CURIOUS STORM EFFECTS. New Orleans Has First Skating in 25 Years Horse Frozen to Death Standing on a Cake of Floating Ice Coal $25 a Ton in New York. There is skating in New Orleans for the first time in 25 years. The Storm King compelled the U. S.

forces to vacate a fort. Thirty five men of the Engineers' Department of the United States army, who had been stationed at Fort Delaware, were taken off by a city ice boat. The men were out of provisions, and, being cut off entirely from a fresh supply, the officer in charge decided to abandon the fort for the present. At New York, a horse floating down the river on a cake of ice, astonished people on the Brooklyn water front, yesterday morning. At some risk men got near enough to the animal to lasso it.

and were astonished when the strain came to see it fall stiffly over on its side. The beast was dead. He had been frozen standing upright on the ice, and the floe had broken from the base and the animal floated down stream like a statue adrift. Nine men in Allegheny, at a loss for gambling game, agreed to stand out In the blizzard in their shirt sleeves until one succumbed. The first to give in to buy the drinks.

Five of them are down with pneumonia and two of these may not recover. In Morris county. New Jersey, partridges were driven by the storm into barnyards to feed with the chickens. Dead quail and rabbits are scattered on all the clear places in the hills. Twenty five dollars a ton was offered by telephone for coal by a Fifth avenue, New York, millionaire, whose supply gave out with the recent weather.

The tender was refused, as the dealer had not enough coal to carry out contracts Into which he had already entered EIGHTEEN DEGREES BELOW.

A working train made up of three engines and one passenger coach while clearing the snow bound tracks on the Norristown branch of the Reading railway last night jumped the track above Wissa hickon. Thomas Nuttall, fireman, of Norristown, was instantly killed. H. P. McDowell, engineer, of Norristown; James Keating, road foreman, of Manayunk, and George C.

Bowers, trainmaster at the Reading Terminal, Philadelphia, were severely injured. Several others also received slight injuries. Two of the engines were completely demolished. After jumping the track they crashed into the wall of the feed store of W. P.

Stroud, cutting a deep gap in the building. Mr. Bower, the trainmaster of New York division, was a former resident this city, and was a train dispatcher under George Eltz. He has been living in Philadelphia for some years, and a brother of Reuben H. Bower, the well known freight conductor on the Lebanon Valley road, HEADING DAILY TIMES AND DISPATCH.

READING, PENNA AMUSEMENTS. ACADEMY OF MUSIC. Tonight will be given the first presentation in this city of the opera "Egypta," a production that has won its way to the front in many of the larger cities of the country. A full dress rehearsal, will take place this afternoon. The cast embraces a number of Reading's good singers, which will be augmented by a whole host of minor characters who will take part.

The story deals with a period of history which the world now invests with romance. The costumes and the stage settings appeal strongly to the eye. The Penn Wheelmen, under whose auspices "Egypta" will be given, state that the sale of seats is encouraging, and that large houses are looked for. "Natural Gas," a satire upon fake speculations, was played last evening before a delighted audience by Eddie Girard and a lively company of comedians, singers and dancers. Girard is as clever as ever as "Whirlem O'Rourke," the eccentric Milanese policeman.

Steve Jennings was happy as "Christopher Bluff," the speculator. An original member was Florence E. Evans, whose impersonation of "Kittie Malone" was unctuous and laughable. Others doing good work were Jessie Gardner, as "Jimpsey;" Nina Bertolini, Frank O'Brien, Andy Barr, Kitty Melrose, Nellie Gilchrist, George Manchester and Chris. Green.

"The Little Minister." On Saturday, Feb. 18, at the Academy of Music, is to be presented by Charles Frohman's company, one that has been specially selected by this well known manager, the now famous comedy, "The Little Minister." This is the play adapted from J. M. Barrie's famous novel of the same name. He has retained many of the strong incidents and introduced all the peculiar types as shown in his novel.

