Blizzards and Snow From Canada to Kansas—Ralph Lee Indicted—Two States Boycotted A Wealthy Widow’s Admirer—Dying. Persecuted by an Admirer. St. Louis, December 21.—A stiange case, almost a parallel of that of Senator Jones, was given publicity here today, and created a great deal of comment. 1 he principals are Mrs. Grace January, one of the prettiest and wealthiest women in the city, and Gen. O. P. Gooding, a police commissioner. Gen. Gooding is a bachelor of fifty, and, it seems, is infatuated with the lady, to whom he has never been introduced. M.rs. January became terrified at his attentions. She lives in a large mansion on Pine street, which the general essayed to storm. Speaking of the first attempt, Mrs. January said: “He forced his way in here twice. Once I had sent for a messenger, when he (the general) rang and was admitted under the impression that he was the messenger. He approached me and called me by name. He said his name was Gen. Gooding. I said: ‘I don’t know you, sir.’ He began to talk what I suppose he thought were compliments, and I said: ’You must excuse me. sir,’ and left him. The servants showed him out. “The second time he called I sent him down word that I was not at home to him, and the servants did not allow him to cc me in. They have instructions not to admit him or bring any word from him.” “This is all very distressing to me and my friends, who explain his conduct by saying that the man is crazy.” Gen. Gooding is at daggers’ points with some of his heretofore women friends, and charges them with conspiracy to injure him, and it is asserted by those who know him be>t that he has brooded over the affair until his mind is unsettled. Mrs. January belongs to one of the oldest families in St. Louis, and her wealth is in the millions. She is a widow. Gen. Gooding was an intimate friend of O. P. Morton, of Indiana, and once held a commission in the regular army. Two States Boycotted by Brewers. Chicago, December 21. —Considerable stir has been caused here by the fact leaking out that the Keely Brewing company had instructed its brokers to buy no barley grown in or shipped from the states oflowa or Kansas. The instructions to the brokers read as follows: “When purchasing barley tor our ac Count >ou must have a guarantee from the seller that the barley was not grown in either of the stales of Iowa or Kansas, or shipped from any town in either of those states.” John P. Taylor, secretary of the Keely company, is quoted to day as saying: “No, it is not an attempt to punish those states for their prohibition principles; but if they won’t buy our beer it is quite proper that we should not buy their barley, isn’t it?” Mr. Taylor said he issued the order because he thought the Minnesota and Wisconsin barley was better than the Iowa and Kansas barley, and “because,” he added,“there is no need of our buying from them if we can get as good or better somewhere else.” At other breweries it was said the matter, up to the present dme, concerned only the Keely company. Louis Houck, the millionaire malster, said the deliberations of the Brewers’ Assnciation were held in secret. If there were such a movement as intimated, he would join it heart and soul. The farmers of Iowa were hypocrites, pretending to believe in prohibition and raising barley for the manufacture of whisky and beer. HOLIDAY NOYELTIES U LEATHER GOODS.

Chicago, December 21.—The grand jury returned an indictment against the young man Ralph W. Lee, charged with an at empt to murder his stepfather, S. W. Rawson, president of Union Trust Co., several weeks ago, ju,st after the latter had come out of the Third Presbyterian church at the conclusion of the Sunday morning services.

The Blizzard in Kansas. Kansas City, Mo., December 21.— Specials to the Times from Western Kansas tell of terrible suffering in that section from the cold blizzard now raging. Four people ate reported dead from cold in Clark county, while near Dighton, Ks., a woman and her two childrea are known to have perished. There is great suffering in that portion of the state owing to the scarcity of coal. The supply.was exhausted during the pre vious cold snap in the first part of the month and the situation is now deplorable. The suffering is augmented by the fact that food is almost as scarce as fuel. Many of the inhabitants are settlers who located claims last summer and who are dependent on what the railroads bring in. The railroads are trying to do all in their power to relieve the distress, but they are handicapped by the scarcity of cars They have not enough to supply the urgent demand for food and fuel, and widespread distress threatens. The Santa Fe road has already announced it will ship frte all supplies which may be collected for Clark county. The Cold Wave at Chicago. Chicago, December 21. The rain, mud and slush, which on yesterday afternoon made life in Chicago a burden, gave place during ihe night to a cold wave from the northwest. Inside of twelve hours there was a drop of thirtyfive degrees in temperature. I he signal service reports the thermometer at 5 degrees above in the city in the morning hours, and at six o’clock it was 10 degrees above. At 10 o’clock the sun shone brightly, but had slight warming effect. The wind during the night reached a velocity of twentyfour miles an hour, but had dropped to six at 6 o’dolock this morning.

Paris, December 21.—The Duke of Norfolk, who went to Rome to convey to the pope the congratulations of Queen Victoria on his jubilee, has left that city, curtailing his visit to such an extent that the Gaulois asserts it was be ause of the absolute refusal of the pope to further interfere in the relations between the Irish clergy and people. Monsignor Rampalla, the papal secretary, the paper says, informed the duke that the pope had already used his influence with the clergy, but could not ask the priests to cease to be patriots without the risk of causing the rebellion of the Irish section of the clergy and loss of the hold of the churchupon the people. ExSecretary Manning Dying. Albany, December 21.—In regard to ExSecretary Manning’s health, a friend of the family says that Mr. Manning lies during the greater part of the time with his eyes closed, and apparently oblivious to his surroundings. When aroused he appears bewildered and requires some time to cohect himself. He takes food at the hands ofhis attendants at regular intervals. Aside from such oceusional spells of arousing, however, his condition is one of apathy or indifference. To sum it up despite the statements which his family make when approached for information, Mr. Maiming is a man sick unto death. Sheepmen’s Protest. Rochester, December 21.—The New York American Merino Sheepbreeders’ association, at their annual meeting in this city today, passed resolutions condemning the message of the president so far as it favored putting wool on the free list.

THE HILLSBORO FIREOUTLINE OF TESTIMONY TAKEN AT THE INQUEST. Clearly a Case of Mistaken Identity— Mr. Lcwine Released on $5,000 Bond—Other Details of Interest. Hillsboro, Texas, December 21.— [Special Telegram ]—The Missouri Pacific train, arriving here last evening, brought Mr. Joseph Lewine, of Waco, and B. J. French, of Hillsboro, arrested in Waco yesterday and charged with complicity in the burning of Lewine Bros.’store in Hillsboro, at 4 o’clock yesterday morning. Public feeling had run high daring the day'and especially after the fire inquest held early yesterday morning, but there were no manifestations of feeling. Shortl> after arrival here Mr. French was released on his personat recognizance, and Mr. Lewine gave bond in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance at a preliminary hearing, set for 11 o’clock this morning. The train that arrived from Waco at 5 o’clock this morning brought Mr. Harry Lewine and several gentlemen and ladies from Waco, who cameto testify for Mr Lewine. Mr. Joe Lewine waived preliminary this morning and gave bail in the sum of$5,000, to the’grand jury. The evidence was substantiated as follows at the fire inquest: There had been no fire in the building since 8 o’ciock Monday morning. The doors were locked as usual on Monday night. Threo witnesses located the origin of the fire in the same place. One swore to seeing Lewine go in the building and come out soon after, and to seeing a light in the building but did not know what it was. Another had known him about fifteen years; saw him set fire to the building and recognized him by the light that flashed up. This witness said he gave the alarm and ’got bacl^ in time to see him leave the building and cross the street, as stated by another witness. A'hird witnessswore to seeing Lewine on the south bound train after the fire started. All the witnesses swore positively as to the facts and identity, and were examined separately. From all the information obtainable, it seems the Lewine store contained a stock ot goods worth from $6,000 to $9,000, with insurance amounting to $8,500. NOT ARRIVED YET. The above dispatch was received by The Day this afternoon from Hillsboro. The Missouri Pacific southbound train, which should have reached VVaco at 1:15 o’clock today noon, is six hours late and will not be in until seven o’clock, so Mr. Lewine and the other parties who went from Waco to Hillsboio this morning cannot arrive here until that hour. The Day learns incidents lly that the stock of goods in Lewine Bros, store at Hillsboro did not exceed $6,000 to $8 000 in value. Under the threefourths insurance system that prevails in Hillsboro only threefourths of the total amount cou'd be collected from the insurance companies in case of total loss, which would not meet the losses'or fortify the theory that the house was fired to get the insurance money. The Day further learns that Mr. Lewine will be able to adduce abundant proof that he was in Waco all of Monday night, so that his connection with the fire could have only been of an accessory nature. His friends here, and they comprise the greater portion of the business community, continue to believe him utterly itinocent of any complicity in or knowledge of the fire, and argue that public feeling in Hillsboro was so excited that people jumped at conclusions and acted hastily and unjustly in causing Mr. Lewine’s arrest. New goods arriving by the car load. 50 varieties of canned fruits and vegetables. Preserves, jellies and jams in glass, wood and tin. Atmore's Mince Meat in 5 and 18 lb. pails. New mackerel in 5 lb tins. Fresh Imported Olive Oil and Olives. The largest stock of fine groceries ever off red in the state. Purchasing by the car load from first hands for cash and on short time enables us to offer superior inducements to parties wishing to purchase in quantity. Marshall & Heard
