The Climax of the Worat Winter -
ter of the Decade.
The etorm which baa iast visited
Omaha is by ell odds the worst experi
enced In this section of the country
for years , and has driven nearly every
other theme out of the public mind.
It began at 9:30 : Friday nif-ht with a
heavy Elect , accompanied by a gale
from the southeast , -the velocity of
which was thirty miles per hour , and
continued until 1 p. m. Saturday ,
when it changed to rain , which was
kept up all the afternoon and all Sat
urday night , the rain freezing aa rap
idly as it fclL The wind changed to
the east yesterday morning , and at
7:55a. m.
A HEAVX SNOW
set in , which continued all day , the
wind blowing at a uniform velocity of
twelve miles. The barometer , which
hasbsen very low for several days , re
mained nearly stationary , slowly ris
ing about C o'clock last night , when
it reaehed 29 85. The pressure has
bean very low all overTtha country for
thn past few dayg , and the barometer
did not indicate any erly change of
wt ather. The temperature which was
32 ° all di.y yesterday , rose to 36 ° last
night , while the humidity , which had
been 90 per cent all day , r < se to 95 ,
indicating a rainy night , and perhaps
two or three more moist days.
REMARKABLE RAINFALL.
The total precipitation , or amount
of sleet , rain and snow fall since 9 JO
Friday night , measured when melted
about two and one-quarter inches , or
more than three times the amount fur
the months cf December and January.
The sleet alone was 1.17 inches. The
snow of itself , had it baeii light ,
would h..vo made a uniform covering
of over twelve inches , but being as
heavy as lead , it probably averaged
in depth about five inches.
THE STORM Cf GENERAL.
Although , owing to the wires being
down , no reports were received yes
terday from the east or north , it in
probable that the storm extended over
the entire northwest , and was even
worse north t f us than here. Weath
er reports received at the Union
Pacific headquarters showed that the
fall of sleet was very heavy , all the
way neat to North Platte , beyond
nh-ch there was rain , followed by a
heavy fall of snow ana high winds.
Last evening It was snowing all the
way from Omiha to Sidney , and blow
ing terribly , piling the enow in moun
tainous drifta which threaten to seri
ously obstruct travel. Much ihe
same condition of affairs existed all
along the line to Green river. Des
Molnes , the only point e st heard
from yesterday , reported a snow storm
iu progress siuco Saturday morning.
THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW.
The sight presented yesterday WES
an unusual one in this city. The
sleet had wrapped everything in an ice
covering which measured five-eighths
of an inch in thickness. The boughs
of trees were bent down with their
weight and many breaking fell with a
crash to the ground The myriads of
telegraph and telephone wires all over
the city resembled bute ; cables of crys
tal. As the snow full it was piled in
a corncil form on wires , bougbi and
projections of all kinds , and melting ,
Ing , gradually froze again below ,
and draped the city in millions of
yards of lovely fringe , which sparkled
as if it were set with diamonds.
Streets , roofs and every flat surface
were covered deep with snow , and the
air was filled , with the soft flakes
vWhlch fell slowly , but steadily , all
day long , , mellowing the atmosphere
and muffl'ng ' sounds of every kind , as
If the doom of the world foretold by
Mother Shipton was at hand and the
earth was being wrapped in its wind
ing sheet before being hurled by the
cotnetinto its last resting place , the
fiery dep'hs of the sun. The streets ,
almost Impassable from the depth of
snow and slush , were deserted by all
who could remain in doors and wore
made more gloomy by the utter ab
sence of all kinds of vehicles and of
the street can whosa runs were aban
doned from Saturday night.
RAILROAD AND TELEGRAPH LINES.
