THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : THURSDAY , NOVEMBER 18 , 1880. BLASTS FROM BOREAS With Heaps of Snow Take Possession of the City , SCENES OF THE GREAT STORM. Dentil of James II. CrclRliton Clmn- qcs In the Pootofllco Clean- IIIR n Chimney Ilnrst- in n Holler , Ktu. The Wrntlier. Oltl settlers h.ivo for yuan back boon ivout to lnduljo In lurid descriptions of tlio weather tn Omaliaof thcearlier days , its rain and lic.it , and dust and mud ami bli//anh. Contrasting It with that of the o latter days , they have not failed to make their comparison favorable to the present , and enumerate the advantages that wo , of these degenerate days , enjoy in I lie blnndncis of the Mill' * ) smiles and the mildness with wliieh the blastof winter assail our woll-clatl frames. Hut if any of the old sot- tleis were out Toe day night , andforlhoir own sake it is to ho hoped they were not , they might easily have di eovcred that the rigors of the past hail not boon swal lowed in tin ) whirlpool ot oblivion. The snow continued to fall with unre mitting assiduity , until cloven o'clork. Half u do/.on hours before that , the streets hud become almost impassible to vehic les. The street railway tracks refuiod to uncover beneath the snow-plow. People who never ride in the cars thronged them to suffocation , and , as if in resentment , in a number of instuncc t tin * cars or hordes refused to afford them the ride they sought. At 0 o'clock eight cars , more or Jess , under the inlluencc of the weather , could have been seen at the corner of Farnam and Fifteenth streets , and they got nway Irom there only by means of unloading and the junction of efforts on the niirt of both men ilml boasts. A little later eleven cars wore cuutilit on the track common to both the Eighteenth and Twentieth street lines and reined from duty for the night. Soon after , all the lines were abandoned and night settled down nixm n city at the mercy of snow , wind and piercing blasts from the north. Stores were closed , streets were deserted , the only places remaining open being the saloons , theatres and Jones' revival , and these did but a frigid business. When tlio snow hail ceased falling , the wind from the north came down with a ve locity of forty miles , and fash ioned the snow in drifts upon the street in shapes humorous , fantastic and mournful. In some parts the thoroughfares seemed like sections of a national cemetery with thousands of mounds above patriotic souls , covered with the mantle of purity and silence. . From the roof of every building count less billions of particles wore blown into the streets , filling them to the ridge of tlio highest structure with a mist , in which even the electric light lost its brilliancy and appeared at a distance like a , Jisher- man's din on a foggy morning. The wind whistled nnd howled according to its desires , and held undisputed sway throughout tlio weary hours. Vr.STKIlDAY MOIiNINO. rAbout'lJo'cloolc yesterday morning it broke in fragments one of the immense plate glass windows of Gibson , Miller & Richardson's book store in the granite block on Fifteenth street , and the damage was not repaired until 11 o'clock , when sections of Sr.e'umw marble were substitu * ted to cover the aperture. No horse cars ventured on the tracks , nnd those whose business required their early presence in town were compelled to foot it through drifts of varying heights and width. along tor tuous sheep walks to town. Hun ! dreds of people were behind their usual time at business. Dray , express and truck men remained at homo. Mer cantile houses opened their doors , merely for form's sake , with no expectation of doing business. The sun peered through an impenetrable veil , like a disgruntled monarch , and at intervals was reviled by the hoarse voice and chilling breov.es of the noilh which lie was able neither to temper nor control. Hut few sleighs ap peared and they were out on business and not for pleasure. Pedestrians hurried along with down-bent Heads , and the weather joker when met had something to say about the pleasant nature of day. There was no change m the tempera ture up to U o'clock , and then it scorned as if the extreme cold promised were ubout to add to the intensity of the visi tation. SIGXAI , ornci : iir.roiiTg. Reports received at the signal ofllco fchow that in the west and northwest no snow is falling. Colder weather prevails , however , with a falling mercury. At Cheyenne j-estorday morning thothermo- inetorstooitat-IO0. while at lenveitt | reg- isterodTl ® abovcfln the city yesterday morning the mercury was at a point 12- ubovoyoro , and fell slightly as ( lie dayj.id- vanccd. The barometer reports irom dilforait points show that there is a gen eral depression all over this section of the northwest. The contra of depression is at DUH Moincs , causing a storm centre of considerable energy. High winds prevailed throughout the city during the day. At 11 o'clock the wind hail attained a velocity of thirty-faix miles an hour. TIlttTKAINS. The depots presented a cheerless ap pearance. Hut few men could bo found nround them and the activity of moving trains and switching cur.s seemed to have been relegated to the past. In the Union Pacillc , the passenger tracks wore covered with snow , while the other rails were occupied with long lines of diniry box cars shrouded in festoons of Icicles. No trams were sent out. Pas- Fengur train Mo. 1 , which lett hero la. t night fur the west , is in the snow at Val ley. No. 5 , which wont out at 5.05 o'clock yehlcrday evening , is laid by at Colum bus.