We have received reports that the company has been accorded praise of the highest order wherever it has been seen. There is much curiosity by our theatre goers and those who seldom, if ever, attend the theatre, to see, this performance. This is undoubt edly owing to the vfact that the story is such a peculiar one. It is pleasant to be able to announce that Mr. Frohman's efforts to provide a come dy and a company of the merit will be appreciated here.

In order to accommodate all who are desirous of seeing this play, a special matinee will be given at 2.10. GRAND OPER.A HOUSE. This evening the successful Irish drama, "Ivy Leaf," will open a three days' engagement at the tirand Opera House. The company is a good one, and among the special scenes? used in its production will be the "Lakes of Killarney," by moonlight, the "Revolving Tower" and the "Eagle's Crag." Love episodes and dramatic scenes are blended together, and a bright vein of comedy runs through the piece. During the performance song and dance specialties will be introduced by Charles Lloyd, Baby Irene.

Frank Gorman and the Ivy Leaf quartet. There will be a matinee on Saturday afternoon. BIG ENGINES STALLED. There Were 13 of Them and all Had lo to be Dug Out of the Driftsv Probably the worst tie up near Reading occurred on Tuesday afternoon The snow plow with several locomotives attempted to break through the big drifts along the mountain side on the north bound track of the P. below the' bridge leading to Poplar Neck.

Other engines were sent t(S the relief of these and they too became stalled and finally nine engines were snow bound at that one sot. The officials then ordered a. snow plow down the south bound tfack and everybody was told tojseep out of the After getting'under headway, they shot by the' imprisoned locomotives at 35 milean hour. Herman Ott, dispatcher at Oley street, took in the sight from the tower at the bridge and he declares that he had never seen anything like it in all of his 20 years experience about the railroad. He says that the snow was hurled fully 50 feet in the air by the big plow and the engines lying on the north bound track were completely covered.

All that was visible was a portion of the smoke stacks'. Tlje snow bound locomatives were all dug out about 5 o'clock and brought to Reading. This was the worst spot near the city. A short distance south, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, that company had four engines stalled in a big drift at the same time. WIFE KILLED BY TORTURE.

Husband Beat Her, Set Fire to Dress and Threw her Out of Doors Coatesville, Feb. 15. John Hol pin, a laborer at the rolling mills, came home late Saturday night and brutally attacked his wife, beating her into a semi conscious condition. Then he deliberately set fire to her underclothing. He tore the blazing clothes off her and threw her out of the house into the storm.

She regained her senses and crawled into the house, and she laid there without assistance until Sunday evening. A neighbor then learned of her condition and reported to Chief of Police Umsted, who, with Dr. H. Scott, went to the residence and found the woman in terrible agony and her husband forcing whiskey into her. There 'was no fire in the house.

The chief arrested the husband and the doctor took charge of the woman who he found burnt from her neck to her knees, and in a dying condition. She was removed to the Burgesls' office and requested to be sent to a Lancaster hospital. She has children living in that city. 'Squire Meyers took an ante mortem statement of the woman and Chief Umsted and the doctor accompanied her to Lancaster. She died there.

15. A naughty little fox which had been chained at the' bird store of Ambrose Taylor, played high jinks last night, and in the midst of his pranks he overturned a gas ctove which had been left burning to heat the room to a proper temperature. The' escaping gas served to asphyxiate a number of valuable birds belonging to Mr. Taylor, entailing quite a severe loss. The fox, however, was as lively as ever when the store was opened this morning, but had he been permitted to remain in the store an hour or two longer without ventilation, his life' would also have been lost.

DAMAGING TESTIMONY; AGAINSTTHE ALLEGED FIREBOJG.

State Offlcerg Cluina That Admitted Having Kindled the Fire in Pardee Hall aud Committed tlie ct of Vandalism. Easton, Feb. 15. Prof. George H.

Stephens was placed on tr.ial here yesterday. The defendant, wh 0 was for four years an instructor in e)hics and logic at Lafayette College, has been in the Northampton co unty prison since. June 23 last. His incarceration has bleached his complexion, but has reduced his weight little, if any. When he took his srSat beside his counsel, William C.

