There nre in tho Ohurch of England 100 clergymen, converts from Judaism, and over 3,000 communicants. Dr. Tulmage's church in Brooklyn received 728 to membership the past year. This makes the entire membership 4,0*10. Two ourcei of glycerine and two teaspoonfuls of borax dissolved in water makes a heailng wash for chapped hands. â M. de VillarE claims to have in vented a balloon which ean be guided. The French government alone will utilize the invention. A fashion note says: " On invitation cards the initials R. S. V. P. have been superseded by the plain English, 'An answer is desired.1" Oalvin Pease, of San Antonio, Texes, has survived a dynamite explosion which blew the top of his skull off und otherwise mangled him. A grandniece of Henry Word Beecher is attracting attention by Bible readings which she is giving in the parlors of Plymouth Church. Ammonia may be used instead of soap for goods liable to fade. Black pepper put in the water in which buff, gray or black dresses are wash ed will preserve tho color. During the last year the Methodist Episcopal Ohurch has raised $1,044,795.91 for missions. In addition to this the church has raised $63,000 for Bishop Taylor's work in Africa. It is said that in London there aro 2,600,000 people unable to get into a place of worship. In fact, in one district where the population is 2,000,000, there are accommodations for only 600,000. q -j ,â: On Jenny Lind's coffin was placed by Mr. Goldschmidt a wreath of myrtle made from a tree planted years ago by tho great singer herself in the shape of a tiny twig plucked from her wedding wreath. Cold beef cut in slices and laid in vinegar over night, and then dipped in beaten egg, seasoned with salt and nutmeg, and rolled in dried breadcrumbs, and fried in butter a delicate brown, is an appetizing entree for lunch. There are now in the mission field 2,400 unmarried ladies, besido probably an equal number of the married. In the early days of missions it was not thought a lady could enter the ranks of mission-workers except as the wife of a missionary. Chicago newspapers arc now advertising tbat oity as a winter resort. The main advantage of a residence there seems to be that people freeze to death by a slower process than in the extreme north. Most persons would prefer not to linger in the lap of death any longer than was necessary. The late secretary of the American legation at Pekin says that out ofthe 400,000,000 inhabitants of the Chinese empire fully300,000,000' spend less than $.50 a month. Probably most of the children aro of the female sex, and the parents are saving money for tlieir debut in American style. To blanch almonds pour boiling wator over them, cover and set on the back of the range for a few minutes, drain, pour on cold water and remove the skin, which mny be easily done by pressing them between the thumb and finger. Thoy must then bo dried in a very slow oven, or undor tho stove. When washing blankets, havo an abundance of hot water, in which borax has been dissolved, and soap without a bit of rosin in it, as rosin always hardens the fiber of wool. Put the ends into the washer, and then put in the blanket; after all the dirt has been removed, wring into another tub of hot bluing water; wring from this and hang at onco in the open air to dry. Dr. Jessup, of Beirut writes that "the Sultan of Turkey has set his seal of imperial approbation upon 32 editions of Arabic Scriptures, allowing them to be sold, distributed and shipped without leave or hindrance." 290 of tho books issued by the Beirut press have passed under examination in Damascus by the government ollicitils, and havo received authorization. On Stturday evening last tho great crown glass was inserted iu the Lick telescope on Mount Hamilton, and the instrument is practically ready for astronomical observations. Tho work of sotting tho photographic lens und preparing tho telescope for actual work has been delayod hy the cold, rainy weather of the past fow d:_vs, but the task of 11 years is now about ended and in a few days tho astronomers will be scanning tho sky through the great glass.

