The Weather and River.

The temperature has been mild again
today. and much of the ice and snow III
the streets has been dissipated. The
mercury in the thermometer at Z O'CLOCK
this morning stood at 81 and rose grad
ually as the day advanced, standing
at 440 at noon. A thick fog hung over
the city during the early morning, but
the sun subsequently shone cut brightly
and the weather continued fair.
Conditions on the river, however, are
practically unchanged-that is on the
upper portion. Heavy ice covers the
entire surface, and the track made in the
main channel by steamers is mass of
fragments frozen together. In the lower
river the embargo shows signs of giving
away. the ice in some Of the tributaries
having moved out into the channel Of
the river. The steamer Washington
which arrived up from Norfolk several
hours late yesterday morning, was de-
lsyed by being compelled to break her
way through heavy foes below Colonial
Beach. These foes had been formed by
ice which had moved out of Wicomico
and other tributaries. The steamer Nor
folk, which left Sunday night for Nor
folk arrived at her destination on time.
She was, however, delayedin her arrival
here this morning about two hours by
the fog.
The ice in this vicinity is in some
places over a foot thick. On Sunday
last block was cut a short distance
north of this city that measured fourteen
inches.
A train of railway cars drawn by
locomotive running on ice upon the river
is a sight that can now be seen at the
lower end OF Alexander island near the
Long bridge. The contractors, who are
building the new railway tracks between
Alexandria and Washington for the
Washington Southern Railway, have laid
a track on the ice over Grayelly run and
are using it in the building of the new
railway embankment across the run, A
,dinkey engine drawing train OF SIX or
seven cars dump their loads and the en-
CINE clay laden cars runs out on the ice,
the puffs back to solid ground to where the
cars are being loaded. The ice stands
the strain without a crack and work is
proceeding as rapidly as if the track bed
was solid earth.

leaving the track the train ran about %
wards, dragging the express, baggage and
mail coaches. which were upturned. The
train had Just left the station at Front
Royal, and, according to Engineer
JMoore's report, was running at the rate
,of Is miles an hour, when the engine
suddenly lurched and left the track, tax
ing with it the entire train. The en-
.gineer, who was making his first run on
this branch, jumped. Nat Thornton,

that he had died from his injuries was
incorrect.
