He got a hump on himself. And the hump? It broke all records for many a year. The whole country has been swept by a blizzard. Across the entire continent the whooping, howling monster made an impartial and indiscriminate tour, but the storm was most severe after the Pacific air column was re-enforced by another column in Illinois. Starting away out beyond the Missouri River it laid embargo on the railway travel in Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and the Northwest generally. It sent the visitors in the big Hot Springs ho­ tels huddling about the steam radi­ ators, and made the teeth of the Texas cowboys chatter. Its course eastward was marked by snowed-up trains and tangled telegraph wires far into the Middle States. Its center passed along the Ohio Valley, and its terrible force was felt in all the areas within a few hundred miles of that line. The earliest reports came from the large cities. These were strug­ gling ' in snowdrifts, while the smaller towns were almost completely snow­ bound. Luckily, save for the inevitable in­ convenience to the public and the buffer­ ing which every storm entails upon the poor, it dees not seem that any very painful harm has been inflicted. The wind did the pnly mischief. Both the snowfall in the northern half of the belt and the rainfall further touth will bs beneficial rather than injurious, unless the following cold winds from the nOt'th destroy vegetation in the more southern section. .It will be some time before the full story of de­ layed trains, snowed-in villages and general discomfiture is known, but the Associated Press dispatches tell enough to enable the reader's imagination to do the rest. Wild Day *«* IlftfltoU. T ^ ̂ CHICAGO.--Snow--whirled the% air by a.Vfiale of Wind which blew .eighty-four miles an hour--buried Chi­ cago*, buried it §odeeply that business of -wery k:"nl was paralysed. The storm broke upon the city before day­ light, and untii the cominer of night raged with a fury not equaled since the memorable blizzard which swept down upon Chicago just nine years County, Kentucky, was tortured by a£°- . Street car transit during tlie , a morning and early part of the after­ noon Tfra* almost a matter of luck, and the railroads practically threw up their hands and waited for the storm to quit. Trains which should have left iri the afterno :n commenced pulling out at jnidnight. The Illinois Central made a brave fight to keep its Suburban service going, but one by one the tracks at 2;d street were frozen up by the water and ice swept inland by the gale and at night it had only three sets of rails left, and they were studded with snowbanks. Business houses were deserted the day long, the big down-town stores sending their clerks home long before the usual closing hour. The monetary lo.-s to storekeepers is placed at $1.50.000. Life was imperiled on land and water. Many accidents occurred to pedestrians wh,o,were not able to contend against the wind and uncertain footing caused by the snow and ice-covered walks. Out at the €8th fetreet crib the lives of seventy men were hanging in the bal­ ance while the tempest was howling. QUINCY.--The public s 'hools were closed on account of the snow.

CHESTER.--Small buildings were damaged, lumber piles overturned and a fleet of thirteen steamboats in this harbor were in a precarious cordition. BI.OOMINGTON.--The wind was blow­ ing almost a tornado and the cold was severe, the mercury being down to zero. Great snowdrifts lie everywhere. PEORIA.--The storm was one of the worst in the history of the city. The snow was fine and dry and was accom­ panied by a heavy wind, causing it to drift badly. SPRINGFIELD.--The snowstorm pre­ vailed nearly all day. The ground is covered to a depth of eight or ten inches. Street car traffic was suspend­ ed and the schools closed. WASHINGTON. CONGRRSSMAN G.

DETROIT.--Michigan i« storm twept. Not since April, 188t5, has so much snow fallen nor has the wind howled with such unrelenting vigor. Before noon traffic on many of the fetreets in Detroit was practically stopped. Plows drawn by four team; went over the routes, but by the time one end of the line was reached the drifts had -piled ,up on the other. The. only way the electric lines were kept going was to send two motcr card along together. Business in tho city has been stag­ nated. Reports from all over the State show the storm to have been un­ usually severe, although the damage slight : .w Unequaled In Fury in WlaetaMjfo. BELOIT.--A fe%fful blizzard hte pre­ vailed all day.

