THE GENERAL SNOW BLOCKADE Charges Against LclghUm In the In- HUI AIICO Suits .Ne otliuhiK ft Transfer of the Nail AVorls : Notes. A Broken I2 A most.sensational and spicy suit was started in Justice Weiss' court ycstcrdaj under the innocent title of Sylvester V Lobe vs. II. J. Davenport , an action in replevin. The story attached to this suit is as follows : Some months ngo there came to this city a gentleman , some -t. * > or iiO years ol age , whose card bore the name of S. V. Lobe. He hailed from California. Noth ing was known as to his antecedents , ex cept by one or two ot his intimate friends. Ho engaged in business licre and pros pered fairly. Mr. Lobe became acquainted wilh a lady engaged in the dress-making busi ness on St. Mary's avenue , whose name is for the present withhold. She was a very accomplished , ( jtiile charming laily , and Air. Lobe fell straight way in love with her. He breathed into her ear the soft talc of af fection. _ She listened to him and re ceived his advances witli favor. lor a time all went smoothly. The wedding- day was fixed as January 1 , 18SO , and au preparations were made for the event. Air. Lobe even went so far sis to speak lo Justice Weiss , engaging him to tic the knot. Suddenly thedemeanorof ( he lady towards her lover changed entirely. She groweolilasan icenerg.and refused to have anything further to do with him. She declared that she would not , under any circumstances , marry him. She made un her mind to leave Omaha and sent Mr. Lobe the following letter : "I am sorry , indeed , to go away , but L believe yon are ( ired of inc. So'1 leave you. Albert can explain to you more fully .Farewell to you. May the great Goil make yon happy. Don't try to iind me. Let me rest in peace. This has been a cold and cruel world to me. There is no happiness for me , nothing but trials and misfortunes have overtaken me in all 1 have attempted to do in life so I yield to my fate , hoping and know ing it cannot last long , for life is nearly worn out. Oh , how I loiigcd to be at rest. Had I married you I would have exerted all my human power to make you happy , lint as it is not to be so , I must submit. I do hot know where 1 shall go , but I cannot stay in Omaha. So farewell again. Yoiir most unhappy friend , C. A. L. This letter received a few days since was the lirM intimation that Mr. Lobe had of her intention of givin < r him tip and he was very much disgusted over the turn a flairs had taken. The lady really left the city , but changed her mind and returned to Oma ha. She collided to her intimate friends that the H-HSOU she had made up her mind to jilt Mr. Lobe was that she had discovered that he another wife Jiving in California from whom lie had never pro cured a divorce. She never made this statement , however , to Mr. Lobe. That gentleman had made his fiance a large number of presents , and these ho determined to get back. Replevin pro ceedings were to-day instituted in Justice. Weiss' court to secure possession of a diamond ring , ones grey colored silk tlress , one blue cashmere drcs.s , lot of I H' ' muslin underwear and cull's , one pair of cull' buttons and one pair of shoes. H'I' I' The writ of replevin has been placed in the hands of Constable Kdgar- ton , who will servo it to-day rr The diamond ring is in possession of the lady's lawyer , Mr. II. J. Daven port. port.Mr. . Lobe is at present out of town , and will not return for several days. His friends deny emphatically that he has an other wife living. They claim that the lady has been inducing Lobe to buy presents for her to the amount of if'300 or ifiJOO , anil then became angry because ho declined to buy her a set of jewelry costing - , ing $ r > ( > 0 or more This , it is claimed , is tlie real reason of her determination to iilt him. The trial , the date of which has not yet been fixed , will doubtless bring about tome spicy developments The llll//ai-il. Although no great amount of snow fell through Sunday night , yesterday morning found the streets almost blockaded by the heavy drifts which the high gale pre vailing had caused. The street cars were unable to run at all , and few vehicles were out. No snow fell during the day , but the high wind kept the air filled with line and hard-driven grail , which blinded the pedestrian who faced it and at times shut out all view a block distant. The street car company had a force of sev enty-five men and four plows at work al day , and hope to start the cars running again this morning. The rate of the wind , as learned from tlio signal service olllcer , was about thirty-live miles an hour. This is a con siderably higher rate than ordinary. The average speed of the wind is only about fifteen or twenty miles. On the Union Pacific bridge the gale was blowing at a speed of about lorty or llfly miles an hour. The actual snowfall , so far as shown by th signal gauge , is but four and a half inches , llio fact that largo drifts have been formed in places by tlio action of the wind , makes the depth ap pear greater than this. Hut appearances are sometimes deceptive. TKI.KlJItAl'lI ANI > POSTAL SKKVICK. Railway tralliois seriously imnaired and the telegraph service was crippled almost beyond use. The press dispatches and all messages from the east by the West ern Union came and went via Kansas City and St. Joseph , The Pacific tele graph company was utterly stalled and transacted no business whatever. All lines through Iowa in the local olllccs of the eastern roads were in bad shape and it was almost impossible to learn of the trains. The postofllco is of course handling but little mail , 'Postmaster Coutant reports that the "slack-up" is enabling him to move out a large amount of business which has accumulated , As soon as thu blockade is raised , everything will bo cleared up , so that the rush of mail mat- lor can be easily handled. The city car riers yesterday had a hard time of it , but maiu'ged ' to flounder through the drifts seas as to deliver all mall which came into the ollico. The western railway mail service is badly crippled. Chief Clerk ( Jrillln reported yesterday that most of his best men were on the snow bound trains. Ho could not toll when the service would bo abe | to get into shape again. TIIKTIIAINS. The snow and bHz/anls made sad havoc with the trains yesterday. In the local yards very little freight was handled , ilnspilo the fact that large gangs of men were at work all day cleaning oil'tho tracks. The western limit of the storm is at North Platte on Iho Union Pacific , and jMuCook on thu Burlington & Missouri , No. 3 passenger of the Union Paoilio came in with two locomotives yesterday morning an hour and a half lute. The wcsj bound train left one hour behind , while the evening "overland" came in close nn time. On thu Omaha A Republican Y lloy below Valparaiso the train is stuck. On the Kansas division things arc almost at a standstill A regular blizzard lias playei over the state for the pa t four days am the trains are struggling with from two to live locomotives each through grea banks of snow. The western division are all clear. On the whole the Unioi Pacific lias done exceedingly well so fa In keeping their tracks open for traflic Tlie "overland" train left an hour and a half late , delayed bj * connections. The Burlington it Missouri is in a worse fix. The train which left hero yes terday morning , west bound , at 8 o'clock in the afternoon was reported hopelessly stuck near Ashland.

The Kansas Lit } train of the Kansas City , St. Joseph A , Council Hind's , due here last evening was reported hopelessly snowed in al tome point in Missouri. The Missouri Paeilic trains yrMcrday after battling through endless drifts cami in from three to six hours late. On the C. St. 1' . M. & O the morning departure left wilh two locomotives at t ) : ! .

The same remark applies to tlio train due hero last night. No trains went out in the evening. The condition of the wires is so bad that few facts can bo obtained. Tlie eastern trains came in last night from one to two or three bourn , except the Milwaukee which arrived about eight hours behind schedule time. The Sioux City trains arrived about two hours late.

