The prevailing Miraard is a full-fledged
competitor for records against those made by
tno buzzard livo years ago and the town is
almost completolyj.snow bound, and the in
dications are that to-ulght tho town will be
entirely cut off fntm tho surrounding towns.
The Immense snow drifts und tho great gales,
with tho continual fall of suow, has com
pletely paralyzed local business aud it was
only the most urgent appeals of families short
of fuel that induced a few teamsters to haul
coal this morning. The town is actually
threatened with a coal famine. Ono teamster
had orders from twelve families this morn
ing and could only fill threo of them.
TUR COLMKMIH.
The orders issued Saturday by tho I'. & R.
C. .t I. Co. that efforts be inado to operate its
collieries to-day were thwarted by tho bliz
zard, and not a wheel moved. Many of the
men wentout, but were obliged to return to
their homes. It was absolutely impossible to
attempt work of nny kind at any of the col
lieries. Tho same condition of affairs pro
vailed at the Kchley Run, Cambridge and
Wm. Ponn collieries, aud tho officials fcrir
that the places may bo forced Into idleness
to-morrow.
SCHOOLS CLOSED.
All tho public schools were opened this
morning, but tho doors were closed again
soon after the hour for opening the exercises,
There was a very slim attendance of pupils
and in several of the buildings tho heating
apparatus was crippled.
CAUOHT IK DRIFTS,
At about eight o'clock this morning a
woman who had made her way through the
snow drifts as far as the corner of Main and
Centre streets, became almost exhausted
when a guest at the Ferguson House went to
her assistance. After resting a few minutes
the woman was able to proceed on her
journey.
DoWitt Steedlo, ono of tho clerks at the
Ferguson House, had an unpleasant exper
ience while on his way from his homo to the
hotel this morning. He got caught in a drift
at tho corner of Oak and West streets aud at
ono timo was completely enveloped by the
snow. A passing teamster went to his assist
ance. Stccdle was prostrated for some time
after reaching tho hotel.
All tho railroads are more or less demor
alized by the blizzard and it is with the
greatest difficulty that any service at all is
kept up with tbo outside districts.
A freight train on tho P. & R. Railway got
into a drift at tho Turkey Run colliery this
morning aud the crew shoveled for two hours
befure they got the train through. Upon
arrival at the freight station the train got
into another diift and the crew had another
hour's work to get the cars to their proper
place. Tho snow was drifted on tho tracks
to a level with the station platform.
The P. fc 11. uowspaper train got snow
bound at East Mahanoy Junction this morn
ing and uoue of the Philadelphia nowspapers
arrived hero.
Six car loads of coal consigned to the Shen
andoah public water works are snowbound
somewhere between East Mahanoy Junction
and Brandouviile. One car of coal arrived
at tho pumping station this afteruoun.
The Lehigh Valley passenger train, east
bound, leaving town at 8:23 a. m. got through
to Mauch Chunk without accident or great
delay, but the passenger train that left here,
eastbound, at 7:50 n. in., got snow boliud
betweeu Delano and Silver Brook Junctiou.
No west-bound trains reached town on this
line.
The Pennsylvania R. R. passenger train
that left here at 0:10 a, m. arrived at its
destination aud made its run back to this
town an hour behind schedule time. The
8:15 a. m. tralu did not leave until 0 o'clock,
and reached Pottsvlllo at 10:15, an hour and
twenty minutes behind the schedule. Tho
noon train reachod hero an hour late.
The L, V. passenger train due here from
Shamokin at 10:30 a. m., arrived hero 30
minutes Jate. Tho train was mado up of oue
passenger coach and two engines.
Six freight and five passenger trains ou
the P. & R. railway wero stilled between
Philadelphia and Reading this morning.
WIKES DOWN.
Many of the arc electric light wires in
town were blown down last night and the
streets wero in darkness after 11:40 o'clock.
Tho storm prevonted repairs to-day and the
prospects ror lights to-night are not en
couraging, At two o'clock this afternoon the woather
conditions were in conformity with the pre
dictions that the blizzard may continue
another day or two. The thermometer reg
istered 2 degrees above zero and the gales
were sweeping through the streets with in
creased fury. In many streets there are snow
drifts over nine feet high. Tho condition of
the railway traffic grows worse steadily and
the complete cutting off of all trains before
night is threatened.
This afternoon the P. & 11. Railway com
pany issued orders annulling all trains on its
lines betweeu Shamokin aud Port Clinton.