INDIANAPOLIS.--The heaviest storm of sleet and snow which has visited Indiana in a number of years besan early in the morning and continued without intwnitsion during the day. Outside of the inconvenienoe which resulted from impaded traffic on the railroad lines and ihe difficulties under which business was transactgd in this city the damage of the storm was not material. In many sections the snow drifted so as to make the roads impas­ sable, and throughout the northern part of the State the drifts interfered with travel. South and southeast the storm consisted of rain until early nwet morning, when it began to snow, but the fall is not large.

Most of the Victims Had Result of a Blr ^ ' Plymouth, Pa., was Tuesday thi scene of the worst mine accident that has occurred in the anthracite region in eight years. In December, 1885, twenty-two men perished in No.> 1 mine in Nanticoke by a cave-in. Thir­ teen men met their death in the same manner in Gaylord slope in the King­ ston Coal Company's mine Tuesday morning. The men, who were all ex­ pert miners, entered the mine to prop up the roof, which was falling in. It was dangerous work, but big wages were offered, and in these slack times ther9 were plenty men of who were will­ ing to take the risk. In propping the roof timbers about four feet in length are used. The men had just begun work when a terrific crash was heard. In an instant the men must have scat­ tered like rats, but they were too late. The roof covering an area of 500 yards had crashed in. The supposition is that the men were caught in the fall and manglad out bf recogn tion. At first there was great hope that they might be alive, but there is little now. This h( pe is based on the fast that the roof where tha men were at work is still intact and that they are hemmed in by the debris which fell oa all bides of them. But even if they did escape injury the chances are that they will never be rescued alive and starvation must be their fat-j. Tib me­ diately alter tho dis-a tsr cciurred a rescuing party made up of expert miner8 wa-j organize! and they de­ scended the sha.t at once. In the fate of death the rescuei s worked n' bly to clear the main gangway in ordel1 to make a passageway to reach the spot where the thirteen man were at work. Every minute the noise of falling rock could bo heaid throughout the mine, but thi rascuers kept b. avely at work. Shortly before noon a loud, rumblirg noise wa? heard and another big sec­ tion of the roof caved in right in front of the rescuers., The lattar wore then compelled to flee for their lives. The Gaylord mine, where the acci­ dent occurred, his not teen operated for years. The old pillars supporting the f*oof had become weakened. This caused the surfaca to press down, and when the rock and ccal overhead was disturbed the least it began to "squeese" and then finally tall in.

