Tn the Embracs of the Ice King.


Glacial conditions prevailed yesterday
morning. and many people we're AFRAID
to tempt providence, and renamed IN
doors Those who went into the streets
had no little trouble in keeping upon
their feet. as ice was everywhere. On
some pavements solid sheets existed
which were as smooth as glass, while
the streets paved with cobblestones we're
suggestive of numberless vessels OF glass
ware inverted. 1t was dangerous walk
ing on the sidewalks and more so on
some roadways, especially where there
were inclines. 1t vas not so much a
question of "Where am | atT' as
"Where will l be at?" Occasionally
pedestrins on psvements would begin
to slide toward the curb, and with
nothing save air to clutch would move
with extended arms in the direction OF
gutter. Many had falls, and some are
suffering from bruises.
The rainy conditions of Saturday
passed away during the night and the cold
and brisk northwest wind which follow
ed caused a decided fall of the tempera-
ture. By daybreak yesterday morning
the mercury was down to g degrees
with ice everywhere. The roofs of houses
as well as the streets resembled glass,
while window panes had been rendered
OPAQUE by the frost king. 1t was biting
cold without and but few cared to ven
ture in the streets. The younger gen
elation. however, as the sun rose higher
in the heavens brought out sleds and
skates and seemed to enjoy their sur
roundings. The churches had but
meagre congregations with morning and
fewer at night from the fact that people
were afraid to venture out. There were
no electric lights, but the heavens were
clear and Lunar beames produced enough
illumination.
The river, which had previously been
full of ice except in the track made by
the steamers. was solid sheet at an
early hour yesterday morning, but the
Norfolk steamer Newport News later
broke her way through it. The track,
how ever, soon froze over, and in the al
ternoon the Baltimore steamer West
moreland "a side-wheeler) arrived here
from Washington on her way to Baiti
more. She, however, returned to Wash
ington, it being impossible to force her
through the thick ice below this city.
The steamer Calvert left this morning
for Baltimore.
The steamer Newport News left here
last night on her way to Norfolk and
later the steamer Wakefield arrived from
the lower river.
The steamer Norfolk arrived up
shortly after seven o'clock this morning.
Capt Posey says he encountered ice
from BIackistone's Island up. The most
difficult places the steamer experienced
were from Maryland Point to Fort
Washington.
The Washington ferry line is closed
temporarily by the ice.
The temperature rose slightly. To-
day, although pedestrianism has been
almost as difficult as that of yesterday.

DIsPEYsARY GHT.-The election on
the dispensary question, to be held for
the town of Manassas on the 18th instant,
bids fair to be one olinterest. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the town is pretty
evenly divided on the question of having
dispeqsary. Both sides have held sew
eral meetings, all of which have been
well attended. The meetings of the dis
pensary faction have so far been held in
The Episcopal Church and NicoPs Hall,
while the uon-dispensary element arc
holding their gatherings at the Manassas

not being waged against the bar-rooms
by the churches, for there are prominent
members of several of the latter using
their influence in favor of the former.
