WHEW!

The Coldest Day of th« Season and of Many Seasons.

Contrary to all predictions the winter of 1883-84 is proving to be a very severe one. On the 14th of last month the first snow fell, and with the exception of two or three days there has been very good sleighing. Until Thursday morning the weather has not been too cold for real enjoyment. Thursday morning the thermometer began to go down, until it went below zero. Thursday evening' the thermometer marked 10 degrees below, about ten o'clock it began to grow warmer, and at one o'clock yesterday morning It was snowing. Then it _grew colder, and at daylight was 20 degrtes below, and in some instances thermometers marked 40. Yesterday, at noon, the weather was intensely cold. The wind blew and the snow flew. Many will remember that the snow was very fine and light but pelted in a person's face like small eleet. That snow was blown troinjhe prairies of northern Illinois and Iowa and southern Minnesota.

Iu Lhat country it came with greater force, and in the extreme northern pait of Iowa and all through Minne aota and Dakota it is known as a "bliazard." But, thanks to our geographical position, we are too far sonth to havt a genuine "bliziard." Last night it grew colder, and remained so all through the night. At six o'clock thin morning the thermometer marks 14° below, decidedly the coldest it has been. this winter in this city. The night was so cold as to prevent much travel on the streets, and op.ly pressing business would bring a man put. Many water pipes have frozen, also gas pipes. The water works will no doubt experience much trouble. All plugs should be -esMHuioed—kooie«li«,tely, Thar-oas in the court house was very weax last evening, caused by a pipe freezing. The county offices were in darkness at supper time. In the recorder's office an old-fashioned tallow candle was the only light to be h£id. The cold has lessened the attendance at the city schools. The river undoubtedly froze over last night in many places. The ice men and tho. coal men will rejoice.

The Weather.

CHICAGO, 111, January 4.—The extreme cold weather yesterday and last night retarded all passenger and freight trains. Eleven miles southwest of the stock yards, on the Wabash railrtfed, there stands a stock train of twenty cars of famishing, freesing live stock. The train "was snowed under and stalled Tuesday night, since which time the nimals were without food or water. rescuing party drove within, three miles of the train and then abandoned the pleigh jind walked. The party returned, several of whom were badly frostbitten. It is believed the stock perished. At one this afternoon the thermometer stood 15° below.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., January 4.— Tho weather is intensely cold. The thermometer at noon registered 30° below, the oo!dest at this time of day for twenty-five years.

At Omaha the thermometer is quoted at 17° below zero, and at Dubuque 26° below at nine o'clock this morning.

CINCINNATI, O., January 4.—Very cold and snowing. Ice is forming in the river.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., January 4.—Cold and snowy. Business dull. CAIRO, 111., January 4.—Cloudy. Thermometer at zero.

TORONTO, Can., January 5.—The storm continues unabated. The country roads and railroads are blocked. Traffic is almost suspended.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., January 4.—This has been the coldest day of the season, the mercury marking from two above to four below zero according to the locality. Railroad traffic is somewhat impeded. Nearly all trains are from uVo to six hours late. The river is full of heavy floating ice and if! the weather does not moderate materially within twenty:four or thirty-six hours, gorges will be formed below the city and navigation will be suspended indefinitely.

ROCKFORD, 111., January 4.—This was the coldest day in forty years. The thermometer was about 25 below all day and at.eight o'clock this evening is 32° below.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., January 4.— The Tribune specials confirm the reports of the coldest weather for years. At Brainferd at six o'clock this morning it was 42° below, at Fon du Lac 30° below. In this city, to-night, it is 25° below, and going d'»wn. Last night it ranged from 80° to 35° below, and it is believed to-night it will touch a lower mark.

ST. PAUL, January 4.—The coldness of the weather along the railroad lines is to-day indicated in the following figures: On the Manitoba, all division"?, 35 to 30° below zero. West of Glendine there was no thermometer report, but itr general term& it was very cold. Oh the Dakota division it was 40° below on the St. Paul & Dakota it ranged from 38 to 25° below, the latter being the figure for Duluth on the Omaha line, eastern division of the St. Paul, 30° below New Richmond, 3ft° below Superior junction and Superior City, 34° bt'low, etc.

