De grees Above Zero at 3 A. M. To-day. ALL TRAINS BLOCKADED. Merry Tobogganers Many Improvised Sleighs Much Suffering Among the Poor Pood and Fuel Dlstrib oted interesting Notes. Certainly not since the establish ment of the U. S. Weather Bureau station here, and scarcely in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, has Wilmington experienced so extreme a cold -wave as the present one. Yes terday the mercury played between 10 and 12 degrees above zero and towards night dropped to 9 degrees, with every indication of falling still more before morning. - i" X The lowest temperature recorded for February during anyprevious year is 10 degrees. This was on February 5th, 1886. i The next coldest wave for Feb ruary was in 1895, when the mercury dropped to 10.2. The lowest tempera ture for Wilmington during any pre vious year since the establishment of the weather station here is 9 degrees above zero. This was on January 6th, 1884. Sleighs and Toboggans Oat. -; Snow ceased to fall about one o'clock yesterday, having continued at inter vals since Saturday forenoon. There was considerable sleigh-riding Satur day afternoon but by far the largest number were on Sunday afternoon when the merry jingle of sleigh bells was heard in well nigh every portion of the cUy, They were almost all im provised sleighs buggies and double seated vehicles, minus wheels, mounted on snow runners. They were also out yesterday in large numbers. All yes - -terday, wherever, there was a good steep trade there were Isled and to boggan riders galora. . So that alto gether the severe weather conditions have not been without an abundance of fun and merriment on the part of those who were so fortunately situated as to not feel the pinch of poverty. Among the most popular resorts for those seeking fun with their sleds was what is popularly known as "Catholic Hill," Dock street, between Second and Third, where a long and delightful slide" was available. Red Cross, be tween Front and Water, and Grace, between Front and Water, were also visited by quite a number of young people with sleds. Ereh settled busi ness and professional men and elderly ladies, long since settled in the rout ine of household duties,! fell victims to the craze for "toboggan; riding." And there is every indication that weather conditions favorable to these features of sport will continue for several days to come. ' . Quite a number of young men went out to what is known as "Musquito Pond" Sunday afternoon in search of ice sufficiently strong to admit of skating. Many of the most venture some risked themselves upon the crust which they found there' and all went merry as could be for a little while, when one 'of their number broke through and went waist deep into the ice -cold water. Suffering Amongst the Poor. The reverse picture of the effects of weather conditions here amongst the poor people is sad indeed. On every hand where the poor ' element of peple reside the suffering has been in tense." However.'only one death from the effects of the cold has thus far been reported. Reference is made to that case in another column. All day yesterday Mayor fWaddell had the city carts going as fast as could be, carrying food, fuel and cloth ing, where needed, to the suffering poor. Many of the benevolently dis posed people of the city instructed the Mayor to draw upon them for credit able sums of money to be used in pro viding food and fuel for the poor, and it was on the strength of these contributions and his personal ac count that Mayor Waddell procured the food, fuel, etc., which he dispensed to the poor yesterday. The Associated Charities also did all in their power to aleviate suffering. - - Mayor Waddell requests all physi cians and others to report to him this morning any cases of destitution which may have come to their notice, so thai assistance may be given as early as possible. ". ? tt ' Business Almost Saspended. With the exception of the sale of rubbers, gloves and other articles of iwpnrino- annarel for nrotection from the cold, there was scarcely any trade inlmercantile teircles yesterday.' Many employers allowed their clerks and others to go out and i join the merry throng who revelled in the snow. The wood and coal dealers; were taxed to their utmost capacity to supply the demands for fuel, m fact it was impos sible for them to fill orders. The con stant attention of a clerk was re quired to answer j i the , telephone calls for wood and coal. A number of coal cart drivers failed to report for duty, and the- proprietors and man-; agers were seen in many cases mounted on a cart delivering coaL In a num ber of instances where family, hap pened to have a good supply of wood or coal they were S besieged with requests that they were forced to di vide with their neighbors, selling the fuel outright -" ' ' V C!.' .-AH Trains Blocked by Snow. Yesterday therO. was only one train which went' out from Wilmington. That was the .6.45 AT . M. .train baund for Wilson and there were only three . or four passengers on ii . It reqmred,Jwo engines to push even this tram. There was no train from either Columbia or Newberh yesterday. The train due here at 5 50 P. M. yesterday from Goldsboro came in about 10.45 with probably a half dozen passengers, who reported heavy snows and severe cold weather all the way up the road. There were, neither 1 out-going or in-coming trains on the Seaboard Air Line ior C F. & YrV. roads, and the main line of the South ern road had only one train all day yesterday. ' ' : - Notes of Interest ' - t The present snow fall is registered by the weather station at 4 inches. The heaviest snow previously recorded is 12 inches on February 17th and 18th, 1896. At 3 o'clock this morning the mer- cury registered 5 degrees above zero. PUBLIC SCHOOLS DISMISSED. The Weather Too Severe for the Pupils. Daily Sessions Will be Resumed To-morrow. r The Wilmington Public Schools, both white and colored, are closed on account of the severe weather. In an other column of this issue Superin tendent J. J. Blair gives notice that teachers and pupils are not to report for duty until to-morrow (Wednesday) morning. . - j- ; . - ' Yesterday all the teachers, with very few exceptions, were at their re spective .school rooms at the usual hour for opening the day's session. but. very few pupils came, and in some instances none at alL Then-, 'too, it was so difficult to get the school rooms properly heated that the school committee and Superintendent Blair deemed it best to dismiss all the schools ahd let the children go to their homes. ' r i It would have been impossible to hold school in several of the rooms of the Hemenway building any way, because of the bursting of pipes of the steam heating apparatus. The janitor carelessly allowed the fires to die down Sunday and when the pipes thawed out yesterday, the rooms in which they were burst were deluged with waterj All this damage is being repaired and the apparatus will be in working order when school opens to-morrow.

