Chicuuo uu<l Vicinity Temporarily Conquered by the Elements— Two i:«!y Fires on Hand at Once -Train Wrecker Captured and Lynched. Transmississippi Congress. 'Three hundred delegates wore present Monday at the opening session of the transmississippi congress at Omaha, which was presided over by ex-Delegate to Congress (Jeorge Q. Cannon, of Utah, who was elected president of the congress at the St. Louis gathering last year. The general object of the congress is the promotion of the welfare of the West, and under this head a vast number of questions have been scheduled for discussion and action. Among those are the ^irrigation of arid lands, the improvement “<»f waterways and deep-water harbors, the construction and maintenance of levees on the Mississippi and its tributaries. discriminations in transmisHissippi freight rates, the necessity for a national bankrupt law, the restriction of immigration, methods for the relief of agricultural depression, the project for cable communication with Honolulu and the admission of territories to Statehood. Blizzard at Chicago. One of the most disagreeable storms in the annals of weather bureaus descended on Chicago late Monday afternoon. It rained, it snowed, and between times sleet pelted down pitilessly. Untold damage was caused by the elements. When night came the downpour of the mixture of snow and rain and sleet came heavier and the wind, which was gusty in the afternoon, rose to a gale. The streets the pavements ami sidewalks were Hood cd to a depth of three inches with slush. The storm made the pavements almost impassable; street car traffic was seriously interfered with; trolley lines wen broken with the weight of the snow; telephone and telegraph wires were borne down, broken and crossed until half the wires in the city were made useless bi midnight, and communication with the outside world was entirely cut off ex eept at long intervals. Ends of broken trolley and other electrically charged wires dropped into the streets to the positive danger of passers. Numbers of ao i dents of this sort were reported fr un various parts of the city, and the opera lion of trolley lines in the outskirts of the city suspended early in the evening 01. many streets. Then, too, the lake was lashed to a seething caldron, ami it seems a miracle that many (mats w ere not not lost at the harbor entrance, ns a twodays’ storm had driven them all to that end of the lake, and snow obscured the harbor lights. 'I wo Fires at Once. Eire completely burned out the interior of the five-story building at the southwest corner of Wabash avenue and Randolph street, Chicago. Monday night shortly after 11 o’clock. Eight firms oc eupied the building, which is owned by A. S. Trude. The loss will aggregate $150,000. Though the blaze was con fined to the Trude building, the firemen had to make one of the stubborn battles for which the Chicago department is famous. The gale was blowing fifty miles an hour, and in every direction were enormous stocks of goods stored in in Hummable* buildings. A second fire in Haymarket Square at the same time did several thousand dollars' damage. Cuban Insurgents Hum a Town. Details from Santa Clara show the town of Guimi de Miranda. Cuba, the most important in the district, has been burned by the insurgents commanded by Roioff. A majority of the brick houses of the place and fifty palm huts were destroyed.

BARROWS STEPS OUT. NOTED CHICAGO DIVINE HAS RESIGNED. congregation Declined to Give Him a Vacation, So He Takes One at His 1 Own Expense — Secretary Morton Stands by His Chief. Church Loses Its Pastor. Because the trustees of the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago refused to give him a six-months’ leave of absence to deliver the Haskel! course of lectures in India, the Rev. Dr. John Henry Barrows has resigned his pastorate to take effect Feb. 16. For fourteen years Dr. Barrows has been pastor of the church. He is know n all over the world, and his work in connection with the Parliament of Religions at the World's Fair added to the lame he already possessed as a pulpit orator.'a lecturer, author, and organizer of religious work. Dr. Barrows is the lecturer in the department of comparative religions at the University of Chicago, and has acci pted the Haskell lectureship, a course of which has been mapped out for India. To deliver this course Dr. Barrows asked his church for six monihs’ time, but the trustees of the -Lurch lielieved if he were to be absent for that length of time it would be fatal to

the interests of the church, and consequently the request was refused. Dr. Barrows immediately tendered his resignation. Interferes to Save Life. Mae Stuart, formerly a foreman on William A. Paxton's cattle ranch, near Ogalalla. is now in jail in Hidalgo Del Parreil, Mexico, under sentence of death. He has written an appeal to Mr. Paxton to help him. The latter referred his letter to Secretary Morton, who in turn referred it to Sec retary Olney, am! instructions were at once sent to the American Consul for the Province of Chihuahua to stop the execution until this government could fully investigate. Mr. Stuart says he was railroaded through the Mexican courts without a chance to properly defend himself. Shortly after he arrived at Hidalgo Del Parrel! he was accosted by a policeman, who put him under arrest. which he resisted, saying he was innocent of an" crime and was arrested because he was a stranger.