Sfeiipman and ex Senator William Beid.elman, he appeared to be bright cheerful. Now and then he would gi'ance at the big audience present and occasionally he would bow when he rec ognized a familiar face. The first case was he one charging him with having Pardee Hall. There are two ottler indictments against him charging, him with larceny and malicious mischief. The morning session was occupie by selecting' a jury by J.

W. Fox, of counsel for the commonwealth. ATTORNEY OPENS. In opening the case Mr. Fox said that on Dec.

18, 3iS97, Pardee Hall, the most imposing of all the buildings at Laio.yette, was destroyed by fire, and with it a larg variety of valuable collections, electrical apparatus and machinery, airra several vaiuable libraries. They wculd prove that this act was and the work of one ma.f, and "that was the act of that rj.ian," pointing at Stephens. "The act," Mr. Fox continued, "was one of black, bitter revenge, being perpetrated as it was, in the night time. The prisoner came to Easton for the specific purpose.

It was not as in some cases for the insurance, but the act of the wicked heart of the bad man. The commonwealth would prove that Stephens left his home in Susquehanna county on Dec. 17, sneaked into town in disguise and gained the college grounds by a back route." The witnesses called during the afternoon included Prof. Moore and Prof. Davison, of Lafayette College.

They testified to the valuable articles the building had contained, all of which were destroyed with the structure. It was In Prof. Davison's department that the flames were started. Detective Doran, of South Bethlehem, who arrested Stephens at Dun cannon, on June 22 last, testified that he had arrested the defendant on a warrant charging him with malicious mischief. There was no ether charge against stepnens at that time.

DAMAGING The main witness of the day was Charles B. Zimmerman, now a student at Princeton. Zimmerman was a student at Lafayette in 1897. It was at his home Stephens was arrested. The witness said that while "he was a student here he had become intimately acquainted with Prof.

Stephens, then a member of Lafayette's faculty. He had met the defendant frequently after the latter was no longer connected with the college. Stephens was at his room the night of a play given In the Opera House by the students, in June, 1898. That was the night Stephens is said to have gone into the chapel with a basket of bad eggs. The witness found the defendant in his (Zimmerman's) room, when he returned from the Opera House.

Stephens had written to Zimmerman that he would be here on that occasion. The following Monday, two days later, Stephens left for Zim mermans' home, saying that he was going there to make an effort to secure the principalship of a school. Zimmerman was asked if Stephens had at any time, when alone with him, made any reference to the burning of Pardee Hall. The witness said he had and was then asked what the defendant had said in reference to the matter. Stephens' counsel made strenuous efforts to have Zimmerman stop pod from telling the conversation that had taken place concerning the Are, but the many objections offered were all overruled by the court.

ALLEGED CONFESSION. Mr. Shipman held that inducements had been offered Stephens and because of these inducemnts he had admitted his guilt to certain crimes. Continuing his testimony in response to questions asked by' Mr. Fox, Zimmerman said he had had two private interviews with Stephens the day the latter was brought here under arrest and that during one of.

these conferences the defendant confessed to him that he, Stephens, had burned Pardee Hall. Zimmerman said that he and Stephens were sitting down, facing each other, when the defendant leaning forward and striking him on the knees, said: "Zim, I burned Pardee Hall." The testimony created a sensation fn every part of the crowded court room. Members of the bar left their seats and walked as near as. they were permitted to go to the witness box and the people in the audience leaned forward to catch every word that was spoken. Stephens eyed the witness closely, but betrayed no fear.

A moment or two later he walked to one of his counsel and held a conversation In low tones, talking earnestly. Resuming his testimony Zimmerman said the confession to him had been made after the witness had advised Stephens, for his conscience sake, to tell if he had committed any other crime than that of malicious mischief, to which he had previously admitted. The witness was subjected to a long and rigid croFs examination, but his very damaging testimony remained unshaken. It was 6.30 this1 evening before court adjourned, but the crowd of people who are attending the1 trial remained until the session closed, so intense was the interest. ACTS OF VANDALISM.