Almost Unparalleled In It* Extent, Sweep­ ing the Southwest. The fact has often been noticed and commented upon that a religious wave of * greater or les s degree of p jwer al­ ways follows a pericd of financial de­ pression. This winter furnishes no ex­ ception to the rule. The reports since the close of summer, a'though coming from widely separated points and scat­ tered over several months of time, have nevertheless shown that a lelig- ious revival, almost unparalleled in its extent and force, has been and is now sweeping over the country. In order to ascertain the effect of this revival in what is usually considered St. Louis territory, a leading newspaper of St. Louis recently directed a number of its correspondents in the States of Mis­ souri, Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas and Texas to report the number and results of religious revivals in the evangelical churches of their respective counties since the first of last September. The results of this inquiry, although not as complete as was desired, owing to the inability of a great many corre­ spondents to get reports from the ' country districts, 'the unwillingness of some of the ministers to furnish infor­ mation and other causes, the object is i nevertheless fully attained in the in­ teresting reports which follow. These show that in 177 counties of the States named there have been during the past five months 53,991 conversions and 49,010 accessions ta the churches. Of the total, (51 counties in Missouri report 20,216 conversions and 17,071 additions to the churches: 51 counties in Illinois, 15,852 conversions and 14,247 additions; 32 counties in Kansas, 8,574 conversions and 8,227 additions; 23 counties in Texas, 7,100 conversions and 7,345 ad­ ditions; 10 counties in Arkansas, 2,249 conversions and 2,120 additions. The average per county is in the neighbor- . hood of 3 )0 in all of the States. I The denominations which have bene- ' fited the most by means of these re-, vivals report th® following accessions: Methodist, 2^,840; Baptist, 7,577; Christians, 6,90ix Presbyterians, 2,900.. The miscellaneous additions are 3,231; unclassified, t',510. A SOCIALIST VILLAGE One la In the Mow Being Established Btafr of Mlohlar<in. A village is being established on a tract of laid not far from Grand Blanc, Mich., which will be governed on pure­ ly socialistic principles. The members will every one engage in labor, the proceeds of which will, at the end of each year, be divided according to the necessity of each. No one will ever be in want of wo /k, as industry is one of the first requisite* for members of the community. In religious or political opinions each member can satisfy him­ self B§ long as he complies with the usages of enlightened people generally. The pecuniary qualification necep- earv for joining the community is the payment of $100 into the common fund Dy each head of a family. At present this membership numbers 211 families. The fund amounts to $21,000. Four hundred and fifteen acres are now owned by the community. A basket factory has been already established, and a broom factorv ani large dairy are now being built. From all over the country applications have been made for membership, and it is believed that many more will yet join the com­ munity. Every care is taken, of course, to enroll only ^respectable and worthy persons; if others, by chance, should be taken in they will be dismissed after proof is given of their unsuitabil- ity. The community is being formed by S. S. Gibson, to whose father the large estate thus used originally belonged. The place will be called Gibsonville and promise*, in return, to become a large and successful expositor of social­ istic 'doctrine. iJwird Donnelly Saves a Life Almost at. the Cost of His Own--After Scars of Suffering He Is Restored to Health--JH1» ' Story M Told to ft Reports* of th* '< Aabnrn Bulletin. ••V-. ' fAabnrn (V. Y.) Bulletin.] IF is on record that upon a chilly April day; a few years ago, an eight- year-old boy fell into the East River at the fcot of East Eighth street, New York, and when a 1 effort* t_> rescue him had failed, Edward Donnelly, at risk of his own life, plunged into the water and, when himself nearly ex­ hausted, saved tho boy from drowning. It was a humane ana eclt-sacrificing deed, and received deserved commenda­ tion in all the newspai ers. There is a sequel to this accident, however, which thus far has not been published. It is to the effect that Don­ nelly was paralyzed ts a re ult of tho cold plunge ana came near dying. Au­ burn people haVe known the family since bis wife was Amanda Grantman and his sister Mrs. S. D. Corry, of 21 Moravia street. Donnelly himself de­ scribes the rescue'a id the result: "I was general foreman ef the F. A. Mulgrew Saw Mills, foat of Eighth 6treet, New York, on the East River. It was cn the 20th of April, 1889, that the boy fell into the ri\ or, and I res­ cued him from drowning. At that time I was in the water so long that I was taken with a deathly chill, and soon became so btiffened up and weak that I could neither work nor walk. For some time I was under treatment of Dr. George McDonald, who said I nad Locomotor Ataxia, He finally gave me up, and on the 1st of June, lo92, my wife and I came up to Auburn. "When the disease first came upon me the numbness began in my heels, and soon the whole of both my feet be- .came affected. There was a cold feel­ ing across the small of my back and downward, and a sense of soreness and a tight pressure on the chest. The numbness gradually extended up both legs and into the lower part of my body. I felt that death was creeping up to my vitals. I was still taking the medicine ('It was Iodide of Potassium,' said his wife), and was being rubbed and having piasters put all over my body, but with no benefit. "1 sent to the Chas. H. Sagar Com­ pany, the popular Auburn druggists and chemists, at 109 and 111 Genesee street, and got three boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pill and began taking them. In three Weeks' timo I was so improved that from being helpless, I was able to help myself and to get up and go to work, and to walk every day from No. 74 Walnut street, where 1 then lived, to Osborne's New Twine Factory, Seymour and Cottage streets --more then a mile--where I was then employed, but all the while I was tak­ ing Pink Pills. = "Then Dr. Patchen, of Wisconsin, uncle of my wife, and who was here on jb visit, began to poo-hoo at me for tak­ ing Pink Pills, and finally persuaded me to stop taking them and lot him treat me. When he returned to the West he left a prescription with Dr. Hyatt, of Autvrn> who also treated me. But their treatment did me no good, and after a while the old trouble returned and I was getting bad again. Then I began to take Pink Pills; nave taken them ever since, am taking them now; have taken in all nearly 20 boxes at an entire cost of less than $10 00 (my other treatment cost me a pile of money), and a^aln I am well and able to work. "If I was able I would at my own ex­ pense publish the virtues of Dr. Williitms' Pink Pills to the whole world, and espe­ cially in Niw York City, where I am much better known than I am her& " Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People without doubt ir.ark the beginning of a more healthful era. They were first com­ pounded by an eminent practitioner, and used as a prescription for many years in Keneral practice with almost incredible success. They are now iriven to fhe public as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all forms of weakness aris­ ing from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful causes of almost ev«>ry ill that flesh is heir to. These pills arc also a specific for the troubles pe­ culiar to females, such as suppressions, all forms of weakness, chronic constipation, bearing down puins, etc.. and in the case of men will give speedy relief and effect a permanent cure in all cases arising' from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt oi price (50 cents a box, or six boxes for J2.50--tbev are never sold iu bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Co,.

