Wednesday night's snowstorm was tbo worst that the motor company has had to contend with for several winters. It wan not the depth of the snow that bothered the company , but the persistent manner In which It drifted over the tracks. The. sweepers which on former occasions have always been able to clear a path for the motors were useless In face of the strong wind that blow nnd hurled the snow back on i the tracks again. About midnight the sweepers themselves were unable to make headway nnd became stalled. This set . tled the matter and a short time later all j attempts to run cars was abandoned. The ' motors were unable to make the car houst ? and had to be left standing on the tracks j all night nt whatever point they had become - come ntaled. ! At daybreak another attempt was made to clear the line 'between ' here nnd Omaha and cars managed to got as far as Twenty- second street , but again became stalled. It WIM about noon before the llrst train reached Omaha. A number of people who went to Omaha Wednesday evening had to stay all night . across the river and many of them did not it-ach their homes In this city until dinner time yesterday. The local service was also tied up and thoae whoso duties carried them to town were compelled to plough their way through the snowdrifts. Some who work across the river made the trip ! to Omaha on foot , but the , number who had 1 the fortitude to do this was small. Shortly after noon the cars were running pretty rog. i ularly all over the city , but no attempt was made at schedule time. DOINGS IX THE DISTIUCT COl'HT. ' Ilcnvy Suit for IlniiuiLrcn Aenlnxt the ! Port Umltre & Oiniihn Knllvrtiy. Matthew W. Welsh filed original notice In the district court yesterday of suit against the Fort Dodge & Omaha Railroad company , In which ho aeks $10,000 damages for al leged personal Injuries. According to the notice on file Welsh was unfortunate enough to get mixed up In two accidents. The first occurred November 16 of last year , while he was working for the Fort Dodge & Omaha road at Logan. Ho says he was run Into by a train and came out of the accident with a fractured floating cartilage at the right I knee. For this Injury he asks $8,000 dam ! ages. The date of the second accident Is not given In the notice. Welsh eays ho was riding in a car 'belonging ' to the defendant company , when the car was derailed and , turned over Into the ditch. In this ' accident { i he alleges ho received a perrnanent'lnjury to his right arm , for which he thinks $2,000 should be the damages the railway ought to , ] pay him. Welsh , at the time of the acci dent , was a laborer In the employ of the de fendant railway. Thomas Maloney , as guardian of the Leutzlngcr minors , has filed an application In the district .court In the matter of the estate of the late William Siedentopf ask- ing that the amount duo the minors be made a first Hen on the property which Sieden topf was possessed of at bis de.i'.h. H is alleged - leged that Siedentopf , who was guardian of the Leutzlnger minors , had In his posses sion $2,287 belonging to the minors and that ho used this money to purchase real estate with. Interest on this amount Is claimed from February 7 , 1S90 , at C per cent. The affairs of the late William Sieden topf and the administration of his estate since his death by W. F. Siedentopf , the son , arc now being Investigated before Judge Thornoll in the district court , the hearing having been postponed to permit of the taking up of the criminal calendar. A settlement has been effected out of court In the damage suit of W. H. McClel land against the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway company. McClelland sued for the value of stock killed by a train of the defendant company. The court had ordered the case transferred to the federal court It a Hcttlement was not effected. ' " " colds.

Greg ory was tried for shooting and dangerously wounding Constable Hardln Mo ? of Loveland - land , had failed to nrrlvo at a verdict at a late hour last night. As to how the jury otood could not bo learned , but the fact that the foreman sent a message to his family , saying tin would not bo homo last night , was taken to Indicate that the members were not likely to reach an agreement for Rome considerable tinm The evidence offered by the state was decisive an to the shooting of Moss by Gregory nnd this was not dis puted by the defense. The coincidence of both Juries In tbe two trials of Gregory hanging 11 ro In the ) manner they have has led to considerable comment. The State Detectives' association of Lin coln , Neb. , is looking up Gregory's record with a view to trying to connect him with the murder of an aged Frenchman named Ju- llen , who was killed In Nomaha county , Neb. , last June. Olllcers of the association are now working on a clue which they say connects Gregory with the crime. They claim to have evidence that at tbo time Jullen was murdered Gregory was In Nc- niahu county nnd thnt shortly after the crime was committed Gregory appeared In another party of the country with e.onsld- orablti money In his possession. Jullen was was pessefPed of a good sum of ready money , which was not to bo found after his death. Leo Kills , charged with restating Marshal Looboy ef Noola , who attempted to place him under arrest for disturbing the peace , had his trial yeoterday. The case went to the Jury at G o'clock and n verdict of not cullty was returned shortly after supper The offe/iBo with which Rills was chanted wra alleged to have taken place September 10 last nt a dance In Nenln.