A PRIEST IN TROUBLE. Buffalo, TS. Y. Jan. 12.âFather Francis Dent pleaded guilty yesterday of sending obscene matter through the mails. He was recently released from a six months' term of imprisonment for libeling Father Hammill. MONUMENT JAKE'S WJLX, Pittsburo, Pa., Jan. 12.âJacob Gibson died at Loretto recently and bequeathed Â§1,000 each to 15 widows and 50 orphans of the town, and Â§20,000 to a convent there. This last bequest lias brought to light the fact that for six years Gibson had been madly in love with a beautiful nun of tlie convent, Sister Gertrude. The latter is well known here as the sister of S. A. Cos- grave, a broker. Gibson saw Sister Gertrude walking in thoponventgrounds one summer morning, six years ago, aud fell in love on sight. He was infatuated and haunted the convent, though forbidden the premises by the mother superior, compelling tlio sister to seek close seclusion. He said he would run away with her if he could get her out of the convent. Death only ended his devotion. Gibson made a fortune in California during the gold excitemeut. He was known as "Monument Jake," from havhg had his own monument erected in Loretto cemetery years ago. NOTRIFLINd WITH HER. Bahrie, Jan. 12.âA young man named Jas. Jennet, living jdeap Utopia, has boen arrested on a capais fin** breach of promise of marriage. It appears ho had been paying court to a .young lady in the same neighborhood, named Maud Grenctte Briley, to whom it is alleged he had promised marriage. After a while his love seems to have grown cold, and he wrote to Ins inamorta that he intended to leave for Michigan and bid adieu to Canada forever. Ho was accordingly lodged in jail, but was admitted to bail, his father, a well-to-do farmer, being his bondsman. The trial will come off at tlie next assizes, THE CROWN PKINOE'S THROAT. London, Jan. 13.âAs a matter of ftict, tbe news that tho crown princo fainted iB not surprising to thoso who havo learned the nature of tho disease and have read tho report tho physicians made some time ago. In this report the physicians stated that the patient would for aome time, perhaps for a few years, appear a strong, robust man, but all tho time the terrible malady with which he is afflicted would be undermining his health, and n collapse might be looked for nt nny time. Ono oil'oct of cancer is to produce an amentia, nnd this of course weakens tho patient. This is exactly what has happened. While tho Prince, as far aa outward appearance gocs,i3 a healthy man, ho is slowly becoming a physical wreck, and littlo by littlo the cancer i3 overcoming his strength and his force of will. Tho optimistic reports aro easily explained. Strict orders hnve boen given that no unfavorable bulletins of the prince's condition aro to get abroad, aud tho empress instructed tlio physicians to even color tho reports sent to the emperor as nny bad news about the prince would endanger the aged monarch's life, The official reports that go out to tlio world are patterned after those that Iho emperor receives. One cause of tho Kaiser's present illness is duo to a mora truthful report than usual being allowed to got to him a few days ago. There i- no mistaking the truth. The princo is slowly but surely dying of cancer, nnd nu amount of favorable statements of his condition can alter that fact. The oDicial reports will continuu to bo given out colored for tho world's reading, bnt once iu a while, like Inst night, the truth will out and givo nn indication of the real condition of things.

U.âThe disquali fication of Purcell, in Glengarry. created great excitemont in political. circles hero. Tho result is generally regarded as a great victory for Mc- Master, and it is believed he will be roturned at the election, lndepend- ant men of both parties strongly condemn tho method/! resorted to in the campaign. The provincial government will build a new wing to the court-house at a cost of Â§170,000. Two new religious orders will shortly bo established in Montreal, the Franciscans and Dominicans. The former have given instructions for the purchase of a suitable Bite on which to establish a nunnery, and the Domini- cans, w.ho already reside at St. . Hya*. â cinthe,are 'expected here some time next summer. 8TABDE0 THE JAILER. Toronto, Jan. 14.âRobt.

'When the guard went to take him his breakfast yester- . day Neil plunged a knife into the officer, the blade entering the groin and penetrating to a great depth. IT LOOKS OMINOUS. Philadelphia, Jan. 14,âA prom* inent Knight of Labor said this, morning: "We aro in this 6ght to wiri, and unless the Reading railroad company comes to terms by Monday every miner in the Wyoming region will be â called out, and they will .leave to a man." These few words mean a great deal and wero not idly spoken. The man who gave utterance to them has lately figured very conspicuously in the strike. Every miner in the Wy- â¢ oming region, numbering from 35,000 to 40,000, will be called out. THE SOO RAILWAY. Toronto, Jan. 14.âW. Whyte, 0.' â P.