It is said that Prof. Stephens, after having been arrested at Duncannon, and brought here, made a lengthy confession to County Detective Johnson in the presence of Prof. Owen and Prof. F. A.

March, of the Lafayette faculty; District Attorney Fox and two or three other persons. 5t is also stated that in that confession the defendant admitted having burned Pardee Hall and having committed various, acts of vandalism in the college chapel and about the campus. That alleged confession has so far been kept from the public. Very few people know what it contains. The State's officers' claim that In his alleged confession Prof.

Stephens told how he came here late at night, kindled the fire and then left the city without being seen or identified by any person in Easton. It is also told in the alleged confession how the defendant tarred the chapel seats1, destroyed the hymn books, damaged the organ, how he had come here with a lot of bad egggs to break them about the chapel and how he had been surprised and struck by the watchman when in the room. Many people are anxious to hear that confession read and it is that anxiety that in taking them to the court room. PLEASED WITH ARMY LIFE. Robert Ritz, of Reading, Has No Fault to Find With His Experiences to Date.

Among the soldier passengers on the transport Grant, now on its way to join General Otis' army in the Philippine Islands, is Robert Ritz, of this city, who enlisted in the Seventeenth Infantry the early part of last month. His brother, George, living at 359 North River street, received a letter from Robert, postmarked Port Said. The letter gives an interesting account of his experiences from the time of his enlistment up to the day they got on board the transport. From what he has thus far seen he is highly pleased with army life and says he thinks he will have no cause to regret enlisting. On board the ship they have drill three times daily and are given plenty to do to occupy all of their time.

When the letter was mailed the transport was about entering the Suez Canal and he promised to drop another note when they had passed through. A number of the soldiers were given shore leave at Port Said and failed to return to the vessel in time to get on board before she proceeded on her way. They were taken by train across the isthmus, and will join their company when the vessel makes its next stop. BLIZZARD OUTWITS CUPID. Bridegroom Could not get to Bethlehem and Marriage Was Postponed.

Bethlehem, Feb. 15. George S. Opp, organist of Philadelphia, owing to the railroads being snow blocked, was prevented from reaching Bethlehem to meet his engagement as bridegroom with his bride. Miss Annie Sandt, of this place yesterday in an church here.

The unparalell ed blizzard of the present week completely paralyzed all kinds of business and traffic, both on the railroads and on the public highways, has; been at a standstill for three days. The borough of Hamburg presents the appearance of a veritable Klondike settlement, the snow drifts and embankments being so high that at many points people cannot look across the streets. Long cavalcades of horsemen opened the streets for travel, and even these had sufficient to cope against in the face of the blinding storm and zero weather. The unusual conditions of being without mails or daily newspapers was one that but very few of the present generation had experienced, and when the Times made its appearance, although more' than 24 hours late, it wasi read with avidity and great interest. The people who are laid up by sickness, miles away from the town, could not receive the attention of physicians and in some instances genuine suffer great difficulty in caring for live' stock, The farmers are also experiencing great difficulty in caring for live stock, the small streams being inaccessible or frozen solid.

As far as can be learned, railroad traffic has never before been so completely closed as during the present week, but it is worthy of note that no fatal accidents have occurred in the prodigious task of clearing the tracks. The drifts in this locality are remarkable, many of them measuring from 10 to 15 feet in depth. Those familiar with game life claim that quail and pheasants are almost entirely annihilated by this protracted spell of zero weather and that if not frozen to death, they are covered with snow and suffocated or starved. The Times correspondent saw but one pair of birds during the week, in the form of two English, sparrows which had visited the kitchen door where crumbs might be" obtained. The ladies of St.

John's Lutheran church held a "Fastnacht" sociable on Tuesday evening in the basement of the new church. The attendance was encouraging and the little entertainment will net about $50 for the benefit of the congregation. The St. John's Lutheran church of Hamburg will soon receive a bell weighing over 2,500 pounds. It was intended to obtain chimes, but the tower is not adapted for them, and consequently it was decided that one large bell would be sufficient to call the faithful to worship in this pretty new church.

