CITY SWEPT BY
SLEET AND
RAIN
Storm Kept Newarkers In
dOOrS--FirSt Precinct
Station Damaged.

Sleet. snow and a deluge of rain, fol-
lowed by high winds and lower tenn
perature late last night, vas the
weather record yesterday.
A light shower Saturday evening was
the precursor of the storm. 1t rained
all morning yesterday, and at noon
Jupiter Pluvius ave way to Old King
Winter. The approach of his majesty
was made known to the residents of
this city by a light fall of snow which.
like that in the poets song, "a mo-
ment cleaned white. then was gone
forever" and each fake that melted
added its mite toward making a
muggy, dirty street that later. by the
addition of the sleet that fell and the
chill winds that blew. converted the
streets into huge skating Kinks, and
was directly responsible for the down
fall of more than one model citizen
as he trod the ~ice-covered paths. Be-
tween chasing hats and trying to keep
their feet and umbrellas at the same
time pedestrians varied the monotopy.
For bleakness and desolation the
-Four Corners should have been viewed
in the waning afternoon light just be-
fore 5 o'clock. The wind sobbed in
the deserted thoroughfares that usu-
ally TEEN with life, and the scene was,
indeed, a melancholy one.
Trolley car schedules were hopelessly
deranged by the weather, and the cars
crept along at a snail's pace and were
almost empty.
The weather man has another ac-
count to answer for, by turning a
fierce brand of weather loose or the
\ citv on the Sabboth and thus keeping
hundreds of c~hurch-goers from divine
service both morning and evening.
The inspectors of the building de-
partment went through the city today
looking for damage lone by the storm,
but so far Superintendent O'Rourke
has received no reports OF damage done,
except to the First Precinct police sta
ton.

WOMAN IN RED LASHED
BY WOMAN IN BLACK.
Latter Saw Husband on Car with
Brunette and Horse
whipped Her.

RIVERSIDE, Nov. 25.-When the Il
o'clock trolley from Camden stopped In
front of the Riverside station yesterday a
brunette, dressed all in red, started to
get of the car when a woman in black
rushed up and began to horsewhip her,
saying: You will steal my husband,
will you. I'll spoil your beauty" As
soon as the conductor recovered from his
surprise he struggled with the woman In
black Until he got possession of the whip.
The woman in red in the meantime had
run back into the car and stood there
frantically begging the motorman to go
ahead. A minute later she apparently
changed her mind M got off.
The woman In lack said she lived in
Jamesburg. She spent the time until the
next car came down berating the woman
whom she had horsewhipped. The woman
in red is believed to be from Chester
When the next car for Camden arrived she
got aboard! Just as the car started the
older woman saw her husband In the car
sitting beside the woman she had whipped.
This enraged her still more, and she de-
manded that the car be stopped, but the
conductor, taking in the situation at a
glance, refused to do so.

SHOW MARKED RELIEF
CUSTOMS RECEIPTS CAUSE
OF SATISFACTION.
Indicate Importers Have More Cash
Administration Plan Credited
with the Improvement.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The effect Of
the financial stringency has been seen in
the reduced receipts of the government
from customs more plainly than In al
most any other direction, and the Gus
toms business has pee quickest to show
the beneficial results of the administra-
| ton measures to relieve the situation.
There has been a distinct Improvement in
customs receipts during the last week as
compared with the receipts a week ago.
The aggregate was not quite as large. but
the total makes a better showing when
compared with the record of a year ago.
Treasury officials say the custom house
receipts are a fine index of conditions at
this time. This Is because the customs
business IL exceedingly sensitive to serious
disturbances in the financial world. es-
pecially at a time when public confidence
Is impaired. II has been observed during
the last month or so that importers have
been slow to pay the duties on invoices OF
goods arriving at New York. and hive
allowed the goods to go into the govern
ment warehouse. BY this method tbe
duties need not be paid until the importers
are ready to withdraw their merchandise
When the financial stress came. it was
almost Immediately apparent that import
ers. in many cases. either were affected
by the general lack of confidence in tbe
business situation or were actually finding
1t hard work to get money with which TO
pay duties. The proportion of goods pass-
ing into warehouse increased suddenly ana
the effect was seen plainly in reduced Gus
most receipts for the week ended Noyem-
Der is.
1t is possible Nalso that this placing of
goods In warehouse was induced to some
extent by distrust of the Immediate future
in retail trade, and a feeling that the
goods were therefore not urgently needed
on the merchants shelves.
Last Sunday the administrator an
nounced an extraordinary plan for placing
a large amount Of currency in circulation,
and thus relieving the financial situation.
The customs receipts since then have made
a much better showing as mpar with
the corresponding week Of 1906. and the
treasury officials declare that this is 4
direct result Of the sdministration's fnan-
cial scheme.
In the week ended November i6 the Gus
toms receipts amounted 10 s5,0s5, ~, show
ing a decrease OF S1.64s.4a7, as compared.
With the same week Of last year. In the
week ended yesterday. the receipts footed

did In the week ended November Is, and
allowing the rest of their goods to go Into
the government warehouse. importers last

Ely a Marvel of Energy.

From a mere hamlet to city of size
and commercial importance, almost
within year, is the history OF Ely in
White Pine county, Nevada.
And still, this remarkable progress
has not been OF mushroom growth. for
all of the improvements made, all of
the buildings erected, are OF the most
substantial character, and the aim
with all has been permanency; the
permanency that a great low grade
copper camp always promises, and al
ways fulfills.
Ely was a thriving and progressive
camp before the advent Of the Nevada
Northern railroad; since then it has
grown wonderfully, and yet this
growth is as nothing compared to what
will take place there as soon as the
great reduction and smelling plants OF
the Nevada Consolidated, the mills and
smelter of the Giroux Consolidated. are
completed and in commission; nothing
TO the wonderful change which will
take place when the scores of other
mining enterprises in this section are
on the regular producing list.
Ely has been marvel, a wonder, in
the past eighteen months-a brief Pc
riod for the building of really metro
politan city. One cannot hardly be-
lieve in its rapid progress without see
ing. And yet here one will now find
splendid business structures, beautiful
residences, large mercantile houses,
several banks, and almost every line Of
business represented that one would
expect to see in a town of $4,000 in
-abitants; while three or more able
newspapers contribute to the upbuild-
ing OF the town and of the great min
eral district they SO ably represent.