This finished the Harrison government. There wot a caucus of ministerialists last evening and upon counting noses they found they were in the minority and decided thut the Harrison government should tender thoir resignation to Lieut Governor and advise him to call Thos.

They also decided thnt Norquay should resume the leadership of the conservative party, Hair: rison having made a regular muddle of it during his brief cereer as premier. Norquay will accordingly lead the opposition. J. H. Earl, West Shefford, P.

Our esteemed cotemporary of the Onardian is quite mistaken if he supposes that wo had any intention to cast doubt upon his assertion that ho had the names of 14 members of the provincial legislature pledged to vote against the government. We novor expressed any doubt about the facts, but we cautioned our co- temporary to keep his 14 well in hand until the proper moment came for them to fling themselves upon the ranks of corruption! We know well enough that our cotemporary has alway promised a surprise at the opening of each session, the nature of which he has usually kept a profound secret. Tho ultimate object and effect of these surprises has always been the samoâthe Overthrow of the government, but people beyond the charmed circlo have been left in profound doubt as to the means by which the thing would be accomplished. It was very kind of the organ to relieve its readers of the intense curiosity which might have consumed them. But the government does not seem to have had the least suspicion of what was in store for it. On the very eve of our cotemporary's tragic announcement about the 14 jumpers under his thumb, the government issued a special Gazette calling the house for despatch of business on the 27th inst! If the government had only ki.own about the 14, it is safe to say thero would have been no meeting of the house on the 27th. In politics a sense of justice does not always, unfortunately, outweigh the desire for self preservation; and we fear there are few governments that would have deliberately determined, from a sense of duty, to meet a house 14 of whose members it knew to be under the thumb of our cotemporary. If tho poor fellows are roally there still, wriggling in accordance with the will of him whose thumb gives them shelter, it might be an act of mercy to relieve them from such an undignified and uncomportable position. Let the house be called together, therefore, without fail. Commenting upon the public meeting held in this city last Saturday night, and the principal object for which it was called, the Vancouver Herald makes some very sensible remarks, and some which show that he misapprehends the state of publio opinion. Referring to the resolution offered at the meeting, "that all saloons should close their front doors during divine service on Sunday, and that the back doors might be allowed to remain open," Our cotemporary says: "Has it really come to this, that the people of Westminster cannot dispense with the use of liquor during one day in the weekl Such a resolution tells more about the stagnation and want of energy and enterprise displayed by the people of that city than anything else that could be said or written about them." The resolution referred to was proposed by Mr, Grimmer and seconded * by one of the saloon keepers, but it was not put to the meeting, and no opportunity was given for the expression of an opinion upon it, Our cotemporary has no right, therefore, to presume that it represented the sentiment of the people of Westminster, or even a very small portion of them. Mr. Grimmer is not k representative man, and his seconder represented only the class that ia opposed to any restriction being placed on the liquor traffic. The resolution might have received tho support of that class for tho purpose of bringing the whole ques tion into ridicule, but we have a better opinion of the people of Westminster than to suppose that such an outrageous proposal would have been seriously entertained for a moment. The municipal vote on Thursday shows clearly that a majority of the people are of opinion not only that the back doors should not be kept open on Sunday, but that the front doors should not bo open either. That is unquestionably the meaning of the vote, and may fairly be taken as an expression of public opinion in this city. Any idiot may get up at a public meeting and propose a foolish reso lution. Such a thing might even occur in the salt water terminus; but we should hardly feel ourselves justified in taking suoh an incident as an index of public opinion. Our cotemporary then refers to tho fact that Vancouver has had a Sunday closing by-law for some time, and no difficulty is experienced in enforcing it, and that, he believes, majority of the hotel keepers there are in favor Af it. this agrees with the opinion expressed in the Co- Iumbian yesterday. Let tho license holders of Westminster try the law before they condemn it; and wo shall not be surprised if they find tt so much better than they imagined thattbey vill become its warmest supporters.

