Denver, Col, Jan. IA special to the
News from Alamo Gordo. N. NJ, says:
Details of the blizzard which swept
over southwestern New Mexico Tues
day and Wednesday are coming in, and
they indicate that it was the severest
storm ever experienced in the region.
The velocity of the wind was terrible,
all roads and trails were obliterated,
and the driving snow made it impos-
sible for travellers to see their way in
the storm. When the storm abated,
wagons which had been abandoned
were found strewn all over the section.
Several fatalities are reported. 1t is
feared that many sheep herders have
lost their lives. Thousands of head OF
stock persisted, and it is believed that
the loss will aggregate over half a mil
lion dollars.

ALL PROBABLY LOST.
Little Hope That Any of Thnse on
Board IlI-Fated Vessel rocked
In 81. Mary's hay survive.

st. Johns, N. f., Jan. 13.-The follow
ing comprise all the details regarding
the wreck in ST. Marys bay thar could
be obtained up TO midnight: The ship
is a two-masied steamer, of nearly
5000 tons, and probably carries a crew
of go, with possibly some passengers.
She went ashore before daybreak on
thursday. striking Ii ledge at the foot
of the cliff, where escape was hopeless.
The crew launched the boats. but prob
ably during the panic some were
crushed against her sides. others being
sMamped. and all the occupants APP
p%arently perishing. The ship was seen
to be on fire by residents six miles away.
Attracted to the scene. they found the
after half of the wreck blazing fiercely,
and the fore part under water. Kero-
sene in the cargo helped the blaze. At
that time only three men were left on
board. Two were on the bridge and
one was in the rigging. Those on the
bridge were safe until about Two p.
m, when they were washed overheard
and drowned, the bridge being carried
away. The survivor soon after left the
rigging, swan to the rocks and twice
endeayored TO get a footing. Failing
in this. he made his way back 10 the
rigging, where be died of exposure dur
ing the night. Many dead bodies are
visible tossing in the surf. Two of
them. thrown up in a cove, cannot be
reached owing TO the heavy sea. One
is thought TO be that of a woman.
There is not the slightest prospect that
any soul on board escaped death, as
the intense midwinter cold would kill
any who escaped drowning.

New York, Jan. 13.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: The bust

there is still much of the usual hesita-

ness was extraordinary and prices have
risen greatly some pause is natural,
though nothing indicates decrease OF

wages to promote increase. Momentary
conditions have grown easier with the re-
turn OF 1900, 600 from the interior during
