Last week witnesxed the roost exten
sive cold wave of recent years. Be
ginning in the far northweirt where its
terrible effect is shown by the number of
people frozen to death, it swept over the

PENSION LEGISLATION.
Tha Grand Army Substitute for tha
- - Dapandent Bill.
WAnHHHiTos. D. C, January 25. Senator
Paris, from the Coniniiltue on Pensions, to
day rrported Uvorably a bill (known a the
Graad Army bill) to pension ex-soldiers and
sailors who are incapacitated for manual la
bar, and piwviil pennons (or dependent n-1-atives
of dMed artdieni. The bill has the
nune objects in view that were contemplated
by what was known as tle Ipenait Pen
ian biU. vetoed by the President during tlie
last CWgms. It is balieved, liowewer, that
tlie new bill, by the mote explicit manner in
which its purpose is stated, obviates tb
Driucinal obiecliiin raised in tlie President's
veto. The bill has the unanimous indorse
ment of the Pension Committee.
The first section of the bill declares that, in
considering tlie pension claims of dependent
parents, the fad and cause of death and the
fin that tlie soldier left no widow or minor
children having been shown, it shall he nec
caaary only to show that the parent or par
ants are without other means of support than
tlieir own manual labor or the contributions
of others not legally bound for their support.
A prortao to this section fixes the time for
the commencement of enrion from the date
ot t he passage of tlie act or from tlie date ot
subsequent dendenoe. Slid declares that
the pension shall continue no longer than
lur existence of such dewndeiiee. Iu thia
respect it differs from the vetoed bill, which
provided that no pension should commence
prior to the passage of tlie act, and that iu
case of applications hereafter made the pen
sion should comment from the dale ot tiling
of the application.
By the second section of the hill pensions
at the rate of $12 per month are granted all
persona who served more than three months
and were honorably discharged,' and who
are or may hereafter he suffering front men
tal or physical disability not the result of
their own vicious habits or gross careless
ness. Tiiey differ, however, in the language
by which tliey delinc the degree of disability
which shall entitle a per jn to a eiisioii.
On this point the new bill reads : " Disabili
ty which totally incapucituU them for the
performance of manual labor," while the
language of the vetoed hill read : " Disability
which incapacitated them for performance of
lalsiriti such decree as to render them un
able to earn a snpirt and who are dependent
upou tlieir daily labor for supjiort." The
new hill also limits its provisions to those
Ik) served in the late rebellion, wheruaa
the vetoed bill extended to soldiers of any
war in which the Unite! States mas engaged
The hill further differs from the vetoed
bill in the addition of anotlicJ section grant
ing ensions to the widow or minor children
under 1 year ef age, or, in case there be no
widow or minor children, to a dependent
mother or father, without regard to the
cause of death of the pensioner. The section
also increases the pension of minor children
from t- to jS per month and declares that
the pension of idiotic or helpless minors shall
continue during life or the period of disabil
ity. The section in relation to the ft of .elision
agents is amended by fixing a maximum fee
of $10, instead of allowing a fee of M with a
discretionary power in the Commissioner of
Pensions to increase the fee to $10, as the ve
toed bill eovided.
The remaining section, providing that no
person shall be pensioned who is under (o
litical disabilities or who incurred his disa
bility while engaged in the military service
against the United States diners iu no re
sieet from the bill vetoed by President Cleveland.
The magnitude of the strike in the
Pennsylvania coal regions may lie judged
from the fact that, instead uf SOO.IKIO tons
of coal, which is the ordinary January
product, the output this month will lie
next to nothing, and the f40,U00 wages
which the company would have t-aid to
its miners for their month's work will Is?
entirely withheld from them. Such de
privations as this cessation of wages must
involve make the condition of the miners
a most pitiable one, but they are evident
ly determined to suffer a good deal of
hardship rather than surrender.
The commission apjsiiiitcd by the
New York legislature to incpuiru and re
Jsirt as to the best method of inflicting
the death icnalty, after a thorough and
careful examination of tkc methods
practiced in civilized countries, propose
to amend the present statutory ieualty
by substituting electricity for the gallows.
The method proimsc-J v ill be sudden
silent, painless and infallibly ellicient
There is a very general tlewre among the
American eiplc that the present liarbar
otis and inhuman method of execution
nh all be done away with, and that if hu
man life must betakeu to satisfy the re
quirements of society it should be done
as painlessly and mercifully as ptsssible.
