BIG SNOW STORM IN NEW YORK CITY

New York, April 29.-After nearly a month of extremely cold and unseason- able weather, New York experienced a late April snow storm this morning. Snow began falling about o'clock, but after slight furry it ceased for a time. At o'clock the snow flakes were falling as thick and fast as though it were February. Although a cold north east wind was blowing, the snow in the city melted as fast as it fell. but in the suburbs the ground was covered with white blanket. This Is the latest snow fall recorded in New Yorl, since that of May 6, 1891, which was regarded as freak of the temperature. Since the beginning of April only one warm day has been experienced. and all through the month the temperature has remained in the vicinity of the freezing point at some time of the day.

BIRMINGHAM LOSES SERIES.
Player Jerome Falls and Is Rendered
 Unconscious.

St. Bernard, April 29.-(Special.) )-Bir- mingham college lost its first series of games by losing yesterday to the strong St. Bernard college team. St. Bernard out- batted Owenton in all the games, and had it not been for one bad inning in the sec ond would have made a clean sweep of the series Local enthusiasts feel that by defeating Owenton St. Bernard is in class with the best college teams in the state.
 Caravella's catch of line drive on the short side of second base in the eleventh inning of the first game was the most sensational catch ever seen on the local grounds.
 In theg first inning of yesterdays game Jerome, the first man up for St. Bernard, tripped while passing over second and was knocked unconscious by the fall. The umpire upon seeing that Jerome was in- jured immediately called time. The Owen- ton players, however, thought Jerome overran second and touched him with the ball and wanted him to be called out This decision caused some wrangling and delay. Jerome finally recovered conscious ness and resumed play. The game was loosely played throughout. Score:
