ICE KING LAYS GRIP
ON EASTERN STATES
Coldest Weather of Winter
In New York.
BIG DROP IN THE TEMPERATURE.
Many of the Eastern States Report
the Coldest Weather In Five Years.
Traffic and Travel Seriously Interrupted
Thereby.
New York, Jan. 5.?When the government
thermometer reached 1 be- 1
low zero at 5 o'clock this morning, !
all local cold weather records, since j
1876,, when 0 degrees below was reoorded,
were beaten.
The thermometers in various outlying
parts of the city went several
degrees lower, and in the suburbs ;
from 8 to 12 degrees below zero was
reported.
At 9 o'clock the official thermometer
had gone up and the absence ot I
wind was some relief. The intense
sold interfered considerble with all
of outdoor occupations, and delayed ;
all regular and suburban trains from 1
a few minutes to several hours. The :
effects of heavy snow had been over- |
come, but it was difficult to keep up J
steam, and many local trains had to ^
be abandoned on account of disabled
engines.
Traffic on land and water was greatly
interfered with. The Atlantic liners
arrived looking like spectre ships.
Both the East and North rivers were
barely navigable, while the Harlem j
river, for the first time in eight years,
was impassable above Maceomb's
dam bridge at One Hundred and Fitty-lifth
street.
Ferry boats and tugs were swept
cut of their courses oy the drift ice !
and every ounce of paper in them was i
required to reach the slips. The boats ,
which land at the battery had to turn 1
battering rams to part the ire In theiT |
Blips. Mails from the west and east 1
were from six to ten hours late. Snow
was not to blame for tins so much as
the - inability of the locomotives to
keep steam up under the great outside
cold pressure.
The severe weather, too, was the j
cause or an unusual number of fires. (
Between 2:30 and 8:30 a. m. 130
alarms were sent in. These were all
small fires.
Coldest In Five Years.
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 5.?This
was the coldest morning in the last
live years in Connecticut.' From midnight
until 8 o'clock this morning the
official thermometer reading In this
city was 6 degrees below /.Pro. in* ^ J
land points reporieo mucn lower tem- i
peratures. the lowest among them being
Banbury, 2C. below. Traffic on
all divisions of the New York, New
Haven and Hartl'ord. was again delayed
on account of the difficulty of
making steam.
Below Zero In Pennsylvania.
Wllkesbarre, Pa., .Ian. 5.?The tem-'
perature today is the severest in many
years. At Glen Summit the thermom- j
eter was 28 degrees below; at Hill- .
Bide. 25; at Mountain Top, 29. while '
in' this city 14 below was recorded. I
A hoavy damp log accompanied the I
cold. Coal mining is seriously hampered,
and while the demand lor coal
is great and many companies have
been unable for a week to make deliveries,
the mines cannot produce the
fuel fast enough with steam and water
pipes frozen and breakers too cold
for men to work in them.
Electric System Tied Up.
Amsterdam. N. Y., Jan. 5.?The temperature
in this city this morning was
29 degrees below zero. The electric
system between this city and Glov- j
eravllle and rlchenectadv is tied un. :
Trains on the New York Central railroad
are from throe to five'hours late.
Thirty Degrees Below.
Fishkill Landing. N. IT., .Ian. 5.?At
Fishkill this morning the thermometer
registered 36 degrees below zero.
Along the Newburg hay ftedlion of the
Hudson river It registered variously
from 30 to 36 degrees below.
Lowest in 25 Years.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 5.?'f wenty-five
degrees below zero, the lowest in 20
years, was recorded here today.
Coldest Since 1899.
Youngstown, ()., .lany. 5.?The mercury
registered 10 degrees below zero
today. The coldest since 1X99, when
the thermometer dropped to 24 below.
An Unusual Case.
New York, Jan. !>.?A cas* of anthrax,
which is a malignant disease,
rare among human beings, although
common to cattle, has been discovered
et a hosnltal here. The afflicted man
supposed he had a carbuncle on the
side of hlH head, which was badly
swollen An operation for the remov- '
. al of the affected portion was quickly
performed, and it is believed the pa
tlent will recover.

