CALIFORNIA SNOWS, A PEGly IS WHERE WHOLETOWNS ( HAVE BEEN BURIED. • »ii- Winter of 1MUW In riainan County l•|>l•»l•l» (lad to AVear Knowihnm ai I Well U> the Men A Kemarkabl* Stnte. HE popular Im pression of Califor nia is a region ol * perennial summer, where the orange, iig, lemon and pomegranate flour ish and flowers Idoom the year around; hut this is f true only of the lowland counties, *ays the New York Post. California is a remarkable state. Home of its coun ties art as large as many states and as barren as some very poor ones. While California is famous as being I lie land of flowers and for its mild winters, it Is also the land of extraor dinary snowstorms, which may he seen uuuer luany and varying conditioiiH. Perhaps the most attractive exhibitions L are seen in southern (’allfornla, where from the San Gabriel valley one can watch the snow falling In the moun tains while standing in the orange groves, surrounded by flowers and all the conditions of summer. The moun tains are then covered with snow down to the 2,500-foot level, and the dwell ers in the valleys go up the trails and the mountain railroad and, bringing down huge snowballs and snow men, deposit them In the fields of wild flow ers, effecting the change in fifteen or twenty minutes, to the wonder of the tourists. The winter of 1890 was one that will 'tong be remembered In Plumas county. In the town of Quincy the snow was nine feet deep on the level without drifting, and where it drifted it was heaped up in literal snow mountains. It so happened that a man from the east was obliged to go to a town named Eureka Mills on some business of Im portance and after some difficulty ob tained a guide who would take him over the mountains. Their horses wore snowsboes as well as the men, and some of the snow they passed over, judging from the trees, must have been , forty or more feet deep. The supposed locality of the Mills was Anally I ===^-==== reached. The range of hills near whicl ihe town stood was there, but the tov. t was. to all intents and purposes, wlpei out. Finally smoke was seen rising from the snow, which, when ap proathed, was found to come from : spliced < hlmney, far below which wa* ! a house; as the snow had fallen th< occupants had spliced the chimney keeping pate with the deposit. Moving around the chimney, th< strangers found a chute leading dow at an angle of 45 degrees and enterin slid down to what proved to be the at tic window of the house, thence mak Ing their way down the stairs into th hurled residence. The entire settle ment was fiurled under this terrlbl bed of snow and families were IIvinp from ten to twenty feet below the sur face, using lamps by day as well a by night. The men were all miners and as the mines were under grount certain work was continued. Hut there was much suffering, as on coming ou of the mines some of the men were of ten unable to find their homes. Fin ally every one planted In the snow over his house a flagstaff with a flag, hut even these were sometimes burled by the constant storms of this long-to be-rememitered year. The snow In the deen cnnvonu became so deep that the miners who lived in them had to leave, fearing the avalanches which came rushing down the mountain side after] every fresh storm. Finally the more open canyons became unsafe and one day, with an appalling roar, huge masses of snow went rushing down, crushing a large part of the town of Sierra City, Possibly the most famotts town for Its experiences with snow Is Glbbons vllle, In Sierra county. Photographs show the tops of tall houses projecting from snow on the level. Snow fifteen feet on the level is common there In February and March, while snow thirty feet, deep Is uncommon. Then the houses are almost covered, many small ones being entirely concealed, the own ers having to climb up and clear away the snow so that It will not crush In the roofs. All communication with the outside world is often stopped for days, and for weeks the mall is carried by specially selected men, who traverse the mountain on snowshoes, often ac complishing remarkable feats on the long, slender skis which they use. The number of public lamps lighted In Kngland and Wales is somewhere about 300,000. GIANT REDWOODS OF CALIFORNIA.

A FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE IN OKLAHOMA. The Town of ('haid'er Completely Wiped Oat — The Head Number More than Fifty—A Night of Indescribable Terror to the Kesidente of that Territory. Ravages of the Kleuiente. OtJTHRiK, Ok la., April 1.—A tor nado swept through the very center of Chandler, a thriving town of 1,500 people, about 0 o'clock last night, causing the deaths of at least 30 and possibly 50 people, and injuries to about 125 others, wrecking the best business houses and generally laying waste the place. Fires broke out in various places in the debris and it is feared that many of the victims of the wind were burned to ashes before the succeeding heavy rainfall quenched the dames. Twenty-three dead bodies had been recovered from the debris tills morn ing, and as many are unaccounted for *v an tcoicu bilUb VII'' uravn linv wm aft grcgate fifty, while at least a dozen of the Injured will undoubtedly succumb. In one wrecked building five injured people were burned to death, and at another place the charred bodies of three children were Recovered. Twanty-Thrae I Iodic. Found.

A Night of Deep Misery, Only two buildings in the town were not damaged—the Mitchell hotel and the Hock Island store. Fully three fourths of the structures were de stroyed, causing losses placed at hun dreds of thousands of dollars. The night in Chandler was fine of in describable terror. With many of its inhabitants dead or dying, and the re mainder too badly injured or unable from fright or because of the darkness to render assistance no order pre vailed, Itain poured down in a tor rent. The injured in many cases un availingly cried for help and lay in the wrecks of their homes till daylight made it possible for them to help them selves, or when aid from surrounding towns arrived. The fires in many of the wrecks burned themselves out, and several were still smouldering when morning broke. The heavy rain, however, quenched many of the fires. No Warning to the People. The tornado struck Chandler with out warning about ii o'clock last even ing, and its work of carnage began be fore the inhabitants realized what was upon them, and hardly any means of escape was left open. Tearing through the business district, stores were hurled right and left, lifted high into the air and tossed in every direction. The court house, in which Chief Jus tice Hale was holding court, was taken off its foundation and the building nearly crushed. Passing on into the residence district, the wind swept away dwelling after dwelling, and rushing into the open country finally spent itself. The trail the storm left was one of wreck and ruin most complete. Houses rested on their tops and streets were made unrecognizable by ' having been piled high with debris. Then eaine the tires from overturned stoves, and final ly the downpour of ruin.

DISASTER IN SIGHT. IliindretU of Southern To win nml Vi • Ihkm I'nil^r Water. Grruviui, Mis*., April 1.—There are now four breaks on the Mississippi front, hourly pouring their devastat ing torrents into this fertile valley, anil the entire Yazoo-Mississippi delta from Australia landing south to Vicks btVg will be overflowed. Places never affected in former years will be under water in two days. Thousand* of live stock are drown ing. and in some instances the fleeing people have close calls foi their lives. Thousands of flood bound people were caught between the three Holiver county breaks, and no communication can be had with them. Kefugees com ing into the city from the country this side of the Mound break report many families in peril on the other side of the crevasse, as there is only seven miles of country between them and Stead's, and it is next to impossible for all to escape. Two hundred and fifty towns and villages will be under water in three days, and thousand.* upon thousands of families will be homeless. Every lake and stream is filled with bodies of drowned animals, many thousand* of horses, mule* and cattle having been swept away. Natchez, Miss., April 1. The critical time with the levees in this locality is now coining rapidly. For the last two weeks the water lias loicn r sing steadily at the rate of half a foot daily, until the stage now is 40.55, two and one-half feet above the danger line. The water is over the banks all along the Louisiana front anil is com ing up high against the levees.

Little Left Hut Ruins. Guthkie, Okla., April 3.—The total death list so far at Chandler from Tuesday's tornado is twelve and it is now believed that no more bodies will be found in the ruins. The dead were buried yesterday afternoon. The in jured are generally doing well and it is possible that none of them will suc cumb. Tlie only building in Chandler upon which there was tornado insurance was the court house, which was In sured /or $1,000. There woulu have been great suffer ing at Chandler had the weather been inclement, as no definite plan of relief was enforced until yesterday after noon, ft seeming impossible for the puople to thoroughly organi/.o them selves. The Injured and dead were cared for, but it was the work of a few. There was no bureau of infor mation and those trying to restore order were scattered. A relief corps of Guthrie women reached Chandler yesterday afternoon and did much to sy»temi/.e the nursing of tlie injured. Money is being sent from ail parts of the territory and surrounding states. The cash gifts from Guthrie reached $2,000 this morning. Men digging in the ruins of the Colburn building this morning found the blackened bones of what the sur geons said was a cqild. No one, how ever, had reported a child missing. Nearly 200 business buildings and residences were wrecked. Some of the larger losses are: William Npil iwrigrr, u.iimm uimnimiTiniiicr, 9J,u<JU; the court house, 81,000; N. O.

