A severe snowstorm has been raging on the line of the Central Pacific Kailroad in California, the snow hmng tweii-ty-two feet deep on the !ev 1 at the summit. On Shasta rente, a formidable avalanche of ii:o.v I ; s occurred at Cpper Soda Springs, near Dummuir. b:r-ying the tracks sixty Lot dec; ander .mow. bushes and roc ks. Hundreds of nan are now clearing the tr:;ek. The rivt r at Xapa City has ovcri'mwod its banks and the best iortion .f tin- city is inundated. In Sonoma County several bridges have been swept away and the mads are impassable. Howell Point levee in the Sacramento valley has given way and 12.O0O acres of land p. re tinder water. At Lnsonada, lower California, a large tannery and sever:' 1 residences have been swept away by the unprecedented rise of the river. Two government pilot boats have also been wrecked. On Agua Fria River, twenty miles from Phoenix. Ariz.. Frank Dougherty, while attempting to ford the river, was swept away and perished in. sight of many spectators. Later James Hammond was drowned in Hassayampa Kiver, fifty miles north of Phoenix, while driving a mail coach across the stream. Pooli-Poohs u Ntw K. of I General Secretary-Treasurer John W. Hayes, of the Knights of Labor, is inclined to pooh-pooh the reported movement to disrupt the order and establish nn independent organization. He says: "The last general assembly at New Orleans unseated several of these fellows, and im' they are trying to get back by attempts to disrupt Cue order. The reports against us are magnified by our enemies, and I 1j not believe there is anything in the reported organization of an independent order of Knights of Labor." BREVITIES. M. Saeres, a Peruvian political refugee, has arrived in San Francisco with considerable money. It is said that his mission is to purchase arm: and ammunition for the Peruvian revolutionists. A train nn the Pittsburg, MeKeesport and Youghiogheny Uailroad struck a rock on the tracks one mile west of Coimedsville, Pa. The meager reports received say that Clem Uichter and John (iillmau, trainmen, were killed. The Court Circular says the Queen will go to Darmstadt in April, where she will meet the Czar and C.arina, the Ihnperor and Kmpress of (bermany, ex-Empress Frederick, the Duke and Duchess of SaxeCoburg, Mini the Duke and Duehes.s of Cumberland. The Supreme Court of the United Slates tendered an opinion in the sugar trust case of the Fnited States vs. E. C. Knight a ml ot Iters, involving the validity and constitutionality of the Sherman anti-trust law. Th.e decision holds the law to be :pplieable to the case in hand and confirms the opinion of the Circuit Court. The fight between the otlicers of the United Mine-Workers is waxing warm. A. A. Adams, president of the Ohio district, is out in a er.nl addressed to President Fenna of the national board, reiterating bis charges that the leaders soli cut to the operators when the compromise agreement was made in Columbus hist June. Ho declines Ponna's challenge to submit the proof to the state board, but says he will lay the entire matter, backed by evidence, before the national convention, to meet in Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 12. Adams says three members of the state board will be required to explain certain matters. One hundred thousand negroes will be removed from the States of Alabama, .Georgia and Louisiana, to Northern Mexieo within the next six months. That is the statement made by W. IL Ellis, the manager of the Mexican Colonization Company, who has just returned to S:iu Antonio from Atlanta, (la. Mr. Ellis states that the missionary work among the negroes ia meeting with the greatest success, and the first 10O families will go this week to the promised land. The Mexican citizens living in the section fo bo colonized by the negroes have protested to the Mexican Government against the scheme. The Senate lias confirmed the nomination of Charles D. Clarke for Fnited States Judge for the Eastern and Middle Districts of Tennessee. A committee reoresentinff KX) destitute families in Yuma County, Colorado, has sent out an appeal for clothing, provis- ' -iona, coal, seed and grain. The Spanish Chamber of Deputies has ! adopted the modus vivendi with the United States. J. J. Ilaller. thought to bo a traveling man for a Chicago firm, committed suicide at Dayton, Ohio. i

