COLORADO SNOW.
A Town and Seventeen People Buried
Other Towns Cnt off and People
Suffering; Snow Eight Feet on the
Dead Level.
Denver, March' 1& Monday night
a snow elide descended upon the little
snow bound station of Woodstock,
on a branch of the South Park Rail
road, 75 miles Southwest of Lead ville,
carrying away every building in the
town including the railroad station?
The news was brought to Pepkin, 9
miles distant, by a station hand on
snow shoes, arriving yesterday after
noon. Seventeen persons are known
to have been caught in the avalanche,
including Mrs. Doyle, a widow, who
kept the station, and her six chil
dren, and another woman name un
known and ten section men. Two
women were rescued alive, but -seriously
injured. The body -of one sec
tion hand was recovered. None of
the others can escape alive.
VAs goon as the news reached Pep-klft-the
fire bells sounded and a large
number of citizens started on snow
shoes for the scene of the disaster.
The snow fall in the mountain dis
trict of Colorado the present winter
is without parallel in the history of
the State. Many mining camps
West and South have been snow
bound since November. The San
Joan country is the greatest sufferer.
Durango, Silverton and Rice, con
taining from one to five thousand in
habitants, are still blockaded, no
trains having reached either town in
several weeks. Breckenridge, 50
miles North of Lead ville, is nearly
destitute. Montezuma, 10 miles dis
tant, is in a pitiable condition.
Gunnison, situated a few miles
from the largest coal mines in the
State, is suffering from a coal famine.
The snow is eight feet on a level over
the whole country, and in ravines
- and gulches from 50 to 100 feet. The
only means of communication is on
snow shoes, and few men are hardy
enough to brave the bitter storms.
When the spring thaws move these
mountains : of snow fearful results
must follow.

A TEXAS TRAGEDY.
A Scene lo a Tcxhs Theatre Not Down
oh the Bills.
San Antowio, Tex., March 12.
Ben Thompson and King Fi6her shot
each other dead in the Vaudeville
theatre last night. Joe Foster, who
attempted to interfere with the com
batants, was shot in the leg and will
probably die of hemorrhage. Thomp
son and Fisher had been drinking
together and entered the theatre in
company. They met Foster in the
dress circle and some words were
exchanged. The dress circle was
quickly cleared ; the occupants jump
ing into the parquette below, and
through the side windows into the
street. No one eeems to know
who fired the first shot or how
many were wounded in the shooting.
Before the theatre was fairly cleared
of its occupants, 1,500 persons on the
outside were clamoring at the closed
doors for admittance. Shortly after
the shooting Thompson's brother put
in an appearance, but was promptly
arrested. A jury was hastily em
paneled, and it was ascertained that
Thompson had received four mortal
wounds, and that Fisher had been
wounded three times, two of which
would have caused instant death.
The remains of the victims were
taken in charge by a host of friends,
and the obsequies have been ordered
on the grandest scale, regardless of
expense.
The theatre where the affray oc
curred was the scene last year of the
killing by Thompson, of Jack Harris,
who was proprietor of the place.
Fisher and Thompson were probably
the two most desperate and widely
known men in Texas. They have
each killed a large number of men.

The Old Shell Which the Gorerament
Purchased.
New Ycbk, March 12. The Brook
lyn Union says : Commodore Upshur
settled the bill for the steamer Bear
yesterday. Payment was made
through the Seleigman Bros. The
government paid $101,J&00 for the ves
sel, and the price is considered large
by those who are judges of such mas
ters. One of the constructors at the
Navy Yard said to-day that the price
was an outrageous one, and the gov
ernment had been outrageously
swindled. The boat, he said, is an
old shell, and we will be obliged to
completely rebuild her. The Bear
was purchased by the government
from Walton Grierve, of Greenock,
Scotland.

There was a mad dog excitement
in South Fork to wnshiptfhis county,
one day last week. Mr John Burke
and one of his grandchildren were
bitten by the rabid beast, also a num
ber of chickens, geese and dogs. Mr.
Burke with his grandchild went to
where a mad stone is kept, but it is
said it had no effect when applied to
the wounds, which are very slight,
in fact the skin was not broken on
Mr. Burke. The dog showed all the
symptoms of being mad, and a num
ber of other persons, into whose
houses it ran, made narrow escapes
from being bitten by it. A worthless
fice dog, not worth the powder and
lead it took to kill it, caused all the
above trouble. One good thing now
ev "sr. is derived from the excitement.
there was a general mafs .cring of
dogs in that neighborhood.
Mr. Neal Peddicord, of Winston,
was examining a horse supposed to
have the distemper, when it bit one
of his fingers pretty badly. The
horse a short while afterwards had a
fit and died. Mr. P ddicord felt un
easy about the matter and went to
the mad stone, which on being piacea
on the wounded finger stuck. It is
said that the horse had been bitten
by a dog some weeks since.

snais:
Department of Justice,
Washington, D. C,
March 12. 1884
To District Attorneys and Marshals
of the united States:
By direction of the President I have
to inform you that it is reported that
certain persons are aiding in the
prosecution of heinous crimes bv
shipping to foreign ports explosives
dangerous in the highest degree to
ine ana property, xso proof has been
adduced that this rumor is founded
upon fact, and the President cannot
believe its truth. The honor of this
nation, however, requires that
should not be open to the imnutation
unfounded though it be, of the slight
est appearance of tolerating such
crimes, whether to be committed
against our people or those of other
countries. Your attention is there
fore called to Sections 5,353, 5,354, 5,
355, 4,278 and 4,279, of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, which
regulate the shipment of explosives,
and the punishment of those who in
fringe their provisions, -and you are
instructea to oe auigent in your et
ions to prevent tne onencesdesenbed
and to detect and prosecute those
wno havo, or may commit them.
Very Respectfully,
Benj. Harris Briwster,

The Totoe of an intelligent people declares, that
SOZODONTla an article of genuine merit, and
their patronage confirms what their voice pro
claims. There Is no gainsaying this pronuncla
mento. Facts attested by the evidence of number
less respectable citizens prove that it Is correct. No

asKuredly none exerts such a benlncent Influence
upon them, rendering, as It does, their structure
more solid, and exterminating the seeds of Its de

NEW YORK.
Speculation at the Stock Exchange was active and
stronger to-day. A more confident tone character
ized the dealings owing to weakness In the Sterling
Exchange and the decline In rates for money In
London, which operates against the further ex
ports of gold. The weakness in foreign exchange
is due to the appearance of bills against securities
to be shipped by Saturday's steamer. ThePavonla.
which sailed for Europe to day, took only $150,000
In gold bars. New York Central was the special
card and rose 314 per cent A number of old short
contracts, some of two and three year's standing,
went out ta-day. This stoek scored and command
ed VfeStx per cent for use on account of the closing
of its books. The strengthening of New York
Central affected the general market favorably and
an advance 0' VctV,b per cent took place. Lacka
