Sudden Storm Developed-Drop Of 15
Degrees in 80 Minutes.

Pittsburg, Pa.-This city was sud
denly enveloped in q snowstorm that
eNbled a blizzard just before dark
tonight and for an hour all street car
service was crippled. Many lines were
tied up because of the inability OF the
motormen to see beyond few feet
ahead of them. During the fury OF the
storm, thunder and lightning were fire.
Quent, telegraph and telephone lines
were seriously affected, shutters and
chimneys blown down and pedestrians
were obliged to seek shelter from 52'
mile northwestern wind. Within a
half hour the mercury dropped fifteen
degrees. Up to midnight one death as
a result of the storm was recorded.
Miss Sarah Stewart, 80 years old. was
returning home in Allegheny and left
a trolley car to walk few blocks to
her home. The gale overcame her and
she struggled to porch Of the house
she came to. She was taken in and
dropped dead. The coroner's jury re-
ported heart failure due to exhaustion.

TOBOGGAN IN WALL STREET.
Yhe Whole List of Stocks Make
Rapid Decline.

New York, March 5.-Prices broke
with violence on the stock market,
and the market gave every appear
ance of wholesale liquidation being in
force. The action of the market
gave an impression of bear attack.
The whole list was swept into the
downward movement, and the decline
gained impetus as the futility of eff.
forts at support was perceived and
stop loss orders were uncovered on
the decline. The supposition gained
ground that there was some large
liquidation OF what are called invest
ment holdings going on. These re-
ports caused a gloomy feeling over
the whole industrial and business out
look. They were accompanied by
some rumors calculated to deepen the
gloom, but which were without con-
drmASon.

GREENE AND GAYNOR CASE
Appeal Based on Two Hundred As
signments of Error

New Orleans.-The celebrated case of
Benjamin ID. Greene and John T. Cay
nor, charged with conspiracy against
the United States government, was
called for argument here today before
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals, and after considerable discussion
was postponed six weeks.
Before the case was called attorneys
for Greene and Gaynor announced that
the appeal is based on nearly 200 as
signments of error, classified under 10
subjects, including the extradition pro-
ceedings, the statutes of limitations,
the question of whether New York or
Georgia courts had jurisdiction and the
claim that the jury which convicted
was not legally qualified.
The postponement was granted to- give
the governments attorneys time to
properly read the brief of the defense,
amounting to AIS pages, the printing of
which was finished five days ago.

TWINS MAY WORRY SPAIN.
Modern Medical Authority Says Last
Born Twin Is Older.

Paris, March 5.-The Eclair prints
a delicately interesting dispatch from
Madrid saying court circles are agi-
taed by reports that the indications
are the queen probably will present
twins to the world.
Should this happen, it would raise
most interesting legal, medical and
political questions, besides being
unique in royal history This would
be particularly the case should the
twins be boys or if they should be
girls and they should be the only
children of the king and queen.
The Eclair says such troubles as
those of the Carlist times are hardly
likely to happen, but disputes would
be almost certain, because notwith.
standing the present Spanish law de-
cIares the first born of twins is the
older and, therefore, has a right to

opinion, says the Eclair, supports the

OF INJURIES.
Crashes Into a String of
Freight Cars.

Las Vegas, New, March In the
wreck of a construction train on the
Salt Lake railroad near Leith, New.
Friday morning on man was instantly
killed, two were so seriously injured
that they died later and about forty
we're seriously injured. The dead are
Greek laborers and their names could
not be learned. The accident occurred
4 few hundred feet from the big
washout.
An engine pushing two fiat cars,
upon which were carried two CON
structiOn crews, for some reason
failed to slow down as it approached
string of cars loaded with construc-
ton material at tie break. A box
car on the end shot up and descended
upon the foremost fiat car, injuring
nearly every man aboard, with many
on the second car.
Many of the wounded are said to be
dangerous injured, and eight capital
operations must be performed when a
special train carrying 40 of the wound
ed to Los Angeles for treatment
reaches its destination after a run of
430 miles.

MRS. EDDy'S ADVISER
SAYS HE HAS CONFERRED WITH
HER ABOUT BILL IN EQUITY.
DECLARES HER MIND CLEAR
Asserts That Her Wealth Has Been
Overstated, and That Her .'ffairs
Are Carefully Audited.

Concord, N. H., March 4.-Gen.
Frank S. Streeter, legal adviser of
Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, has
issued a statement, replying to vari-
Gus allegations in the bill of equity
which has been brought against the
trustees and directors of the Chris
tian Science church by relatives of
Mrs. Eddy, with the view of obtaining
an accounting of funds.
EARLY Saturday morning" he says,
Il sent to Mrs. Eddy a copy of the
bill in equity as published, but not
yet served upon any of the defend
ants so far as l am informed. l nave
since had a conference with her, at
which this proceeding and matters
connected Herewith were fully dis
cussed.
I'm common with her many friends,
she believes that the initiative was
not taken by her son or other rela-
tives, but by others, who in a mark
edly unusual manner, and by unique
methods, are undertaking, under the
guise of court proceedings, to con-
tinue the persecution begun some time
ago.
Says Her Mind Is Clear.
From my conferences with her at
the time, and on other recent occa-
sions, | am able to speak definitely
and positively. Her clearness of mind
and resolutaness Of purpose has been
in no respect impaired by her ad-
vanced years. Her capacity to think
clear and to deal accurately and just
ly with important business affairs has
never been more perfectly demonstrat-
eu than in her conferences and acts
in the last two weeks, and in numer-
GUS business letters in her own hand
writing, which l have received from
her during that time.
Her Wealth Overstated.
"Fhe amount of Mrs Eddy's prop
erty has been grossly multiplied by
rumor and unfOunded report She is
not possessed Of large wealth as the
term is used. Mrs. Eddy receives no
income from the church, nor from
the church publication society. Her
sole income for many years has been
from the copyright on her own books,
and the amount from this source has
been Overestimated.
Mrs. Eddy's business affairs have
been managed by herself, with the
aid of Mr.. Frye, and uncer the over
sight and personal audit of another
gentleman, whose name Las not been
mentioned, but who stands for all that
is honorable and of good repute in
financial circles in Concord.
Accurate Accounts.
with reference to the report that
within a few days Mrs Eddy has
placed in the hands of trustees a large
amount of money to be held and usec
TOR the benefit of her son and her
have nothing to say.
Whatever she may or may not have
done toward providing for her family
is a matter which ought not to be
discussed by me.

er Cannon received the thanks of the
