Wasu'.niitos, D C,Dec. 2i-A cloudy gloomy atmosphere, wit every appear ance of co-amg snow, marked the funer al day of tbe late Senator Plumb, but the weath. r v. as not more gloomy than the faces cf those that witnessed the lam ceremonies over the remains of the poplar Kansan in '.he chamber where l.ia brilliancy and untiring energy irought him into so much prominence. Quite a crowd had assembled about the business-like rjsidence at No. C12 Four teerth street, where tbe dead senator had his apartments, whence at 10 o'clock yesterday morning the remains were "taken to the capital. There were no ceremonies at the house, but the remov al was conducted in a quiet end osten tatious manner, quite in accord with the modest and simple ideas of the deceased statesman. Those who saw the little procession wend its way down Four ttenth street md thence up Pennsyl vania avenue to to tbe capitol ere un able to guess whose funeral it was only t.v the ariDearaoce of the brass-but toned capitol policemen who acted as p ill bearers, preceded by one carriage containing Mr. Valentine, the sergsact-at-arms of the senate. Flacked on either side by the police the bearse hold ing the body was driven slowly along the busy avenue filled with Christmas shoppers up Capitol IliU t3 the senate wing of the big building. Here the cof fin was taken from the hearse and car ried by the pall bearers through the dim corridors to the msrble room of the sen ate. A Young I.aily Abduc'nl. Gospoht, Ind., Dec 22. This city and vicinity isgreatly excited over the cir cumstances attending the d sappear aace of Miss Cora Allen, aged 18, mak'ng her home with her step-father, William Smith, about four miles from this place. The family retired Thursday night as usual, and in the morning the girl was found to be missing. Foul play was feared, as she had received threatening tetters saying she vould be murdered. Searching parties were sent in every direction. All of her clothing was found in her room save her night robe, bbJ the family think that she. as well as themselve?, yere chloroformed, after which she was carried off. Marshall Crouch and a deputy arrested a young vman named Withers at Stinesville, who - supposed to be connected with the fair, but nothing oan be gained from ,im. ' Yesterday morning the young lady was found in Foster's cave, tour miles from this place, iter hands an 1 feet were tied and she was nearly chilled to death. When her rescuers penetrated lha cave she attempted to hide from them, evidently fearing that her ab ductors had returned. She is in a pitiable condition, and it is feared that her mind is wrecked. Miss Allen belongs to one of the best families in this county, and is of a re tiring disposition, end a general favorite in the community. The affair lis created the most intense excitement, and if the guilty parties are found the indignation of the people will certainly vent itself in administering swift justice. Prpaatlona for War. Sa Francisco, Dec. 22, From infor mation gained here it looks as though tho reports sent out from Washington of preparations for war vnth Chile were true. Admiral Brown secured an op tionon the new and power, ul tug, Fear less, just nnisneu at uo union iron works. She hal a speed of sixteen knots and can carry coal enough to maintain ten knot per hour for fifty days.