CHICAGO, Hi., January 4.—Springfield, 111., at 10 o'clock,'17° below, and at the signal service, Winnepeg, 32° below.

Gov. Btttler Writes Bis Opinion of Its Merit* to tile Irish Warid.

N«w YORK', Ni Y., January 4.—The following is a letter froai Gov. Batler to the'editor of the Irish World, and it speaks for itself:

BOSTON, Mass., December 88,1883. DEAB SIB: I have watched with ereat interest the conduct of. the English government as regards O'Donnefl. Lassume that, this is the condition of a foreigner, under, a government other than his own: First, that he owes an allegiance and is liable to all the pains and penalties for any act that he is supposed to have done that a subjectof the government he lives in is. Second, that all the laws throwing safeguards around a man placed at the bar to be tried for his life known to that country in regard to its est citisess are to be afforded to him. The question therefore is, had O'Donnell all those Safeguards? The right of process given him to produce witnesses in bis oehalf, the right freely to consult counsel of b^s own selection, the right to know who the jurors were who were to be called to pass upon his case beforehand, in order to be able to prepare himself to exercise his right of challenge—of course, I can know nothing with certainty upon these points. Your letter to me states thatO Donnell was denied them. The newspapers have stated the same fact, and, so far as I know, without contradiction. Assuming these statements to be true, it. is very clear that aJair and just trial was denied O'Donnell. That being the case, it was the duty of our government, through its executive branch, to interfere, and that branch of the government did so, and asked that he might be respited. I made such a request from the government-before any movement was made by any other party to my knowledge. England.has chosen to refuse to enteitain that request The course of justice toward O'Donnell is not what England wishes and asks for in regard to one of her own subjects iu this country. There was one Amero, a subject of Great Britain, living in Vova Scotia, came here, and while he was here a woman, Carleton by name, was foully murdered, and suspicion fell upon Amero, who went to Nova Scotia. Those suspicious were confirmed by his statements to his relatives, that he was concerned in Some murder about that time. If became my duty as gov ernor of Massachusetts, to move the president for a process of extradition upon the authorities of the Dominion 'oHJsnadjHor his deliver up to the justice of Massachusetts. When he was arrested in NovaScocia. Amero was taken before the court tnere and a full hearing was had. From the evidence there adduced there was little doubt of his guilt, if be was sane. The learned judge who, heard the cause made application to ths Dominion authorities, and they made application to the

British Minister at Washington, and the British Minister made representations to the secretary of state, who called the matter to my attention and asked that Amero Bhould be assured a fair trial. I replied that be would be fairly tried that learned counsel would be assigned by the court to defend Amero, which was done, and I detailed two of the state's detectives to assist his counsel in looking up evidence in Amero's behalf and the result of the examination I believe will be that Amero will not be tried at all. I have given you, my friend, an instance of the course of justice in the United States in the case of a British subject done at the request of the British Minister, seconded by the request of the secretary of State of the United States. Compare the course of. the authorities in the United States, under my administration, with what was done to O'Donnell, an American citiaen in England, by the English authorities, and there can be no stronger criticism on O'Donnell's case than is the case of Amero. It was easy to use hard words about the case of O'Donnell, but giv ing Amero's case brings out broad facts. Is the Golden Rule applicable to nations: "Do as you would be done by?" It has been asserted that I was counsel for O'Donnell by a Boston newspaper, and received fee for some action in his behalf all of which is untrue and was asserted without warrant. I am very truly your friend and servant,

CARLISLE OP KENTUCKY.

HJ Will Not Refuse the Senatorslilp if JSlected, WASHINGTON, D. C., January 4.— A gentleman of veracity stated last night that Mrs. Carlisle said in course of social conversation that It" looked very much as if her husband will be elected senator by the Kentucky legislature.' She said: "Mr. Carlisle is receiving lots of letters by every mail now from his friends in different parte of the Btaie urging him to consent to the use of his name in the cauctiB. He will refuse to do so, but it really looks like they will use it any way and nominate him. Of course if he is nominated he will not refuse it."

