sleet Over southern states.

Telephone and telegraph service over
A wide area of the South was almost
completely crippled by heavy sleet yes
terday. Railroad service also suffered,
and in some towns the lighting and
street car facilities we're suspended. The
tieup was the most cshplete in many
years, and although the telegraph com.
pauies and railroads have large forces OF
men at work, it may be two or three
days before normal conditions prevail,
The storm which covered Kentucky,
Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Indian
Territory, Mississippi, Alabama, Louis
lana and Georgia had prevailed inter-
mittently for three days, and the wires
broke under the accumulated ice. The
tall of snow and sleet, varying from one
to three inches, extended as far north as
Louisville, KY. For several hours At
lanta and New Orleans were cut Oh from
the rest of the country. All wires were
down from Memphis to hatcher and
New Orleans, and the telegraph CON-
panies sent messages for those points to
New York and down the coast, but even
this service was interrupted for time.
Two hundred poles went down IN Mis-
sissippi. In Chattanooga the 'trsets
were filled with broken wires, and line
man WAS killed by live wire. The
lighting and street-car currents were
turned Of to avoid further danger 70
pedestrians and linemen.

account of bis separation from his wife:

'The night came 1t was beautliui

"My but those niggers did sing.

circle with his thumb and forefinger.
"They we're d. black republicans,
everyone OF them; but when we came in
ON those last two lines"
safe within Thy haven guide,
Oh receive my soul at last
the musician flung his hands about an
imaginary keyboard, and then, with the
memory of that night lighting his face,
pressed both hands hard forward, made
his body rigid and swung his head back
wards with his eyes seeing far, far
through the ceiling.
"Nell, sir, that roaring hasn't stop

"But my wife? l had to kiss my
darling through the keyhole, and L

COMMUNICATED.
Why?

Why is it that some people in our
city are allowed to let their hydrants
run all winter, causing ice TO form on
the pavements, and making walking
dangerous? Why is it that many prop
erty holders, living on streets in which
sewers have been laid, have not BEEN
made to tap themY Why is it that the
fine of $40 per day, as provided by law,
has never been collected from theme
Why is it that some persons are COM
PEELED to remove snow from their pave
ments, and Others are allowed to let it
be for the entire winter?
Why is it that boys are allowed to
lump on and of the electric cars on
King street at their pleasure. and in full
view of the police?
WHY is it that certain persons are
allowed to drive up and down King
street at full speed, especially on Satur.
day nights, to the great danger oil
pedestrians?
Why is it that every time there is q
performance at the Opera House, hood
iums are allowed to block up the side
walk, in front of that building, so that
people in passing have to take to the
roadway
Why is it that after the performance
commences, they are allowed to make
such a disgusting noise, that causel
many people to keep away from thai
place of amusement
Why is it that having laws covering
ell of these things, no attempt is made
to carry them out? 7

Memorial Bridge.

Senator Daniel, who is q member OF
the committee on appropriation, hes pro-
posed an amendment to the sundry civil
bill, which provides for the apprs-
priatien of $500, 900 for the erection of
memorial bridge to span the Potomac at
Washington. He said Yesterday he is
not at all certain that he will succeed in
having the appropriation made, but that
ne is going to press his amendment. The
Washington correspondent OF tho Rich
mond Times Dispatch says: While
there are many obstacles in the way OF
the passage Of the bill introduced by
Senator Daniel, appropriating $l25. goo
for the construction of boulevard from
Washington to Mount Vernon, "a distance
of fourteen miles, there are chances OF its
eventually becoming law. The amount
which the bill calls for is the amount
loaned the national government by the
State of Virginia with which to erect
public buildings in Washington when
the seat of government was first located
there. 1t has always been impossible t.
induce the government to settle the claim
though the justice of it is clear. 1t Is
argued by some, however, that Virginia
gave the money to the national govern
ment, and never expected it to be repaid.
Certainly to US ola later and probably
more commercial generation such gener-
esity seems incredible.