At 12-JO : o'clock the Union Pacilio man agement ouloicd out engines , VJ ( ) , M5 and Slut , the first tmmtioncd \\liiehwas Mipnlicd with a snow plow , which ex tended up to the he-.ulliglit. These giants rush I'd from the shops up the grade , with great Milocitv , the plow.-.hooting the obstniHln"MIOW into a. hundred dircc- tioVis and fflllng the air , for a nuiuu'T ? ? feet on cither side ot the apparatus. Each of these cnginon were manned with two crowsoni'crow beingintendcd foruay.tho otiicr for ri htv1 - ' . The wimlows of the cans of each were protected with boards and wue screens , to enable the occu pant * to look out without the danger of having their windows broken in the snow drills. The engines were under orders to go to Graml Island , clearing the track as they advanced.

After tlio borne plow shall have cleared the track to Grand Island , it will return and do simi lar service on the Republican Valley branch. Attached to the engines were an emigrant and n day coach , a box car and three cabooses. These contained i\ number of laborers , tools and food , all to bo used in the work of clearing the roads. While the trains already mentioned are nt stations at which a supply of food and other necessaries can be had for the pas sengers , this morning the Union Pacific sent to the depot six Immense chests of crackers , meat and canned goods , which will be sent on the llrst trains which leave , to provide against any want of food which may bo experienced by its pat rons before the storm shall have abated. ThoH.it M. depot had at 11 o'clock one train ready to go west , but it was waiting orders and was then three hours behind. The train for Chicago left an hour be hind time , but it was learned wnsstopped by the snow in Iowa. The Kansas Cily train came in with a few passengers and only a few minutes behind. No , 2 of yesterday from Denver hail been delayed. When last heard from it was at Ashland , and was expected to ar rive at SsilO o'clock. Yesterday morning's tram , whieli ar rives at 10 10 from the west , was eight hours behind. Thn train on the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul road was held at Tcmpleton , la , a freight train in advance of it being caught in the drifts. The Chicago it Northwestern train from Chicago had not arrived nt IS o'clock on the other side ot the river , though the roail entouta train about the usual time yesterday morning. J'lhiswas the ( only eastern road from the Hlull's which made this attempt. The Chicago it Kock Island train from Chicago reached the transfer about one hour behind , having experienced but lit tle difficulty because of the snow. The vartls in tlio Hlull's and all the freights are tied tin , Yesterday morning's train on the Chi- cago.JSt. Paul Minneapolis fcOmaha was abamloncd , il having been decided at an early hour that it would be useless to send Rout. run rosTorrin : . The carriers made one trip yesterday morning and those in the business district made another about noon. Hut no mail having arrived , the force were permitted to go home at an early hour. The mail , however , was .sent to all depots , but re turned almost immediately because of the abandonment of the trains. NOTK3. The coal dealers are anticipating a rich harvest tins winter. This weather is a God-send to a good many impecunious men who have found worK at cleaning oil sidewalks. The street car company , owing to the drifted condition of the streets , could not run any 'cars yesterday. They hope to have their tn'cks sullieiently cleared to enable cars to run on schedule time to day.Two Two young men who live in Walnut Hill , while on their way home Thursday night , lost their way in I lie blinding storm and were obliged to spend the night in an old out house. They were all but frozen yesterday morning , but managed to find their way to a house near by , where the ; were well cared for. Advices were received at tiic Union Pacific headquarters yesterday that H.irneston , a station on the O. & R. V. , just south of Heatricc , was destroyed by tiro. Particulars are uot known. Justice Borkn. This gentleman , Tuesday evening mar ried George Huhler and Miss Huldah He- rath who had already entered the mar- riag state under the misapprehension that , the license of Judge McCulloch per mitted them so to do.

