WORST BLIZZARD OF THE SEASON.
Wisconsin and southern Michigan
Feeling Its Fury.


Feeling Its Fury.
Milwaukee, March 6.--The worst bliz-
zara of the season has been raging
all night and day, the snow, however,
changing to sleet. None of the steam
ers left port last night, as the harbor
is icebound. One of the Pere Mar
quette line steamers is fast in the ice
about quarter of Il mile from the en-
trance to the river. 1t is reported that
10 or 20 passengers are on board. The
vessel Is not believed to be in any dan
ger. as the ice is of a slush variety.
Specials from other points m the state
report the most severe storm of the
winter.
Detroit, March 6.-For the second
tie within week southern Michigan
is in the grasp of furious snow
storm. Trains into Detroit are from
one to twelve hours late, and similar
conditions are reported generally
throughout the region affected by the
storm. The car ferry Great Western,
which transfers Wabash trains across
the river to Canada, has been aground
on a shoal for five hours. Aboard the
boat is the st. Louis limited passenger
train. The local snowfall yesterday
was 91s inches, making a fall of 80
inches in six days, more snow than
mas fallen in any one month since 1878.

NEARING
THE END.
Lawless Damage Suit May
Reach the Jury This
Afternoon.

The damage suit of Lawle SIS ad.
ministrator VS.. the Pusey and Jones
Company is drawing to Il close.
Yesterday afternoon the defense
examined nearly all its witnesses
! and made a strong defense bv
them.
John ]. Jones, an expert rigger.
Richard Miller, Michael Kava-
naugh and James keenan,. All
gave testimony to the effect that the
derrick was safe.
Captain Edwin Kershaw, who
has been. with the Jackson and
Sharp Company for thirty years,
and is now superintendent of the
shlpyard, gave expert testimony
concerning derricks. He said al
most every shipyard had in use der
rlcks similar to the one in question.
He considered the derrick safe for
lifting such weight as the boat
frame, and said he had holsted
heavier weights with Il similar der
rick many time. In cross-cxam-
nation Captain Kershaw said the
effect of hoisting with the derricks
he used would be to lessen the.
weight by one-half on account of a
slight difference in the rigging.
The breaking of the boom was
purely an accident. He could give
no explanation of why the Jaws
broke. In hosting, the weight
would be on the end of the gaff
with an in-pressure to the mast
The boom pressure would be on the
collar. not on the Jaws. Captain
kershaw said he certainly differed
with an expert who would say one
third of the weight was on the Jaws.
elisha H. Fowler was a very
positive witness and his testimony
excited considerable amusement.
He has been employed by the
George w. Bush and Son S Com
pany for fifteen years, and has
charge of derricks.
lie said the derrick was safe.
Hiram Corbit said he held the guy
rope at the end of the gatf. He said
Schofield was at the winch, and
later said Scho!ield held one OF the
guy ropes on the frame.
Stephen S. Cook said he saw men
lifting frames for the same boat
several days befors the accident.

CERTAIN Republicans believe in
keeping up the division in the party.
In order topunish an improper act
they are willing to defeat the party
and allow the Democrats to fill the
Offices for a score of years to come.
The great mass of Republican
voters are heartily sick OF such a
vindictive course. but it seems they
are powerless to prevent it, If it
is impossible to unite on the candi-
dates tor governor, lieutenant gov
ernor and congressman, we hope
that the party in each Hundred
shall unite on the local candidates
and try to elect them. The strug-
gle for delegates TO the National
Convention should not be carried
into the selection Of candidates tor
the Levy Court, Inspectors and
Road Commissioners or even men,
bers OF the Legislature 1t there
Is not a union Of this kind there
will be little use Of holding an cleo
tlon, as hundreds of Republicans
will not take the .ouble to get reg
istered and let the dlshonor of de-
ieat rest on the he ads of those who
make conditions to render union
OF the party impossible.

strikes during Cleveland's second

Men had noworll and consequently
nothing to strike tor. We depreci-
ate strikes. but at the same time
like to see the working men receive
enough wages to live upon decent.
ly. AS our Peace friends counsel,
it weald be much better for the men
