” WHERE COLD SNAPS PINCH. Hard on Poor People Without Food, Fuel or Proper Clothing. The cold snap has had the effect of greatly increasing the number of applicants for free food andiuel. The open weather of December, however, gave poor people an opportunity to do more work than usual during the winter season and unless there is a decided change in the weather lasting some days atatime the police do not expect there will be as much suf- fering as is usual in mid winter. There have been many applications made for assistance, but in most cases the applicants were sick peo- ple, unable by reason of infirmities to obtain proper food and medicines, In some instances poor women with children were the applicants. ‘This morning « colored woman named Lizzie Monroe entered the first precinct station and told the officers that she was cold aid hungry and had no home. Policeman Sutton complicd with her request and took her to the Police Court, Judge Miller gave her ninety days on the farm. aes FREEDMAN’S HOSPITAL CHARGES.

THEY FILE BILLS IN EQUITY HERE AND IN HAGERSTOWN TO PREVENT A SALE OF THE CANAL AND TO PRESZRVE IT aS A WATERWAY. Gen. George S. Brown, Mr. John S. Gittings, ‘Wm. M. Matthews, Frederick M. Colston and Bradley 8. Johnson, trustees of the bond hold- ers of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal company, under the act of 1944 and the mortgage of 1943, have filed bills in the Sapreme Court of the District of Columbia and the circuit court for Washington county, Md., in equity, asking for the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the canal, to borrow money to put it in repair and to operate it. The bill charges that the company fs insolvent; that it owes $1,699,500 of bonds, which are now due, with twenty-five years’ interest on them; that in May last @ great freshet totally wrecked the canal and made it useless, and that it i now completely destroyed as a waterw: It is stated that the company has made every reasonable effort to raise money to repair the canal, without success, The report of the president and directors of June 13, 1839, states that it will require $300,000 to repair the canel and put it in good condition, and that the com- Lead is powerless to raise this amount; that the jondholders, for whom the complainants are trustees, have « first lien on the tolls and reve- nues of the canal, and unless it is repaired and operated as a canal, they will lose their money and be without remedy; that if a receiver or receivers be appointed, money can be obtained to repair the canal, it can be maintained as a waterway, and revenue can be earned to pay the bondholders. Chief Judge Alvey, at Hagers- town, set the application down for # heariug on the 30th of January, The counsel for the trus- tees is Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, and the bill in Hegerstown was filed by Johnson & Johuson and H. H. Keedy and in this city by Johnson & Johnson and W. M. Matthews. WiAT GEN. JONSON SAYS. The Baltimore Sun quotes Gen, Johnson as saying: ‘The object of this movement is to prevent the sale of the canal and to preserve it asa waterway. The bond holders are vitally interested in having the canal operated asa cunal and not asa railroad, It is a great mis- take to believe that the days of canals are numbered. Under proper conditions canals can transport heavy ireight like coal on terms beyond possible competition by railroads. The bond holders are not willing’ to advance the money to repair and Ci ohiae the canal as long as it remains under political management, We ure not complaining of th management, but of the system. Politics can't run a hotel, acanal or a railroad. Experience is overwhelming on that poiat, but we believe that the canal may be resuscitated and made a great benefit to the coal regions, to the state andto the bond holders.

King Carlos of Portugal Gives Audience to the American Sailors. Aspecial cable telegram to the New York Hercid describes the audience given yesterday by King Carlos to the officers of the squadron of evolution. Dom Carlos I, the young Portu- guese king, was sufficiently recovered from his attack of ls grippe to hold anaudience. Among those presented were Admiral Walker, Capt. Robeson of the Chicago, Capt. Howell of the Atlanta, Capt. O'Kane of the Boston, Flag Lieut, Staunton, Commander Chadwick of the Yorktown, Lieut. Commander Knox, Lieut, Bradbury and Capt. Reid, all under the charge of the popular American minister to Lisbon, Dr. George B. Loring, who is one of the king's favorites, “The entrance to the Beleman palace is not imposing,” says the Herald correspondent, “but the beauty of the interior smaply compen- sates for any external plainness. To approach the king's room we mounted a marble staircase leadmg into a hall. On each side were the roysi sergeants in heavy liveries of red and gold, several carrying old-fashioned silver hal- berds, on which were embossed the arms of Portugal, Within a few minutes of 8 o'clock the doors of the royal drawing room were thrown open and the admiral and officers en- tered, For some time the king talked with the admiral, asking him about his voyage, &c. The king wes dressed in a long frock coat of rough black material and was altogether in mourning. He said he had teourereé from his illness, which was by no means serious. 'Then he shook hands with the admiral, Minister Loring and the other officers, giving each a good, hearty grip. TRE DINNER, “The dinner at Ajuda palace last night was a grand affair, There were 200 guests, all of whom wore full uniform, At 8:30 o'clock the king, wearing the uniform of a gencralissimo and jeweled decorations of the three high orders of Portugal, entered the ante-chember with the wife of the premier on hisarm. He was followed by the queen on the arm of the Archduke enue. Next came Dom Alfonso. vi vom tables were spread with his- d plate ornaments, statuettes and al gi her relies of Portuguese grandeur brought from Brazil, The king sat between the wives of the premier and the Spanish minister. Oppo- site the king sut the wife df the American min- ister, with the premier’ on her right and the grand chamberlain on her left. At the queen's table sat the Archduke Eugene on her right and the nuncio on her left, At the table were also Admiral Walker, Captains Robeson, O'Kane and Howell, Commander Chadwick and the American minister and Mme. Garcia, “The queen wore a tiara of diamonds. Her velvet dress, under which was a white satin petticoat, was covered with old point lace. Her necklace was of large ecacala pendants, set with diamonds, Mrs. Loring, the American minister's wife, wore a beautiful Parisian dress of white satin brocade, the front and sides embroidered with gold, and a long train toned by gold epaulettes, In her hair were white feathers and diamonds. Both the king and queen spoke to Admiral Walker. The qucen requested that the officers be introduced end conversed with them in a charming man- ner.” —--—— — +e. No Wine at Judge Brewer’s Dinner.

Judge Brewer and family leave for Washington tomorrow. Se eae Kemmler’s Case to be Appealed. W. Bourke Cockran, who made the argument against electrical execution before the referee | last Octobe., said yesterday in regard to the decision in the Kemmler case: ‘This decision has the effect of keeping Kemmler in jail to await sentence, but before the district attorney can get in a motion to have a date set for his execution I shall enter a notice of appeal, which will be equivalent toa stay of proceed: ings until the appeal has been heard and a de- cision rendered. I think I can arrange tomake an argument some time in January. This will doubtless delay the execution of other prisoners now under sentence of death, although I have } no connection whatever with any case but Kemmler's.” ee © A special meeting of the southern society has been celied for January 7 to take action on the dewth of Jefferson Davis, Henry George is going to Australia Fobra- ary 8. hacia 40 Dass. “For 25 years I have suffered with sciatic rheuma- Last November I was taken worse than ever unable to get out of the house, I was almost forty duys, suffering great agony all the .