The street raihray was entirely
blockaded by snow and ice which no
force of men could have kept clear ,
and none tried to. The network of
wires all over the city began to suffer
in the morningf Telegraph wires
went down , the lire dlarm wires were
broken in several places , and the tele
phone wires suffered more heavily
than all. Broken wires could be seen
everywhere , and forces were set to
work making repairs with the first ap
pearance of daylight. E\st aud
south all telegraph connections were
entirely cut off , while only two
wires connected Omaha with the rest
of the world. Those were by the
Western Union to Cheyenne , all oth
er wires wett being down between
Grand Island and Kearney. Last
night these two wires were kept red
hot with m'8 age , a peifect mountain
of which was piled up In the Western
Union office awaiting transmuslon
One of the two wires connected us
with Chicago via Cheyenne , Denver ,
Kansas City and St. Louis. The oth
er was used by the Union Pacific to
operate their line.
DELAY OF TRAINS.
The ttorm will no doubt delay trains
on all the roads for several days , al-
thocgh up to last evening the U. P.
freight and passenger trains were mak
ing nearly schedule time. Theoverland *
train came in on time , and Saturday's
No 3 made North Platte on time.
The Rock Island and 0. , B. & Q
trains yesterday morning were nearly
on time , but the Northwestern came
in four hours late , and n.quired the
strength of two locomotives from
Dtmlap to the Union Pacific transfer.
This delayed the west-bound Union
Pacific train about two hours , as the
Northwestern had 247 sacks ef
Australian mall which she had
to wait for. She finally left
with nine loaded cars drawn bv en
gines " 75" and " 216" as far as the
summit. The storm west naturally
would not affect trains much before
to-day , as the snow did not begin to
drift heavily till last evening.
DAMAGE TO ROOFS.
The tremendous weight of the snow
and sleet caused general alarm for the
safety of roofs and wooden awnings ,
and laborers were an demand early to
clear them of. It is said that several
firms paid $2 an hour to shovelers.
In many places , especially on Tenth
street , the sheds were propped up for
safety , as they were bending percept- !
. bly beneath their weight. The only
t t fell during the day was that
o aster's paint shop , a large two-
at uilding , belonging to A. N.
Bamsay , and situated just to the roar
of hi * ' livery stable. It was a total
wreck , but caused no other damage.
FLOODING CELLARS.
The water got in its work In many
places. The basement of the State
biuk was flooded several inches deep.
The water broke itirough the roof of
the Western Union office Saturday
night and nearly deluged the boys.
The basement of Rev. W. J.
Harsha's residence was flooded and
was so threatening as to prevent his
preaching a : usual yesterday morning.
The now block owned y McCaffrey
Bros. , on Dodge near Sixteenth , was
moistened. A break in the tin roof
flooded Hoapo's art store and did con
siderable damage.
From an elevated position men
could be seen at work with brooms
and snow shovels on roofs everywhere ,
indicating a considerable elevation in
the plane of labor in this city.
INJURY TO PERSONS.
But one casualty was reported , a
man in this instance being knocked
down by a fnliing bongh , as he passed
along the sidewalk In front of Mr. H.
E. Fosdyke'a residence , on North
Seventeenth street. Of course a
great many were ducked by slipsfalls
nnd mis-steps during the day and
evening.
MORE MOISTURE.
As stated above , the fact that the
wires were all do nso that no reports
could bo received from other points ,
rmde it difficult to predict last night
what the weather would be in the
next few days , but the low barometer ,
rising thermometer and deme humid
ity of the atmosphere gave premise of
no immediate- change , butoftwc * *
three moist days to come.
WHAT TICE SAYS.
Prof. Tice seems to have hit the
nail on the head for once , his predic
tions being from February 2nd to 7th
'cloudy , threatening weather with
hervy snow storm. His predictions
for the remainder of the month will
be interesting in this connection , and
nrj as follows : On the 8th and 9th ,
clear aud fair ; 10th to 12 , cloudy ,
threatening weather , with rain or
snow ; 13th to 14th , clear or fair ; 15th
to 18 , clouding , threatening weather ,
with heavy rain or snow ; 18th and
20th , clear or fair ; 21st to 24tir ,
clouding , threatening weather , with
heavy rain or snow storms ; 25th snd
26th , clear or fair and quite cold if
heavy storms have occurrej ; 26th to
28th , clouding , threatening weather ,
with rain or snow storms The com
paratively warmer dijs will be aboot
the 4th , 10th , 19th , 22d and 28th.
