OFFER BIG SIX
 A LARGE SALARY Christy tMathewson Offered $65 ,0O0 as Three Years Salary to Sign
 With Giants.

MARLIN, Tex, March 3.-The own CTS of the New York Giants, of the National League, today offered Christy Ma,hewson, the Big Six, salary of $65, ,OO0 to pitch for three years for the Giants and not to jump to the Federal League. The Federals made the first offer and Christy has been threatening to jump. McGraw was in clined at first to refuse the advance in salary demanded by the Big Six, but when the Federal League became factor in baseballdom, he had or ders to secure the famous pitcher at any price, but Mathewson has refused to sign as yet.
 The National League magnates do not intend that the leading slab artist of that league shall become a draw ing card for the new Federal League, and they have ordered McGraw to stop at nothing to secure the signature of Mathewson to a Giant contract. -.
 President Gilmore claims that he has the promise of Christy not to sign a contract with McGraw until the fed erai league can make counter offer, which, he says, means we will get him because we have war chest big enough to back the Giant owners off the map.

ANOTHER STORM HITS NEW YORK
Does More Than the Ordinary Amount of Damage-Traffic Blocked and
 Boats Wrecked.

NEW YORK, March 3.-The terri fic storm which swept this city yes terday caused considerable loss of life in this city, and reports coming in from along the New England coast and from the Jersey shores indicate that this storm has taken more than the usual loss of life and the wreck ing of many boats.
 Railroad traffic is slow, as hun dreds of trees and poles have been blown across the tracks and crews are busy making the repairs. The heavy rains and snow which fell dur ing the storm have filled the streets and thousands of teams are working to clear them for traffic.
 Several revenue cutters have been dispatched to vessels stranded on the Jersey coast and wrecking tugs are also speeding to them to get in on the salvage money. Life savers have made many thrilling rescues, using beech buoys and the big surf boats.
 Many eastern towns are in dark ness, as transmission wires were blown down lines crossed and great damage done. The storm is general throughout the East.

PHILADELPHIA, March 3.-The storm which struck this city yester- day is the worst since the memor- able storm of 1888. The known death toll so far is 13, that number having been found by the police in the streets. where they had fallen ex- hausted and overcome in the vain effort to find shelter. It is expected that the death list will be much greater than this.
 Drifting snow has put the street cars out of commission and the rail roads running to and from this city are tied up as completely as if strike were in force.
 The storm is general throughout the East and extends as far west as Cleveland, Ohio.