U.âSecond Wednesday (if each month, 3 p.m., basement or Baptist Church. The Black Dottle. The Macon, Ga., Telegraph tolls the following true story, that "would fi% adorn a temperanco lecture." Happening into a millinery store, the reporter noticed _ lady who wan buying a hat for her little girl Tho child made herself sociable with him, and remarked prattling artlessly, "Wo dot lots o' money now." "Pupa broke de bottle." This called for somo explanation on the mother's part, and she finally related how her intemperate husband had boon reformed live years before, at the timo their oldost boy died. This is tho tale she told, beginningâas tho story of many a reformed life has begunâat a loved one's death-bed: The little fellow Blowly turned his oyes toward his father and said, "I'm going to die, papa, for I seo the angels beckoning me to como. This is Christmas morning, papa; please let me see what Santa Cluus put in my stocking." My husband went to the mantel and took down tho little stocking. It was empty! He stood still und stared ut it for a minute, and God only knows the agony of his heart in that short time, He turned to speak, but our boy would not have heard him had ttic poor man's breaking heart allowed him utterance. Our boy was dead! The day before New Year's my husband called for the whiskey bottle. May God^forgive my feelings at that minute, for I wished that he too, was doad. I obeyed him mechanically. To my surprise, ho took the bottle in his hands aud, pouring the whiskey on the ground, said, **- I will drink no more; and the money I would spend for whiskey we will put in this bottle, and all enjoy the contents." You can imagine how happy I wns! He had sworn oh" many times before, but I knew ho was in earncat this time. Wo mado a calculation, and estimated that whiskey cost him five dollars a week. Well, it was decided to put live dollars a week in the bottle for five years, come what would. Tho time was out last New Year's Day, and the big black bottle was broken, and it contained one thousand dollars. But this was not all. We saved enough in that time outside of the bottle, to buy a littlo home. "But nre you not afraid in breaking the bottlo your husband will break his resolution?" "No, because we havo sturted another bottle-bank," said the lady with a happy smile. Tho husband is a Macon mechanic, well known, and enjoys tho respect and esteem of all. He says ho never knew how much genuine pleasure there was at home with his loved ones until he got sober enough toappreciato it. and to fill and empty, the fat, blaok bottle. Where lt was Done.

Improvement in the laborer's condition is impossible without cutting down his drink bills. No social arrangement which man can make can benefit people who get drunk. No matter what wages you pay a drinking man, neither his condition nor that uf his family can be improvod thereby. There is no use in cutting down the day's labor from ten to eight hours, if tho two hours gnined are spent in the rum-hole. There would be no uso in making arbitration compulsory, if one of the parties was likely to be kopt from obeying the decision by liquor. There would be no use in handing over all the property in (he world to labor- men, if they drink as they do now. They would soon dissipate it, and add nothing to the store. There U no Middle Course. As a warning to those who lay to their souls the flattering unction that though regular drinkers, thoy arc not drunkards, let the doctor bo heard further: "To prevent misapprehension, it is well here to state that all the evils resulting from hereditary alcoholism may be transmitted by parents who havo never been noted for their drunkenness. Long-continued habitual excessive indulgence in intoxicating drinks to an extent fnr short of pronounced intoxication is not only sufficient to originate and hand down tho morbid tendency, but is much more likely to do so than even oft-repeated drunken outbreaks with Intervals of perfect sobriety between," Scrofula Is ouo ol tho must fatal scourges which nfilict mankind.