Many others lost everything and will be unable to replace their buildings. The Mitchell hotel was so badly shattered that it was considered unsafe and was vacated to-day. It was the only hotel left standing und had been crowded sinoe the tornado. The question of whether the town shall be rebuilt upon its present site is being discussed. There are absolutely no facilities for the transaction of or dinary business, and everything is at a standstill. Many persons fear to re build on the hill. The tornado played strange freaks witli women's clothing. All of the clothing of one woman who was caught on the street, except the underwear, was stripped off. There wore several instances where every stitch of eloth imr I,>>•„ f , I... j women. ANTI-TARIFF PROTESTS. •fupan and Argentine Republic Knter Formal Objection to the Illnglcy Hill.

Pour of the “Hutton Hang" Pay the Pen alty for Murder*. Santa Fk, N. M.. April S.—Fran cisco Gonzales y Borrego, Antonio Gonzales y Borrego, Sauriano Alarid and I’atricio Valencia, condemned to death for the murder of ex-Shcriff Frank Chavez, who was killed from ambush on the night of May 29, 1893, were hanged together on one scaffold at 9:10 o'clock this morning. The four men were perfectly stolid at the close. There was no sign of disturbance, the authorities having taken extra precautions and militia being stationed about the jail. The four men were members of the executive committee of what was known as the "Button Gang," a league organized to combat the political in fluence of Chavez, Who was a Demo cratic leader in Santa Fe. On the night of May 29, 1892, Chavez, was waa a giant in strength and absolutely fearless, was assassinated while on his way home. The next night Juan I’ob lo Dominguez, who openly declared that he knew who murdered Chavez, was shot and killed. For this crime Francisco Borrego, who had been seen fleeing from the scene of the murder, gave himself up, pleaded self defense and was acquitted. For twelve months thfl •‘irn.nrr.” rontmlUrl I. tk,. police department and the sheriff's of tice was supreme in Santa Fe and no attempt was made to avenge the Chavez murder. When Governor Thorn ton was appointed in 18413 he removed District Attorney Twitchell and Sher iff < onklin from office, and the new sheriff began hunting for evidence against the murderers of Chaves and soon obtained confessions from two of the conspirators. Francisco and An tonio Horrego, Lauriano Alarid, Pat ricio Valencia and Frank Rivera were arrested and Hyppolyty Vigil, chief of police und coroner was shot dead while resisting arrest. At the trial Rivera, Louis Gonzales and other minor members of the "gang” turned state's evidence and the two Borrego's. Alarid and Valencia were convicted o( murder in the first degree and sen tenced to be hanged. The case was appealed on a writ of error to the United States supreme court, which' finally decided against the murderers. Pending tiie hearing of the supreme court, Alarid and Valencia confessed. The murderers were to have been bunged February S3, but President Cleveland granted a respite for thirty days.Then President McKinley granted a further respite until to-dav. Yester day he refused to interfere any further und so telegraphed to Governor Thornton. Numerous plots for the rescue of the prisoners were thwarted by the vigi lance of the territorial authorities, and a military guard was stationed at the jail for some time under orders from Governor Thornton. FARMERS’ TRUST. One living Organized to Control the I’roducts of the doll. Toi.kdo, Ohio, April 3.—-A gigantic farmers' trust is now being organized in this country. One of the national organizers, registering as P. F.

It is the purpose to do nothing this year in the way of con trolling the markets, because the or gan izacion is not yet complete. Next year, lioweve., the crops will be lim ited to the actual living needs of the members of the organization. If the plan is carried out, not a dollar's worth of farm produce of any kind will he sold for general consumption.