Dr. j Hoge at - the First Presbyterian church Sunday morning! A large congregation was not ex-, pected, owing to the extreme inclem ency of the weather, but notwithstand ing this, the spacious auditorium of the .church was filled al most to its I utmost capacity In a previous 'notice, it has been stated that Rev. Mr. Macrae visited Wilmington about thirty years ago, and many friends made while on that visit were out to hear his sermon Sunday morning. .1 His theme was "Love," and his re- marks were based upon a part of the 16th verse of the fourth chapter of the Epistle-of rSt John, "God is Jove; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God and God in him.1' He also read a corresponding passage from the 15th chapter of the Gospel by St John, and from the two selections preached a most excellent sermon, which jwas spoken of very highly by those present - .;" In the afternoon he conducted the regular weekly Sabbath services at the Seamen's Bethel. , THE MUNICIPAL COURT. - Usual Complement of Cases Disposed of by Mayor Waddell Yesterday.

Truck and Fruit in Georgia and Florida Hit Hard No Great Damage ' " In South Carolina. The Atlanta journal -says the cold Iwave of the week which has been gen- 1 ii 1 . rt 1 1 , , , erai mrougnoui me oouin nas piayea havoc with the peach crop in southern and middle Georgia. It is estimated that one-half of the crop has been killed, and the other half has been greatly damaged. The cold further south says the Charleston News and Courier, has done considerable damage to early truck crops. There will not likelybe any Florida strawberries for the Nw York millionaires to buy at so much per berry this month. Other early crops have been set back in Florida and Georgia, but in this section there was little chance for damage. Some peas were up, but it is not thought that these were seriously , hurt The cold will make the asparagus ctod a little late, but as the other sections are also affected this will probably not affect either the size or value of the Charleston product.

M. C. A. on Saturday night of this week, to-wit: The concert by the' Louise Brehany Ballad and Opera Company-at the auditorium last night was certainly one of the finest most meritorious and most enjoyable ever given in Winston, and by many it is placed ahead of anything in the concert line that has ever appeared in our city.
