Blizzards and Snow From Canada to

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.

Ralph Lee Indicted.
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. Action on ihe
case has been delayed on account“of the
condition of the stepfather, as in case of
the latter’s death the indictment would
have been for murder instead an attempt
to commit murder.
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. Fort
Totten, Dakota, reported the temperature
at 20 below.
Transcontinental Rates Advanced.
San Francisco. December 21.—The
Southern Pacific Railroad company will
today in compliance with t'le interstate
commerce law, give notice ot an advance
in firstclass rates to points beyond the
Missouri river, and St. Louis, Memphis,
New Orleans and Cairo. Limited first
class tickets througEOgden or Albuquerque
to those points have been
supplanted by unlimited firstclass
tickets, and the old emigrant
thirdclass rate now corresponds with
the new secondclass. Firstclass rates
to Chicago will now be $72.50; to St.
Louis, $67.50; to N aw York $91.00; to
Boston,$92. The southern points affected
are Memphis, $87.50; Mobile, $87 65; Atlanta,
$86.25; New Orleans, $88.65; Richmond,
$94 40 and Vicksburg, $67.50.
Duke and Pope.
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.
Snow Storm in Illinois.
' Springfield, 111., December 21.—
Shortly after noon yesterday the temperature
fell thirtytwo degrees, and is now
at zero. A heavy wind and snow storm
followed the falling temperature, and the
ground is covered with several inches of
snow.
A Failure.
Pittsburg, December 21.—E. L.
Pacher, a prominent lumber dealer, who
failed this morning, confessed judgments
aggregating $40,000. Total liabilities,
$100,000.
The Wea'her Bulletin.
Washington, December 21.—For
Texas, threatening weather with ram,
partly as snow, over the interior, fresh to
brisk northerly winds.
Blessed are the good shoemakers, etc.

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.
