The E:x-Senator From Virginia Dies at an Early Hour this Morning After a Long ItIness. Woodstock, Va., Jan. 24.—Harri- son Holt Riddleberger, ex-senator, died this morning at 2:30 aftera long illness. His death has been expected for several days. His fam- ily were present when he died. Mr. Riddleberger was born at Ed. mburg, Shenandoah eounty, Va., October 4, 1844. He had a common school education, and then studied with a tutor at home for two years. He was then 17 years old when the war began, and was for three years in the confederate army as lieutenant of infantry and captain of cavalry. After the war he studied law and was admitted to the bar, beginning his practice at Woodstock, where fhishome was. For two years he was the commonwealth’s attorney for his county; he served four years in the house ef delegates, and for a ‘imilar period inthe state senate. He was a member of the state demo- cratlc committee. until 1875,presiden- tial elector on the democratic ticket in 1876, and on the re-adjuster tick- etin 1880. In 1883 he entered the United States senate as a re-adjust er and his term ended in 1889. In ithe meantime he has had several contentions with his colleague, Gen. Mahone, and during the last /tampaingn he opposed Mahone. Since 1870 he has been the editor rof three papers—the Tenth Legion, Virginian. Literary Note. Professor W. C. Kitchin, Ph. D., of Cambridge, has written a pic- turesque and vivid historical novel tatitled “The Fall of the Christians,” | which is running in the New York Ledger.

Fire in the Mountains Adds Terror te the Winds. | Denver, Col., Jan. 26.—A terrible wind storm raged in eastern Colora- do all yesterday and Friday. Den- ver streets are almost deserted from | morning till night, and reports from the divide country show it to be the worst storm in years. Trains on the Santa Fe, Rio Grande and Fort | Worth were moved yesterday by gangs of section men clearing the sand, which fills the cuts, from the rails. The path of the heaviest storm is down the mountains through Monument, Colorado Springs and Manitou. A telephone from Monument at 8 o'clock last evening said that many cut buildings had been destroyed and citizens were moving from their houses and taking refuge in the brush. It reached a hurricane at Manitou. Buildings are reported wrecked, and sidewalks lifted bodily and hurled througn the air. To add to the ominous situation fire has broken out in the mountains between that point and Pike’s Peak, and it is spreading over the hills with fearful rapidity. Itis only two miles from the town, and a sligh change in the wind would soon drive it into town, and nothing could save the beautiful mountain resort, with its mamoth hotels and elegant cot- tages. Heavy explosions about 6 p. m., along the mountains in the vi- cinity of graders’ camps on the Pikes Peak railroad, lead to the belief that the fire has reached the powder mag- azine. There are hundreds of men in the mountains, and grave fears are entertained for their safety. Fires are also reported on the mountains west of Pik’sPeak. It is reported that the wind is unusually severe on Pike’s Peak, and that ata railway grading camp half-way up the mountain several men were kill- ed by being blown over a precipice. This report however is not confirmed. North of Denver the storm has devastated the country for miles, and at Louisville, the center of the storm, manv dwellings were com- pletely wrecked. At Fort Collins, the new college building was demol- ished, and trains on all the lines were compelled to stop in sheltered places to avoid the storm. Reports from Idaho last night are that the worst snow storm of the season has been raging since 2 o'clock Friday afternoon all through the territory. The Utah & North- ern railroad is completely blocked again, and all rolling stock and mc- tive power has been ordered side- tracked until the storm is over. The Central Pacific isin ® worse condi- tion than ever. It was reported yes- terday morning that the fast mail, side-tracked at Shady-Run for the past ten days, on which the Howard Atheneum-company is, had been got- ten out, and the company was on its way to Omaha to pick up the thread of its engagements, but later advices prove this false. The un- fortanate train is still stuck fast and it is not likely to get out for several days. Nothing can be learned as to their health or condition, but they must be in a very unpleasant shape. i | From a Lady of Clarence, Iowa. Rheumatic Syrup Co., Jacksou, Mich. Gents: For ten years I have been afflicted with inflammatory rheumatism and indigestion. My hands, arms and limbs were badly swollen, and, at times I could not wear my shoes. : Upon adviceI began using Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup. Two bottles cured ime. It is awondesful medicine, acting {upon the stomach and digestive organs as it does, eradicates the potson trom the blood and purifies the whole system.
