THE WORST OF THE WINTER. fcany of the Railroads Forced to Abandon Trains—All Are Seriously Embarrassed. Railway managers bad supposed that with the aevere weather of January “the back bone of Winter was broken;” but on all the northern amt northwestern lines, yesterday and last night, they were experiencing more trouble from drifting snow and severe wind than at any time this winter. The 1., B. & W. yesterday got no train through from Peoria, and all last night had four trains in snow blockades between Peoria and Urbana, 111. The C., 1., St L. &C. Chicago trains are all snowed in between Templeton and Kankakee; and last night a special relief train was sent to St Anne, where the tram which went out yesterday noon was stalled. Superintendent Sherwood last evening received a telegram from Superintendent Jeffrey, of the Illinois Central road, stating Lhat they were having the most severe storm in the history of the road, and no trains would be sent out. ns it was still snowing nd drifting badly. Telegrams were sent from other northern lines ordering that no live stock or perishable property be started northward. The L., N. A. & C. is also snowed under, and yesterday got no trains through to Louisville or Indianapolis from the north. On the Cl, St. L. ic P., Kokomo division, trains might as well have been abandoned, as the oniy one attempted to be run south from Chicago was marked twelve hours late. The Wabash came in, but was several hours late, and brought no Michigan City connection. Trains of the Bee-line were a little off. but those of the C., St. L. & P.. the C., H. A 1.. theC., 1., St. L. & 0.. eastern division, the J., M. & 1., the I. & V., the Vaudalia, and the I. A St. L. through the day arrived nearly on time, less snow having fallen on the lines of these roads. However, it was expected that their night trains would be more or less late. The State-House Itoof. A report that the roof of the State-house was to he partly of wood, and put together in such a way as to endauger the building by fire, has somewhat disturbed the perennial serenity of the commissioners. “I will explain to you just wfiat kind of a roof it is,” said General T. A. Morris. “On the iron rafters of the roof there is a sheeting placed of heavy asbestos board. That goes ou the rafters. Upon that there is an oak sheeting’one and a half inches thick and two inches wide, tongued and grooved and put to gether with white lead. On top of this oak shooting is another sheeting, of asbestos ,boards, and on this is slate a half inch thick, put on with screws. It is what slate roofs seldom are—perfecuj water-tight It will be the only water tight roof in this State. We were four years investigating tho roof question and know exactly what we are doing. The roof will be absolutely fireproof.” Sale of Delinquent Property. The annual sale of tho. property on the city treasurer’s duplicates, on which taxes stood de hnquent, took place yesterday afternoon, at the Wusbiagton-street entrance of the court-house. The number of pieces offered was somewhat less than last year, and about SIO,OOO was received by the treasurer. Among the pieces sold were the Sherman House, bought in by Frank Smith, and the Zoo, bought by Thomas C. Steele. Buy useful presents at King A Elder's.

THE PENNILESS TREASURY. Marion County’s Settlement Provides Enough Cash for a Day’s Demands. A Politician's Predictions that Governor Gray Will Endeavor to Turn Cooper’s Troubles to His Own Account. Marion county settled with the Auditor of State yesterday afternoon, and for a half hour or so State Treasurer Cooper will have some actual cash in his possession. The amount paid in was $13,100, being the balance of SBI,OOO. the remainder of that large amount having from time to time been turned over to the State Treasury in varying sums as Mr. Cooper’s necessities demanded. Os the $13,100 paid in $5,330.20 is school fund money, and not available to pay on legislative or other orders, so there is only $7, 769.80 which is to be divided among the general fund, State-house and university funds. The reporter asked Deputy-auditor Bingham concerning yesterday’s payment and how it was divided among the funds. He replied: “All we know in this office is concerning the full amount in the settlement We have nothing whatever to do with any private dickers that may have taken place between Mr. Cooper and the Treasurer of Marion county.” TREASURER COOPER’S NEW BOND. John J. Cooper will begin his second term of Treasurer of State to-day, but it is not likely that he will be able to immediately give the $700,000 bond required by the Legislative enactment of last Friday, which act was signed by the Governor the day after its passage. Mr. Cooper remarked yesterday that it was impossible to give such a large bond on so short notice unless he could get such men as W. H. English and W. C. DePauw to come to his assistance. He said he had the assurance of Governor Gray that he could have whatever time was necessary in which to secure bondsmen, and that in the meantime lie could be held by tho old bond. Mr. Cooper thinks he will be able to give the bond required in a few days. Attorney-general Hord indorses the opinion of the Governor regarding the bond. Mr. Cooper, when seen by the