Saw His Shadow and Then Felt
the Zero Weather.
Couldn't Have Stayed Had There
been No shadow--Mercury Al
most to Zero.
A BLIZZARD IN MANY PLACES.

If the ground hog really came out
today. he got back mighty quick, not
only because he saw his shadow, but
because IL he hadn't he would have
been frozen too stiff to get back, in
a very short time. 1t would require
very little today. not considering the
ground hog at all. to convince Padu-
cab people that winter is not over.
II may be only begun, for aught any
one knows.
Last night the mercury dropped
again, going almost to the zero
mark. II went to one degree above,
although some of the thermometers
went to zero. The suffering has been
intense, but possibly not so great as
it was few days ago, because the
people are better able to stand II now
since they have had good dose of
It.
Horses seemed to suffer more than
usual today because many of them
slipped and fell. On account of the
cold, more than a few drivers at
tempted to drive the animals faster
than they could go over the slick
streets, and as a result many of them
fell down. some being painfully hurt,
and one breaking a leg and having
to be shot.
II is not known at what hour the
ground hog showed up, but he found
1t cold when he did, and at most
any time would have found sunshine.
although there were a few times
when the face of the sun was not Wis
ible.
The weather predictions for today
do not offer much in the way of re-
lief, as they are for colder weather,
and continued colder tomorrow.
This is second to the coolest spell
of the winter, and 1t is predicted that
the temperature will fall to zero to-
night.

saw the train approaching but passed
over the tracks in safety. The driv-
er of the second sleigh attempted to
stop but he could not check the heavy

Hood Froze On Wounds.

The slightest wound caused excru-
ciating pain. Warm blood no sooner
exuded from lacerated flesh than Il
began to freeze.
The wounded could not be left ex-
posed and IL they did not receive at
tention within an hour they died,
Surgeons, their assistants and nurses
were almost powerless In bandaging
wounds for they were obliged to wear
leather gloves or mittens in order TO
resist the cold. The men seemed to
be living again the horrors of the
winter campaign of 1872 against the
Turks. Everything that could be
done was done, but man was power
less TO face nature, which heaped
tortures upon the troops aud defeat
ed the well-thought'out plan of the
commander.

Charged For Five Days.

For five days Russian soldiers hurl-
ed themselves against the defenses
and the field artillery pounded them
until the frosty air reverberated with
the thunder of cannon. din of burst
ing shells and rattle of musketry;
but neither the steel-pointed shell
nor nickel bullet availed against the
frozen earthworks. The gunners act
ually wept with despair at the impo-
tence of their attack. Mortar bat
teries came up at gallop in the hope
of demolishing the Notifications
Night and day a stream of shells was
poured against the earthworks, but
II had very little effect. The men
seemed Indifferent to hunger or cold,
which latter was of artic intensity
Their fingers, hands and. feet were
benumbed, while singing snow and
dust blinded them.

The above dispatch will convey
pleasing news to the hundreds of
friends in Paducah of Capt. Jack"
as he is known among the railroad
men. Mr.. Flynn was for several
years one of the most popular and
efficient officials here, being train
master of the Central City district of
the /. C. and subsequently trainmas-
ter of several more important dis
tricts, until he was sometime ago
promoted to a superintendency His
rise has been rapid, but no more
so than expected by his friends. He
was in Paducah few weeks ago on
brief visit to his father-in-law,
Justice X. j. Barber. 1t is likely that
when he takes the new position he
will be in Paducah oftener, as he
will then be in Fulton a great deal.
II the above report is correct, Cap
tain Flynn will succeed Supt. Horn,
of the Memphis division, of whose
resignation there has been talk for
sometime.

A thousand million little bugs assailed
the electric light globes in the down
town districts just before the rain storm
last evening. Screens were not close
meshed enough to keep them out of the
restaurants and other places of business,
kept open late at night, and they lit
tered the counters and tables so thick
" that it drove away all the trade.
Over at the council chamber one of the
council committees was at work. At
one fell swoop 10, 333, 1888 of the bugs by
actual count came into the windows and
buzzed around the electric light chande4

Charlie Pattison, a Kansas City, Kan
sas, banker, tells good baseball story.
He used to live at Abilene and man
aged the ball team there. DIR. Outland,
Washburn's football coach, was the
catcher on his team. Emporia went to
Abilene to play a game, and Outland
thought he would have some fun. He
got hold of a big potato and pared it
down about the size of baseball and
poked it in the bosom of his shirt. En-
poria finally got runner on third. He
was playing off a little and Outland,
after receiving the ball from the pitch
er. reached in and got the potato and
threw it to third to catch the runner
mapping By design he threw the po-
tato clear over the head of the third
baseman and the runner Ioped in with
a smile. When he got within about
five feet of home plate Outland stepped
up and put the ball on him, to his great
surprise. A big howl went up from En-
poria, but Outland said there was moth
ing in the rules against using potatoes.
After perusing the book from cover to
cover the umpire said he guessed Out
land was right and let the play stand.