In most countries the instruments of the
executioner arc the sword and the guil
lotine, but the advantages they kisscsb
over the halter are not great enough to
snake it worth while to change. They
are quicker and surer, ami they put an
end to all liojic of resuscitation, but they
produce such ghastly spectacles as to hor
rify the most stolid of oflioial life-takers.
Tlie one fact wliich lias operated so long
to retain the pillows is that its victim's
body, if it be disfigured, is at least entire.
He is not mutilated. His blood is not
drawn. Criminals w hose moral instincts
aeem to be wholly pwc and who have
not enough spirituality to care for their
souls, often display much feeling concern
ing the fate of their dead bodies. They
should not lie deprived of the slight sat
isfaction to lie taken from the knowledge
that they can go to their graves without
suffering actual dismemberiuemt.
Every claim of justice and every argu
ment of mercy are satisfied by the use of
electricity. Concerning its efficacy in
dealing the death-blow, the commission
has produced voluminous and convincing
testimony. Kminent medical and scien
tific men have furnished the commis
sion with the results of experiments upon
animals quite as tenacious of life as man,
and have shown just what machinery is
needed to carry out the capital sentence.
It could be provided at an expense of
from f250 to $.V0. It would consist of a
lightly ivclining chair w ith a metallic
head and foot rest. Into these electrodes
would be fastened. The current would
thus pass through all the centres of func
tion and intelligence and death would lie
so instantaneous that sensation could not
be tossible.
The commission also recommend that
all executions occur in one sjieciGed pris
on aad that convicts from the various
couutics be sent thither as soon as sen
tence is Imposed. Tlie warden of the
prison shall select the day of execu
tion and twenty-one citizens shall be
present as witnesses all of w hom may
be newspaper reporters, but it is desired
to prevent the publication of descri4ive
reports.
The body is to be delivered to a medical
college for dissection or buried in a pris
on graveyard in order to escape public
gatherings of the curious and sickly
wake that w are. continually hearing
ot While some of tlie details are open
to severe criticism, the main recommen
dation to aapplant the alow, strangling,
horrible death of the gallows with in
atantaneoas aad painless death, is un
doubtedly humane.
Held Hia Feet to the Fire.
HrmxonoN, January A dastardly
outrage was ierpetrated in Henderson town
ship this morning, which will pnibabty re
sult in tlie death of tlie victim, Henry M ce
nts sn old woodsman. About 1 o'clock
three masked men entered the humble hut of
Mr. Merrills and demanded to be shown
here his sup'sised wealth was concealed.
For several years Merrills has leeti engaged
in the lumbering business and had accumu
lated alniiit el.OK.i, which was secreted iu the
basement of his dwelling.
Hi assailants bound and gauged him and
failing iu tlu-ir efforts to extort a confession
by these means they held his bare feet to the
fire and otherwise maltreated him in the
most shocking manner. Filially, becoming
unconscious, his assailants left him and
searched the hut for his hidden wealth.
Beneath the flooring they found over HJS)
hidden in a flour sack. But this was all
they secured, as the other money belonging
to him was hidden a short distance from the
house. Merrills was found this morning
still bound and gagged, and owing to his
advanced years it is thought the maltreat
ment he revived will result in his death.
Victime of Lynchers.
pLYMotTH, X. C, Jan. 'Si. Lynch law ran
riot Itcre last night, and this morning the
eople were horrified to find that three negro
prisoners had been taken from the county
jail by a crowd of masked men, conveyed to
a piece of woods on the outskirts of town,
tied to trees and shot to death. This morn
ing their bodies were found iu the position
in which the lynchers left them, securely
liound to the trees and riddled with bullets.
The lynching rty gat liens at the jail
shortly before midnight and demanded that
the jailer should deliver to them Jack Blount
his bnither Matthew Blount and Patterson
Spruitt, who liad lieen charged with the
murder of John Dawson, a peddler, of Cres
well, in this state. Tlie jailer rvfused but
was overM)rered and was was forced to per
mit the men to he taken away.
When tlie woods m ere reached, the victims
begged piloou-.lv for mercy, but no attention
was aid to their outcries, excel tlie stern
reply that they would be given a moment to
pray. Tlien the lynchers, who were various
ly armed with shotguns, muskets and pis
tols, Ix-gan thuir bloody work and fired Vol
ley after Volley until the iirisoners were dead.