EASTERN. Ceorge Shea. ex-Judge of the Marine Court at New York, died Tuesday. His son, George Shea, Jr., -- years of age, died before the burial of the father. Wir. f red Smith, the wealthy Indianapolis citizen, who fatally stahl..' Western IS. Thomas at the Brighton Teach Chi! Houe, was found guilty an.l iven c ighteen years ia the penitentiary, lie wdl appeal to the Supreme Court. Ali the demurrers offered by the defendants to the indictments returned hy the Grand Jury against President IIaelr.eyer and Secretary Searhs, of the American Sugar Kefming Company; Kroker Seymour, of New York, and Cor respondents L. J. IMv.ards and J. O. Shriever were overruled by .Indue Cm in the Criminal Court at Washington, and the defendants required to plead lo the indictments. The whole of the Second Krigade of the New York National Guard was ordered to be under arms by 5 oY'.oek Saturday morning. Mayor Schieren made a requisition Friday evening upon K.ignd'u r (Jenoral .Tames McAieer for 7;' or S'o of the Iirooklyn militia to be in readiness to help run the I. roe kly n trolley cara. The all was made upon demand of the trolley road presidents, who claim, as they have for live days, that they have men enough to run the roads if protected. The trolley strike in Kronklyn (o ik a serious turn Friday m rn'ng. owing to the failure of. President Lewis of the P.iooklyn City Company and President Norton of the Atlantic Company to compromise. At the Hush street stables of the Court street lines, where the poliee expected no trouble whatever, strikers to the number of seventy-live engaged in seven lights with the non-union men. ami throe shots were tired by the strikers. The disorder became so great that eight new men deserted the company in fear for their lives, and two more were frightened into deserting tle ir ears 111 route and running away. Five cars of the company wore partly demolished by the angry strikers. William Pitt. Thomas Hack, and Joseph FrmiiK r. each about 1 1 years of age, ran awv.y from Sr. Vincent's Industiial School, at Ftica. N. Y.. a few days ago. Friday the bodies of P.u -k and Frminor were found in the woods near Herkimer. They had boon frozen to dalh. Pitt was found in a tarn near by y badly frozen that his legs wiil have to be amputated. Pitt says he and his companions wandered about the woods. They did not Roe a lioue after Tuesday night and had nothing to eat. Pitt told his companions to count their beads and say their prayers, and it is evident that they were thus engaged when death claimed them. Pitt says he remained wilh his companions until their hearts ceased to beat and he knew they were dead.

WESTERN. Families of striking miners at Akmi, Ohio, whore the men have had but six weeks' work since last April, are on the verge of starvation. It has been made clear that insanity ami undue inllnence will ho the grounds on which the contest of the will of the late Senator Fair will be based. Ex-Congrossnian George E. Dorsey and Ii. C. Oulcalt were indicted by the Federal grand jury at Omaha, charged with aiding in the wrecking of banks. An ej;rt to instruct John M. Thurston when Senator to vote for the foreclosure of government mortgages on the Pacific Pailroad was lost in the Nebraska House of Representatives. Twelve pupils have been expelled from the Ann Arbor high school on account of their connection with fraternities. Considerable feeling has been aroused among the parents of the expelled pupils. The great Cincinnati and New Orleans steamer State of Missouri went to the bottom of the Ohio Kiver at Wolf Crook, thirty-live miles above llawosville, Ky., at ( o'clock Saturday night and forty people met death. The stcamloat was one of the largest steamers belonging to the Cincinnati and Memphis Packet Company, and was a now boat worth .