reporter yesterday, was multiplying tracks in the snow, evidently in pursuit of capitalists who can be prevailed upon to attach their autographs to this new and perplexing bond. X STAB AT SHOEMAKER. The State Treasurer is in no good humor with a number of his co-laborers in the great cause of reform—a reform which disappeared immediately after the election and before the cold weather set in. He has begun to let the cat out of the bag in regard to a number of these fairweather friends, among them John C. Shoemaker. Mr. Cooper says that Mr. Shoemaker came to him some time ago, before he asked for the $5,000 with which rumor is now so busy, and desired to borrow $2,500. Mr. Shoemaker told the State Treasurer, so that individual asserts, that he wanted the money to buy the stock held in the Sentinel Company by ex-Attorney-general D. P. Baldwin. Mr. Cooper did not lend him the money, but Mr. Shoemaker, however he may have felt, held his temper and said nothing disagreeable. In fact, he became exceedingly confidential, and, as Mr. Cooper tells the story, said that if he could not buy Baldwin out cheaply he would see to it that the shares of stock held by that gentleman paid no dividends even if, to prevent it, he would have to vote himself (Shoemaker) as president of the Sentinel Company a salary of SIO,OOO a year. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Cooper is somewhat “long’’ on county orders and other alleged securities, and “short” on cash, Mr. Shoemaker’s confidential communication did not strike him as bearing the John Jacob Townsend seal of business probity, and, in in the light of later revelations, the Sentinel having turned against him, discovering to him “how sharper than a serpent’s tooth it Is to have a thankless” friend, he has opened his lips, loosed his imprisoned tongue, and —talked. GOVERNOR OKAY'S ALLEGED SCHEME. There is a rumor afloat that Governor Gray has determined upon a brilliant political stroke, which is intended to redound to his own great credit, and that no matter what the result of the Legislature’s tinkering may be Mr. Cooper will not be permitted to go uninvestigated. A prominent Democrat, high in authority, and who claims to speak by the card, is the Journal reporter’s authority for the statement that the new Governor has conceived the idea of conducting the investigation on his own hook, in case of the ultimate failure of the Legislature to do the job satisfactorily. “I tell you that few people know Isaac P. Gray,” said the oracle. “He is every inch a politician, and a scheming politician at that, too. You have heard of statesmen whose official life was devoted entirely to the public good, and statesmen for revenue only; but our Governor is a statesman for Gray only. He wants to go to the Senate two years from now, and will shape his acts accordingly, and bend every energy to accomplish the object of his desire. If he could make the least bit of capital for himself by the sacrifice of John Cooper he would not spare him longer than the stroke of an official pen could crush him. His plan is to sail in and conduct a searching investigation of the Treasury’s condition under his own supervision, and if it unearths any so much the better for Gray. It may play very successful hob with Cooper, but ‘it will be the makin’ of the pup.’ Os course, I can’t say positively that this programme will be carried out, but I do know that the Gov ernor has had it under consideration, and. according to my information, has expressed him self privately as inclined to pursue that policy.” By the way, it may be of interest to the public to know that Treasurer Cooper’s present bondsmen are Jackson Landers, John Landers. I. N. Pattison, Franklin Landers, H. W. Miller, Joseph Loftin, James L. Thompson, Sample Loftin, Jacob A. Emerich, Christian Myers. G. H. Carter, Smith H. Myers, H. C. G. Bals, William Johnson, J. P. Frenzel and Otto N. Frenzel. An Astonished Client. Billy Herod is playing in hard luck. Retained in the Finklestine divorce case, he neglected to secure the retainer, and being asked by the plaintiff during the trial the amount of his fee, replied, “One hundred dollars.” “Mein Gott! my freund,” replied Finklestein, “you don’t mean ut? Do you want me stheal?” The attorney compromised at $25, and the client wanted him to pay costs out of the fee. Billy is not saying a word. Union Veteran Army. A meetiug of the Uniou Veteran Army will be held at the court-house this evening, Feb. 10, at 7:30 o’clock. General A. S. Helms, lieutenant commander; R. B. Sears, inspector-goueral and chief recruiting officer, will be present. An invitation is extended to all old soldiers, sons and brothers of soldiers, and especially to those who have enrolled as members of the Union Veteran Army to bo present. Searching for ah Hein Superintendent Lang is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. A Muliensky, 56 Forsythe street, New York, asking for information concerning the whereabouts of Morris Muliensky, her son, aged seventeeen; last heard from at Steubenville, 0., in May, 1881. The letter states that he has fallen heir to a considerable fortune by the death of an uncle. Sleigh-Bells and Bkates, Fine assortment of Sleigh-bells and Ice-skates at low prices.
