On the gsZe "ening flLdolpfc .street m the same city, did damage to the amount of 840 000. Anotner fire destroyed prop erty to the amount of lo,ow. Chicago reports extraordinary cold weather at nearly all points in the West. In that city it paralyzed business to some extent, outdoor traffic being almost im possible. To add to the trouble several fires occurred Friday night, which the firemen found it difficult to fight on ac count of the intense cold. jRfllroa travel has been much impeded, and trains loaded with cattle are blocked in by snow, many of the cattle freezing to death. r . Chairman Cobb, of the House commit tee on public lands, yesterday appointed his sub-committees. om Julius Meyer, of Whiteker's Station, In this State, has failed for $18,000. Newman & Co. and A.

LOCAL. At a meeting in the court house yes terday the old Carolina Fair Association was reorganized. On account of the absence of a wit ness for the State, the habeas corpus case was continued to next Wednesday. A colored man named Alex. Beatty had his hand destroyed at the oil mill yesterday. . . Mr. John I. Wilson, a prominent citi zen of the county, has been restored to sanity. The city gives its side of the water works imbroglio. A reporter visited the recruiting office yesterday during business hours, and saw a candidate put through the exercises. During the snow storm yesterday we tneruury dropped twenty Th awardV meeting will be held at the Methodist parsonage to-morrow night. A young man from Montgomery coun ty was robbed of $180. in hnora was earned away Portions of the foremast began to work loose by the heavy laboring of the ship and the canvas had to be h th mflfit at the aecK to prevent- the water from get ting below. "Owing to the disabled condition of the crew little canvas could be put on. but the ,-, pumps were kept going by tho captain, boatswain and cook, and the water below was considerably reduced. About 7 p. m. at which time the W. L J. was on brown bank of Cape Sanbel. IN. H., the captain observea several us mug schooners lying about, signals were burned to atiract attention and pro cure assistance, but no response was made. Afterwards a heavy snow storm set in on the morning of the 9th nnrl a stiff erale from the west and southwest was prevailing. Thick snow and sleet fell during the day, and in the evening the storm increas ed to a fearful hurricane. At last to attempt to calm the sea three can vas bags were filled with oil and thrown overside to the windward. The oil oozing through the canvas had the desired effect and the water ahnut the vessel soon became consid erably smoother. The huge waves could be seen rising and roaring a short distance to the windward, but before they reached the bark their force wa broken by the floating oil. The fishing schooner uresa was buuu afterwards sighted and six men were transferred to the W. L.

The Czar's followers immediately unharn essed their sledge borses, mounted the animals and followed the would-be-assassins who escaped in the neighboring wood. Owing to the depth of the snow the pursuit was fruitless. One of the pursuing offi cers ventured too far and has not re turned. The telegraph referring to the fore going says whether this story is true or untrue, the revival of Nihilism is undoubted. , The Nihilist Executive Committee promised to give the present Czar a fair trial. No constitution and no reforms have been grantea, aunougn he promised them. His trial is there fore at an end. Denver and Bio Qrande.......'...

'"That is one of the reasons why so many of the physicians sliaketheir heads when you ask them if Brown's Iron Bitters will be good for you. : It is natural that there should be some prejudice on the p of the physicians against a medicine which they have not made, even though they cannot help seeing the good work it does. But people who want to get well may wisely disregard this prejudice, and when they are able to see for themselves that Brown's Iron Bitters is doing in the way of restor ing persons suffering with dyspepsia, indigestion, weakness, and malaria to complete health. It is safe to try Brown's Iron Bitters, and let the physicians take their chance. Yet there are many physicians who have overcome their prejudices, and who have found Brown's Iron Bitters so valuable that they ireeiy prescriDe n. ror instance, i;r. in. s. Kuggles, of Marion, Mass. He says he values it highly for enriching the blood and removing dyspeptic symptoms. He is also glad to say that it does not hurt the teeth. This is a very important consideration, for it is well known that all other medicines containing iron take the enamel off, and make the teeth as worthless as if made of chalk. Dr. Newbill, of Carter's Creek, Va.. has used Brown's Iron Bitters extensively in his practice. . He says it is ane of the best tonics and appetizers he has ever prescribed. Doctor ZeZ' "r;rV 25 Daughtrey, of Franklin, Va., says that he is highly pleased with it, and Quicksilver, preferred 25 q tQ preparation3 0iron. These statements of well-known antl reliable physicians are of great value in confirming the high opinion which the people form of Brown's Iron Bitters as an efficient remedy v " h can be depended on when relief is needed, prudent people keep Bwwn's Iron Bitters in the house.

