The shooting and killing at Laurel
the other day was one of those de-
plorable things that every honest
man regrets to hear Of. Bonner, SO
far as the Progress knows, was an
honest man, and bis assailant had
always borne the reputation of being
one Of the best citizens of Sanders
vile. But it seems that he had
something against Bonner and he had
made it mp in his little mind that he
was going to shoot it ont if it took
sli the pistols and fire crackers ship
ped to Laurel. Therefore he came
down from Sandersville and shot
Bonner and then Policeman Bounds
shot him, which be had no right IN

right to kill another unless he does sc

Ogden Wins.

Omaha. Feb. 1S.-Otiicals of the
Union Pacific road have decided ad-
yerSely 10 the proposition of Il commit
tee of the Salt Lake Commercial Club
to have that road build its cutoff
across the southern instead of the
northern end of Great Salt Lake.
The committee had Il meeting with
the officials last week, but final deciS-
ion has been withheld pending the re-
turn to this city of President Burt. Ii
is explained by the company that the
northern route will cut off siNty-scvcn
miles on the tranScontinental line. and
that for this reason the road would
not be justified in running its main
line via salt Lake. The Oregon Short
Line and Central Pacific connections
will continue to be made ut Ogden.

STORl1S IN THE EAST
NEW YORK SUFFERS THE WORST
Very Heavy Snowfall Accompanied
With Great Winds,

New York. Feb. 1.-THE eastern
part of New York state from this city
to the Candian border, was swept by
blizzard such as pad not been eXper-
fenced for fourteen years. Up 10 mid
night reports showed thai sixteen
counties had received in force the eff
frcts of the gale and the accompany
ing fall Of SHOW.
New Jersey suffered from heavy
snow and accompanying hurricane.
Pennsylvania was covered with
snow but the storm abatcd toward
night.
Connecticut felt the force of the gale
and Il snowfall of eight inches was
piled in huge drifts, greatly impeding
traffic.
Tie sixteen counties of New York
which suffered worst were Duchess,
Orange Ulster. Albany, Schoharie,
Schenectady. Montgomery. Saratoga,
Essex, Columbia. Rensselaer,, Wash
ington. Clinton. Oneida and Chemung
Thus it vii be seen that all the eastern
tier of counties caught the storm and
that it did not extend to the western
portion of the state although it was eN-
pectcd there before tomorrow.
There is Il sameness about he re-
ports from the upstate towns. Any
where from four to eighteen inches of
snow. wind blowing at hurricane rate.
drifts from six to. in one instance.
twenty-five feet deep, are among the
features. while there is iteration and
reiteration of delayed trains, impeded
or wholly abandoned trolley service
and impossible country roads.
The latest reports indicate that the
t., 70, II, t;,
and in many places the snow has
ceased falling.
New York City has borne the brunt
of the tierceSt snow storm that has
struck this section of the country since
the great blizzard of 1888. Beginning
soon after midnight. the storm in
creased rapidly until by daybreak the
whole city was completely showed un-
der. The rising force of the gale piled
the snow in great drifts that for some
time almost suspended traffic except in
the main thoroughfares. where the ear
tracks were kept open only by the con
stant use of SnOwploW< and sweepers.
Communication between Manhattan
and Brooklyn was subject to long de
lay. The ferryboats with difficulty
made trips across the ice-choked riv-
ers. and the work of tugboats. lighters
and shipping generally was almost at
standSlill. So heavy was the SHOW
fall that the loading of vessels was
stopped. it being. impossible to keep
the matches open.
Two steamers which arrived during
the night struggled as far rs Qunran-
tine, where they came 10 anchor. Sev-
eral steamers are supposed to be off
Sandy Hook waiting for the storm to
abate before attempting to enter the
port.
Tonight the local weather bureau re-
ports that the worst of the snowfall,
which began to abate in the afternoon.
is probably over. The fall up to 3
o'clock this afternoon WAS 9.3 inches

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by const-
tutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
infamed condition Of the mucus lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is infiamed
you have rumbiing sound or imperfect hear
ing. and wheE 1t is entirely closed deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucus surfaces.

CROSSING POLICEMEN
UNDER CIVIL SERVICE
Mr.. Macfarland Favors a
Test of Qualifications.
MANY APPLICATIONS ON FILE
Present Members of Railroad Force to
Escape Examination-An Eligible
List Will Be Kept by District.

At the instance of Commissioner II. B
F. Macfarland, the District Board has
determined that hereafter the railroad
crossing policemen shall be appointed
Z after a special civil service examination,
TO test their qualifications for the posi-
tion.
Since the death of Commissioner Ross,
Mr.. Macfarland has had supervision over
the Police Department. and he has
reached the conclusion that the terms
of the appointment of the crossing po-
licemen should be the same as those OF
the Metropolitan Police Force. of which
they form part.
Must Pass Examination.
With view TO this end Commissioner
Macfarland offered motion to the Board
that hereafter applicants for appoint
ment as railway crossing policemen shall
pass the examination conducted by the
United States Civil Service Commission
for members OF the Metropolitan Police
Force, receiving an average of not less
than 20 per cent. after having met the
physical requirements of the board of
surgeons.
The physical standard under this or
der will be the same as for members
Of the regular force. The applicants will
be required to be at least five feet eight
inches in height, and of appropriate
weight, in full physical health and vigor.
and between the ages of twenty three
and thirty-five. The requirements as to
moral character and personal courtesy
will remain as at present.
The railway crossing policemen now
on duty will not be required TO pass the
examination. But there are some 1.20o
applicants whose applications are on file.
and any of them who desire to be con-
sidered for appointment hereafter will. If
the order be made, be required to pass
the examination prescribed. An eligible
list will be kept.
Policeman Found Guilty.
Private Samuel L. Browne, OF the po-
lice force. has been found guilty by the
trial board of conduct unbecoming an
officer, and on the recommendation of
Major Sylvester, the offender will be Sc
verely reprimanded. The policeman
the District blank forms of pay vouchers
and indorsed them in full payment of
the amount which would be due him as
salary for the month of July, and then
conveyed one of the vouchers to E. Held
enheimer.
When the vouchers became due they
were not paid and could not be collect
ed. for the reason that Private Browne
had given duplicate order for said pay
ment to his father. who procured the
money from the lieutenant of the Eighth
police precinct.
Another paper reached the Commits
sioners yesterday from the police trial
board, and on ii Major Sylvester recon-
mended that the finding of guilty in the
case of Private W. ]. Trussell, charged
with gross neglect of duty, be approved,
and that the officer be removed from the
police force. This the Commissioners
approved.
The specifications held that Trussell
failed to patrol his beat on the night of
September 8.
