those pre-
vailing in the summer season, and this adds
to the extent of rate slashing.

The President NOminates and the Sem
ate Confirms HIm---He Raises the Adj
miraI's Flag Over the Olympia.
The President sent to the Senate last
Friday the nomination of George Dewey
to be admiral of the navy and it was
promptly confirmed. In anticipation of
the signing of the bill by the President,
Secretary Long had prepared commission
nominating Rear Admiral Dewey to be ad
miral. When the President had signed the
bill he signed the nomination. By the
Presidents direction cablegram was sent
to Admiral Dewey informing him of the
action taken. Secretary Long and the
President both cabled their congratulations
Saturday morning Admiral Dewey raised
his flag as admiral on board the Olympia
and was saluted by the guns of the forts
of the foreign warships, the British cruiser
Narcissus, and the German cruiser Kaiserin
Augusta, and by the American ships in
port.
The grade of admiral was created for
Farragut and to it Porter succeeded.
With his death it lapsed, and it is now re-
vived solely for Dewey's benefit. This
promotion makes Dewey not only the senior
naval officer, but also gives him higher
rank than any army officer. 1t increases
his pay from $4,000 to $13, 800 year. Had
he remained rear admiral he would have
been retired next December on three-quar-
ters pay. AS admiral he remains on full
sea pay as long as he lives.
