TOUCH OF REAL WINTER
NOR'wESTER BRINGS WITH IT
FREEZING WEATHER.

The nor'wester that howled about the
caves of Washington houses last night
and performed many hat-lifting stunts in
he vicinity of the local sky-scrapers.
brought with it a touch of real wintry
weather bat the thermometer did not so
down quite to the freezing point, as was
expected. Prof. Garriott, the official fore.
caster OF the weather bureau explained
this afternoon that the actual cold wave
that WIS predicted by some manner of
meteorological freakishness passed south
of the District Ali around this city, how
ever. there were touches of bleakness and
frigidity that were akin to December and
January conditions. There was hail IN
Baltimore snow in the surrounding Blue
Ridge mountains and heavy frost in Vir.
giaia, Maryland and as far south as
northern Florida. At some nearby points
there were spasmoiic thunder storms that
brought hail.
Nice, seasonable weather. is Prof.
Garriott's forecast for tomorrow.
Cause Low Water.
The heavy winds last night caused eN.
ceptionally low water in the river. lower
than it has been for several years past.
Practically every steamboat lying in .
dock on the harbor was on the bottom at
o'clock this morning The steamer New
port News, on the day route to the
jamestown exposition and Norfolk, sue
ceeded in getting afioat and left here
but O few minutes behind her schedule.
The steamer Wakefield, Which was due
to leave here at Z am. was on the
ground almost her entire length at that
hour this morning. The steamer Is
teIie Randall and two tugboats pulled at
her for an hour or more about a. m, but
without success, and 1t was II o'clock be-
fore she succeeded in getting out of dock
and ctarting down the river. The little
steamer Trenton, which carries passen-
gers and freight TO the river landings. was
also caught in her dock by the low water,
and she was delayed In leaving here sew
eral hours.
All the river fats in the vinicity Of this
city were exposed. and in places the mud
Oh them had been dried by the wind and
dust flew from them. South of the city
all the water in the river was confined
to the main channel, the channel banks
showing on each side.
The water this morning was fully six
feet below its ordinary level, but al noon
the tide was rising slowly, and a fairly
high rise is looked for this evening.
The gale and rain Were very heavy on
the bay and river, but as yet no reports
Of disasters have reached this city.

GRAIN TO KEEP MOVING.
Financial Troubles Not to Be Al
lowed to Delay Shipments.

DULUTH, Mimi, October 23.-The
grain movement to the head of the lakes
will not be interrupted, for the present at
least, by the financial troubles. At a
conference last evening between the con-
trollers of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern roads and the directors of the
Duluth Board of Trade. an understand
ing was reached whereby the cars will
be handled as rapidly as they come for
ward. The roads are anxious to prevent
a congestion here and keep the cars NOV
ing in order to get the crops into the
elevators before navigation closes. No
trading is yet being done by the Duluth
Board of TRACE. The members have agreed
to make no trades until the financial clouds
have passed. The action was necessary
for the same reason that the western
banks had to suspend payment Of eastern
checks.
Duluth grain firms are large exporters,
and they were paying out their cash in
return for clearing house checks on New
York banks. The country elevators have
ceased buying grain for the present, but
are taking for storage.

PARIS. October 29.-The play of Raj

success at Nine. Rejane's theater, seems
to have had the effect of starting a new
school of crime. a few weeks ago an
EngIishman named Spencer, when ar
rested for swindling. declared that he
swindled for sport Yesterday the Paris
police arrested another man who calls
himself Thompson, and VINO Is man of
fashion during the day and dangerous
thief at night. His real name is Georges
Arbourd, and when arrested he was driy-
ing toward the Bois de Boulogne in a
handsome victoria drawn by two splendid
grays. He was 'faultiessly dressed and
wore jewelry of considerable value. Tn
fortunately for himself he had little
too much iewelry, for when arrested he
was unable to account satisfactorily for
several very valuable rings or for hand
some gold cigar case and a gold card
case which were found under the cush-
ions of his carriage, and which contained
several broken pieces OF valuable jewelry.
The circumstances which led to Ar
bourd's arrest are romantic. a lady nance
Micllollot was crossing the Avenue de
Bots de Boulosne on Thursday evening
when d man, dressed in the costume pc
culiar to the "AFaches''-a fiat
cap, no shirt collar ard white shoes
with spring soles-made dash at
her tore d little gold bag out of her hand
and bolted. The bag contained pawn
ticket besides a certain amount of money.
Nine. Michollot knew the number of the
ticket, lodged Information with the police
and on Friday a gentleman was arrested
when he presented the ticket at the
Monte-de- Piete and tried to redeem a
bracelet and two rings which Nine.
Michoilot had pawned for far less than
their value.
The man arrested proved that he had
bought the pawn ticket i'll the ordinary
way OF business from u motor-car firm
and the principal of this firm, when
called on by the police. proved that Ar
bourd had given him the ticket in pay
nent of large bill for the hire OF motor
cars. He gave information which enabled
the police to arrest Arbourd. Arbourd is
the son of Paris flower seller
