The ndvcnt of the now 'year in Omaha
brouRlit with It a distinctive feituro of its
' own In tbo way of weather Unit was much
inoro noticeable than any of "tha special ob
servances mndo of the occasion by the citi
zens
The old year prepared to sink Into the past
In n misty shroud of nature's own wearing ,
but the rnptil approach of the young blizzard
that wns to usher in the new year rendered
f tbo closing hours of 1890 considerably live
lier , atmospherically speaking , than Is wont
to bo the case nt death bed sccnoi.
Tbo mercury began to fall rapidly about 8
o'clock Wednesday evening , and ns the wind
i ! increased in velocity in a corresponding de
gree , the Ucnso cloud of mist that
bnd enshrouded the city during the
latter part of the afternoon was changed
nt midnight to a driving , pelting storm of
sleet. Tbo I coy blasts tore around the street
corners nnd up nnd down tbo alloys , pene
trating every nook and crevice , nnd suc
ceeded very well In malting frxitbulls of bo-
Intod podestrinns returning homo nfter fol
lowing out tbollino-houoreJcustom of watch
ing Ilia old year die.
From reports received ut the local signal
oflleoit w.is found that the storm was gen
eral over llio entlro northwest. Snow was
reported in small quantities , accompanied by
high winds. The wind was reported blowing
from the west and northwest , with indica
tions of a cold simp lasting several days.
A telegram was received nt the signal of-
0cofrom Washington conveying tbo information
mation tbat the temperature would fall to
10 ° abovozoro by thH inornlng , bub the indi
cations were that it would full considerable
below that point.
Small wonder was It , in view of these cir
cumstances , that tbo Ice man nnd coal dealer
smiled benignly as they bid the new year a
liearty welcome , while tbo average citizen
pulled the coverlets more tightly over his
iicad anil debated in his own mind whctucr n
new your was sueb a desirable acquisition
after all.
Thoughts of the hnppiness and prosperity
that the old year had brought to Omnhawero
not In the least lessened by recollections of
tbo balmy December weather Just passed ,
but tbo rich promises held out for tbo future
werosufllclentto cause n feeling of thankful
ness , not only for tlio past , but that n new
urn of prospective brightness hud been en
tered upon.
As tlio clock in the high school tower an
nounced the death of the old nnd birth of the
now year bells in all parts of the city nnd
tbo whistles of every engine in the railroad
yards added their quota to the conglomera
tion of sounds that were turned loose on the
midnight nir. It lasted for fully flvo minutes ,
when each v > ai'tlcipatit evidently considered
bis full duty done nnd silence reigned once
more , with the solo execution of the ele
ments' roijuiem to the old year.
"
"When inornlng dawned snowdrifts were
piled across the streets at frequent inter
vals , f.nd tbo motormcn and gripmen started
out to clear the street car trades of the ob
structions , During the first few morning
hours street car travel wns anything but
satisfactory , but sweepers were sent over
tbo lines nnd the effects of the blizzard be
came less noticeable.
The dnv hnd a Sundny-lllto nppenranco , as
the business houses were closed nnd tbo
streets were n deserted nir. Now Year's
customs were very generally confined to home
gatherings' nbout the family hearthstone.
L.CSS New Year's cnlling was .dono than it
usually the case , although n few social events
were .successfully curried out to tbo enjoy-
inentof favored guests.
The hotels treated their gucsts.to . a special
nprcnd in honor of tbo day. Quietreigned on
every bund , and during the afternoon the
weather coincided with the prevailing char
acteristic.
The police Judge held n brief morning ses
sion for tbo benefit of tbo few unfortunates
whoso exuberant spirits had called for mu
nicipal control during tbo night , nnd after
that oven tbo police station witnessed no
happenings of au eventful nature.

The cable cars were iluo to cross nt5

Shortly nfter tbo cars commenced crossing

'nihADCi.i'iiiA , Pa. , Jan. 1. The Heading
coal and Iron company bnvo issued a circular
notifying the trade that on and alter January
1 the production of "small stove" coal will
bo discontinued , and that "chestnut" coal
will thereby bo unproved in size and quality.
All the operators have agreed to do the
same , therefore , hereafter "small stove" will
: iot bo obtainable. The following reasons
for this action were given this morn-
tig by a prominent oftlciul of
the company ; "Tho small steve
si/o became immensely popular ns
soon ns it was introduced by the Heading
company several years ago , It Is a size be
tween stove ami chestnut. Tbo former was
not satisfactory to consumers because It did
not work well in self-feeding ranges and fur
naces , being n trifle too largo , while the hit-
tur , though very desirable. In this respect ,
was thought , by householders to ho expensive
for the reason that it was consumed inoro
rapidly than tbo larger sizes. The small steve
proved lo bo a good feeder and n ton was
thouirht to give better results in heating than
the same amount of chestnut. Hence the
consumer would have nothing but the small
stove , and the retailers being flooded with
orders for it , they in turn made such largo
requests for it of the wholesalers that t he
latter demanded about five tons ot
small steve to ono of any other
Itlnd from the collerios. Of course
tbo colleries could not till the orders in these
pronortions , as they nro able to mnko but a
limited amount of each size nnd the failure to
supply the kind of coal demanded caused
constant complaint and irrltationainongdoal-
crsnud consumers. For instance , a dealer ,
to get 100 tons of small steve coal , would be
compelled to tnlco along with it 500 tons of
other kinds which ho did not wnnt. In order
to protect themselves the colleries would sell
but n limited amount of small stove , unless
orders were innde at the snmu tlmo for other
si/.cs In proportion. This became such n
iiuisanco that retailers mid mlddlo men im
portuned the operators to discontinue Its -ya
ductlon and tbo request has been granted. ' '

