IN THE GRIP OF A BLIZZARD
The Worst Storm Since 1888 Sweeps
the Metropolis.
Traffic of All Description Sus-
pended and n Food Fam
inc Threatened.

New York, Jan. 4.-The worst biz
gard since 1883 swept over New York
Tuesday night and Wednesday morn
ing. Traffic was badly hampered, and
in some instances completely tied up.
All incoming trains are from n to
two hours late.
Elevated trains are running with
difficulty, and surface lines have been
at a standstill for hours. Hundreds
Of people were unable TO get to work
Wednesday morning and returned to
their homes. The subway was about
the only system in the city working
normally.
A sleet storm Tuesday afternoon was
he harbinger of the blizzard. The
temperature fell rapidly and the streets
soon became coated with ice. A so
mile gale blew up from the northwest,
and the wind sent the falling snow
hurrying along in q binding cloud, pill
ing it up in great heaps on the side
walks and a tracks.
A mild food famine has been threat
ened by the n~On-arrival of milk and
meat trains.
Bakers could not deliver bread, and
the same was true Of coal dealers. The
various precinct commanders sent out
extra details OF policemen during the
night to rescue those who had sue
cumbed to the cold, while the station
houses were thrown open TO the home
less and unfortunate.
Out in the harbOr the ferrybOat Serv-
ice was crippled and the gale blew the
ferryboats about like chips. The early
storm warnings prevented the depart
ure of ships.

The Japanese storm and captured tbs
heights east Of HOuyangshukou, neaI

Russian prisoners report that Gems.

Oyama's army is to be increased to

Trustworthy advices from Port Arthur
confirm the report that Gen. Kondra-
chenko has been killed and that Gen.
Stoessel has been injured by falling from
his horse. Gen. Smilnoff is also reported
wounded.
Russia's apparent willingness to lis
ten to talk of mediation is attributed in
Berlin to the fresh inquiry by France as
TO the terms the car would be willing to
accept in case negotiations with Japan
were undertaken with a view of ending
the war.

The Noted Orchestra Leader Sue
cumbed to Pneumonia at His
Home in Chicago.
Was KNOWN The WORLD over
AS ONE OF FOREMOST MUSICIANS.
His Career Before the Public, Dat
ing From His Tenth Year, Cow
cred a. Period of sixty lenrs-A
Monument to His UntIring Efforts
in Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. AT $50 o'clock
Wednesday morning Theodore Thorn
as, the noted orchestra leader, died
at his home, Bellevue place, from pneu-
mCnia, with which he was attacked a
few days ago.
Mr.. Thomas, who was in his seven
tieth year, was known the world over
as one of the cOuntry's foremost mu-
SicianS. and was known to the masses
chiefly by reason OF his connection
with the famous orchestra which bears
his name, and with which he had been
connected for a number of years.
Born in Germany, October IL, 1895,
young Thomas got his early musical
training under his father, and at the
age of ten made his debut as a violin
ist. The same year he came to Amer
lea, where for several years he main
tanned himself in New York city, first
as a violinist and later as an orchestra
leader.
In 1867 Mr.. Thomas organized the
first Thomas orchestra, which he
il1dIillCiltu uiltlI 1000. III ICOI ~
moved to Chicago, where he organized
the Chicago orchestra the same year,
and in 1893 became musical director
Of the Worlds Columbian exposition,
q position which he filled with great
credit to himself and the exposition.
At different times Mr.. Thomas had
been conductor of the Brooklyn Phil
harmonic society, the New York Phil
harmonic society, director OF the Gin
cinnati college Of Music, conductor of
the Cincinnati biennial music festivals,
and conductor OF the American Opera
Co.
The real beginning in Mr.. Thomas
musical career was through a series
CT chamber concerts in New York be-
tween 1855 and 1872. In 1864 Mr..
Thomas first symphony concerts were
given in New York. .
In 1883 Mr.. Thomas and his Orches-
ira made a t0Ur from New York to
San Francisco, appearing at all of the
principal cities. On his return to New
York Mr.. Thomas conceived the idea
of a permanent orchestra in that city,
but after seven years of endeavor, he
came to the conclusion that Chicago
would be a better place for his future
work.
On December Is, last year, Orches-
trail hall, the permanent home of the
Chicago orchestra, built at a cost OF
more than $500, 600, was formally ded-
icated. 1t is a monument that bears
witness to the untiring efforts of the
dead musician.