(X0. She had about half a cargo of furniture, nails, acids, etc. After the whole country was searched over Earrett Scott's body was found Saturday night at It) o'clock in the Niobrara Iliver, about thirty feet below the bridge of Poyd County, Neb.. c!ose up to the bank and in about seven feet of water. The body was in shirt sleeves, but S ott's watch and chain and other personal effects were found just as he wore thorn in life. A now hempen rope, ahmt one and one-half inches in diameter, was found around the neck of the body, and the end, about throe feet long, was dangling in the water. Scott was hanged by vigilants before being thrown over the bridge into the water. There was a slight wound on the right side of the neck where a bullet had grazed it. Olücials of th.e Kansas penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., were astonished the other day on the appearance of a welldressed man in the Warden's ollice, who said: "I have come to put on a striped suit." He pulle! a commitment, sentencing him to the penitentiary for two years, out of his pocket, and it developed that without an olücial of any kind to guard him the prisoner had come all the way from Guthrie, Ok., to undergo confinement. The prisoner's name proved to be E. 15. Milliken. until recently City Clerk of Guthrie, and who was convicted of embezzlement end given two years in the United States Court a few days ago. He. is the first prisoner ever to arrive at the penitentiary without a guard, and the oliioials would scarcely believe his story at first. Mayor Johnson of Springfield, Ohio, has begun active work as attorney for the heirs, scattered all over the country, of the James Holmes estate, which is said to be valued at about $HK),0(KMX). This is largely in money in the 1'ank of England. A big meeting of the heirs was hold at Decatur, III., resulting in Mayor Johnson's ei ployment. Holmes was a South Sea Island trader in 17-7. An effort was made sixty years ago by American heirs to obtain iMs;ossion of the property, but it was abandoned on account of the death of the principals. Among the prominent heirs interested in the case are: Judge Alfred Ennis of Chicago, Mrs. luford of New York City. Charles Nimrod, a millionaire of St. Ijoius; Dr. Alex. Holmes Shaw of Cincinnati: Dr. James P.ahlwin, cashier Commercial Pank of Pittsburg: John Ihildridge. coal operator of Springfield, Ohio, and Dr. T. J. McLaughlin. Eeeause lie could not assent conscientiously to a verdict ordered by Judge Seaman in the United States Circuit Court a. Ch:io, Wednesday, Juror Julius

Clayton those the alternative of arrest on the charge of contempt. Clayton tald though it meant imprisonment he ooe.M net bring himself to give assent to a ' erdict which he believed in his heart was wr ng. The scone ended linally by Judge Seaman, moved apparently by admiration for Clayton's steadfastness, consenting to noii-se.it the cao. The other 1 levin jurors 1 elieved with Mr. Clayton a verdict for the plaintiff should lie given, but under the direction of the .Tudg as is the la. w they had agreed, to render a verdict for the defendant, though ue l r prote.-t. The case was that ot Marie Caliiil against th.e Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul Iiailroad. The girl was run ox, v by a switch engine while she was going to her woik in the stock yards. She was dragged some distance and one foot was cut olf. Then a brakeman gave a signal to back and the young woman was cam: it once moie under the wheels an l her other foot was cut off and her shoulder brok'-n. She brought suit for .SJ..n:r damages Judge Seaman said no negligence o -nid he shown on the part of the railroad, and that the plaintiff was a trespasser. SOUTHEiUI.

Kevenne onieors destroyed an illicit steam distillery near Aunistown. Ala. It had a capaeity of eighty gallons. Governor Hogg of Texaö gave way to Charles Culher .:.:i. who too!; the oath at a joint session ot" the Legislature at Austin. The surviving mend.: rs of Mosby's confederate command, the Forty-third Pattalion, Virginia Cavalry, held a reunion at Al. xandiia. Va. Franklin V.