V A roaring firo in tbe large bux stove â¢and both grates heaped up with coal failed to keep the court-room warm enough for comfort this morning. The building is no warmer than a barn and it would be cruelty to animals to stable cattle in it. The bank of British Columbia has removed its quarters to the new bunk building where all business will be transacted for the future. The officers are as follows; Mr. Fisher, manager; Mr. Doane, accountant; Mr. Parks, teller. A coal famine is threatened in Vancouver. The explanation given by the News is that owing to the high price of ooal at present obtainable in San Francisco, the estimable monopolists who control the destinies of the black diamonds ut the mine prefer to ship the ooal to that point instead of selling it to the people of Vancouver. The str. Yosemite left Victoria on Thursday morning for this city and was detained in Plumper's Pais ull night by the heavy snowstorm and gale. Yesterday morningsheattempt ed to enter the river but tho ice wns too much for her so ahe turned round and made for Vancouver where tho freight and passengen wero landed. At 1 o'clock this afternoon, just as the Pacific express was pulling out of Vancouver, nre was discovered breaking out of the station house roof. Mr. Brown, the ticket agent, gallantly jumped through the trap dom* in tlie ceiling and taking off his coat used it to extinguish the fire, which he succeeded in doing before it hud a chance to spread. Smoke or something strongly resembling it seemed to be issuing from Mount Baker this morning between 6:30 and 8 o'clock. Many old inhabitants claim to have seen smoke rising from the top of the mountain, and they are of the opinion thut it was formerly a live volcano. As the eastern sky was without a cloud at the time mentioned it is quite possible a â mall eruption took place. The Masonic lecture on Monday night by Dr. Rob Morris will prove of very great interest to all master ma- ions, and none should miss it who cm possibly attend. Visiting brethern who intend being present and who have never sat in lodge here should see Mr. Thos. Mowat, master of Union Lodge, or some of the officers tnd be examined, otherwise thoy will not be permitted to attend as no board of examiners can be appointed on that night. Thursday night was a lively one fur Victoria firemen. Three times the fir* alarm summoned the force to duty. lilt fint fire waa at 9 p. m., and it was found in ashed in rear of the Cosmopolitan Hotel (vacant). It wus quickly extinguished, and an investigation showed that the place had boon â¢et on fire. At 10 o'clock a tire was discovered in a cigar storo near Philharmonic Hall. This was squelched, and pronounced incendiary also. The third alarm wai rung at 11 o'clock, but proved to be without cause. The Westminster MayoHtj*. Mayor Dickinson's re-election by acclamation to tho Westminster mayo ralty is eminently satisfactory. His popularity is sufficiently attested by tiio fact, while his management (if tlm affairs of the city is well known to have been highly creditable to him. Tho Royal Oity did itself honor in selecting Mayor Dickinson for the eleventh timo as the guardian of its civic interests.âiJolonist. Officers Elccleil. At tho regular meeting of the Hyack Fire Company, on Wednesday the Ilth inst, the following officers were elected for the present year: Robert Wintemute, Captain; Ooo. H. Grant, 1st. Lieut.; E. P.

A large number of people assembled at Hustings to see them off, and as the train pulled out threo ringing chours wero given for the travellers, who responded in no fceblo manner. The Misses Cambio accompanied Miss Black as far as the junction. The party will be absent about three months, during which timo all the principal points of interest in England and Scotland will bo visited. Bon voyage. Ue Didn't Mean It, If our cotemporary of tho News had stated at first thut Mr. Chisholm had broken an engagement with tho Vancouver board of trade by leaving so early for Ottawa, he would havo adopted the very course wo suggested. The original paragraph, of which wo complained, made no such statement. It suggested that Mr. Chisholm should have remained here as long as political questions might urrisu affecting tho interests of tho constituency; and it added that "many conflicting rumors" were about respecting the cause of his "hasty departure;" leaving peoplo undoubtedly to infer that Mr. Chisholm's movements wero not in the public interest. If dissatisfaction lias been created by his departure, our cotemporary had an unquestionable right to Buy so; but we have heard of none, and if thero had been any, the paragraph should not have boon so worded as to mislead. We can tell our cotemporary, if ho does not know it already, that many people hero