RECORD BROKEN The cold of Monday
morning was the greatest of which we have
any record, at least during the last twenty
five or thirty years,
At five o'clock the thermometer registered
-l0;the coolest in the past of which we have
any knowledge was degrees below zero,
this beating the record by two degrees.
A very odd thing occurred here on Sunday
night and was noticed by three different OBJ
servers: at about o o'clock the thermometer
had fallen to degrees above zero; 1t then
began to rise and at II o'clock or 10 two
hours, had risen six degrees, to 10 above; 1t
then began to fall rapidly aud at 1 O'Clock it
had fallen to 5 above and in four hours, or
at o'clock it fell Is degrees, or to 10 below
zero. The fall from 10 degrees above at II
o'clock, to 10 degrees below at 8 O'Clock, 20
degrees in six hoars, is probably 30 unusual
a thing in this latitude that few have ever
seen it A twenty-degree fall in six hours is
nothing unusual, but when it happens. start
ing at but 10 degrees above zero, 1t is a most
unusual happening.
The cold remained about thirty-six hours;
on Tuesday it moderated, the temperature
riring nearly to the melting point in the
shade.
On Wednesday a decided rise came, the
thermometer reaching fifty and the snow
melted rapidly In the streets AMI roads and
sleighing brought TO an abrupt end.

Oh Tuesday evening last about eight
miles east of Long Point, Lake Erie,

Tugs sent out from Port Colburne and
from Buffalo to search for the missing

supposed to have fOundered. The
wreckage includes a part of the Nj

quantity of shingles marked Parry
Sound" from which port the Niaga;n
s;iled for Buffalo. Judging from thu
amount of wreckage that has heer
found the Niagara must have brokenu ~
badly in the storm.
1t is the opinion of lake cap
tains that the boat went down in deel
water about eight miles east of Long
Point, as none of her spars has been
found, and if she had gone down in
shallow water they would be sticking
up. The storm which destroyed the
Niagara was one of the worst that ever
ragged over Lake Erie. The wind was
blowing a gale of As miles an hour.
Even the largest and strongest boats
made for shelter, and it is the opinion
of vesselmen that Capt. McCleary at
run under Long Point, and in doing

storm, his craft going 10 pieces.

London, Dec. Is, 4:45 a. m.-With the

of a probable long siege. Water, how
ever, was still plentiful.
Don't Like Cold Steel.
The Beers fear the British bayonets.
This is illustrated in the full accounts
now arriving of previous sorties. 1t
seems that in Sir Archibald Hunters
sally from L~adysmith to capture the
Boer. guns the British did not carry
bayonets. While they were storming
the Beers, suddenly aroused from
sleep, rushed to the edge and open an
indiscriminate fire upon them. But just
before the British secured a footing On
the top of the hill someone among
them shouted: Fix bayonets and give
them cold steel" At this the Beers
turned and fled into the darkness.

London. Dec. 10.-While SO far as
the actual British advance is CON-
cerned. late dispatches show little
change in the situation. The authori-
ties anticipate from the announcement
that howitzers and cavalry have
reached Gen. Methueu, and that Gen.
Butler has received the heavy artillery
for which he was waiting, that the
advance will no longer be delayed.
News of important battles by both
generals is expected soon.
The fact that len Butler has Or

TAGAL TRAPS AND PITFALLS.
a Horrible Device of the Taaal
Warriors that Has, Luckily, Only
Claimed One Victim.

New York, Dec. ia special to the
Tribune from Washington says: In
hospital reports which have reached
the war department from Manila is
chronicled the first casualty due to
falling into a Tagal pitfall, which con-
tanned the horrible device of bamboo
posts set firmly in the hole and sharp
ened at the top for the purpose of
impaling the unwary. The American
troops have frequntly found such
traps on the line of march, and cspa-
cially in front of insurgent trenches,
but instances have been extremely
rare in which the bamboo stakes were
discovered. Ordinarily the traps have
been simply deep holes in the junglcs,
covered with long grass, and althou n
soldiers have frequently fallen into
t>em, no serious injury has resulted.