A rumor that the !:!:,. .is (ntr.il is negotiating for the purchase of the West Xashvi'h dummy line in order to secure intrame to that city is current at Nashville, Teun. In the United States C mi t at Kn o.vih'e. Tenn.. the Kev. William Hunt, a llaptist preacher, was i-onvictcd of nmonshining. He is nearly years of age ami whs for several years a justice of the peace in Monroe County. The directors of the (lalveston Cotton Exchange have advised the New Oilcan-; Cotton Exchange that they heartily and most urgently recommend to the planters of Texas ami the cotton-growing States a reduction of ÜÖ per cent, in acreage to ho planted this year as the only way of restoring prices to a compensating basis. News was received at Mobile, Ala., of the wreck of the schooner Ib-njainin Kich in the storm of Jan. 11 while bound from St. Andrew's Pay to Jamacia. Forty passengers were aboard, including Minister Livingston and other prominent and wealthy people. A rescue was effected by the steamship Haugesund, bound from Mobile to Hocus, which discovered the passengers on an island. The largest fire in the history of Macon, Ga.. broke out there Friday night in the wholesale dry goods house of S. YVaxelbaum Son. The building and its contents were -uickly destroyed and the fiames spead to the store of the American Sho" Iiroker.s. tin m e to the Dan'ap Hardware Company's establishment, and were threatening the wholesale dry goods house of J. Dannenberg r & Co. w hen put under control. Aid was ashed from Atlanta and Augusta, but before rosp-.nse had been received the local firemen had mäste red the lire. Its origin is unknown. The1 total loss is estimated at $.0,nw. POLITICAL. United States Senator Camden has been renominated by the Democrats of the West Virginia Legislature. Governor Hastings was inaugurated at I larrisburg. Pa., a parade and display of fireworks following the ceremony. George F. Hoar and William E. Chandler were re-elected to the Senate by the Legislatures of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, respectively. Delaware has inaugurated a Governor who can neither read nor write. For the first time in the history of the State there was no inaugural address and this set piple to iiKjuiry. Governor Joshua Marvil is a business man of good repute and worth at least M."VMK. which he made by shrewd investments. Marvil can not sign his name. Knowing his weakness he secured the services of N. I. Smiihors, a leading lawyer, as Secretary 01 State, and Smitheis will virtually bo .he Governor. The Republican caucus at Springfield, Jlh, renominated Shelby M. Culhmi to succeed himself in the United States Senate for the term beginning March 4 next. The only candidates before the caucus wore Mr. CuJlom and George S. Willits. Only one roll-call was necessary to elect Mr. Cnllom. The vote stood: Cu'dom, lbv; Willits, 21. All of the Republican Senators and Ileprosontaiiws were present except one. Representative McKiuzie, of Joe Daviess, was absent on account of serious illness in his family. FOREIGN. There has boon rebellion at Honolulu, and blood lias been shed. Charles L. Carter, who was one of the annexation commissioners, was killed and other government supporters were wounded. There has been much fighting, and at least twelve natives have boon killed. Nearly HO) revolutionists are under arrest. Ib.bert Wile-ox is the leader of the rebels. Th.e fighting was still in progress when the steamer Alameda, which brought the liO YS, left Honolulu Jan. 11. but the government fore-e's bad pi-actically overcome the revolutionists. M. Felix Fa ure, Minister of Marine in the present Cabinet, was elected 011 the second ballot Thursday to be President of the French republic. Fa 11 re polled !.() votes, to 0l votes polled by his nearest opponent, I.risson, Prosident of Iho Chamber of Deputies. The socialists protested violently when the result of t'! ballot was made known. President Faure raid: "I am deeply touched beyond all expression by the great honor the Natimal Assembly has conferred upon me. I did not seek the exalted mission yon have invested me with, but nevertheless I accept the charge with profound gratitude and ti full sense of the responsibility ind duties it impose;. You know me, von need not doubt that 1 will devote all ;ny energy to the accomplishment of my heavy task. 1 cease from this moment to

We will always meet henceforth in our e- eumon work inspired by love of count rv, devotion to the republic, care of jusiic r.'d selicitr.de fr the 1 -t of all citizens and over all for the lowly and humble. ' S ;:.. thing of a scare ,as occasioned in Washington by the p-iMic.-.tN-n of a be.'.lot In to the cliYct that the State Department had eeen informed that the Hamburg authorities had f .-rhiddcii the importation f cattle aii'l swine fr en England and In land, the supposition being that the decree was reaiiy aimed at Ann riea in the interest of th.e countries nannd. To appreciate the p .ssible significance of the order it may be exph-iued that a very large proportion of the Ann ri- a.n meat prod.uets that go to European markets pass through England and Ireland, being iv.