Harvey E. Schock, of the medical de partment of the University of Pennsylvania, visited his last Sun day. AN EDITOR IN DREAMLAND. One of the Effects of an Attack of Grip Upon Capt. Alfred Sanderson.

The many friends of Capt. Alfred Sanderson, of the Pennsylvania Methodist, in this city will be pleased to learn that he has fully recovered from his serious illness. In his Ramble Column of the current issue of the Methodist he writes entertainingly concerning his case, concluding as follows: "There was also a ludicrous side to the almost sleepless nights of pain and suffering. From sheer exhaustion I fell into slumber, and then wandered off into dreamland. One night 1 was engaged in the task (and a herculean one it proved to be) of enlarging the Methodist Hymnal.

It got to be as large as my bed room, over 15 feet square, and then it became necessary to get a six horse dray to haul it to the church. After getting it there the next thing was to get it inside. The cost was something, too which had not been taken into consideration. Very few people could have purchased it. At any rate none of my Methodist friends will be afflicted with so costly a church ornament, which would have proved a veritable elephant on their hands.

"Then, on another occasion, the bright idea of building and giving away churches galore. My partners were Mr. John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. John S. Sible, of this city.

I have not learned where the churches are or to whom they were given. Wonderful, indeed, what fantastic illusions come to one's mind in a state of somnolence." MINERS' JOURNAL SOLD. The Plant Disposed of by the Sheriff for $555. Pottsville, Feb. 15.

Deputy Sheriff O'Donnell sold out the Miners' Journal Printing company, to Nicholasl Heb lich, attorney, yesterday, for $555. The sale was made upon an execution of I. N. Megargee paper dealers of Philadelphia. Labor claims and rental aggregating upwards of $1,800 were also presented.

Among the wage claims were $200 in favor of J. F. Finney and Elias Davis each. The bidding started at $100 by Wm. Brenne man, brother of Landlord Phil Brenne man, and it was finally participated in by Lawyers Heblich and Edwards (who is president of the Journal.) The labor claims are due reporters and workers in the composing rooms.

Prior to the sale Mr. Edwards notified purchasers that the three Thorne typesetting machines were not the property of the Miners' Journal Printing they not having been paid for. A few years ago, the establishment was worth over $20,000, or ten times what it sold for. BURIED IN THE SNOW. Louis Korofsky Found Lifeless in a Huge Drift and Murder is Feared.

Mahanoy City, Feb. 15. A party of men going over the mountain near here on Tuesday afternoon saw the face of a man peering over a snow drift. An examination revealed the body buried in the snow in a sitting position frozen stiff and lifeless. It proved to be Loui3 Korofsky, aged 26 years, of West Pine street, who had been missing since Monday evening.

Bloodstains were found on his clothing and this has awakened a suspicion that possibly ail may not have been right. A fellow workman of Korofsky says that he and the former started homeward from their work at Ellengowan colliery about 5 o'clock Monday evening, and during the blinding storm Korofsky lagged while the former hastened on, supposing him to be following closely. A search of the mountains that night proved fruitless. The search was continued the following morning and until late in the afternoon, when they found hie lifeless body. SEARCHING FOR KATIE BLOOD.

A Curly Haired Birdsboro Girl Disappears and is Believed to be in Reading. Thomas Blood, of Birdsboro, visited city hall yesterday and asked the police department to assist him in locating his 19 year old daughter, Katie, who has been missing from home since Monday morning. On that morning she left ostensibly to visit the family of Richard Benner, living about a mile from her home. It was feared at first that she might have been overcome in the snow storm and frozen to death. Several drifts were dug up, but no traces were found.

Later her father learned that she purchased a ticket for Reading at the P. S. V. depot, but was not seen taking the train at that place. Mr.