SAVED HIS GRANDMOTHER
The Son of an Old St. Louis Fire
Reporter Plays the Hero.
Joseph II. MCuIIagh Hobbs Calamity
Rescucs Mrs. IL. a. Mayer from
Their burning Home.

st. Louis. Jan. 4.-Joseph b. Nc
Cullagh Hobbs, son of the late William
A.. better known as BILLY" Hobbs, st.
Louis best fire reporter" saved his
grandmother from death by fire, which
practically destroyed the family home
at 3:45 o'clock Wednesday morning.
Mrs. II. A. Mayer, 20 years old, the
mother of Mrs. Hobbs, occupied the
rear room on the second floor. She
has been i'll for ten days and almost
unable TO walk. Immediately after
young Hobbs was awakened by his
mother, Mrs. Barbara M. Hobbs, who
discovered the fire in her bedroom, he
ran across the street and turned in
an alarm, using the alarm box key
formerly owned by his father.
Running back to the house, young
Hobbs ran through the smoke and
flames, which spread with alarming
rapidity, to his grandmOther's room.
Picking the frightened old lady W in
lis arms, he carried her down the
stairs, protecting her from the smoke
and flames with his coat, which he
threw over her head, and took her 10
the home of a neighbOr.
Mrs. Hobbs and her two grown
daughters, Miss Laura and Miss Helen
f. Hobbs, escaped without difficulty,
but were unable to save any Of their
wearing apparel. Though himself at
tired only in his night clothes, young
Hobbs secured q fireman'S ladder that
his father had taken home years ago,
from the cellar and climbed to a sec
Ond-story window and secured an arm
full of clothing for his mother and sis
tiers. An oil painting OF Billy" Hobbs
was saved by the firemen.

PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT.
The Monthly Statement of the
Treasury Department Shows
an Apparent Decrease.

Washington, Jan. 4-The monthly
statement OF the public debt shows
that for the month ended December
81, 1904. the debt, less cash in the
treasury, amounted to 1885, 549,321,
which is a decrease for the month of
1851, $50. This decrease is accounted
for by a corresponding increase in the
amount of cash on hand. The debt
is recapitulated as follows: Interest
bearing debt, 1896, 157,470; debt on
which interest has ceased since ma
turity, s1,447,260; debt bearing no in
terest. $685., 537,279. Total, S1.2S2, 142,-
O10. This amount, however, does not
include $1,O12, SG5, 1863 in certificates and
treasury notes outstanding, which are
offset by an equal amount OF cash held
in the treasury for their redemption.

Terrible Results of the Letting Go of
the Boilers of a Tug Near
Huntington, W. Va.
Was TOWING FLEET OF BARGES
WHEN The ACCIDENT OCCURRED
Nearly All on Board, Including the
Officers Of the F~IatbOats, Who
Were on Board the Tug at the
Time, Were Either Killed or
Drowned.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 4.-FOrty per
sons are believed to have been killed
at II o'clock Tuesday night near Hunt
ington by the explosion of the boilers
of the big towboat Defender, belong
ing to the MOnongahela Consolidated
Coal & Coke Co. This is the esti-
mate of the dead given by the COM
pany's officers. Two dead bodies have
been recovered-one, that of Theodore
Duffy, Of Pittsburg, a fireman, and the
other that of an unknown.
The Defender was in command OF
Capt. James a. Woodward, Of Fair
mont, w. Va, who hired the crew and
had their names in his possession. He
is known to have escaped with slight
injuries after being hurled into the
river by the explosion and taken TO
the Ohio shore.
The steamer was one Of the largest
in the trade, and was en- route from
Pittsburg to Cincinnati with a tow Of
empties. When opposite Huntington,
w. Va, a terrific explosion aroused
the inhabitants of the town, who at
once rushed for the river bank. Strug-
Cling forms were seen in the water,
several sinking out of reach of help,
while more could be seen floating
downstream by the light of the flames
which envelOped the boat. Several Of
the bargeS also burned.
Victims Were Sleeping.
Robert Holland. of Pittsburg; Joseph
Moore, Of Oakland, Pa, and a woman,
whose name is unknown, were picked
up, horribly injured, and taken to a
local hospital. They were asleep
when the boat blew UP, and can give
no information regarding it, their first
knowledge Of the accident being when
they found themselves MANNED ana
struggling in the icy water.
w. r. Weldon, pilot, CT Pittsburg, is
said to have been at the wheel when
the accident occurred. Either Fl. w.
Allis. engineer, Point Pleasant, w. Va,
who shipped to assumecharge OF the
engine room, or one of his assistants
were in charge OF the engine room
when the accident happened.
All Were KILLED.
Twelve stokers, who wheeled coal
from the bunkers to the engine room,
and % rOustabouts, employed to man
each boat, barge or fiat being towed,
were also aboard.
Including the 1atbOat officers, stok-
ers and r~OuStabOus, all the above were
killed, the reports say. The coal COM
pany's officers say the death list will
surely reach forty.

James Il. McCann Continued
TIL April Term.

Jefferson City, No, Jan. 4.-The case
Of the State VS.. harrington has been

hearing at the January call of the
docket.