Matthew Blount, one of the three victims,
was a preacher of some local notoriety and
had previously lost an arm.
Tlie crime lot which tlie three men were
thus summarily made to suffer occurred on
Jau. 1. On that day John I hi son, the ped
dler whom they were supposed to have mur
dered, was walking doan the country road
on his way to the house of s neighboring
farmer. Fattcrsun Spruitt happened to pass
by in his cart, and when Dawson asked for
a ride be consented and the two drove some
distance. Before tliey reached the end of
tlieir journey they came up with the two
Blouuts. The three negroes determined to
rob I a asou and murder him. They over
powered him, carried him off to a secluded
spot, choked him to death and then endeav
ored to hide his body, on which they found
only one dollar as the reward of their crime.
They were arrested and Spruitt made a con
fession that Preacher Blount had committed
the murder and the other brother had strip
ped the dead man's person of the money.
Oil In Illinois.
Cabhi, III., January 27. The It rid ley -Mclaughlin
Coniany lias been boring for
coal ou a farm It miles southwest of this
village. When li e drillers got down S7 fret
they struck a good vein of coal. Water be
ing needed, the drillers went down I,10li fi e
for an artesian well. The water smelted
strongly of pis, and so the boring continued
i2 feet fartUr down. When the drills were
withdrawn from th wall hut Tuesday even
ing, water spouted 20 bet fa th ir. Tlie
stream was brownish in color, but rapidly
turuod to a yellowish green. An oil man
who saw I he change of color rushed frantic
ally about etliuguudiiug the ire and yelling
at the kip of his voice that the aten had
struck oil. A neiehborinx gully was darned
up and the oil turned into iu pocket.
Tlie well is now flo ing SO barrels an
hour, or 500 barrels a day. There are 2.0
barrels of petroleum in tlie gully. Tanks
will be erected next week and it is thought
that within a week thousands of men will
be engaged in developing tlie new 6eld. The
gravity of the od, is 55 pi cent, and it is
well suited lor illuminating purposes. The
roar of the escaping gas can be heard for
mile..
A GREAT SNOW STORM.
Heaviest for Thirty-Flv YsMU) in
New England.
Boktok, January 36. Keort this morn
ing from various points in Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont state that the heav
iest snow storm (or years prevailed all night.
In most places it is still snowing. Snow fell
from fifteen to eighteen indies and travel rs
greatly impeded. Many trains are entirely
sus)irnded and highways are practically im
passable. A dispatch from Bellows Falls, Vt says :
A solid blockade of snow exists in all direc
tions to-day. There was previously about
two feet on tlie ground, and last night a
heavy fall of eighteen inches added to the
previous amount. It is still snowing and a
high wind is piling it up in all directions.
No trains have arrived or left on any of the
roads. The same conditions are reported
within a radius of twenty-five miles.
Biddeford, Maine, reports roads are every
where blocked and up to eleven o'clock to
day no train has passed there over eitlier
division of the Boston and Maine. The
morning express, which left Portland at 7.30,
is snosred in near Old Orchard. Help has
Ixsen telegraphed for and engines and snow
plows sent from Portland. Streets about the
city are almost impassable and none ot the
schools are in sessiou.
Till WOBST IS THIKTV-riVt TEAKS.
All trains from the north and east are from
four to eight hours late and on many roads
all freight trains have been abandoned. At
Old Orchard a snow-plow with three engines
attached is fast in a snow-bank and slmost
hidden from view. The snow is light and
drifts badly. The wind is high and about
two feet of snow has el read y fallen, and slill
nosixn of a let-un. It is the worst storm
tiiat has visited New England iu thirty fiv
years.
A freight train is off the track on the
Northern Railroad at East Andover'and
wrecking train has gone there. This, in ad
dition to the storm, will effectually block a
traffic. No trafn has reached Concord,
H., since last night over the white Mountai
Division of the lloston and Lowell IUilmad
and none has been sent out. The 'snow sti
continues and the wind has increased
force.
IH NEW YORK ST.VTK.
Nbw Yobk, January 26. Reports from
Eastern and Northern New York show that
the storm is almost as severe in those sec
tions as in New England. It began last nigl:
and by morning over a foot of snow had
fallen. A high wind then set in and the
snow is piling up in great drifts.
