NEWS OBSERVATIONS.
The two Senators from Dakota have
made their appearance in the Senate but
they will have to be content to sit on the
sofas for a while yet.
M. Grevy says that he thinks he
shall live out his new presidential term
of seven years, and that he has no doubt
the sunshine of tranquility will over
spread France in 1893 as now.
In view of the legislative reunion
now in progress at Augusta, Me., the
Journal says that "citizens will do well
to see that all their doors are fastened,
etc., and lookout for any valuables they
may hare upon their person."
An extraordinary accident occured
atYoukers last week. A young gentle
man, just in fun, pointed and snapped
an unloaded revolver at his fiance, and
the weapon did not go off. This is the
first time this has occured since the
war. - ;

Thursday night, in the metropolis
of the country, a public ball, superbly
furnished, was given a popular variety
actor, the recipient stanuiug beside ol
statue of himself composed of rosebuds
and another outlined in gas jets, ami
welcoming for two hours the ladies and
gentlemen of fashionable society. This
would seem to . be the very climax ot
vulgarity: and puffery, but it is doubt
ful if there are any bounds to the. re
sources of theatrical advertising.
Mr. . Labouchere, the licensed 1am-
podher . of old London town, seems to
have a spite agains the Queen's youngest 1
daughter. Says he in the Truth that is
just at hand : "Princess Beatrice has
much to learn before she can hope to
succeed, either, at public functions or in
society. She never appears at ease on
such occasions, and she certainly has
not acquired the art of making her
neighbors comfortable, nor has she the
family accomplishment of 'saying the
right thing in the right wayA as Lord
lieaconsheld expressed it.
If M. de Freycinet and his new French
cabinet van only persuade the heathen
Annamites that it is wrong to kill Chris-
tians at the rate telegraphed from Paris
that will be better than trying to annex
the country by means of French military
forces that are unequal to the under
taking. Ab long as Christian nations
try to coiivert the heathens by wholesale
slaughtjers the heathens will be aptto
turn around and do likewise whenever
they get a chance, and no right-minded
man can condemn them for this kind of
revenge, though the slaughters on both
sides must be deplored.
M, de Freycinet, the new premier j
of France, has succeeded in making a
ministry which has been officially an
nounoed. I The two important . places in
it, next to his Own as minister of foreign
affairs, are those of the minister of. fa-
nance and the minister of marine and
the colonies. The former is. held by M.
Sadi-Carnot, "a maa ul acknowledged
ability, ut wholly unlikely to cope
boldly with the ciUm-mouh. difficulties in
which 'extravaganotf liua involved the
French: treasury The latter is held by
2d. Aube, a devoted follower of- de
FreyeihetL The ocuutry has very little
to hope from the new ministry in the
dilemma -in which it is entangled by
the Tonquin trouble, but for that mat
ter the; country 'did not express its views
plainly enough at the late elections to
mike a ministry that can carry them out
possibly.; The new one will "simply
worry along until a working majority of
some sort can be united in the cham
bers, or there has been a new election
to clear the situation. ' ,

A Blinding- Snow Atorta tb Ckbm f th
Terrible Occurrence.
Wilmington, Del., January 9. J-ast
night's snow-storm caused the mostseri
ous blockade of railroad tracks here that -
has occurred for years, suspending travel
for hours. At 4.45 this morning: the
Wilmington & Northern train, which
leaves for Reading, Pa., at 5 o'clock, w;is
backing into the station. It consisted
of the engine, baggage and mail car; and
passenger car. On account of the heavy
snow drifts tho train waj niloind hv n. !
shifting engine which was attached to
the rear passenger car. Between Ship
ley and Market streets the train's pro
gress was blocked by several freight
cars which had been thrown from the
tracks by the drifts of snow. The train
ran back to near the gas house and there
crossed to the south-bound track, when
it again started for the station. Mean
while two other shifting engines had
been sent out from the station,
with snow-sweepers, to clear the
south-bound track. Both engines
were running rapidly, and the Wilming
ton & Northern train was also under a
good head of steam. Opposite the Har
lan & Hollingsworth Co.'s tracks the
engines and train came together with a
terrific crash, sweeping the pilot engine
of the train into the baggage car, tele
scoping the car for one-third its length.
The rear end of the car was torn into
fragments, the cab of the engine was
broken to pieces, the boiler was frao
;ured and the machinery twisted into
all shapes. On account of the blinding
snow the engineers of the approach
ing i trains were not aware of the
danger until the collision occurred.
Three men were killed outright and an
other is expected to die. Immediately
after the collision the passenger car took
fire from the engine furnace and escap
ing steam added to the torture of '; the
victims imprisoned under the broken
timbers. Ihe fire department hurried
to the scene and began playing on the
burning timbers, while others exerted
themselves to get out the dead and
wounded. - It was nearly 9 o'clock
when the last body was gotten out, hor
ribly crushed, mangled, scalded and
burned.
ATtrribli Uncertainty. j
Boston, Mass., Jan. 9. The tug Con
fidence left this port at 6 o'clock last
night, having in tow a lighter on which
were forty men. On the tug in addition
to her regular crew of five men were a
corps of divers. The tug and lighter
were bound for Wood's Uoll, to the re
lief of the wrecked bark "Ibis." The
lighter was fastened to the by a small
hawser. Nothing has been heard from
tug, lighter or men since leaving here,
and fears are felt for their safety, as it
is not believed that the tug could have
carried the lighter through the terrible
gale of last night. All wires are down
on the cape and no intelligence can be
obtained by telegraph.

