| Rome, Dec. 6,-Thirteen anar-
chists wers arrested near Spe zzia
last night after desperate struggle.
The police surprised them at a
meeting while they were in the act
of taking an oath with poniards to
assassinate King Victor Emmanuel.
One of the anarchists and one of
the police were severely wounded.
New York, Dec. 9.-New York
and New England have experience
ed during the past "a hours the
coldest weather for many years. In
this city it was the coldest Decem-
Der in 26 years, the thermometer
registering, as it did in that year, s
above zero. The severity of the
cold was intensified by the fact
that the people were not prepared
for it, the cold wave having de-
scended upon the country sudden
1y and without warning. Then,
too, the scarcity of coal caused
much suffering among the poorer
classes. Every effort is being put
forth to alleviate the suffering, chal-
liable organizations have taken
steps to supply the poor, and the
board Of Aldermen haying devoted
100000 to help along the good
cauee. During the day the rivers
were covered with a heavy mist,
showing a great difference between
the temperature of the air and the
water.
The ccld in the city was mild
compared. with that prevailing in
the northern sections of the state
and New England. At Albany the
mercury fell to 10 below zero, and
in some nearby districts it went
down to 20. The river is frozen ov-
er at Albany, putting an end to
navigation. Dallston reported 80
below. the lowest registration since
1851, and Saratoga felt the grasp
of weather 80 below. In the Adj
rondack region and along the
Champlain Valley the thermometer
regietered between II and 26 be-
low.
Throughout Maine and Con necti-
cnt the thermometer registered
from s to 20 below, a fall in some
places of 40 degrees in 12 hours.
Norfolk, Conn, reported a temper
ature of % degrees below zero, the
coldest in years.

UNDER the HAMMER
BEN TON COUNTY PROPERTY SOLD
FOR TAXES AT SHERIFF's SALE.
Several Bidders We're on II
Hu1akss>
"a Pfoperty-Activity
and Bustle at Blodgett-
Willamette Grange
Celebrates.

The sale of property for delin-
quent taxes occurred at the cen1t
house Thursday forenoon. Several
bidders were on hand and the coun'
ty was spared the necessity of buy
ing all the property. On account OF
the smallness of the delinquent list,
but 8 short time was required In
bringing proceedings to a close.
Contrary to the usual custom in
such sales, it was not the highest
bidder. but the one that bid the
lowest rate of interest that the prop
erty was knocked down to. In
each instance the purchaser bid the
amount of the taxes, and accom-
panied the bid with the interest
rate he would demand in case the
owner chose to redeem the proper
ty. AS a result of the bidding in
this particular, some Of the proper
ty went with 10 interest, John
Smith having purchased a piece on
that basis. Aside from this bid,
the interest rates ran from six to
10 per cent. All that the county
bid in is at 10 per cent, SO that 10
per cent. interest will be required
In case owners elect to redeem such
property as it bid in. Ten per cent.
is the highest rate allowed under
the law, by the new arrangement.
The sale was phenomenal in one
particular, in that it is the smallest
list ever sold in any county in the
state at delinquent sale. 1t is al
so the first sale of the sort in the
ssate this year.