Henry Villa rd, who loomed up bril liantly among the successful railroad magnates of this country, and whose success was phenomenal, has gone down even more suddenly than he went up. But a short while ago he was rated to be worth millions, and it was estimated that the time was not far distant when he would not be behind Gould and Vanderbilt in his millions. He is yet a young man, but a few years ago was a reporter, on a Chicago paper, and afterwards a Washington correspondent. He tired of this, however, was taken hold of by railroad men, who saw there was something in him, went into Wall street, and became interested in the Northern Pacific railroad, which was locked up and at a stand still. By shrewd manipulation he worked it up, got its stock on the market, was elected its president, effected neces sary loans, continued the work left Undone, and last summer laid the last rail which connected the eastern and western ends of the road, eiving a through route from Lake Superior to the Columbia river, the road with its branches being something over three thousand miles long. It was a bril liant achievemant, and ViHard was the big man in it. He celebrated the driving of the last spike by a grand excursion of distinguished Ameri cans, and a large number of capital- lsts and - titled individuals . from Europe, whose expenses were paid and who were entertained in grand style. But shortly after that it was discovered that the company wanted money, that it was about $15,000,000 behind, a fact which Yillard had not taken the trouble to make known while he was booming its stock. The Stock began to decline in Wall street, and as it went down so did Yillard, whose particular methods did not ' seem to Strike the stockholders favor- ' ably when the actual state of affairs became knotrn, ajid the consequence t ui Sijsresignation-was requested, , tetidtrea Ana last 'inursaayacceptea Chicago, Jan. 5. The thermometer at 5 o'clock this morning fell to 29 degrees below zero, which, taken with the cold record of yesterday, makes it the severest showing in the way of extreme weather known here in many years. At 8 o'clock the thermometer was still 24 degress be low, and at the same hour Kansas City Neb.. reported 34 degrees below; St. Paul, Minn., 20; Omaha, Neb., 34; Dubuque, Iowa, 32; Des Moines, Tdwa.. 24: Keokuk! Iowa., 25 below. The effect in this city has been to partially paralyz? the ordinary course of business. A number of the larger wholesale houses have not sent out their heavy trucks, and those teams and the street car drivers and conductors, who are out brauing the weather, are Buttering greauy. rire alarms "have been more numerous than usual, and last night proved to be one of terror to the members of the fire department. Thr e fires after midnight kept practically the whole force on duty, and services required of them under the circum stances were such as to tax their endurance to the fullest extent. In addition to the burning of several buildings in the Eandel street fire the private stables of Marshall Field, on Pace Avenue, were burned. At 4 o'clock this morning fire was discovered in Berviage flat, on Mich igan Avenue, one of the most impos ing residence structures in the Sonth Division of the city, and the flames spread with rapidity, which caused a number of families to seek the street in their night clothes. Owing to the trouble experienced in the working of the engines on account of the intense "coin,, tne Duucing was burned and flooded inside. No lives were lost. The escaping occupants took refuge id a structure adjoining the burning building. The severe .weather caused a great many needy people and professional tramps to be sent to the police stations. Several trains loaded with live stock are still snow bound ten or twelve miles from stock yards. Some cattle were froz en to death and the others were par tially frozen and had to be killed. Hogs sufferedjess than cattle. Cars laden with corn were on some of the trains with the stock, and the grain is being used for feed. The suffering for water is great. Men sent to dig out the train were offered fifty cents an hour, but were obliged to return to the city nearly frozen. St. Louis, Mo. The mercury fell to 23 degrees below Izero this morn ing, but since has been rising, and at noon was 27 degrees below. This is the coldest day here since Jan. 11, 1864, when the the thermometer fell 26 degrees below, the lowest on rec ord at this ponit. Very heavy ice is still running through the harbor. Chattanooga, Tenn. The temper ature fell to two degrees above zero this morning. It is the coldest weath er since 1877. In Your Blood Pare? Now this is an important question, for without pure and wholesome blood there can be no perfect health, and without good health life is a mere bur den and a waste. For impure blood the best medicine known is Kosadalia. It is the great Southern time tried and true remedy, and may be implicitly re lied on when everytning eise iaus x it in the spring time especially, for the impure secretions of the blood incident to that season of the year; and take it at all times for cancer, scrofula, liver complaints, weakness, boils, tumors, swellings, skin diseases, malaria, and the thousand ills that come from impure blood. " Talking about the liver, we presume that ill temper is more often caused by a disordered liver than anything else. To insure a cheerful disposition ake Eosadalis, the Great Southern Remedy, which will remove the prime cause, and restore the mind to its natural equilib rium. B1ABKETH Bf TELEGBAPH. JANUARY 5, 1884.