Omaua, Neb , J&nuary 9-' No winter
storm has been so general throughout
the State as that at present prevailing,
The thermometer today indicated 23
below zero in the business por
tiop of the city, while on the
high plateau the mercury went
to 30. This, with a bitter north wind,
I makes the temperature as fcoid as any
remembered by the oldest citisens. No
trains have run in the Sute since early
yesterday and no efforts haebeen made
to clear the tracks, because of the im
possibility of the men woking in the
extreme cold and of the fact : that the
drifting snow would fill up; any cuts
made. Two trains etartea ; on the
Union Pacific main line yesterday,
but had to be pulled back
after reaching the suburbs of toe city. All
tho Union Pacific branches have been
abandoned. The exact co idition of the
main line further west cannot be ascer
tained, as the telegraph wires are all
down. The Burlington Missouri,
Chicago, St. Paul, Mtf'o "ttpolis, and
Omaha, Faremont, Elklru and Mis
souri valley, in fact every line of track
in the State is abandoned. No trains
left for the East today and no traffic has
taken place on the Missouri river bridge:
Business is practically at a staad-still,
only an occasional farmer appearing in
the city. One year ago today thu thermom
eter was 40? above zero, being the highest
point reached ; that winter. No mails
arrived today, not even from Council
Bluffs, on account of no cars crossing
the bridge.

San Fkancisco, January 9. Private
advices from Yokohama say that a Solemn
high mass was celebrated in the Catholic
cathedral in Yokohama7 for the repose
of the soul of King Alfonso. All the
dignitaries, of state and the imperial
household were present. The ceremony
was remarkable from the fact that it was
the first one attended by high, Japanese
officials since the time of St. Francis
Xavier, 300 yearsago.
Small-pox has made its appearance in
Yokohama. Cholera has entirely dis
appeared. Tb CaV-ln at BoiUn Run
Shxnakooaii, Pa., Jan. 9. The ex

block of miners' houses was swallowed
by a mine breach yesterday, was renew
ed this afternoon when another large
area of surface, upon which are located
eight blocks of houses, began to settle.
The people fled from the housed in ter
ror, leaving all their effects behind. The
ground has settled about four feet and
the houses, twisted out of all shape,
are expected to go down at any moment.
About 24 families have been driven out
of their homes by the cave-in.

Nortork, Va., Jan. 9. The gale
which began in this section yesterday
afternoon, and which is still prevailing,
is the severest for a longtime. Snow
has not fallen, but j shipping is de
tained and there is much damage on
land and water.1 While no serious lk
agters have yet been reported, awning,
signs, fences and trees were blown d- wa
and great apprehension was felt bctwoeu 4

Galvkston, Tex., Jan. 9. The cold
wave extends over a vast area and will
result in immense damage to stock of all
kinds. Telegraphic communication is
still greatly impeded, From Austin it
was reported that the temperature was
10 above zero yesterday and hundreds
of water pipes were frozen. At Laredo,
on the Rio Grande, the temperature was
8 below the freezing point. At Pales
tine the mercury touched zero. It is
the coldest weather experienced in forty
years. The water-works and street
plugs are all frozen and cracked. At
Orange, on the Louisiana line, the ther
mometer was 12 above zero and at
Corpus .Christi the mercury fell 64 in
twenty-four hours. The oldest inhabi
tants say they never witnessed such a
blizzard. Many of these points report
that the cattle are suffering intensely
from the cold. Herds drifted aimlessly
about for hours, seeking shelter, and
many of them must have perished, but
it is yet too early to ebtimate the extent
of the loss.
Galveston. Texas, Jan. 9. A con
tinuous northwest wind has driven the
water out through the channel, expos
ing the oyster beds and shells on the
banks for miles along Galveston bay.
Small lakes down the island are frozen
from three to five inches, which is some
thing unprecedented in this vicinity.
An oysterman named Jefferson attem
ed to cross the bay last night, in spite
of the biting northerly wind, and was
found lying on the deck of his sloop this
morning, frozen to death. A negro boy
was found below dpek frozen fast to the
wet bottom of the boat. He was alive,
but stuck fast.. The rescuers jerked
the boy loose with a plank. He was
thawed out and survived.
Nxw Orleans, January 9. The sig
nal service office last night reported the
mercury degrees above zero, being

