HowIing Blizzard.
Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. 5.-The
whole of Western Michigan is being
swept by terrific blizzard, the fiercest
OF the year and one of the worst the
railroads have had to contend with in
years. Trains from the north were
three to five hours late and the biz

a complete blockade, which seems
likely, as the storm shows no signs
OF abatement and the snow is drifting
badly. Along the Lake Michigan shore
the storm is particularly severe. Lu.

with great drifts through which horses
are unable to force a passage. St..

favor of the government against R. E.
Downs, an importer of sugar, in test
case on the legality of an additional
tax on imported Russian sugar under
the provisions of the tariff act of July

says that Sunday afternoon the Rich

been in telephone communication with
Captain Mcconnell, who has reached
Newport, r. I.
The barges, he said, were well out tc
sea at 6 o'clock Sunday night off the
Long Island coast. The rope from the
forward barge parted and the barges
were blown away from the tug. Cap

up the hope of rescuing the men on
the barges until it became too dark

then made for Newport. Captain Nc

The building in which the fire start

section of the city and was about sc
years old. The blaze. which proved
hard one for the fire department to
master, had been gotten practically
under CONTROL when suddenly, with
absolutely no warning, it collapsed

Chief ;Swingley, who was in front OF
the building directing his men, had d
miraculous escape from death. AS the
front wall fell outward he scurried
across the street and fell under the
aerial truck. The truck was covered
with debris and partially wrecked.
and it is to it's sheltering protection
the chief owes his life. Frank Lingo,
driver of the truck, was directing a
stream on the fire from the aerial lad

when the wall fell. A portion of the
debris struck him and he was hurled
through the air to the ground, receiv.
ing probably fatal injuries.
Chief Swingley put his entire force
to work at once in an effort to rescue
the buried iremen, but although the
men worked like demons it was 2:3O
