Berlin February 16.-Last night and throughout the greater part of today ter rife snowstorms have ragged throughout Germany. They have been very fierce along the Baltic coast and in tAe eastern districts of the empire. The street traffic in Berlin is greatly impeded and other cities have suffered seriously, particularly Berlin, Hamburg, Oldenburg, Kiel where a hurricane is blowing, Dresden, Rostock, Brestau, Dantzig, Koenigsberg and Papen- burg.
 Everywhere the trains have been greatly delayed by snow drifts. It Is reported that the upper thine and the Moselle are rap idly rising. fY
 This evening, before the Commercial geographical society, Herr Bremil, who for years studied and travelled as an explorer in the United States, lectured upon the United States as a world power.

James O'Neiil

James OhNeill will be at O'Brien's opera house tonight More than the usual inter- est attaches to his annual tour this sea- son, as he will be seen here for the first time in his interpretation of D'Artagnan, the nery Gascon, in a scenic and spectac- ular production of "The Musketeers." The character of D'Artagnan, dhe brave lad, who only had two loves in his life, the love for his sword and the love for every pretty
 woman he met, is probably the greatest in the whole gallery of romantic creations. MT. Sydney Grundy. the author of this yer sion, mas made an entirely new play out or Alexander Dumas old story. That the play is a fine piece of dramatic construction may be inferred from uae tact that Beer bohm Tree appeared in it for eight con- secutive months at Her Majesty's theater, London, and MT O'Neill was seen in it for nearly the whole spring season at the Broadway theater, New York, last year.

 The comedy is one of the liveliest and best that has been seen in Birmingham, and MT. Collier as Joe Patton, travelling as MT. Smooth, had ample opportunity to bring out sle fun, and did it to perfection. The supporting company was good, and the performance was deserving of a better patronage.

Creston ( la ke

The following notice is taken from a Phil adehphia paper, concerning Creston Clark 8 engagement in that city:
 NO engagement which Creston Clark has ever played in Philadelphia has been so successful as the one which he is now full hlhng at the Park theatre. His presenta- tons, which are new underta kings for him, have caught the public fancy, and the de- sire to see him has been so great that the capacity of the theatre has been tested both matinee and night MT. Clarke enjoys personal popularity in this city, which is second to no one. and his admirers are al- ways anxious to see him succeed in every thing he undertakes. and never miss seeing him dn every role he assumes during an en- gagement, and the fact that he has given two plays new fin hds repertoire, and prom ises a third this week, has been the subject of much qualification"
 MT. Clark will be the attraction at O'Bmen's opera house next Tuesday, pre- senting "Hamlet.'