How It Will Soqti Ho Avoided on Sun- dny Uy n Now Delivery. The recent visit of the postofllco inspector specter to the postolllco at this place , to gether with the additions to the force of the ofllco recently made , will bring about a number of changes in the carriers'de partment. On Sunday the custom is , and has been for many years , for people desiring mail to mass in the north end of the building and seek for their favors from their car rier inside. For a long time back , as everybody will appreciate who has ex perienced it , this has resulted in a crowd ing , a pushing and a pulling which stops but little short of the disgraceful. It is intended to obviate this by dividing the people into two lines , one composed of those who live in the residence nnd the other of those who come from the busi ness district. Kucli individual In turn will approach one of the windows to bo designated for that purpose , lie will an nounce his mime to a party stationed at the window , who will in turn shout it to the carrier who will stand at his desk. The applicant will then step aside to an adjoining open window , and will there receive his mail by means of an assist ant who will bo given it by the carrier at his desk. The same method will bo car ried out with respect to those who live in the residence districts Thirteen car riers will attend to the latter and cloven to the former. To effect this change the rack now immediately in front of the Sunday delivery will be removed and the carrier's desks brought nearer the win dows. Whether the system will work as rapidly as did the old one remains to bo Been. There can bo no doubt , however , that it will obviatp the disgraceful crushing and crowding which has been long borne with patience. AN OM > OITIZ13N COM3. Death or iininci II. CrelKlitnn His Life. The citizens of Omaha were pained tn hear yesterday of the death of James II. Creighton , an old resident of this place , which occurred at half-past 10 o'clock Thursday night. 'Since Thursday last , whcnho was taken suddenly ill Mr-JCrelgh- tonlms | been suffering from what his physi cian called a sort of paralysis ot a portion tion of the brain. He grew rapidly worse and though conscious to the last , his re covery was , almost from the first , de spaired of. Mr. Creiirhton was in his forty-second year. Ho came to Omaha in 181W , from Springfield , O. , his birthplace , and for many years was a prominent liveryman hero. He retired from business when stricken with blindness live or six years ago. Ho was a man of many good qual ities , warm-hearted , generous and always willing to lend a helping hand to those who needed it. His death will bo mourned by a largo circle of friends and acquaintances. Mr. Creighton leaves a wife , but no children. His brother , Mr. J. 1) . Creigh ton , his two sisters , Mrs. Catharine Ma- ginn and Mrs. Martha Itnyor , and his mother , Mrs. Plnubo Creighton , arc resi dents of this city. The widow herself is very low from an attack of illness brought on by an accident two weeks airo , anil it is jearcd that her husband's death will seriously impair her chances of recovery. The funeral will take place on Friday morning at , 8'oO : o'clock from the rosi- donee , 1718 Cass street , to the Holy Fam ily church. A VICTIM OF THE BLASTS. Hugh Devlin , a Soldier , Frozen to Death. As so far reported , the only victim of Thursday night's terrible storm is Hugh Devlin , a private of company E , Sftcond infantry , who perished | at Fort Omaha early yesterday morning or late Thurs day evening. Devlin was last seen alive about six o'clock Thursday night when he left the saloon just otiNido tlm fort to go to his quarters. Ho was then under the in- lluonce of liquor aud staggered consider ably. Nothing more was secn'of him until yes terday morning about 3 o'clock , when his body , fro/con still' and stark , was discov ered by a sentry , about one hundred and lifty feet from the guard house. It was partially covered with drifted snow , and lay in such a manner as to indicate that Devlin was on his way to the guard house when ho stumbled and felt. He was probably too much under the influ ence of liiiuor to icali/.c his danger , and laid in the snow until fro/.cn to death. The case was reported to the coroner , who does not deem an inquest necessary. Devlin was a man about forty-live years of ago. and unmarried. Ho came to Omaha u few months ago with the Second infantry. POLICE COUIIT. Fleming TclN Ills Slory Vagrants .Sentenced. Albert FJemiug.the old Gorman weaver whoso trouble with his wife has been re counted in the Hr.K , appeared for trial yesterday morning. His wifedid not como up to prosecute him and ho was re leased. Fleming amused the court by reciting how his wife had enticed him into mar rying her by inviting him into her house and explaining how well she could coolc , wash , iron and perform tlio general duties of a faithful spouse. "I vos married to her tree days ofdor dot , " ho explained , "und vet you dinks , in tree inonds she vas do mutter of a baby. Dot make mo mad and den doro vas t rouble between us. " Fleming went on to tell , with earnest gesticulations , how his wife had given up doing un.ylhing for him , atsd said that things ha'd conic to Rich a point that 1m was oven obliged to darn his own stock ings.A . A number of other unimportant ca = es wore disposed of by Judge Stcnberg. Four Migrants wore given ton days caeit on bread and water. VOU.N'O Hills. HATl'IN. She is Knticcd Away Prom Homo and JtctnriiH teller HiiHbaml. Readers of the HII : : will doubtless remember - member the case of Delta McArdle , the 11-year-old daughter ot James MoArdlo , who eloped with and was married to James Haltin , The pair were subse quently arrested , and the girl was made toroturn to her parents. Hattin was ar rested for swearing falsely to the ages of himself and the girl , and placed under bonds to appear before the district court. Tlio latest phase of the aifair was re ported to a representative of the HIK yesterday. It seems thata | few days ngou woman of easy vli Hie , living in this city , l anfifS'4 ! to get comniunioutlou with the young girl and cnticnd her away from her homo , She then brought her to Hat- tin , with whom it is supposed she now is. As to the wheioabouls of the pair , those interested know nothing , Ojjnllula Jiious Notes. OOAUAI.A , Neb , Nov. 1 1. [ Corre spondence of the Hui.l Election is over and Keith county has settled down to the ordinary routine of business. Tlip ques tion of the division of the county was hotly contested , but tlio result shows that the county will remuin as a whole , lor a yeur Ipngur , t\t least. Some parttei who wcro.Very tinxioud for division tajic c ( at tempting to orfitinizo notwithstanding , they failed to gut the requisite number of votes , and as it has been frequently divided by the courts that any qucstidns of this kind or majority of all votes cast Is necessary , it seems their hopes arc b.iecd on n very poor foundation. Times are lively in this county at pres ent , and are likely to bo nil wintcrowing to the fact that'the H , & M. railroad is running its line through the county and will ghc employment to a large force ofi men and teams all winter which will also create a good de mand for all kinds ot grain and hay and in this way bring considerable money into the county. Ogallala is still holding her own with all western towns. She nos made rapid strides durinir the past summer in the way of valuable improvements. The latest and most valuable improve ment is a steam llourlng mill which has already been commenced and is to bo completed by February 1.1887. Real estate eales both in town and country are groing bettor as the season grows older. Tlio principal cause being additional railroad building. No county in the state has given greater promise of a successful agricul- tuial county than Keith , and real estate of kinds is bound to increase in Value very rapidly during the next few months. Tlio season so far has been very pro pitious for all ki ds of full work. The weather is very fine , no snow having as yet fallen. Our follow townsman , J. t ) . llalligan recently "elected county attorney , has just returned with his bride nee Miss Carrie Swanscn of Nebraska City. Also two of our gemol young business men , S. F. Hoxie aud W. A , Hoackmorc , have recently assumed the role of bone diets , and settled down to the quietude of married life. Theodore Tttton nnd AVifc. It is now nearly a score of years , says the Philadelphia Times , since .a comely , graceful woman stood between the lace curtains that shaded the window of a lovely homo in Hrooklyn watching a slender , dark-haired man , who turned to wave his hand before passing out of sight. There was a smile on both faces as the hurrying feet of the pedestrian carried him around a corner and the woman leaned out of the window to watch his Vanishing form. Two children played about her feet , and , so far as the ordinary eye could sec , the house itself was the abode of domestic contentment , if not love. The dark-haired man vas Theo dore Tilton , and the woman , it is need less to add , was his wife ; but what homo has undergone a sadder and greater change in the same relentless time * After roaming from place to place the restless Tilton has settled down in Pans , where it is announced that ho means to stay. In a lonely chamber of the Protestant con vent at Newark Mrs. Tilton sits and sews from day to day , the cray light of No vember falling upon iior furrowed face and lending an ashen color to her always pallid cheeks. Of the little girls that played at her feet that September morn ing in Hrooklyn , one , Florence , is living a student's life in Switzerland , and tlio other has found a home among friends in Chicago. They say that Tilton [ ex pects to marry again , but tlio rumor is only a rumor. It is quite toojlatc for him to retrieve his former errors , whatever they were , and ho best serves himself by his dignified silence. For the other par ties to the great controversy perhaps the same can also bo charitably said. All the elements of a tr.tgcdy are contained in the aifair , excepting the necessary death , and that is more than equaled bv the un broken silence which at least two of the principals maintain.