regard tiio paragraph as uncalled for and guito out of place under the circumstances. Krnrly n Fire. This morning about 10o'clock smoke wus soon to issue from underneath the flooring of the dry house of the Royal City phning mills. Men wero immediately set to work to discover tho cause and extinguish thu fire. Some of the flooring was torn up nnd water poured underneath, but the snn ike grew denser in spite of all tho efforts and it was finally ducided to give a fire alarm. A telephone messugo was sont to the central office nnd Geo. Pitton- dreigh, who was on duty at the time, kicked off his boots, ran to the lire hull and had given tho alarm iu lo-s than a minute after the message was recoivod. The firemen turned out vory promptly and in exactly ten minutes after tho boll hud been rung wero at tlie milts and roady for action. Two streams of water were turned on the smouldering sawdust, and in a fow minutes all danger of tho fire spreading was at an end. Tho firemen, undor Chief Corbett, worked like Trojans, carrying out lumber and performing other arduous duties. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed tiie sawdust, ovor which the dryhouseis built, and which has been lying tlioro for !) years, ignited from spontaneous combustion. 'I lie citizens guiic-rally showed a great deal ot anxiety over the fire, and everyone felt it wonld be a very serious affair for the city if the mills hud been burned. The firemen certainly deserve the highest credit for the prompt manner in whicli they turned out and performed thoir duty. Turn AIhmiI In Fnlritlny. Coal and wood dealers are a peculiar lot of people, During the hot weatiier when everyone olse is light hearted aud happy, they go about in a manner thut would lead people to believe they had met with somo great and suddon bereavement. As tho summer begins to decline and the cold wet days of the fall draw nigh, the coal doulers begin to brighten upa lit tleand the wood merchant puts on a brand new smile that seems just a littlo too sweet to bo honest. But it's when the renl cold weather comes on that those patriots become really happy. When the thermometer feels chilly and gathers up in a heap at the bottom of thu bulb aud tries to keep warm, lifo seems to be one continuous summer's day with them. But his revenge is complete and the acme of happiness reached when one of those, who, during (ho warm weather would in mockery express the hope that business was good, goes to the coal shed, neurly frozen, to order a half ton of coal. Then tho long suffering merchant fairly trembles with the suppressed mirth that convulses his frame, nud as he hands back the change remarks to tho congested citizen in a most pleasant nnd off-hand manner, "that coal has gone up a dollar a ton." The old adage is true in this instance and it is well to bear in mind when scoffing at the coal merchant thnt, ''he who laughs lust, laughs beat." ââ. *. â¢ mââ â â*-'- Thb Sort of HlOod from which tho constituents of vigorous hone, brain nnd muscle are derived is not manufactured liy a stomach which is billons or weak.

Patrick Kane resumed his evidence; âYon Kee showed us a way under the wharf and roadwuy to his houso so thut the goods could be removod unobserved. Yen Keo was to give warning in the Chinese language if tho watchman appeared. I thon broke the cur opon und handed out 2 boxes and a mat of rice which Ah Shin took and passed to tho Chinainon below. Yen Kee then wont to the*cornor of the street near his house to keep guard there whilo we gob tho goods into tho house. Yen Kee opened the boxes with a hatchet and wo found they contained whiskey. Yen Kee said lie would burn tho boxes and koop watch whilo wa brought over more stuff. Ah Sinn and myself, along with two Chinamen went back to the car. I handed out a number of packages which we carried over lo Yen Kee's houso after closing the cur. Wo probably made throe trips in nil in getting the goods over. When the goods wero all at the house there was DrantB of rice, 1 box nf soap, 2 cases of whiskey, 1 box continuing bacon and tobbacco and I bundle of blankets. Tho lamp chimney and files produced aro thu ones taken from tho box, I was in tho house about an hour and a half, and while Yen Keo destroyed and burned all tho mats and boxes. We also divided tho spoils. Wo thon took 4 mats of rice and a caso of whiskey to another Chinaman's house; Ah Shin took thu whiskey; I know the house but I don't know the man's name who lives thore. The rest of the goods remained iu Yen Kee's house. I got no share of the steal but was promised Â§10 for helping them. Yen Keo said I might have the blankets nnd towels as the polico were likely to search his place beforo mine. I also got a small piece of bacon, a bar of soup and Sl.

