Weather Bright and Cool.
CHICAGO, June 22.-The second
day of the Republican national con
vention opened bright and cool. Con-
sidering the fact that there is no
great fight, no strife over either can
didates or platform, and no uncer-
tainty over the results, it is consid.
cred remarkable that the delegates
have been able to develop so much
enthusiasm as that demonstrated
yesterday and today.
Delegates Were Late.
The doors of the convention hall
were opened at j. o'clock. Half an
hour later not more than so dele
gates were on the floor. Many OF

CAUGHT IN ICE PACK.
Not an Arctic Expedition but 800
Loaded Freight Cars.

Columbus, o., Feb. 1.-The Ohio Cen
trail, at Toledo, is caught in a condition
such as would not confront railroad
once in twenty-five years.
1t has about eight hundred loaded
freight cars frozen in three and one-half
feet of water.
This peculiar situation arose from the
flood followed by the severe cold
weather.
The cars were standing in the Ohio
Central yards, which are on the east
side of the Maumee, when caught by the
high waters. While they were not need
ed and the water was doing them no
harm, the freight being almost entirely
coal, they were allowed to stand. There
being no wash in the water, the tracks
and the roadbed suffered no damage
The severe cold following has frozen
the cars in from three to four inches of
ice.
Superintendent Harry Speaks, in
speaking of the condition, said that all
the motive power of the entire system
would not be sufficient to move a single
train, SO firm is the strip of ice. He
says the Ohio Central will suffer little
loss, as the cars and coal will not be ap-
probably damaged.
Other roads, however, are not so for
tunate. The Lake Shore has a carload
of beer similarly frozen in. Other lines
which are frozen up are the Wabash
and the c., H. & D., which also have
yards in the same vicinity.