-diippcd from there. Ilein-e it might seem at i'irst blush that the lew Hamburg order might have a sin'ster bearing on American commerce. Such, however. l es not seem to be the ca.se. at least that is the construction placed :i it at the State Department. The understanding there is that the original orders shutting out cur cntt'e and meats from German ports was made broad, enough to cover shipments via English anl Irish ports, an 1 that no supplemental rulings or decrees were necessary. I'mler conditions, as they have existed for several months, Germany can do c.a tly what it we.s at first feared she was contemplating under the new order. Definite and fuller infermati' n may put a worse construction on the Hamburg bulletin than is at present warranted, but th.e best information now obtainable does not warrant sensational deduction. The order limrely puis Great Ilritaiu on the sane basis with the United Slates with regard to the exportation of cattle and swine to Germany. That being an item of no mean importan :v in the Eritish trade, that country may be expected 1 make a loud n.ar over the outrage. It gives this country a new and powerful aiiy in its tight for fair play with the stubborn Teutonic authorities. IM GENERAL The Supreme Court of Canada has decided that provincial hgis'atims have no power to prohibit the sale of Jhjuor. W. F. McLean. M. P.. proprietor of thoTen.nto World, was lined -SI and cos's for publishing en Sunday a newspaper containing a report of the (J'obo lire. Over ,'5.(,di unemployed workingtnen surrounded the city hall at Montreal at noon while their representatives were making a demand on Ihe Mayor for vor:i or bread. The mob became turbulent and impeded traffic on the streets. A lire engine had to bo calh'd to disperse the e-rowd. It is rumored that when the Canadian Parliament meets in Fe bruary the speech from the throne will contain a prop sition for the construction of the Huron and Ottawa Canal by the government or by a private corporation, with a liberal government subsidy. This moans the construction of a deep-water canal from near Parry Sound, on Georgian Pay. to the Ottawa Kiver, near Eenfrew, a distance of lilt) miles. A vessel can then pass from the Sauit Ste. Marie or the Straits of Mackinac direct to Montreal in h ss time than it now requires to roach EufiY'lo or the entrance ef the Weiland Canal tui Lake Erie. II. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: There are some good signs, but they do not as yet extend to business generally, whieh hesitates much as it has .tone for months. Gold continues to go abroad, .rr.r.."iM)tii) having gone last week, and the lie licit of revenue is already over ?'.),.( K.),W for the month. This state of facts, with the failure of Congress to make provision for 1 orrowiug or for in-reasing revenue, r-till operates to retard a wholesome recovery. The volume of domestic trade represented by exchanges through clearing-houses is again about 7 per cent, larger than last yi ar. as it was in the first week of the month, but is t!.'h7 per cent, smaller than two years ago, a higher lute ef decrea.se than for some time past. OverbVHK) unemployed Montreal. Que., workingmeii surrounded the City Hail at noon Wednesday and threatened to invade the building if their demand for work or bread was not at once complied with. Thousands of wcrkingnion have been thrown out of employment by the closing of the Canadian Pacific Railway shops, and many of the men who have families to support have grown desperate and are prepared to r.'sort to vioJeir-o. Serious trouble was averted only by th cool heads among the leaders. A large delegation was selected to interview the Mayor, and the vast crowd lvmaiiied on.side while the delegates entered. Mayor Villeucauve cxpivssod his sympathy with those who were out of employment, and suggested that a requisition be pre.-ented to him to call a mass meeting at the IToar.I of Trade rooms. The requisition was immediati'ly signed and presented to the Mayor. MARKET nEPOHTS.

Cab. dispatch on "Monday reported another storm raging in the mountain and, although there is more snow on the ground than there has boon fer live years, it is rapidly growing deeper. Owing te the vioh'iice of the sterm and the possibility of a tie-up at any moment, no more freight will be moved until the storm abates. The snow is banked up alongside of the track in places nearly thirty feet, and the rotary plows are beginning to work with litiiculty in these places. Hundreds of men are employed in shove-ling the snow so as to w iden the space between the banks. As it is now, the snow scrapes the sides of the cars, and as the plows can not work to advantage the shovelers work in tiers grading the banks. A number of enormous slides have occurred. Chicago Wins Ih r I'iglit. The House of lteprosentat ives, by a vote of 1H7 yeas to ."1 nays, passed the bill authorizing the erection of a government building in Chicago ltpon the site of the present postolhee. The bill is the original bill without any appropriation. The portion of the second section of the bill, which provided for an appropriation, was stricken out. The bill goes to the Senate without a dollar of appropriation, even for the preparation of the plans. The theory is that if the bill shall become a law so iiui' ii as shall he necessary to commence work upon the building during the first liscal year shall be incorporated in the sundry eivil appropriation bill.