The present structure Is dally becoming more unsafe riiid the ne cessity of n new bridge moro apparent. Alderman Broush , chairman of the com mittee on bridge * and public property , ha ? 50 far been unable to secure n conference with General Manager Dlmtnock of the mo tor company , consequently the matter has been at o standstill. The attorneys for the motor company , however , have notified the city authorities that It the city engineer will prepare- plan of the proposed new bridge , showing the extra cost by having the structure so made ns to bo of tmflHont strength to sustain a loaded motor ear , they would Kiibnilt the snmo to the directors of their company. It Is estimated the now bridge will cost about $2,000 nnd the city authorities feel that the motor company should pay half of the expense. llnsiiiernile Hull.

( Special. ) A eansatlon was sprung In the law department of the University of Iowa yesterday , when a petition signed by nearly all the junior law students was read to Chaiicollor of the Law Department Emlln StcClaln. The petition related to an alleged grievance against Theodore Anderson , law librarian , for at tempting to coerce the students Into pur chasing expensive reference books from him at high prices , when the same books are in the library , and by the rules are free to every one. Nearly a scoreof students testi fied to Insulting words and conduct on the part of the librarian when asked civil ques tions. The most cerlous charge against Mr. Anderson was that of hiding important text and reference books belonging to the library nt times when most needed and then at tempting to force students Into buying new copies of him at high prices.

S. ( Special TeleI gram. ) The house has adopted the resolu tion offered by Byers of Shelby for the ad journment of the assembly March 1. There was some question whether or not the senate will pass the resolution , .although It Is stated that many members of the upper body favor adjournment nt un early dato. In some quarters It Is believed that the only purpose of the resolution Is to hurry up matters. The present legislation has been In session five weeks nnd has accomplished little or nothing outside at the organiza tion. As yet no Important measures have been discussed and the Indications are the real work of the assembly will not be com menced for two or three wicks , It has been expected all along the legislature would ad journ about April 10. Now It Is believed the body will adjourn between the middle of March and April 1. The session will last . about four weeks longer. After n bitter discussion on the floor of i the house n measure was passed Increasing the salary of the governor to $5,000. Among the Important measures Introduced In the lower house today was n bill by Jenks , for ( an appropriation for a school for deaf and 1 dumb at Council Bluffs. It Is believed that the western members favor the bill and will support It. Jenks has every confidence he will be able to get the bill to the governor , , who will approve It. An effort was made today to adjourn the house to Monday , but It failed. The farmer members of the house arc evidently here for bualness and there Is little prospect of long adjournments during the session. In fact it Is reported that forenoon and evening sessions will soon be Inaugurated. Hoard uf Control MutterH. Western Iowa will bo represented on the State Board of Control. Governor Shaw to day authorized the statement that he had ot- , fercd the Board of Control appointment to W. L. Culbertson of Carroll , la. , thereby . confirming the rumor which was afloat late | i yesterday. The governor is anticipating an answer from Mr. Culbertson hourly , and should ho accept his name will be sent to the senate at once. Mr. Culbertson Is ono of the wealthiest citizens In Carroll county. He Is a banker and owns large mining In terests In other slates. He Is also a veteran of the civil war and would please the old soldiers of Iho state. He seems to bo In favor with tbe members of the senate also , It being understood that the leaders of the opposition to Colonel Rood would vote to confirm Mr. Culbertsou , so the appointment now simply walls upon his pleasure. Some of the friends of Mr. Culberteon be : llcve that he will not be disposed to accept the position , the salary of $3,000 holding no Inducement for him. On the other hand It is argued that Mr. Culbertson would probably - j ably accept the nomination if It Is In line with any ambition vjhlch he entertains. Carroll and Crawford counties are in the same judicial and congressional districts and the most tiordldDJ-elktlons have always existed between them. Carroll county was the first to Instruct for Sha\v , In 1897. Mr. Culbertson 'is a personal friend of Gov- einor Shaw. Me. Macomber ot Carroll , as soon as bo heard of the nomination of Col onel Rood , came to Des Molnes to urge his confirmation , saying that in his opinion Cclonel Rood wan the best man In the Btato for the place save one , and thnt one was W. L. Culbertsfin. Mr. Culbertson , hearing of the nomination of Colonel Rood , stepped off at Des Molnee on his way home from Hot Springs to urge his confirmation , Ba > ( ng ho was the 'bent ' man In the state for the place. Mr. , Culbertson Is out or politics. He Is one < 5f the most successful bi'Elness men that Iowa has produced , one of the most popular men In the state and Is the typo of man that Governor Shaw has thus far chosen.