Blood, however, believes that she is in Reading. The girl is of medium height, with dark brown curly hair. She wore a military hat, fur cape and dark dress. EVERY WOMAN NEEDS A RELIABLE MONTHLY REGULATOR. Dr.

Reading Agents, f. S. Stevens, 721 Penn, and Mansion House Pharmacy, IMPORTANT LEGISLATION. SEVERAL MEASURES SIDE TRACKED BY THE SENATORIAL DEADLOCK. A State Tax on Malt Liquors A Tax on Iistilled Liquors May Follow The National Guard Other Legislation.

Cor.espondence Reading Times.j Harrisburg, February 15, 1S99. There have been a number of important measures introduced in the legislature, but which are side tracked by the McCarrell bill fight and the senatorial deadlock. Citizens in central Pennsylvania will be interested in a bill which would permit the Pennsylvania Canal company to abandon the canal along the line of the Pennsylvania railroad In Dauphin county. This bill meets with popular opposition for several reasons. Since the freshet at the time of the Johnstown flood, the canal has been practically useless on account of the washing away of the embankments at many places.

The canal was originally purchased from the state with a proviso in the contract that it should be kept In repair as a water way forever. Over $3,000,000 worth of bonds of this company are held mostly by people of this state, and though the interest has been paid regularly by the Pennsylvania railroad, the principal may be wiped out should this bill become a law. The owners of boats and warehouses along the line of the canal would be without redress. Pretests against the passage of this bill have been piling in on the members of the legislature. The latest proposition to increase the revenues of the state came before the legislature when Represntative Hosack, of Allegheny, Introduced in the house a bill placing a' state tax on beer, and porter.

The measure provides that upon each gallon of beer, ale or porter brewed in this commonwealth during the years beginning July 1, 1899, and ending June 30, 1S02, there shall be assessed and paid into the state treasury a tax of one half a cent, to be collected semi annually. The clerks of the courts of quarter sessions shall furnish to the auditor general a certi fied list of brewers in their respective districts, for which the clerks shall receive a fee of $10. When any brewer shall fail to make a report the auditor general within 30 days ie license of the brewers shall be suspended until the auditor general shall certify that the provisions of the act have been complied with. Whenever the auditor general shall suspect that the return of a brewery Is fraudulent, he shall demand an inspection of the books, and upon this being refused the license shall be revoked. A proviso permits the brewer to appeal to the common pleas courts of Dauphin county.

No bill has thus far been introduced to impose a tax on the products of dis tilleries, beyond the regular license fee. This may follow, however. Senator Scott, of Luzerne, Introduced two bills, one to reorganize the National Guard and the other making every able bodied citizen of Pennsyl vania, between the ages of 21 and 45, members of the state militia. The first one provides that the National Guard shall consist of 180 companies of infantry, five troops of cavalry, five batteries of artillery, four companies of engineers and a signal corps. There shall be 'one major general and five brigades, each commanded by a brigadier general.

The guard shall conform to the regulations of the United States army. The militia bill provides for the organization of a reserve force, to be called out in the event of war, to suppress riots and to assist the civil officers in the execution of the laws of the commonwealth. The members shall be enrolled by assessors, and shall include every male citizen between the ages of 21 and 45, except those mentally unsound, drunkards, paupers, convicts and state and county officials. The assessors are to be paid 3 cents for each person they report liable for military duty, and the county commissioners are directed to pub'ish the list and send the names to the adjutant general. When called upon for active service the members must promptly respond or furnish substitutes.

Failure to do so renders them liable to court martiaL Her Pets. "Arc you very fond of pets?" asked tho Interviewer.

It quickly overcomes the excessive exhaustion, invigorates the appetite and assists nature to throw off the deadly microbes from the system.

In times of epidemic like the present it should be taken as a preventive of disease. "Grip had left me a physical wreck; weak, helpless and miserable. I could not eat; could not sleep; could not gain any strength, and had nervous prostration of the worst kind. Our home physician could not help me and I commenced using Dr. Miles' Nervine.