A dispatch from Albany says that all rail
roads centering there are in bad condition
and trains are many hours late. The high
wind is making matters worse each hour.
A corresjMinJent at Middletown reports the
limited express from Ht. Louis on the Erie
Road fast in a snow-drift one mile west of
that city. The truck at thai place crosses
low flat meadows, and the high wind has
drifted the snow until it is higher than tlie
cars. The limited has been in the drift over
three hours already, and, as drifts are grow
ing larger, the pruswcts for its gelling out
sooti are very poor. Three other trains are
stalled at the same place.
A terrible snow storm is raging along the
west shore of Lake Champlain. It is the
worst storm that has visited this section in
years. Two feet of snow has already fallen
It is drifting badly and trains arc many
hours late.
Travel on the Erie Railroad is almost sus
pended. No trains from New York have
reached Port Jen is, though some have got
within a few miles of the village. An ex
press train from the West, which passed
through there at 10 o'clock this mom ing, is
stalled in a snow bank. With the aid of two
engines it made but six miles all day. More
than a dozen engines on the mountain side
near there are making efforts to get through,
aided by all the men HHsihle to be secured
All freight trains have been abandoned
Drifts on the railroad in many places are ten
feet deep. It is tiie worst block all since 1S57.
A Tragedy of tha Sea.
Nkw York, Jan. 27. The second officer of
the hark Lizzie Perrv, which was wrecked
three weeks ago ou the Burbadoes coast, ar
rived in New uork to-day. He brings a thril
ling story of the rescue of the Iwo survivors
of the vessel Alfred Watts. They are the
only survivors of 2 isjrsous who had sailed
on the Watts from Yew York for Japan
with a cargo of gas oil-
On October 17, during a sudden gule, a gi
gantic wave broke over tlie vessel, sweeping
her decks from stem to stem. All the per
sons on the ship were on deck at the time.
Boats, gear houses, etc., were toru loose and
hurled into the ocean. With them went
sailors and passengers. Twenty-two of the
shrieking, drowning men were swept far
from the ship, but six managed to cling to
one of the forward dis k -houses which, shat
tered as it was, floated noar. The sudden
ness of the thing was apalling.
Then came hours of misery. Tlie wind
went down, night came on and the survivors,
musing themselves from the stunning blow
of tlieir misfortune, began to realize the aw
fill horror of their position in mid ocean on
a piet of wreckage that scarcely floated be
neath their weight, and with no water or
food. They were the captain. C. Johnston ;
a young man from Philadelphia named Bur
geas; tlie two nien rescued, Magnus and
Linn, both Swedes, and two others who are
unknown.
Then they saw floating by one of the boats
and the Captain aud yonug Burgess plunged
into the sea, and swam a few yards, when
the former suddenly gave a fearful shriek.
struggled for an instant and sank, and sink
ing left a streak of dark bloo l behind him.
The sharks bad secured their first victim.
Burgess swam bark and the attempt to se
cure the boat was abandoned.
Pieces of board were torn from the house
on which tlicv floated aud used as paddles,
trying to reach tlie ship from which they
had been swet, which was discerned a mile
away. Hour after hour tlie men toiled,
burnt with the hot sun overhead, famished
and pan-hed. and yet no nparent progress
was made. Night fell and the relative post
tions of the hull and wreck were maintained.
Again the sun rose, and once more tired
muscles wre strained in the endeavor to
reach the ark of safety, but four days elapsed
before the ship was rrached and then only
two men crawled up on its deck.
Young Burgess had become delirious and,
shrieking that he saw laud close by, plunged
overbciard. The following day the reason of
tao others failed and they, too, leaped into
the waiting ocean. One of these last was an
Irishman from Liverpool.
Magnus and Linn found on the ship a
cask of water that had eswied the univer
sal destruction and a quantity of salt bacon
and lived on these till rescued. But it was
31 days from the ime of the wreck till suc
cor reached them and they were in a terible
condition.
Tlieu the Lizzie Perry went ashore on a
reef and tlie unhappy men again had an ex
perience of shipwreck. The crew of tlie Liz
zie Perry were rescued by a passing English
vessel, which landed some stBarbadues and
took others to England. Tlie American Con
sul at Barhadoes has notified pie New York
authorities that the two raeu in question
have been sent to that port ou board the
Mary Itartillon, which is due in New York.
