Michigan storm swept.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb. g.
The whole of western Michigan is be-
ing swept by terrific blizzard, the
fiercest Of. the year and one of the
worst the railroads have had to con-
tend with in years. Trains from the
north were three to five hours late. and
the big plows are doing their best to
prevent complete blockade which
seemed likely last night, as the storm
showed no signs of abatement, and the
snow was drifting badly. Country roads
are completely blocked by huge drifts,
and the free rural delivery service is
knocked ont for the first time since its
establishment in Michigan.

PREACHERS QUEER BANNER,
The Good Pastor Was Unconscious of
the Article He Conspicuously
Advertised.

The dignity of certain Sunday
school picnic was demoralized the
other day before the scholars and
teachers were well out of town. 1t
was arranged that the majority
of the scholars should go to the
grove on trolley car, and that the
pastor of the flock, several teachers
and the baskets should follow in a
wagon hired for the occasion.
This suggestion was followed out,
and the procession started auspi-
ciously. The wagon was trife in
front, and as the trolley car passed
1T the pupils of the Sunday school
saw what made them fear to look
again. The pastor was sitting on the
seat beside the driver, his broad
brimmed hat on his knee, his head
on the support of gaudy yellow
umbrella that shaded the seat, and
on the umbrella was the inscriptions:
Drink Firewood Whisky"
1t was too late for the scandalized
pupils to expostulate, says the Balti-
more News. They were whisked by
in short order, and so it was not un-
til he reached the picnic grounds that
the good man knew what strange
device the banner bore which he had
upheld for five miles. When the party
returned the sun was still in the
heavens, but the umbrella was furled
and carefully tucked under the seat
to prevent scandal.

Railways still Tied Up.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Feb. 5.--As an
aftermath of the storm of Sunday and
Monday everything is in chaotic
state on the railroads entering this
city, although valiant efforts have been
made to restore order. Partial success
in this direction has been accomplished
by but two roads, the New York Cen
tral main line and the Buffalo, Roches-
ter and Pittsburg. Towns between
this city and Canandaigua are COM
pletely isolated from the rest of the
world. No mail either way has passed
over the Auburn route since Saturday
night. The Rome, Watertown and
Ogdensburg is completely tied up, and
the same condition prevails on the Erie.

pHONOGRApH WITH PICTURES
idea Practically In It's Infancy But
VIII Undoubtedly Some Day
lie Perfected.

Long ago Mr.. Edison suggested
that it would be practicable to util-
ize the phonograph in connection
with pictures, and two or three ideas
of this kind have been patented re-
Gently. One contrivance, originated
by Jerseyman, is nickel-in-the-
slot machine, which is so arranged
that the record cylinder, as it moves
along, disengages series Of photo
graphs. These drop into view one
after another, while the instrument
talks off an entertaining description
of them.
Though the notion, so far as its
practical application is concerned, is
as yet in its infancy, there is no
doubt that before long machines for
combining the motion-picture with
the talking voice will be placed on
the market. One will then have the
advantage Of listening and seeing a;
the same time, which will be very
striking and interesting. The per-
formance of skirt-dancer, as
watched in moving photographs, will
be accompanied by suitable music,
and similarly with other forms of en-
tertainment.
1t seems altogether probable that,
as predicted by the Wizard, phono-
graphic records and motion-potures
of musical and other stage perform
ances will be taken simultaneously
in the not-distant future, so that
both may be reproduced together.

FROZEN TO DEATH.
Adirondack Guide Perished In the
Recent Terrible storm.


MALONE, n. Y, Feb. 5.-William
Martin, well known Adirondack
guide, lost his life in the great storm
of Sunday night. In company with
Edward Rork, Martin started from Nc
Columns Sunday morning to go to Mad
awaski, distance of five or six miles,
intending to return Monday. After
nearly reaching their destination Rork
was taken seriously i'll, and the two
men found shelter in an old camp.
Martin started back to McCOllum's
for help. About this time the storm
was raging furiously, and he evidently
lost the trail. The men not returning
Monday, searchers, headed by Near
thur, started out Tuesday in search of
them. The searchers found Rork try
ing to work his way home through
snow three feet deep, but greatly ex-
hausted and with his feet and hands
badly frozen. Sending him on home
with others, Macarthur went on in
search Of Martin, whose body was
found on Lake Madawaski completely
buried in snow, except that one mitten
and part of one foot We're visible.
Both Martin and Rork were thorough
woodsmen and under ordinary cOndi-
tions would have experienced no diff
Guilty in taking care of themselves.
Martin evidently became lost on the
lake in the binding storm and wan
dered about until he dropped.

When WI Ting Fang the famous Ohm
ese Minister to Washington, irritable and
somewhat forgetful from q severe cold,
missed one day from the front of his cap the
immense diamond he always wears there,
he was dreadfully frightened. A friend

circulation of the blood, stimulating the
skin and lungs to proper action, and 30
dissolving and banishing the malady. Thus

Coast Strewn With Wrecks
From Cape May to Halifax.
The STORM REACHES FAR INLAND.
Besides the Heavy Loss to shipping
Business Is Paralyyed and Rail-
ways BIockaded In Many
states by Deep Snow.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4. - The wind
storm which began Sunday afternoon
and which reached velocity of fifty
miles along the New Jersey and Long
Island coasts caused havoc to ship
ping.
The body of another victim of the
wrecks, the debris from which has
been floating ashore along the Long
Island seacoast during the last two
days, has floated ashore not far from
Smith Point The body was identified
as that of Captain C. l.. Miller of the
barge Antelope, on one of the arms be-
ing tattooed the initials &c. L. NJ
The third barge Is still afloat; at least
it was shortly before sundown last
evening, when it was seen from Shin
necock drifting east of that point eight
miles out and going farther to sea.
Another big blow is looked for 1t
is thought that at least fifteen lives
have been lost along the coast.
Reports from the south Jersey coast
and Delaware river points indicate that
vessels that were exposed to the gale
weathered the storm fairly well. Two
vessels are ashore on Brigantine shoal,
n short distance north of Atlantic City,
n. j., and two steamers are reported
aground in Delaware bay about fifty
miles below Philadelphia. The British
steamer Claverdale, from Asiatic ports
for New York, which grounded on
Brigantine shoal, is still fast.
The schooner Edith l.. Allen, which
went ashore during the night on the
same shoal within a short distance of
the Claverdale is also fast in the sand.
A dispatch from Halifax, n. s., says
that the storm was the widest in
Nova Scotia for years and that ship
ping has suffered severely. 1t is rough
ly estimated that the damage to sail
ing vessels alone will reach $4,000.
