NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The fearful
storm which prevailed all day yesterday
and last night has increased in violence,
and, together with the snow, which has
drlfted in many places, has almost para
lived traffic. Traffic on all the railroads
have been delayed five hours by the
storm.
The steamer Fuerst Bismarck, which
was to have sailed today for Medtterra-
mean points, will not sail until tomor-
row on account of the storm.
None of the Atlantic liners from Great
Britain and the continent, that regularly
arrive here at the end of the week, have
yet been cited.
There is no doubt that large feet of
steamers have arrived in the vicinity of
Sandy Hook, and are waiting outside
the blizzard to pass. The Marine OBJ
server laconically reports nothing but
blizzard"
Mary Goodwin, of Brooklyn, aged 81
years was frozen to death Sunday.
An unidentified woman was frozen to
death in a hallway on Forty-seventh
street, in this city on Sunday. She was
thinly clad and had evidently sought
shelter from the storm.
Fears are entertained that Mailcarriers
Palmer and Hawkins. of the New York
Office, have been drowned. The two
men left Hart's island fer City island on
Thursday morning to deliver the mails.
They were in small boat and the high
wind that was blowing and the floating
ice made it i'm possible for them to con-
troll their craft. Six men, in larger
boat. who attempted TO rescue them
were unable to do go, and it is feared
that the light boat was carried off into
, the sound and perhaps crushed and
overturned.
On Saturday, when the the thermom-
eter was 81 below zero, measurements OF
the Brooklyn bridge were taken of the
trusses and other parts to find out what
the contraction had been. In compar-
ing these figures with those taken in
July, when the thermometer was 90
above, it was found that the difference
was fourteen and half feet.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The phenom-
email weather of the past week culmi-
mated in snow storm today, which
broke all records. The temperature rec
ord was smashed last night, when the
thermometer went to 15' below zero, and
a new snow record was also established.
Business in all departments was almost
at standstill, less than half the force
reporting. At IL O'Clock the treasury
department dismissed it's clerks and
other employees for the day, and other
dismissals, it is said, will follow.
The paralysis to all kinds of business
is the worst since the blizzard of March,

THE poetic illusions with which AL
fred Austin, Kipling, Swim burue and
others have attempted to give vent to
their patriotism and their admiration
of Tommy Atkins and his heroic con-
duct in South Africa have been follow
ed by flood of verse In parody of the
celebrated poets efforts that has fill
ed the radical press of England. The
following lines, commentary on the
queens expression of sympathy for
the dead and wounded soldiers and
their families, is fair sample Of the
stuff that is being turned out by the
ultra-radical journalistic mills:
"Wire in Britons. Remember the pay,
II you only get wounded it's eightpence a
day;
But if. as most likely, you'll lose your own
lives,
The workhouse will take all your kids and
your wives.
Wire in Britons. Hath not the queen said
Her hearts bleeding for you, ye wounded
and dead:
Just think of the glory just think of the
pay,
The Jump for the kids and your eight
pence day.
'Just think of the glory of losing leg,
An eye, or an arm, or even head;
Such trifies as these are only a part
OF the pain which is felt by your queen
bleeding heart"

friction or accident, and enables our
army at the end of the rainy season to
take the offensive in several columns.
1t is gratifying to know that five
sixths of the men enlisted within the
last year are of native birth and rank
high in point of intelligence. The
physical standard may be judged from
the fact that the rejected recruits last
year numbered 147, $3.50. No less than
1895 of the recruits have served in
the army before.

AN important decision, of interest to
every Ell Paso man, has recently
been given by the Michigan supreme
court in q suit brought by mill owners
who had maintained dam across
river for water power for mill pur-
poses, above which dam were two lakes
that were in the river channel. These
lakes, says The Dsnver Tim 1T =
the defendants undertook to
deepen and so cut off the water supply
and destroy the power for portion of
the year. In disposiBg of the case the
supreme court said that the complain
ants have the right to have the water
flow naturally without being accelerat-
ed Cor impeded, except to the extent
that the concurrent rights of the up
per riparian proprietors may
affect such result. and that
in so far as the use of the stream above
results in inconvenience or impedes
the use of the stream by complainants.
The circuit judge was of the opinion
that the flow of water would not be
diminished by the deepening OF the
river, but the supreme court thought
it clear that by deepening the channel
the water will be carried off more
rapidly than it now is. Indeed, If it
was not expected that this would be
the result of the improvement, the
Justices were'at loss to understand
why the improvement was undertaken. |
The latter, therefore, reversed the de-
cree of the court below, dismissed the |
and enjoined the proposed |
deepening of the river.

that the populace is unappreciative OF
fidelity on the part OF public officials to

the history Of some Npod officer to whom

charge Of popular ingratitude toward ex-

tion as long as he desired! Evidently
OF the voters OF his city is found In the
further statement that his whole

OF Macon man whose thoughts are
centcred on the growth, the progress, the
bright future of his city has no time to
give to personal politics. no ambition or
selfshness OF ward politicians TO advance,
no favoritcs to play, no improper pur-
poses to subserve. When a community
finds such diEinterested, broad guaged
and patriotic official IL usually binds itself
to him with hooks OF steel, so to speak,
and though thousands OF dollars are ex-
pended" by ambitious rivals, II ia without
shaking public confidence or respect In
and for the faithful officer
There is no questioning the fact that
fidelity to the publics rather than to
personal or class interests pays In the case
OF any official. and the very rarity OF such
distinguished services and disinterested-
ness as those of Macon's lamented mayor
only the more certainly insure the ad :
miration and the gratitude OF the people.
No man can do more for city's pro-
gress than the mayor. In proportion as
he gets away from personal, or ward or
class politics and devotes himself with
an bipartisan and strictly ousiness-likc
fidelity to the great interests of the peo-
pie as whole. in that proportion may we
anticipate the growth of the prestige and
the expansion of the paramount CONNER
c!al objects OF the community.
