Washington, Dec so - Long expert
ence in the Arctic regions stood Com
mander Robert z. Peary In good stead
last night when his automobile was
stranded In snow bank in the remote
regions OF Maryland while he was on the
way to friends house for dinner. He was
compelled to face bitter wind in light even
ing clothes and travel through deep snow-
drifts in low shoes for a mile or more to
obtain assistance Finally arriving at his
destination about 10 O'Clock. after having
his machine dug out of the snowdrifts
il WAS discovered that Mr.. Peary had suf-
fered from slight frostbites on his ears,
and Il was necessary TO give them vigor-
Gus snow treatment before they became
normal.
Commander Peary was on his way from
Washington TO the home OF friend in
Drummond, Nd, about seven miles from
the capital. accompanied by his wife and
sister-in-law When within about a mile
of his destination the chauffeur drove the
automobile into a deep drift in Bradley
Lane, where hve or six feet of snow
stopped progress. After several unsuc-
cessfui efforts 10 get his machine out
Peary decided to make a final dash across
the fields 10 his friends home
Clad in conventional evening dress and
light pump shoes, the explorer set out
and finally reached the house. Carrying
back with them ropes. rails and other
paraphernalia. Peary and his friend sue
ceeded in extricating the machine. and
Mrs. Peary and her sister, who had re-
mained in it. The delayed dinner was
finally reached about II o'clock, blubber
and pemmican on the bill of fare being the
only thing needed to give the incident a

Southern Negroes Die.

Pittsburg, Dec. 30.-Half dozen persons
dead from exposure, manufacturing plants
compelled TO suspend, trains from thirty
minutes to two hours late, the mercury
registering from l to degrees below zero
and much suffering are the results OF the
cold wave in this city.
A number of deaths are also reported
from Western Pennsylvania points These
resulted from exposure. From present in
formation it is indicated that from ten to
fifteen lives have been lost so far in the
present cold wave.
Louisville, Dec. 30.-The cold wave which
has set the South shivering seems to have
followed almost a straight line from Winni-
peg to the Gulf of Mexico. Not only did
the central South feel it's effects. but on
the SaIth Atlantic Coast as far south as
Miami, Fla freezing temperatures are re-
ported. Jacksonville was the coolest place
in Florida to-day with a temperature of
90. No damage to orange trees has yet
resulted The Northwest experienced
warmer weather to-day. and relief from
that source is expected in the East and
South
Records of cold weather in the South
show that in 1895 the temperature at
Tallahassee, Fla, was degrees below
zero. so that the present cold snap no.
where approaches that of fourteen years
ago.
The Ohio River is frozen solidly from
Pittsburg TO Cincinnati, threatening a coal
famine to river points. The Cumberland
River at Nashville was covered with a
coating of ice to-day.
Birmingham, Ala. Dec. 90.--Two negroes
have been frozen TO death here in the un-
precedented cold Of the last twenty-four