Various de­ vices,'have been used with more or less suc(ps8 to insuie clear windows in cold weafther. Holes are bored in the win dow casing, so that the temperature "Inside will be the gams a ̂ that outside. This necessitated the building of a partition at the rear of the window re­ cess. Others coated the inside of the windows with glycerine. But no de­ vice equals the little electric fan for keeping Jack Frost away from the store windows. The fan is so placed that moving air is constantly playing on the face of the window. Air in motion picks up moisture, and it is frozen moisture which coats windows, so that the electric fan keeps the windows dry auod therefore clear.--Chicago Record.

The little £ame is to snatch up a sample of silk in the presence of a customer, pretend with violent gestures to twist it into a rope, and then, with a sudden flout, to shake it free of folds and creases. Anv woman knows that silk such as will un­ dergo treatment of that sort is dura­ ble, but the woman who buys the sijk and tries the experiment at home meets with grievous disappointment. The salesman's twisting process has Ixjen a clever make-believe.--New York Sun. A Shorthandod Committee. Of the twelve railroad men who con­ stituted the committee of tha fctrikers during ths recent conflict between the Scotch railroad companies and their employes no less than nine were more or less maimed. Two had lost fingers, two bad only one leg apiece, two had lost an entire hand, another a foot, an­ other half a hand, while one had been so badly crushed as permanently to af­ fect his health. THE greatest structure reared by human hands is the pyramid of Cheops. Its height is 450 feet, about as high as Pilot Kn )b Mountain in Missouri, and each side is 764 feet long. The base covers about thirteen acres, and there are 89,000,000 cubic feet of ma?onry. It is supposed by some antiquaries that the stones composing it were brought from Arabia, where extensive quarries of the same kind of stone have been "found, and were transported by land and water, a distance of 700 miles.

The boy was found ly­ ing in a bedroom with bread just out of roach. He had been starved and beaten times without number, and hfa emaciated little form was covered with bruises, sores, cuts and burns. Part of his upper lip had been torn away by the father. ... His arms and chest were coverea with cuts, which had been inflictejft with a butcher knife. Across the abdomen was a horrible burn which the father had made with a red-hot poker. One ear had been lopped off with a corn-cutter, dipped in tar and then stuck back on the head. The boy had been deprived of food so long tha* he had gnawed his finger ends to the second joints. He is a hopeless cripple. One of his legs was broken several years ago and, his mother denied nim medical attendance, the fractur® was never reduced.
