The Weather and the River.

The rivers surface as far as the eye
can reach is now completely covered
with ice, which has efectually closed
navigation 50 far as sailing vessels are
concerned. The steamers, however,
still forge their way through it. The
Norf;, TX steamer Washington arrived
mn ah, ad of time this morning. She
reported encountering ice from Lower
Cedar Point mp. AT Maryland Point it
was about two inches thick, but from
Fort Washington on it was at least four
inches The steamer Harry Randall
followed in the Washington's track to
this port The b. q o. transfer tug
boat Beaverton is still towing the barge
between the slip at the foot of Wilkes
street and Shepherds, and the Washing

Victim of Sad Accident.

Mr. Isaac w. Rudd is in a critical
condition. the result of two falls yester-
terday within almost as many hours.
While on the postoffice corner he slipped
and fell and was helped to his home on
Fairfax street, near Prince, where he
was put to bed Heapparently soon re-
cuperated and later insisted upon dress
ing and going down stairs. Against the
protests of members of his family he be-
gan TO descend the steps and had reached
the first landing when he fell down the
flight of stairs and against the door at
their base. He was pickedup as soon as
possible when he was found to be in an
unconscious state and DIR. Jones was
summoned. The latter upon examina-
ton found that Mr.. Rudd had been
stricken with paralysis. Whether the
attack had come on while he was ON the
steps or resulted from the fall is I'M
known. He has remained in an uncon-
scious state ever since and his condition
is extremely critical. Mr.. Rudd is one
of our best known citizens. He is a son
of the late Richard Rudd and painter
by occupation. AT the outbreak of the
civil war he was member of the Mount
Vernon Guards, afterwards Company E,
of the Seventeenth Virginia Infantry,
and served throughout the four years
conflict. At the close he returned to his
native town and for short time was
member of the night police force Of the
city when the late james Walsh was
captain. Later he resumed his trade
which he has followed ever since. He Is
a member of r. E. Lee Camp of'Confed-
crate Veterans. Mr.. Rudd has many
friends and acquaintance who will re-
greet to hear of the sad accident which
has befallen him and his present serious
condition.

SENATOR CLAWS GREAT WORK.

The Washington correspondents. ms
we'll as tie Associated Press, agree i'm
giving Senator Clay the main credit
for the defeat of thai section of the
commerce and labor bill which pro
posed to place the Interstate Com
mission under the control of new de-
partment of commerce.
Senator Clay made vigorous fight
against it along the very lines set out
in the Journal. The extent of Sena-
tor Clay's influence in the senate was
clearly shown 10y the promptness and
ease by which he accomplished the de-
feat of section u.
He went to work vigorously and it
WASN'T long before he succeeded in
making Senator Hanna and other lead
ers in the senate see the objection to
this change as he saw it. The result
was refusal on the part of the senate
to concur in the change as proposed by
the house, whereupon the latter reeed
ed from its position, and the Inter
State Commerce Commission is left
undisturbed as t should be.
The people of the entire country
owe Senator Clay vote of thanks for
his efforts ia saving to them intact this
important tribunal If he would now
undertake to enlarge its powers by
giving it more authority to regulate
interstate commerce and to enforce its
DEGREES, the InterS State Commerce
Commission would be well nigh perfect
and Of untold value to the commercial
Interest," of the country.
This 8 not the first time Georgia's
Junios senator has shown his power in
our highest national body, and it is a
source Of qualification to the people of
his state to know thst whenever he
flows the weight Of his influence and
