The national pike, after it leaves Uniontown, runs directly up the western side of the mountains. In places it is both steep and rocky, and had it not been for the timely assistance of the cowboy com- monwealers with their lariats the commissary wagons would never have reached the summit. As the toiled upward the rain to heavy, wet snow, which came down slowly, settled upon the clothing of the marchers and wet them to the skin.

ANOXUEIl gTUUGQLE ON. WASHINGTON, April 12. -Democratic managers in tho house decided to take Heroic measures to force the republicans to participate in the proceedings. The committee on rules, consisting of Speaker Crisp, Messrs, Outbwaite and Cotchings (dein.) aud Messrs. Reed and Uurrows (rep.) held a meeting just before the housn convened and formulated a rule to crush filibustering, making tho penalty of failure to rote punishable by a line.

Tho republicans determined to contest every inch of the ground, and a fierce parliamentary uyht was inr.nrd'mtel.v precipitated. Sneaker Crisp, however, swept aside all preliminaries, and forced tbe fight on tha main issue. Battle HeRlnH. As soon as tho journal had been read he recognized Mr. from the committee on rules, to present the report.

Mr. Burrows attempted to raise the point of order that no quorum was present, but the speaker hold that the journal having been approved the point of order could not be made save on a vote upon some pending question. Mr. Burrows then tried a flank movement with an appeal from the decision of tho chair, and the speaker declared that he could not take Mr. Catchings off the floor for that pur- Mr, Eeed came forward at this juncture and -manifested a disposition to hold a joint debate with tha chair, but the speaker declined the invitation and directed the clerk to read the report The Objectionable KMOlntlon.

Eight Alabama WnlUner for tlie with Mz More in MO.NTGOMKHY, April The four negroes who murdered Mr. Grant, a prominent citizen of this county, hive been found guilty. Alex, I Joe iicd Wilson Woodley are scn- tenced to hung and Jack Gabriel to tha penitentiary for life. Jim Callowiiy, 1 another, was sentenced to be hanged several days ago. There are now eitftit condemned prisoners in the jail here to be hanged within three months.

There are six other murderers to be tried and it is thought at least three of them will THE MATCH IS OFF. The Between Tonne Gould and Tyler Broken. NEW YORK, April Gould and Miss Odette Tyler, the actress, whose engagement was formally an- nouncad on March 87, are not to be married after alL Mr. Gould himself made public the fact that the engagement had been annulled, with the con- seat of both parties. This sudden conclusion of the romance of multi-millionaire Howard Gould and the pretty comedienne of the Frohman company was not altogether unexpected ifter it became known that Gould's George and Edwin, and his sisters were Irrevocably opposed to the alliance.

As that opposition would result in Howard sacrificing one-half of his heritage under the terms of his father's will, which specified that none of his children should marry without the consent of the majority except at the cost of such a sacrifice, it was believed from Ihe outset that the match would never be consummated. The fact that Miss Tyler herself broke it off is taken not only as an evidence of her natural independence, but of the willful spirit which has controlled all of her actions since her earliest girlhood. It is stated that a powerful reason which operated upon Miss Tyler's mind and induced her to throw her millionaire fiance over was the action of somebody unknown iu sending- a detective to Savannah, her birthplace, to investigate her early life. When Howard Gould heard this he was very angry, and is Raid to have pressed Miss Tyler to marry him at once. Hut Miss Tyler refused to listen to appeal of her ardent young lover and finally notified him that their engagement was ended.

Whatever else may be said of Miss Tyler hereafter she will always be known as the woman who refused to marry one of the richest young- men in the world. It is her purpose to resume her career on the stage at the beginning of next season, and it goes without saying that her recent entanglement will not detract from her value as a footlight attraction. Another Win-rant SAGINAW, April third warrant has been issued for Newell B. Parsons, the confidential bookkeeper of the Wells Stone company, now under arrest on a charge of forgery. The complaint this time alleges that sons abstracted from the vault railroad bonds payable to bearer to the value of 8488,000.

NRW YOBK, April storm which began to level things along the Atlantic coast Tuesday night is gradually losing its cyclonic nature, although thu wind is still sweeping down the coast with considerable force. In this city and on tlic direct coast line the fury of the storm was spent by dawn, but in the wake of the cyclone, which is slowly passing out to sea, the weather continues sufficiently rough to cause well-founded apprehension for any unfortunate vessels which may be in "its track. It will be days before the full extent, of the loss of life and property can be determined.

the fate of some of the smaller craft, which were off the coast during the heightof the pule, will never be known. Certain it is, from the meager number of arrivals at this port since the storm began, that a. lleut of sailing craft lias been driven out to sea or forced to fly before the tempest under bure poles and to be tossed about at the mercy of the waves. All that is known now is that two more vessels, in addition to the two which were wrecked Wednesday, have been reported cast up on the coast, and that more lives have probably been crushed out during the night. Storle.

of Wreck and DlMiter. There is scarcely a point on the Staten Island, New Jersey and Long Island coasts but sends its story of damage by the gale. Railroad washouta, undermined buildings, ruined bathing pavilions, demolished piers, wrecked sailing craft, uprooted trees and prostrate telegraph poles are some of the features of the tale of devastation which is told after the subsidence of the fiercest storm known in this fi- cinity for TwMity-Five TIctlmi. Reports from places on the Long Island coast say that eight persor-s who were at sea in three are missing and we beliered to be lost increases the number of victims Irom the storm to more than twenty-five. Three men who sailed in the yacht Sudlose on Friday from Rockrille Center for Long Beach have probably been drowned.

They are: Thomas Mack and Carl Ayres, wealthy plumbers of Brooklyn, and James Hutchinson, employed on the yacht. Jones' inlet, the outlet from the bay, has been the scene of many wrecks. Searching parties have not been able to find any trace of the boat or men. Daniel DeMott, superintendent of the sawmills at Rockville Center, and his son Robert, who sailed oceanward in the yacht Joseph before the storm began, are missing. It is thought that they were caught outside by the gale and that both have been drowned.

Three duckhunters started out on Monday afternoon from Prceport, L. and have not been beard from since, ft is believed that they may have been drowned.