The trial of the now celebrated Leighton - ton & Clarke insurance Miit.s was com menced yesterday in the United States court. The forenoon was occupied by the statements of the case from both sides. sides.Whun Whun Hon. J. AV. Savage , counsel for the insurance companies , made a presen tation of his side , the. utmost attention greeted his words , and as he progressed a profound sensation was created in the court room. Mr. Savage proceeded lo lay down the premises upon which his clients based their action , and in unsparing terms declared his suspicion of double dealing on the part of tlie drug linn. It is only fair lo say that he excepted Mr. Clarke from his charges and laid the whole re sponsibility with Mr. Charles M.Leigh- ton , then the senior member of the firm. Mr. Savage opened with the statement that Leighton had made false statements in tlie representation of his loss in the fire of August 1st , 18HI , which is the wellspring - spring of all the litigation ; that underestimates - estimates of the salvage had been made and that to this end part of the stock had been designedly .secreted. lie charged specifically that 1US pounds of opium , worth $ l.fiO per munillnd / a lot ' 01 qui nine , not less in value than $1,000 , as well as olhcr items of stock had been se cretly taken from the salvage and shipped to Lincoln whore they remained until af ter the adjustment , when they were re turned. He accused Lcighton of having personally sunerviscd and guided this transaction. Further lie stated that il would be proven that ( lie clerks had garbled the figures of the cost book and called oil' amounts larger than was really in the account. He said as well that ho was in possession of ample evidence that a large quantity of high- priced drugs , and chemicals , amounting lo "thousands upon thousands" of dollars in worth had been secreted under piles of rubbish and counted with the loss by lire. Mr. Savage denounces the position of the firm tis one of fraudu lent assumption , and cited many other irregularities which he claimed would be proven in tlio evidence. The attorneys for the drug firm in their statement denied these charges and sub stantially accused the insurance com panies' of attempting to evade the in demnity to the payment of which they were engaged. TJ11NAIMVOKKS. : . COP Their Transfer iiK Steel NallH. It is no secret that' negotiations are on foot for the transfer of the Omaha Nail factory to Mr. G.T. Walker , a gentleman now connected with the nailworks in San Francisco. Mr. Walker has been in Omaha for the past week , looking over the situation , and in all probability the bargain will be concluded , A reporter In conversation with Mr. James Creighton yesterday , learned that the price of the factory , including ground , entire plant , etc. , had been fi.xed at $50- 000. "As to whether Mr. Walker will ac cept this oiler , " concluded Mr. C. , "I : an not say. I would prefer that you see ilm , and he may tell you something fur ther about Ins plans. " Mr. Walker is still in the city but could lot be seen by the reporter , lie will irobably remain here until the negotia- .ions are closed , He is engaged , it is un- lorstood , in trying to form a block com pany to take hold ot tjnj works. Tlio nailworks which in J8S5 , manufac- ureil 'JO.OOO ' kegs of nails and gave em- iloyment to IL'S men , are now ( iloscd iud t is probable.as already htatcd in these col- nuns that if they are reopened , it will be 'or the exclusive manufacture of steel mils , The change from iron to steel in nany articles ol'eomjnbn use has created " a demand for sluel . nnils. In several of he great establishment' ' of the cast , large sums of money have been invested in ihanging nailworks , formerly useii for laudling iron , so that steel nails can be uanufaeture.d. A prpcess has lately been ntroduecd by which old steel rails , of which there is now a largo accumulation , are heated and rolled into suitable plates for the manufacture of steel nails. This iroeess is said to have several points of ad vantage , the principal one being that the lalts ( lilts mAde are tougher aud the lead is not nearly so liable lo break oil' , The surface of the nail Is not so smooth is by the older process and the nail has thus a greater holding power. The Omaha nail-works were built for ho purpose of utilizing old iron rails and scrap iron , and is equally adapted , il is said , to utili/.ing old steel rails and steel 'serai ) . " The practice of "breaking lown" the larger piles of metal weigh- ng from twelve to fourteen hundred luiiinls eachrolling tlm.se piles , while it a welding hunt , to a slab , which is then cut up into nieces , to bu rolled down to he required thickness for division into rails , is thu proper method of nuiking a irst-class nail , and it is Ihu process prac tically in use at the Omaha factory. It is claimed by those familiar with tlie con- structloji of these works that but few thanges in the furnaces or machinery will uu required lo unablu the factory to uaUoctccl nails. WOIIK FOU YOL'NO MI3X. Something About tlio "V. M. O. A. The New Iluildliig. "For how many young men has your association in Omaha found employment during the year 188-V asked a reporter for the HUB of Secretary Joplin , of the Y.M.C. A. yesterday. "We have procured employment , tem porary and permanent , for about fifty young men , " was the reply. "Most of these young men came to town lotal strangers and friciullc" ) . They applied to the V. M. C. A. , anil