Attempts to Stab in Open Court. At Georgetown. Ky.. Secretary of ; State John W. Headly created a small I panic tn the court room by attempting to , stab Attorney John Brand. ’The men were on opposite sides of a ease on trial and quarreled. After a little exchange of words Headly suddenly drew a busi-ness-like looking knife, and made several rapid motions not provided for in the briefs. Brand did a bit of clever dodging and escaped unhurt. Court attaches disarmed the belligerent Secretary of State and the ease went on. NEWS NUGGETS. Ex Priest Dominick Wagner, of St. Joseph.

The St. Louis Board of Fire Underwriters has a rocky path to traverse if it persists in its efforts to drive Mrs. Eli Getz out of the insurance business.

l| EXILED ON A LONELY ISLE. > ’ Peter Green Is Monarch of All He Snr* vey« on Tristan d’Acunah. x A correspondent states: One of her .najesty’s men-of-war recently paid the annual visit to Tristan d’Acunha, a small volcanic island In the South At- । lantic, to bring home letters from the । little community of ninety persons who live in that isolated spot. These have just reached England, and it appears from the communications that Teter Green, the venerable chief of the island, is still alive, and has again been instrumental in saving the lives of shipwrecked crews. The old man’s record of life saving on this lonely islet is probably unique. The government of King Humbert has sent Mr. Green a handsome silver medal and diploma, together with a sum of £4O to divide among his people, in recognition of the gallantry displayed by them in rescuing the crexv of an Italian vessel which was wrecked on the rocky shore of Tristan. The President of the United States had previously sent the sturdy old hero a chronometer and chain as a token of his appreciation of a similar noble action in the case of an American vessel. Green, by reason of his proLracted residence at Tristan, has be- , come quite attached to the island and

now expresses his Intention of ending his days there. It is some sixty years since he saw any of his relatives. He has latterly become vested with the duty of solemnizing marriages, and on one memorable day "spliced” no fewer than five couples—two of them natives of Tristan, two of them belonging to Italy, and one couple from England. The aged chieftain records with satisfaction a visit to Tristan d’Acunha from the governor of St. Helena, who was on. his way to that island, and states that the latter was successful in “putting to rights" his clock, which had stopped for a long time. At the urgent request of Mr. Green a "national anthem” for Tristan has been specially written by G. Newman of Finsbury road, Woodgreen. The latter had a relative—Captain Anderson of the ship Benares—who was shipwrecked off Tristan in 1868, rescued and succored by Green, and since then Mr. Newman ■ has corresponded with him. For several years his letters were sent by ships ot war from the admiralty; of late a • man-of-war has called there once a ‘ year with mails.—London Telegraph. Invented, by an American Tar. Curiously enough, the so-called "English" device for stopping upshot holes In a vessel’s sides to keep the water ■ from pouring in and sinking the Taft was invented by an old sailor of rho name of Winchester of Philadelphia, as alleged by the Record of that city. This • paper says that the English patent was described as an arrangement not unlike an umbrella, which was thrust I through the shot hole and tlnm opened, . staying the flow of water. In the event of the shot striking at the coal bunk- ] ers It would be a difficult matter to get at the opening from the interior of the I vessel, but the 'Winchester plug makes provision for this. That is. as explained, the shot hole having been located, the plug is lowered over the side of the boat to the vicinity of the opening, and the suction of the water will rake hold of the air-ball and carry the ball into its place. The braces have already been adjusted to the size and Thickness of the plate, anil they automatically open after the cover has adjusted Itself over the break and bold the plug ’ln place. This will almost stop the ! flow entirely; or, If the bole can bs j gotten at from the inside, the plug can be tightened by means of a nut and screw, entirely stopping the inflow.— New York Sun. When We Will Be Safe. The projectile and the big gun c.~d the armor have their turn on the proving grounds, and the Governmentjex- - perts see to it that no undue advantage Is afforded in either event. The new thirteen-inch gun bad its opportunity at Indian Head the other day when a projectile weighing 1.100 pounds, devolving a velocity of 1.800 feet, a second and an energy of 24.736 foot tons, tired from a distance of 4.'«*i yards, passed through a sheet of steel fifteen inches thick and buried itseif twelve feet in the earth beyond. Os course, the next trial will show that the best modern armor plate is projectile proof, but what the experts want to show is the irresistible and invincible in all three. Then the country will be properly safe. —Philadelphia Times.

A wonder in the form of horseflesh may be seen at Houghton's stable in Bennington. Vt. The animal is of the Clydesdale breed, 5 years old, eighteen hands high and weighs 2,1'» pounds. He wears shoes that weigh twenty pounds. His head Is large as a half barrel. He belongs to Ernest Tuder, of Somerset, and is used with a mate somewhat smaller in lumbering on the mountain. He is probably the heavies piece of horseflesh in all New England. He asks me will I share his lot, A fool I'd be to scorn it. Who wouldn't share a lot like his.
