YOUNG'S TRIAL BEGUN.


NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The trial of Will
liam Hooper Young, for the murder of Mrs
Anna Pulitzer was begun before Judge
Herrick to-day, after the justice had re-
fused to grant postponement at the re-
quest of the prisoners counsel. The warden
OF the Tombs at first declined to permit
Young to be taken to court on the ground
that the latter was i'll.
The jury finally ordered the accused man
brought into court. When he appeared
Young was in a pitiable condition. His
face was ashen white, his hair and beard
long and unkempt, and his eyes rolling
He collapsed when placed in chair and
then Strengthening up, made an attempt to
address the court, saying: I'm not crazy
now" He was silenced and a conference
was held between court and counsel when
it was decided that the prisoner should be
examined by two physicians. one to be Sc
lected by the district attorney and one by
counsel for the defense. When recess was
called Young either could not or would not
walk and had TO be carried from the court
room
The physicians examined Young during
recess and reported to Justice Herrick in
his private room that the stress of the
trial would not hurt the accused physically.
Young was therefore carried into court and
when Justice Herrick had taken his seat
the examination of the talesmen COM
menced. Counsel for the prisoner asked
the few talesmen IL they had any prejudice
against the Mormon Church, but desisted
when District Attorney Jerome said: There
is nothing in this case about Mosmonism
We do not make any such claims" When
court adjourned three jurymen had been
accepted

KRUGER'S MONEY.
Police Station Fire OF Mysterious
Origin Endangered IL.

Sergeant Crane began to think that his
mental machinery had become unbalanced
when he gazed into a small glass on the
south wall last night at $40 o'clock and
saw reflections of a fire. Feeling that some
thing was wrong with him, Crane got closer
to the glass and scrutinized the surround
ings of the fire and then realized that his
mental machinery was in perfect working
order. Turning round quickly he saw
flames eating their way up the side of the
wall in the captains room. The desk, chair,
locker and carpet were burning. He alarmed
Detectives Kurtz and Lancaster. He then
ran TO the rear of the building for bucket
OF water. The other detectives, thinking
the fire was in the rear of the building
ran with him, and when he started away
with the bucket of water one of the detect
ives grabbed the pail and started toward
the stable. Crane by this time was begin
ming to think of mean things to say of the
detectives when his eyes fell on another
pail of water. With this he ran into the
room and soon had the fire extingushed.
badly burned. In a drawer inside the desk
Captain Kruger had LOCO. most OF IL being
in paper bills. The loss to the furniture is
estimated at $40.
The fire started from a lighted cigar be-
ing thrown into the paper basket under
meath the desk. Captain Kruger left the
office at $50 o'clock. and. as he does not
smoke, he is unable to account for the fire.
After kruger left the Office no one entered
the room, Sergeant Crane said. An in
vestgatton Will now be made TO ascertain
who Is responsible for the fire.

All Business at Chicago Depending on
Telegraph and Telephone Virtu-
ally Paralyxed Yesterday.
RAILWAY TRAINS BELATED
TROLLEY AND OTHER STREET-CAR
LINES BLOCKADED BY SNOW.
No Direct Communication with
the Northwest.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4-The blizzard which
ragged here last night and to-day paralyzed
all business which relied OH the telegraph
and telephone for service. 1t has been
many years since Chicago was so COM
pletely cut off from the outside world.
Wires are down in all directions. There
was no direct communication to-day with
the east, not one telegraph or long distance
telephone line being in working order. The
only workable wires this morning were
those of the Chicago and Milwaukee roads
and one telephone wire into Omaha. No
market quotations were received this
morning from New York. The Associated
Press secured few words OF news in a
roundabout way. Men and instruments
were sent to Hammond, Ind. in the hope Of
establishing communication with the East
and South, but the wires would not work
and the men were recalled.
Nearly a foot of snow fell yesterday and
last night A rain and sleetstorm, ac-
companied by a gale of wind, completed
the havoc. Street car traffic is delayed and
incoming trains are reported late. The
storm continued to-day, hampering the
work of the repair crew sent out in every
direction by the telegraph companies.
Two lives were lost and numerous acct
dents have been reported. David Ramsay,
blinded by snow, did not see a Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul passenger train at
Willow street at D. m. and was struck,
dying soon afterward. Gustave Berg en-
ploye of the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany, was killed instantly by a passenger
engine at Adams street.
Chicago was on the dividing line be-
tween heavy snowstorms north and severe
rain and windstorms south. From the
Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico and
over the Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio
river valleys the elements had full sway
and grasped tightly railroad and telegraph
systems. rendering communication difficult
and in many cases impossible In Chicago
conditions were at their worst. The snow,
heavy and sticky. fell In chunks. In the
downtown district it turned to a dirty
slush. while farther out the walks and
streets were buried under deep accumula-
tons which chung to the shoes of pedes-
TRANS and clogged the hoofs of horses. The
street railways had hard fight to keep UP
with the storms progress and cable and
electric cars crept along at snairs pace
In central Illinois the sleetstorm last
night was the most disastrous in many
years. In Bloomington the danger from
1--we wires became so great that trolley car
service was ordered suspended by procla-
nation OF the mayor and all electric light
companies were directed to shut down until
repairs could be made. Bloomington was
in darkness last night