This settles any doubt there i"ay have been in the minds of Carlisle friends about hiBaccepting the position if elected. He formally refuses to have hiB name presented as a candidate in the caucus, but announces that he will accept if elected. One of hitconfident friends stated that Carlisle, in fact, expects te be elected that" he thinks it will become apparent to Blackburn that be (Blackburn) can hot be elected and that he will withdraw in favor, of Carlisle, as Blackburn will favor almost any one to defeat Williams. It is said Carlisle's object in refusing several junketing trips during the holidays was to keep in correspondence with his Kentucky friends.

Mr. Carlisle has accepted the invitation of the Commonwealth club of Philadelphia to attend a banquet to be tendered him. The date has been changed from the 12th to the-19th inst. He will go to Philadelphia on the night of the I8th.

HANDSHAKING AS A FINE ART.

President Arthur Avoids Fatigue and Lameness of the Arm by Doing the Shaking Himself. .') Bpccial to the Courier-Journal, 5

WASHINGTON, D. 0., January 3.— The subject of the president's New Year's reception arose in conversation yesterday between a cabinet officer and a prominent senator. The senator spoke of the necessary fatigue one muBt undergo in shaking so many people by the band. The cabinet officer replied that the president bad told him that on such occasions he always took care to do the shaking himself and not al tow the visitor an opportunity to seize his hand first. In this way much of the fatigue and lameness that would necessarily ensue is prevented. This way of shaking hands is soon learned by every person who has a godd deal of that business to do. Other person* who do Dut little shaking, but often meets with tho man who thinks that the only proper way of shaking is to endeavor to crack the knuckles, might remember the advantage of always getting the grip first.

INDUSTRIAL.

Improvement In the Irpn Market Reported from Pittsburg. PITTSBURG, Pa., January 4.—The

number of idle men in this city at present is unusually large, owing to the glass strike and depression in the iron and coal trades. An advertisement in a labor paper Wednesday for twenty coal miners elicited three hundred responses in twenty-four hours. A prominent labor leader claimed to-day that if he advertised for one thousand men to work on the streets at $1.10 per day

.....

•rew

he wouid have five thousand applicants inside of a week. Reports, however, from 'various iron mills of the city- show abetter condition oftbingo than was anticipated a month ago. Nearly all the inn and steel mills ore now running, with fair pros pec ts of an increase of business during the piesent month. The Republic iron works, on the sonth side, •that down for some time oh account of »break, will Btart Monday, with plenty at business to keep them going steadily, The Biac)c Diamond steel works are about to lay a train of the largest rolls in the world, while several other milja are now working a double turn. There seems to be a growing demand for iron, and manufacturers are dpily growing more hopeful. Business is increasing and the outlook is more encooragioff.

England and Egypt.

CAIBO, January 4.—'The relations between England and Egypt are strained. Egypt has sent a note to Great Britain pointing out that the present state of things in Egypt can not continue and asking a final decision upon the Soudan vUestion. If England refuses the assistance asked, the Khedive and ministry are determined to abandon to Turkey Eastern Soudan and reduce the Egypti&n tribute to the porte. The Egyptian troops will then be concentrated at Egypt proper, thus giving a force of 15,000 men to protect the frontier, without the aid of the Edglish army. Evelyn Baring thinks 15,000 men insufficient for that service.

Vlllard does Under.

Niw YOBJC, N. Y., January 4.—Henry Villard made an assignment to-day for the benefit of his creditors, to Wm. Endicott, Jr., and H. White, of New York. He transfers to them his property and mansion on Madison avenue, with instructions to dispose of them at public or private sale and apply the proceeds first to the payment of interest of a mortgage of $200,000 upon the property secondly, to carry out any existing contracts for the completion of the edifice.

The JPapal Propaganda.:

ROMI, January 4.—It is said that the Propaganda being, Tuesday next, to examine certain of Errington* proposals in regard to the line of conduct of Irish clergy, with a view to better severance of their connection with the agitators of Ireland. Especially does the attitude of American Fenians require further action. The Propaganda has promised to examine the matter from amoral point of view, and will take action accordingly.

Inability of Landlords for Gambling, GHIOA0O, 111,, January 4.—Judge

Smith, of the Superior court, rendered a decision declaring unconstitutional the act of the legislature under which damages could be recovered from owners of houses in which, money had been lost gambling. The principal reason given is that the constitution provides that each act of the legislature shall have a title and that .only one subject is to be embraced in one act.