popular Savannah pastor's transfer to nn-

congregation has a handsome now church in

with great success , nnd his congregation
appreciated his work. The plans for tbo
building provided lor ono row of columns in
n certain part of tlio church. Some of the
members thought there ought to bo two rows ,
The pastor considered one row sufllcicut. A

who favored having two rows pot tbo opin

two rows. Tbo division being close nnd ex

Campaign ia lining Coti'luctcil
Tlio Alliance ,
Tcrrm , ICnn. , Jan. 1 , [ Special to T'tn
liu.J Senator Ingalls' opponents nro tnoro
determined than ever. The men \vho luivo
barge of the senator's campaign nro very
different from tbosc who conducted the ro-
ccnt stnto flght for the rcpiiDlicaiH. They
invo fewer confidants , nnd hro better
ichoolcd politicians , Prom the very inccp-
Ion of the Ingnlls fight they have worked to
: ) rlngsuch n condition of nfTiurs about tlmt
the United States senator-elect would cither
bohigalls ornn nlhanco man.- The strenuous
efforts \vlilcli wcro made by ccrtnin rt'puWl-
cnn leaders to have Senator Ingnlls withdraw
11 order tlmt the republican senate might
.inlto on a tiinn against whom tbo nlllancn re-
> uhlic.ins were not plodded , was fought to n
finish within tbo republican ranks , nnd Sen-
ixtor Infills' friends Bullied tlio victory.
Scnntor Ingnlla will return to Topeka
.vbeii . tbo legislature convoiios niul will ro-
i.nln hero until nftor his successor Is elected.
Una tbo senatorial election occurred ono
: noiith ago ho would hnvo been easily dcfi'al-
cd. Then the republicans were illvidod but
now the division is within tbo ranks of the
> oonlo's party.
Three distinct combinations nnvo been
'onnetl and two of them have already been
liurstcd. The various candidates for the sen
ate have grown suspicions , uiuln combination
'ias been formed against Judge Potter , who is
bought to bavo the most strength. Tbo
seeming certainty of the election of an alliance
nmn to succeed Senator Ingnlls has caused
ho "old guard" to lese its bond , and tbo
, vomen who were such potent factors in tbo
stnto campaign nro beginning to nmlco trouble.
\Vhothcror not this condition of jill'ulrs was
brought about through tbo manipulation of
Senator Ingulls' managers Is a question , but
Die people's party leaders freely attmlt tbat
the light Is nioro complicated than ever.
The Alliance elected ninety-two represcnta-
ivcs , nine more than enough to elect a sen
ator , but there nro something like twenty
> vho remain unpledged. None of them were
iistructcd nt the nominating conventions.
Judge W. .A. Poffer , editor of the Kansas
Farmer , was the llrst alllanco cnndlilato for
senator in the Hold and succeeded In getting
n number of alliance nominees pledged to him
before the election occurred.Vhentho re
turns showed that J. Willits , tbo alliance
nominee for governor , was only defeated by a
small plurality his friends at once began
booming liim for tlio senate.
The list of senatorial aspirants now In-
clinles 1' . P. Kldor of Franklin county , a
nolltlcian of twenty years' .standing ; Judge
\V. A Pepper , editor of the Kansas Farmer ;
.lorry Simpson , congressman-elect from the
Seventh district ; 1'rof. .lames II. Canllold of
the state university ; J. F. Willits , defeated
candidate for governor , and General John II.
lilce , a republican. Within the last week
Tudgo Frank Dostcr of Marlon county has
bci-ii brought out by his friends and the
women arc engaged in booming him.
The alliance is also determined to elect a
state winter.
Governor Elder , who was clectod to the
egislnturo from Franklin county , will un
doubtedly bo elected speaker of the house.
His position will give him prcstigo and ho
will have the additional advantage of being a
schooled politician. Mr. Willll's campaign
is being managed by S. W. Chase , chairman
of the people's central committee.

In custody Edison Drown , .Tnclcsou Conway

A Illg 11:111 : Ic Swindle.
DETIIOIT , Mich. , Jan. 1. Banking and rail
road circles were thrown into excitement
yesterday over the issuance of a circular by
the Dank of Montreal , warning the Runic of
Detroit nnd the United States ngninst'tho ac
ceptance of four certificates of deposit on
the State and four on the People's banks.
Service of this notice nnd the presence of
four provincial detectives brought to light n
swindling story by which the Bank of Mon
treal was done out of ? ' 20OOJ. It appears that
James N. Henry , n produce dealer of Chat
ham , Out , presented early in the month to a
local branch of the bank at Chatham sundry
bills of lading purporting to bo Issued by the
Grand Trunk mid Cannnlan Pacific railroads.
Ho entered then ) us deposits nnd checked
against thorn until bo had'drawa § 30,003. Ho
then cnme to Detroit , presented Ills money at
the two banks named nnd took ccrtllicates of
deposit. It notr turns out that thiiso bills
were bogus nnd that no such freight was de
livered to the companies. Some of these cer
tificates of deposit bavo been cashed , but It
is believed that 10Si5 ; on the People's bank
nnd flS.SCilon ) the State bank nro still out.
Notllicntion is mndo to prevent their pay
ment. Henry bos disappeared.