Business is int r rupted and the money lo.'9 is serious, as the people will not venture out even to make Christmas purchases. It is im po ible to see more than a few inches in any d rection. Riil and other traffic ij greatly hindered. The tog is not only prevalent in Lmdon, b?i it extends over wiJe Becli ,ns of ti e country. It is without exemption the norst visitation th it lii:s come to England in years. Fears are entertained that if thick wtather prevniisotf the coast it will bo the cause of maty disasters to shipping, pinicularly to vessels bound up and ujnn the channel. The weather is so bud that but fe- people venture into the street, unless they ire absolutely impelled to. The siddest feature of the event is the great loss of life caused by persons losing their may and wandering into rivers, canals and ponds. Alread) seven bodies of unfortutia'.ei v ho had fallen into the river and were drowned ave been recovered. Four other men and h girl are reported missing and ere is scarcely any doubt that they enshed as the others diJ. dispetch from Leeds states that three men, while walking beside the iical, lost their way in the fo r.ud fell nto the water, and were drowned. evsr.i: people ere killed on the rail ways. It is impossible for trains to run their hedule time. Many of the trains from uburban points Uid not reach London until two hours after their regular time. Business in the city is generally uffenng because of the phenomenal density of the fog, Hnd in aome cases it is entirely suspended. Advices fro,,: points in the eastern art of Kngland show the fog is preva lent along the whole length of the east- era coast. Un the Kiver lyne Ui6 hipping iudustry is almost at. a stand still, it being deemed too dangerous to end vessels away from the warves. Trains on the Trunk line in the north )f England are greatly delayed. The itinoBphere is so tlnck that the usual ignals can hardly be seen and en- ;ineers are compelled to use the great- fit care to avoid collisions. The Scotch xprfS3 came in five hours late. Walking about the docks is danger ous, evec to those thoroughly ac- liaiuted with all the nooks and cran- Uies. luree clock constaoles have lost i,eir sense of locality, because bewil- lered, walked into the river and wore rowned. Steamers engaged in the hannel service are malting their trips, out are greatly retarded. A number of kating accidents are reported. The 'og onuses the ice to become rotten very apidly, and the result has been that uauy skaters have broken through and were drowned. The fog is a boon to the gaa com panies, hiveryuouy who uses gas hus oeen compelled to burn it all day, and anenoriaous quantity has been and is still being consumed. The gas supply at the general post-oflice foiled and for some time London's mail service was in a stale of great confusion. Hasty re quisitions ware made for lamps and candles. Two passenger trains came into col lision at Barney Juction and were bad ly damaged. One of the engine drivers, a guard and one passenger were killed, and fourteen other persons injured.

The mob was composed of fifteen or twenty-five men and was very quiet and orderly. Some twelve or fifteen shots vera tired into the prisoner.-, all of whom wern instantly killed. The mob left no clue to their identity and it in hardly possible that their names will ever be known. There is no excitement over the matter and businiss is going on as if nothing unusual had happened. lalk of ant pri-iuj;- Yalpauaiho, IAc. 20, For tho pact few days there has been a great deal f talk about an uprising of the p jpporteis of tialma .oda, and especiaMy on th -pHrt of the ofiiuers of the dead dictator V army.

Reports from Carrizo, in Seapata county, where Cap tain Hardie's troop of United States civalry is stationed, are to the effect that there is no doubt but that Garza crossed, with 000 men, between that city and Brownville. It is also stated that Garza's men met Mexican troops at Las Toriilas, several miles from the border, and defeated the latter, an J that about forty men were killed on both sides. The rejorts are doubtless au thentic, as they corne from an oflicer now on the ground.

In the trail of the ball was a long line of blue green smoke. The sight was a grand one and one that will not soon be forgotten by those who were so fortunate as to see it. rrm Th. nmlH imuic Lost, Pec. :i.-The T-degTapb" correspondent at HL Petersburg there has been an enormous fa'litig ff in the government revenues from the famine stricken provinces. Reports of merciless rep eso'-on of out lswry are continually received. The civil authorities do not depend ujhic themselves alor.e to put down lawles act, but upon the merest pretext sum mon tbe in l tary. evidently with the in tention of overaweing the peojile. Three men convicted of robbery at Slmbeeri-k were condemned to undergo puniahme -t with the knout The poor wretches, who bad probably stolen only to keep hve, died under the lash. A man detected stealing a few turnips was sentenced to penal servitude for life. When the army officers and many of the societies have given up many of tv-eir usual binquets. eto devoting the money usually so spent to the relief of the famine suJerers, the latter'sdintrtNis has not touchsd the heart's of many of the richest merchants of St. Petersburg They refuse In subscribe anything for the relief of ll e.r suffering countrymen. An illus'iation of the apathy with which appeals hae been received is the collec tion boxes plaoed about the corn ex change were f jund, when removed, to I filled with bits of paper and pie-.-eB c f tin. In numerous cases the dealer?, after receiving exhorbitent prices tor grain, sent it to me iainiue-nn provinces in bags, the contents or whieh was mostly grass, sand and bran. Corruption is widespread among the oflice-holders and they- are little affected by the sights of distress, sickuetts and eath visible on every hand. Many of the town oflicials refuse to enroll t tie starving peasants on the relief list un- ess they first jay a bribe at the rate of ten cojiects for every pound of rje given. Petitions to the provincial aswmblif s j and the government, asking thul l! i dram shops lie closed and the sale of odka, tho national drink, be forbidden, have availed nothing.