were found posi tions as fast a possible. \ \ c take the address and reference of each one , and no far as possible lltul out what kind of a reputation he has borne , his education , qualifications , etc. Then we are in a position to determine for what kind of work he is best fitted. There is an em ployment committee which makes a business of looking up .situation * for those that are out ofork. . During the year ISSo we have procured .situations for twice as many young men as for the year preceding , "During thn past year wo have hold 200 meetings in the room here and twelve socials- , exclusive of the Now Year's re ception. Resides this wo have held fifty- two meetings at the jail and have accom plished a good work in that Held. Hardly a Sunday parses but some of the prisoners - ers ask lor prayor.s and some of them have eonmlelely changed llieir lives , through 1110 influence of association work. "Our reading room is visited by about 123 young men daily. Many come here to read and pass the day who would otherwise bo hanging aboul tlio saloons and low resorts ol the city. Yes , the reading room is pretty well stocked. We have seventy-live periodicals , most of them regularly subscribed for by the asso ciation nt reduced rates. The library con tains about eight hundred and ninety or nine hundred volumes. Any mem ber is privileged 10 carry away books , and outsiders are allowed to come here and read them. Another branch of the \vork for young men lies in the gymna sium. Wo have a pretty well equipped gymnasium , though wo hope to have a better lot of apparatus before long. Our stock includes two horix.onlal bars , par- allej bars , rowing machine , lieallii lift , Indian clubs , dumb-bells , boxing gloves , etc. , etc. " Secretary Joplin , in reply to further questioning , stated that about .f.'a.OW ) had been already subscribed for the new build ing which is to be creeled on Iho corner of Sixteenth and Douglas streets. Mr. lilack , of Chicago , from whom the lot is to be purchased , is in the city con cluding arrangements for ihe Iransfcr of the title. The price to bo paid is $ ' . ' 3.000 , with $7,000 down and the balance in three annual payments. Work will be com menccd upon the foundation early in the spring. OLD TIM 1-2 HIJ/.XAUDS. KcnilnisciMioos of tlie Pioneers A Siiililcn Change. "This is the only climate in the world , " said Councilman Goodrich , to a , reporter yesterday who had just struggled out of a snowdrift , "where yon are liable lo have Ihe weather of Italy and Siberia in onu day. " "In one day ? " "Yes. You talk about this being hard weather. Why , this isn't anything com- with what we have had. I remember one day in the winter of ISOIM. It had been warm and pleasant all day , just as balmy , in fact , as any day in May or Juno. 'Peo ple had thrown their houses open , and were sitting out on the porches enjoying Lhe cool and refreshing breezes. Sixteenth street was thronged with the vehicles of those out for a pleas ure drive. Suddenly , in the twinkling of an eye , almost , there came a change. A line snow commenced to fall and a breeze sprang rp. This gathered force , until it became a heavy wind , and finally a bliz- , /ard. The thermometer fell -10 ° or 50s In an hour or so. Everybody was taken by surprise , and many who were out driving were compelled to seek shelter in the nearest barn or house.where they were shut up for twenty-four hours waiting for a change. No , sir , Ihero was no ven turing outside , because no one would have been able to find his way through tlio blinding storm. Gradually tlio blizzard subsided , the thermometer rose higher and higher , and we enjoyed anoth er spoil of warm weather , 'that was tlie most sudden change of weather , I guess , that Omaha has over known. I remem ber that Sunday night the chimney of Iho buildingnow occupied by the "Fair" near Ihe opera house look lire. An alarm was sounded , but nobody responded. The proprietor of Ihe shop seized a piece of zinc , climbed uiioii the roof and clapped the zinc upon tlio top of the chimney , lie stayed up there and succeeded in smothering the fire. Hut before ho could reach the ground again , his cars ami fin gers were frozen like chunks of ice. " "Now , you understand , " he concluded , "why Omaha has aclimate which is liable to furnish the weather of Siberia and the weal her of Italy , alj in one day. " "The winter of ISriO , " spoke up another old settler who happened to be present , "was probably the most severe know hereabouts- . The cold then was something terrible. For days at a time it was not safe to venlnre out of flic imise , and many who faced the hll/.zards Dorishcd. As long as wo don't have a epetition of thai winter we can thank Mir stars , and consider ourselves mighty ucky. " _ TALKS. . WITH TltAVKMHtS.

'The storm , which appears to extend pretty much all over Nebraska , " said a prominent cattleman to n reporter yes terday , "will play sail havoc with Iho cattle , if it iskeut up many days longer. The cattle on Iho ranges drift" with the storm and soon perish for want of food and hclter. I have known heavy storms to kill off onc'third or even one-half of largo herds. Of course , where cattle ate properly housed and fed , there is no danger to be apprehended Irani a heavy blizzard , no matter of what duration. 1 do not think , however , that the herds will suffer greatly from the present storm , because from present appearances it will nol last more than a day or two longer.