Sawyers vs. Sawyers. A
1. Under the Code system an execu
tion which is issued after the death of
the judgment debtor, although it bears
teste before his death, confers no author
ity on the sheriff to sell, and a sale
thereunder is void; but before the Code
of civil procedure was adopted a sale
under such an execution : would have
been valid. . i :
2. Liens on real property are now
governed by the docketing of the judg-
uieui, ana not Dy me issuing ot process
to enforce it.
3. When an execution is issued on an
undocketed judgment, or one which has
lost its lien on real estate j by the lapse
of time, it is a lien on both real and per
sonal property from its levy".
4. Where a judgment debtor dies, the
creditor cannot enforce the iudement
by execution, but must collect his debt
in the regular course of the administra
tion of the estate.
5. The provision in the
Code of civil
procedure ; furnishing a remedy for en-
orcing the lien in case the administra
tor unreasonably delays t settling the
estate, has not been brought forward in
The Code.

1. "The Code gives to the superior
courts the most ample power to allow
amendments, and where an affidavit upon
hich a warrant of attachment was is
sued was defective, it may be amended.
I. A discontinuance results from the
voluntary act of the plaintiff in not reg
ularly issuing the successive connecting
processes necessary.
o. V here a summons which is to be
personally served is ordered to be is
sued by the court, it is not the duty of
the clerk to issue it until it is demanded
by the plaintiff; but when service is or
dered to be made by publication, after
me expenses are paia oy tne piamuu, it
is the duty of the clerk to obey the
order, and make the publication.
4. So, where an order of publication
was made, but by an oversight in the
clerk it was not done, and the defendant
moved to dismiss the action on the
ground that there was a discontinuance:
It was held, that the judge had the
power to allow the publication to be
made, returnable to a future term of the
court.
Mode vs. Penland.
1 Partners are individually; respon
sible for the negligence of the .servants
and agents of the partnership, and when
one of the partners does an act in the
course of the partnership business he is
considered in this respect as the agent
the partnership, and the other part
ners are liable, even if they did not as
sent to the act.
2. All torts are joint and several,
and where one partner commits a tort in
the prosecution of the partnership busi
ness, the injured party may, at his elec
tion, sue all the partners,; or any one or
more of them.
3. Evidence should never be rejected
on the ground of variance, unless it has
misled the adverse party in making his
defence, oo, where the complaint al
leged that the plaintiff had been injured
by the negligence of the defendant's
agent, and the evidence was that it was
by the negligence of his partner, the
variance was immaterial.);

have to thank Allcock's Porous Plasters
for saving the life of my wife ; she was
attacked with pneumonia, which com
menced with a violent chill, great cough
ing and high fever. 1 could not get a
1 doctor, but fortunately had a box of All-
cock, s Porous Plasters , in .the house ; I
placed one between her ! breasts, one on
each shoulder-blade, and one on the
small of her back, In two hours her
cough almost ceased and was very loose
in four hours she broke into a profuse
perspiration The next day, though
very week, she was free from fever, and
the third day was quite well. I also
cured my child of diphtheritic sore
throat by wrapping tho neck in an All

Tne Sow Building a. St. Mary's.
Wednesday last many friends and
patrons of St. Mary's met, on the anni
versary of the fire, to witness the open
ing of the! hew art building. A beauti
ful choral Service was held at noon in.
the chapel, after which the pupils passed
in procession to tbe new building. There
thev separated to ritrht and left while
.rf 1 o
Bishop Lyman and Rev. Mr. Smedes, in
their robes, pussed betweenrthem into the
calisthenic hall. Here the Bishop made
a short address, and with a beautiful
prayer dedicated the building to the
purposes of education. The guests then
visited, the various rooms and lingered
long in the studio. Except that the
present building is of brick, with large
ventilatinifflues, and heated by steam,
there is no difference between it and. the
former one, finished and occupied during
the exposition of 1884, and examined
by mapy visitors to the city as well as
by residents of Raleigh. It may not be
needless, however, to give a brief de
scription of it. The building is of
Gothic design, its dimensions being:
sixty-six feet by forty-fiye.; It contaius
study and recitation rooms for the pri
mary and preparatory departments,
cloak-rooms, a large gymnasium, a la
boratory for "physics, and the studio. .
This last, a noble gallery sixty-f iur feet
long by twenty-six wide, is lighted by
four sky-lights; the open .ceiling is n
ished in oild woods, and the whole
forms the most beautiful studio for
school purposes in the South. St.
Mary's and the State are certainly to be
congratulated upon the possession of a
structure so artistic in its plan and so
complete in all its appointments.