A SWEEPING BUZZARD iulA uml t.tiirm Over a ViikI Extent of -T'liirilryâTrains nntl ICoiiih RInrlMHl* St. Paul, Jan. 13.âYesterday's storm was, without exception, the worst ever experienced in the Northwest. Tho snow, two feet on the lovol, driven by iho fiorco winds, practically blockaded all the r,iilro;ids. Efforts aro being mado to get pns3cnger trains through on tho main linos, but nil branch trains have boon abandoned, and it is thought that sniiie of them may not get through for six weeks. But it is feurod that the worst is yet to eome. The wind is blowing hard over almost all the lines to-day, nnd the cuts are being filled ns fast as they can be dug out. The storm of yesterday is now raging in Iowa. Besides that another storm, or a cor tin uat ion of the present one, is expected to strike Minnesota on Sunday, in whioh case there is no telling what the resuh will be. It is raging in Idaho to-dny with the thermometer at various points along the Northern Pacific Railway ns low as 10 degrees below zero. Each company is putting forth every effort to keen their Chicago line opon, but even that is nn impossibility. At noon to-day no trains had como in, the "Omaha limited" boing reported nearer than nny of the others. It was. nt Kuapp, Wisconsin, 55 miles east of Ht. Paul, with a snow-plow stuck in a drift, Thu officials hoped to see it reach St. Paul not later than 0 o'eloek this ovening, but il may not come in at all tonight, as there are two bad cuts ââiââ âââi**â between Knapp and this eity. Some little idea of the severity of the storm and its effect upon Iho roads can be gleaned from the fact that up to 1 o'clock this morning but two truiun had come iu on the Milwaukee short line from the Minneapolis lino and each was drawn by two engines. At 1 p.m. tho trains are all making the run each with two engines. With the exception of these trains and the Sioux City express over the Omaha line which came in at 2 a, m., seven hours lato, not a train has arrived in St. Paul Bince last night. All tho branch lines aro closed artd it is feared that the Mitchell and Pipestone branches will not be clear for months. The Kansas City train due at 10 a. ut., tied up near Sioux City, and a train sent out last night, has only reached a point about forty miles east ot St, Paul. All trains on the western division havo been abandoned nud no efforts will be mudo to clear the track until the storm ceases and the wind fulls. Tho Rook Island road abundoned all its trains lust night and up to noon no efforts woro being made lu move a wheel ex- copt on the short line trains. The outgoing trains nre abandoned, but the officials intend to start a through train to-night unless the reports show this to bo inexpedient. On the Northern Pacific road tho storm is tho most severe ever felt, and to-day there is a regular blizzard raging on its western division, with tho thermometer at an unusually low point. Tlie lust overland train which reached St. Paul came in on Wednesday afternoon, and the officials will not offer an opinion as to when the next one wilt arrive. The storm extended through Montana, Dakota and Minnesota. The snow as it full yesterday was very moist, but not too wet to drift. The consequence was that tho truck filled, and when tho temperature fell it froze the Boft snow, and mado it like ice, Tho outgoing trains were abandoned last night and no attempt was made to send out anything to-dny. The train expected to arrive here last night is, at Clear Lake frozen up. The Company has concluded it is useless to try to send out any more trains, or to even attempt to opon the road until the storm is over. Fergus Falls-; Minn., -Tan. 18.âTho thermometer registered 20 deg. below zero here this morning. The schools are suspended and tho railroads blockaded. No trains nre expected to arrive boforo Sunday. Bismarck, Jan. 13.âThe stage that loft Washbury yesterday morning for this city and should have arrived lust evening has not yet beeu heard from, and is supposed to have been lost in the blizzard. The stage left here for Winona thia morning, and great fears aro entertained for its safety. The great blizzard hns evidently spent its fury in this locality. The wind lust night wus blowing nt tlie rate of -10 miles per hour, with the mercury at 25 degrees below rcro. The thermometer this morning registers 30 below. Farmers who nre in town dare not venture home, and their families aro at home hoping they will not attempt to come homo, The snow drifts in the cuts on the Northern Pacifio road arc packed so hard that tho snowplough cannot get through tliem. The trains are all blocked in this locality, and it is not expected that the main line of the Northern Pacific will bo open before next week. Winona, Jan. 13.âThe hardest night of the season was lsst night. This morning all the railroad cuts ânre full, and uo trains aro moving except as they dig their own way through tho snow. Dunmr, Jan. 13.âAll the local roads are badly blocked by yesterday's storm. The St. Paul und Duluth passenger train duo at 3:20 p. in. yesterday has not yet arrived. The limited train due at 7:20 p.m. last night arrived at 1) this morning. Tho St Paul nnd Omaha train due from St, Paul last night has not yet been heard from.