UNDER A SERIOUS CHARGE.
fierce County Man Jailed Pending an
Investigation.
Ulackshuar, (Ja., Jan. 6.?John Manning.
a white man, who lives in this
county a few miles from Offerman,
Is charged with the murder of his wife,
which Is said to have occurred some
weeks ago. The story is a complicated
one, and bids fair to become
more complicated still.
Manning's wife was a Miss Rogers,
of Wayne county. The pair did not
get on well, and there were frequent
quarrels. A few weeks ago trouble
was renewed, and in the midst of it
a brother of Mannings is said to
have arrived on the scone. His
brother called to him and told him to
go for a doctor, and a lew minutes
later called to him that he need not
go, as his wife was dead.
Next day the body was interred,
but suspicions having been aroused because
of the circumstances of Mrs.
Manning's death, an inquest was ordered.
the verdict of the jury, it is
reported, being suicide.
Subsequently. Mrs. Manning's people,
being dissatisfied, had the body
exhumed, and a further inquest was
held. The jury, after investigating
the case, returned a verdict charging
murder upon the husband. It
Is reported that her nock was broken.
Manning's people, so it is said, will
liave the body re-exhumed and examined
by experts in order to establish
:liat Mrs. Manning did not die as ?
result of violence at the hands of hel
liusband.
It is charged that she died as a re- c
suit of a largo dose of strychnine. *
lakon with suicidal intent, and to es- *
.ablish that fact Manning's people I
lave had the stomach removed and c
forwarded to Chemist Payne for an- 1
llysis. . t
COAL BURNING AT SAVANNAH. 1
Efforts of Firemen to Check Flames 1
Prove Fatal. 1
Savannah. Ua., Jan. 5.?All day i
long firemen have been lighting a
great coal lire at the wharf of the 1
Herman (foal and Lumber company. 1
The lire was discovered at a o'clock t
in a vast pile of coal on the wharf. 1
It is said there were two cargoes of '
coal in the pile. its ignition is said 1
to have been due to spontaneous com- 1
bustion.
Streams of watey are being played 1
upon the lire at a late hour tonight 1
with little prospect of its being soon
quenched. The firemen have worked 1
in cold so bitter that ice has formed (
upon them. The fire chief and his
assistant have both succumbed to thd
cold. A boat underneath the wharf,
from which trie tlreinen were fight- 1
Ing the flumes, capsized, precipitating" 1
its occupants Into the icy water.

WAR CLOUDS HANG I
HEAVYJVER LAST
Russian Reply to Japan Not
Yet Received.
i
BEAR PREPARING FOR ACTION.
]
Eastern Situation Grows More Com- ,
plicated and It Seems That War Be- >
tween Japan and the Czar's Coun
try Is Inevitable. <
Tokio, Jan. 5.?Tho Russian reply i |
to Japan has not yet been received.
It is reported from Vladivostock that (
the Russian squadron there is preparing
for action.
Official dispatches t- front Tokio
to Paris late >esierd?.. evening say
the minister for foreign affairs had ^
tiot received tho Russian reply, up to
that time. The officials hero con- g
jlued from tliis tliat Viceroy Alexieff 3
s awaiting an opportune moment to
present it. No direct word had yet ^
>oeu received from St. Petersburg that
he reply had been forwarded, but f
ho unofficial reports to the effect ^
hat the answer has been made are T
:onsldered correct . .
uwing 10 me aosence or details retarding
the Russian reply the officials
lero are careful not to express an j,
>pinion as to the outcome, but the gen ral
tone of comment in official cir les
is slightly less hopeful. (
The most significant feature of the t
llspatch from Tokio is the statement ,
hat Japan is hastening final propara- t
ien for a far more extensive des- t
latch of troops to Corea than at first t
:ontemplated. The government has
iow decided to send an army of 35,- (
>00 men organized as two divisions, ,
o Corea. This is more than double c
he strength of the expedition first ,
contemplated, and requires a large (
loot of transports and extensive ar- (
angements, which are proceeding rapdlv
towards completion. t
The destination of this army is ex- ^
lectcd to be southern Corea, particu- f
arlv Fusan and Yongampho. it is *
inderstood at first, that Russia would j
lot object to the expedition, but the
magnitude of the expedition raises (
lome doubts as to whether Russia will ^
acquiesce. ,
Rumors are in circulation at Mar- ,
seillos tliat a French naval division, ]
composed of the armored cruisers Klebor,
Dissix and AdmiraltAube and the
turret ship Suffcrn is about. to receivo
orders to sail for the Far East. ,
The reports, however, cannot be con- (
tirmed here, hut there is a reason to ;
believe that the naval authorities are t
considering the disposition ol' the war- ,
ships in the event of a serious turn <
in the situation. This is due mainly j
to the present smnll French naval <
force in the Pacific, which is confined ]
to two unimportant vessels. <
FATAL EXPLOSION. I

Londou, Jan. 5.?The Corean charg

States, Great Britain, Japan and Rua
sia regarding VViju and Yongampho
will result in the opening of tlios*
ports at an early date. Russia, h<
lidded, is still opposing the opening
and a few Russian troops have occu
piod Yongampho, but ho believed th<
negotiations would terminate in a de
Msion favorable to the views ol Core?
and the powers desiring the opening
if the ports.
Corea, the charge d'affaires furthei
leclared, would never agree to Rus
jia's proposal to establish a neutra

Government Adopting Measures to lift- A \

New York, Jan. 5.?Preventative Jl
measures are being adopted by the *T
government, says a Herald dispatch
from Montevideo, Uruguay, to repress ;1
the revolutionary movement just start- . "
ed by the so-caled Nationalist party. j>
The ostensible cause of the movament
is the ptesonce of two regiments ,v
of cavalry in the department of Riv
era, which the government sent there 9
during the conflict between Uruguay
and the Brazilians along the bounder^
lino. The Nationalists, who have ft
majority in the department, say tffere 4
is no necessity for the troops to re* \[
i main longer, but the true cause seems ,
to bo the decision of the ggvernment -i
to break down the influence of Sara? I
via, a petty local chief, who enjoys '
great popularity and influence In Rlv- 1
era. i
The movement up to the present j
has been without importance, though * .1