The comparatively colder days will be
about the 1st , 7th , 13th , 17th and
25th. Earthquakes , in earthquake
countries , will occur about the 1st ,
8th , 10th , 16th and 25th. As auroras
will be on the increase this year , they
trill probably be visible about the 1st ,
7th , 13th , 19th and 25th.
THE CATTLE.
News received irom North Platte
last night was to the effect that the
storm there was the severest of the
season. The sleet had frozen a crust
so thick that the cattle could
not get at the grass , and it was likely
that stock would suffer considerably ,
though not so much a ? In 1878. Cat
tle about North Platte are reported to
be in pretty good condition , though
wrst qf Ogallala they have suffered se
verely.

A Toothsome Item.
The man who makes a ragged patch
of dead and decaying underbrush give
way to a perfect park , is the counter
part to a dentist of the present day ,
who converts a howling wilderness
of blackened snags breeding fowl
breath animalculal and disease Into
a handsome and wholesome mouth ,
filled with clean shapely and beautiful
teeth.
In this connection we taVe pleasure
in calling attention to the fact thit
Dr. A. P. Johnson , in Jacibs' block ,
has the latest and best improvements
in dentistry and alee has a most con
venient and elegant office
with mechanic il and operating rooms
adjoining. The terror of tooth-pull
ing deters many a sufferer from hav
ing tooth wrecks removed , but here
nitrous cxido is administered , and
during a period of complete insensi
bility the drawing is done , and the
patient awakens and is astonished to
find that the work is complete. In
mechanical dentistry the young man
who is fresh from his studies knows
vastly mora in regard to the proper
methods for replacing decay and mak
ing artiicial dentures than the old
fogies who boast their years of expo-
years of experience , but have neglect
ed to keep paca with the astonishing
improvements that have been made.
Dr. Johnston's large and rapidly in

A SERIOUS BLAZE , -
Ohief Engineer Qalligan Accuses
C. B , De Great & Co , ,
With Arson ,
On Saturday evening last Chief En
gineer J. J. Galllgau made affidavit
before Judge Hawes , of the police
court , chirging J. L Herrlck , Charles
De Great , Bsnjamin S. De Great and
William Krolle with having set fire to
the hat store occupied by 0. B. De
Grout & Co. , which was burned on the
night of the 12th of December , 1880.
It has been a matter of general talk
since the fire In question that there
were suspicious circumstances con
nected with the casualty. On the
morning after the fire our reporter
talked with a prominent insurance
man of this state , who was in the city
yesterday , and tha gentleman admitted
that facts looked bad for the De
Greats , but said for certain reasons ,
which ho gave , the company pre
ferred to pay the loss unjnatly charg-
able to thorn rather than contest it.
There has bueu more or leas suspicion
attached to the firm ever since , and
their recent trouble in attempting to
leave the city dit not lessen it. The
brothers are now in Florida and the
only defendants to the affidavit filed
by Chief Galligan , ere Messrs. Krelle
and Herrlck , who were connected with
the firm iu the capacity of clerks.
Judge Hawes issued warrants for
thu parties , and about 5 o'clock yes
terday morning \Villiam Krelle was
arreated by Officer Gorman. He gave
bail without trouble , and was Immedi
ately releaied. Later in the forenoon
J. L. Herrick was arrested at a jew
eler's on Tenth and Douglas street.
Ho had nut given bsil up to a late
hour last evening. Sheriff Guy sent
telegrams to various points to inter
cept aud , if possible , arrest the De
Great brothers. The ttato claims to
have a good case against the accused ,
but of course they will have to de
pend upon circumstantial evidence
unless , sho'ild the charge be well
grounded , one of the number should
turn states evidence.