steady, though low. In tho East, prices
soiteued a little toward the closu of the
msnth, but In the West and at some northern
points, there has been a temporary scarcity
of certaiu sizes, owiug to tho unexpectedly
heavy demand during tho cold spell in De
cember, and prices have been firmer, and in
some cases advanced. Wlillo it is generally
expected mat au ellort will be made to rna

bo done. It involves the consummation of

Whether any tangible results will be evolved

THE CAPITOL DESERTED.
Ths Cold Wave Han a Depressing Kircct
Upon LegtiUtnra.
Special to Kvsiilxo IIkrald.
Harrisburg. Feb. 13. The extreme cold
weather and heavy winds, caused the state
capital to be deertd to-day. Most of those
who lert tor their homes on Friday afternoon,
with the expectation of returning this after
noon in time for the evening session of the
House, will hardly bo able to get here in
timo. In that case the effort to reconsider
the vote on the McOarrell jurors' bill will
hardly bo made at to-night's session, and will
be deferred until Tuesday.
The contending fore pa in the Senatorial
fight enter tbo fourth week with tho pros
pect of a termination of the fight no brighter
than when the first vote was taken, notwith
standing tho rumors of deals to tho contrary.
Senator Quay is still in tho fight, and his
friends declare be will remain a candidate to
tho end. Every day there are stories given
out by his antagonists to tho effect that Ue
ensuing ballot will show great changes, and
every day tho balloting goes on with Quay's
lines unbroken, his name hovering around
tho nnmbor thirteen.
Fverybody knows there are four or fivo
Martin men now votlug for Quay who will
leave him as soon as they aro ordered to. A
groat blast of trumpets was to have been
mado when they took tho plunge, but .(he
"antis" arly gave the snap away, aud
their desertion now will cause no surprise.
Wo aro now told thoso mon aro to take the
plungo to-morrow. Whether thoy will or not
remains to bo seen. The "antis" are by no
means a harmonious whole, and it is openly
charged ty the Quay people that their op
ponents cannot agree on any candidate, and
that is the reason they split up their votes
among a lot of candidates, not ouo of whom
can secure tbo united support of the whole.
It is scarcely probable that any chaugo In
tho situation will take placo for at least two
weeks. The opposition have about made up
their minds that they cannot defeat Quay iu
tho Legislature, and their only hope is to
keep up a deadlock. There are enough Quay
men who will stick to him until the ond tc
prevent the election of any other Republican,
and an attempt to fnse with tho Democrats
on a Republican will simply elect Quay, as
there aro from 25 to 30 Democrats who prefer
Quay to any other Republican, and who
would resent any attempt to transfer their
votes to Quuoy or anybody else. Tho Quay
men aro saying little about the fight, except
ing that Quay will be elected before the day
for adjournment comes round. Their oppo
nents, however, deny this and assure their
friends that tho contest will end with the de
feat of Quay before the latter realizes it.
Tbo calendars of bills that have run the
gauntlet of committees aro rapidly filling up,
and many of great importance are now on
incubation, and will ere long oither be laws
upon oui statute books or else will have re
ceived tho grand Kibosh, according to the
temper of tho majority of tho members. A
largo number of bills have been reported
affirmatively to the House, and the calandar
is in shape to give plenty of work tbo coming
week unless there Bhall be further Bctlon on
tho bill "to take away from District Attor
neys the right to stand jurors aside." In
view of tho fact that means almost super
human are being made to do so, no one can
tell what may happen.
Over 150 appropriation bills have boon nro-
scnted but meet of them will be left by the
way&iue. '1 his week tho expected revenues
or the state will bo carefully gone over, and
men me pruuing Unite will be used to nam
uown expenses.

work on its erection will not be commenced

THE COUNTY EXPENSES.
The Taxpayers' Association is still inquir
ing into the expenso account of tho county
for the past year, through thoir expert ac
countant from Philadelphia. He has not yet
completed his labors. William L. Sheafer,
the executive officer of the Taxpayers' As
sociation, had a conference Saturday with
County Solicitor Bcchtel and tho private
counsel for Controller Muldoon. It is said the
subject discussed had a bearing on the esti
mates recently mado by the Controller of the
expenditures and resources for the current
year. The Taxpayers' Association made
several suggestions which, if adopted, would
materially reduce tho expenses of the county.
It is likely these recommendations will be
adopted. It will be remembered that the
Controller's private counsel, Mr. Farqubar, is
also one or the counsol for tho Taxpayers'
Association.

DEITRtCn'8 PARDON.
On Wednesday next counsel for Neri
Deitrlch, the ex-Poor Director who is now in
juilserviuga seutenco for accepting bribes
while a member of the Board, will go to
Harrisburg and appear before the Baud of
Pardons in behalf of Deitrich's release. A
number of prominent politicians and friends
of Deitrich will also make the journey
to the state capitol in his interest and
present the numerously signed peti
tions that have been prepared praying for
tho pardon of the ox-Poor Director. The
outlook for a favorable coniidcrathn is not
very bright, as tho Taxpayers' Association,
which ww largely instrumental In securing
DietrKh's conviction, will also ba represented
by counsel and will vigorously oppose the
granting of a pardon. There is not much
doubt but that a pardon would be grunted
were there no opposition, but under tho cir.
oumsttiuces tho general ipAPiesslon about the
oouit huuse seems tu be that the outlook is
gloomy.