( Special. ) Behind closed doors In Sioux City today the officers of the Iowa-Nebraska Wholesale Grocers' association met to confer with the Sioux City jobbers about the trouble over eugar prices. It Is declared that the Sioux City Jobbers have been selling sugar at prices which no other city can meet and that the legitimate scale of prices must bo restored. It Is pretty well known that Chicago cage wholesalers have warned the officers of the Iowa-Nebraska association that unless the Sioux City men change their tactics a fight to a finish , not only In Iowa , but In the whole transmlsslsslppl territory , will fol low. The campaign would bo waged not only along sugar lines , but also on other articles In which Chicago may have the ad vantage. The Chicago men say the lown grocers have been demoralizing the prices nnd they will not stand It. It Is understood thn Grocers' association hopes to avoid trouble In the matter , but the Sioux City men maintain they are following a legltl- mate line of buslnefs and do not propose to receive Iho dictation of tbe eastern houses.

ST. LOUIS , Kub. S. The town of Colllns- i vlllo , Ill.I < twelve miles from St. lx > ule , on Ilia V.iuilnllu railroad , narrowly escaped de struction by a tornnilo today. Nine persona \vero injured in tlio Unmcillnto vicinity of the village , some of them fatally , and there wnu nntcli damage to property. The miners I I who live on the outskirts lost the most by j the wind. A group of three flno residences standing on a hill were reduced to splinter * . The- injured arc : John'Marqiiulto , ngcd 35 ; severely bruised iind burned , Injuries 'perhaps fatal. Otto Odderhole , aged 17 ; arm broken , In ternally Injured , serious. Sophie Klx , aged 17 ; skull fractured and i I bruised , thought to be fatally injured. I Newton Alderson , ucnlp wound and bruised ' face , not Horloiis.

Tony Skalla , wife and two children , badly brulsei ! . Carney Kalettc , ncalp wound and arteries cut. ' j Tom 1'omattl , ' left arm broken. | The last two name < l were blown several hundred feel from their house Into n field. About 2:30 : n. in. the storm was first felt at a point ono mile south of Colllnsvllle. The first house dcmollwhed was that occupied i by Frank Kobart. He , his son and daughter - I tor were burled In the debris and It was some time before they were rescued , bruised and bleeding , from the wreckage. They , i i were carried'to a neighbor's house'find given j such care as couldbe until phyelclaiiS'Bhbuhl arrive from the village. Itulnn Take Fire. From this place the wind swept to the north , its path being west of Colllnsvllle by .1 quarter of a mile , and the last trace , of the storm Is to bo observed at tltghtsvllle , a I ' manufacturing suburu. one mile away. After the Kobart house a group of three dwellings ! , was felled by the. wind. They were occupied I by John Marquette and Paul Marquette and Philip Crossan and their families. Al though the small dwellings were completely demolished all the occupants escaped Injury except John Marquette. His hurts from j falling timbers are not severe , but he to j badly burned , for the debris caught fire from an overturned lamp and the flames reached him before the neighbors could rescue him. The Hlght Club Coal company building was the next to bo attacked , the immense smokestack being leveled to the ground and the walls somewhat damaged. From there the wind ewept to the Vandalla tracks , lay ing waste telegraph pole-a for the distance of a quarter of a milo. Beyond the Vandalla tracks stood a group of largo frame houses , occupied by the Lawrence , Odderhole and Fix families. The storm leveled them and nothing Is left save a mass of tangled wreckage. It was here that Mr. Odderholo and Mr. Lawrence rc- ceived their serious Injuries and it was here also that the members of the Fix family wore wounded. That the children were not killed Is a marvel. Harry Fix and his sister , Sophie , j were asleep In the same room on 'the second floor. The house seemed to separate and brother and sister were let down with their beds to tbe ground floor. There they were found upon their cnnnhcs. which had not been broken by the fall , Harry not injured In the least , but Sophie was crushed under a falling timber. Knrmer Snvon n Train. Near the village of Cantane , not far from Colllnsvllle , a large farm house wan com pletely destroyed. The farmer and his family escaped. In the same locality a mile and n half of telegraph line was blown down and much debris piled on the track of the Vandalla railroad. The farmer whose homo had been destroyed whilet out looking for his live stock noticed that the track of the railroad was obetructed and , hurrying to the west a mile , he Hogged No. 14 , the fast train , due In Indianapolis at 8:20 : o'clock. It was not yet daylight and the officers of the rnad say the train would surely have been wrecked but for the thoughtfulness of the farmer. IIiiiiBroil nl riillmlrlpliln. PHILADELPHIA , Fflb. 8.
