A mal sleet storm plastered great areas of the country with ice last night from the Alleghenies to the Rockies, north of Mason and Dixon line. It began about 6 p.m., and in half an hour the telegraph wires commenced to show signs of demoralization. By 9:30 the life had been temporarily choked out of nearly every metal string throughout a vast belt by the constantly thickening weather, freezing crystals stretching from pole to pole.

A majority of the executive members of the National League in Great Brit- ain have decided, that speakers at branch meot- ings on St. Patriéh's day shall advocate Mr. MeCarthy for the leadership of the Irish party. RELIGION AND LABOR. In a letter duted January 28 Cardinal Gib- bons says: “The toiling masses should be prac- tically convinced that they possess the sym- pathy of the church. Mistakes are indeed made and sins sometimes committed by labor organizations, But theso faults are usually ex- aggerated by timid souls and selfish capi If ministers of religion are to continue to ex- ercise a salutary infl over the workman and to keep him within the bounds of moral duty they must convince him of their sincere affection by earnest efforts to better his ma- terial condition.” ‘EMPRESS FREDERICK IN PARIB. Empress Frederick of Germany and her daughter, Princess Margaret, are actively en- kaged in sight-seeing in Paris. Empress Fred- erick yesterday walked in the garden of the Tuileries and drove in the Bois de Boulogne, receiving cverywhere respectful greetings. She afterward visited the exhibition of the Art Union Club, where she was especially attracted by Detaille's pictures. During the day man persons called at the German embassy to pay their respects to the ex-empreas. Among them were M. Ribot, minister of public instruction; Gen. Brugere, chief of the military household of President Carnot, and a large number of foreign diplomatic representatives.

Baron Henry de Worms, political secretary of the colonial office, in the house of commons yesterday, in answer toa question upon New- foundland matters, said that the government of Newfoundland had protested against the fact that the convention between Newfoundland and the United States had not been sanctioned by the imperial gévernment. MAY BE CALLED OX TO EXPLAIN. The Pall Malt Gazette yesterday published in parallel columns a sermon which the Rev.Chas. H. Spurgeon, pastor of the famed Tabernacle, presehed in 1864 and an address delivered by the Right Hon. Jos. Savory, lord mayor of Lon- don, last week at the Polytechnic Institute (Young Men’s Christian Institute for appren- tices, artisans, &c.), in Regent street, London. ‘The two discourses are identical in almost every particnlar, long pa in the Spurgeon ser- mon being delivered unchanged in the lord mayor's address, Lord Mayor Savory, whose attention was called by a reporter to this singu- lar coincidence, said that he was unaware of the similarity existing between his recent ora- tion and Spurgeon’s pulpit utterances of 1864. ‘The lord mayor added that he had never, to the best of his knowledge, seen the sermon re- ferred to.

Here the parade, except the guard of honor and an escort of mounted police, was Gisntissed.

Johnston's serving as pall- bearer was in accordance with a promise mu- tually made between himself and Gen. Sher- man. Some years ago Gen. Sherman and Gch. Johnston agreed that the survivor of them would, if health pérmitted, attend the funeral of the other. friendship between these two great aciversaries on the field became after the war wax closed an intimacy which was touching in its tenderness. When Gen. John- ston was a member of the House.of Representa- tives Gen. Sherman used to go frequently to the Capitol and sit yrith Johnston for an Hour or two during a session of Congress. And they visited oue another at their homes frequently. Sherman's admiration for Johnston as » soldier was very great. He regarded him as the wisest soldier on the confederate side, because he knew perfectly well from Johuston’s tactics in Geor that the great confederate soldier was convinced that the south was beaten after Vicksburg fell and Lee was beaten at Gettys- ary Johnston felt in the fall of "63 that no mili- tary man could doubt what the end was to be d he «iid not hesitate to express his opinion, although this made him extremely unpopular and brought upon him the enmity of President is.

A squad of police reserves wore held in readiness for duty at the Hyde Park Station for a tinie yesterday morning, but as there was no indication for their services they were sent abont their other duties. : A Chiengo paper says: “It may be said almost ‘as positively as though it had been formally de- termined by the directory that the lake front will be entirely abandoned as a site for the world’s fair and that the big show will be held under one tent, as it were, at J: Park.” It appears that the trade unions are not satis- fied with the contract made by the directory for the work of preparing Jackson Park. The clause forbidding the employment of aliens is all well enough, they say, a8 far as it goes, but they want the unions and the eight-hour day recognized, and they want a permanent board of arbitration appointed. ive SAEs MOT WORDS BETWEEN LAWYERS.

Donelly, has arrived ‘at New York from Kingston, Jamaica, and brought fivo sailors from the wrecked British bark Topsy. The men are the only survivors of a crew of eleven, and the story they tell of the drowning of their captain, first and second mates, two sailors anda cabin boy is dramatic. The Topsy had « cargo of phosphate from Kingston, West Indies, and was bound to Sa- vannah, Ga. She left Kingston January 20 and started on her voyage up the American coast. Before she had cleared the Keys a heavy north- east gale caught her. Sail was shortened and the bark hove to, but the heavy seas and wind drove her to leeward. At 10 o'clock on tho night of January 26, during the height of the storm, the surf to leeward warned the captain of the'reefs near by. ‘The vessel was allowed to fall off and an attempt was made to wear ship. It was unsuccessful and at 11 o'clock she struck heavily on Grand Cayman. Both boate were swamped in the attempt to get them over the side. 6 second boat carried two sailors down with her. Heavy seas pounded the ship and it was evident she was fast going ie Be- tween the bark and coast of the island there was one frothing mass of sea rushing over coral reefs and rocks. Finally an attempt was made to get ashore on two poorly constructed rafts. During the mate was washed away and be- work fore the eyes of his trew. The second mate followed within a few minutes while trying to make the timbers of the raft #0. fast together that the seas would not separate them. en the two rafts were launched Capt. Alex.

Sheriff Calkin rapped for order and cried “Silence,” but for a moment the noise in the court room continued. The evidence obtained from the witnesses examined yesterday was not of great import- ance. Mra. Joseph Ahrens testified that she was at the McAtee house after the shooting and saw the overcoat, bu: saw no mud on it. It had been raining the night before the tragedy and the wheels of the wagon were muddy. Vail claims his coat struck against one of the wheels. During the afternoon session three insurance agents were exumined. John C. Barrows said he had issued an accident policy on V: for £5,000 on August 16, 1849. C. H. Gore stated that he had issued a policy of 85.000 on Mrs. Vail’s life on August 12, 1889, payable to Chas. ait The day after the funeral Vail came office and told him about the accident, He said his coat struck the wagon wheel and the pistol was thus dis- charged. H. P. Thomas testified that Vail, during 1889 and the first pur* of 1890, had purchased eight- een accident tickets from him for himseld and all for €5,000 each. ‘The tickets were god for two days. "The last one was purchased Feb- ruary 8, 1890, two days before the shooting. edhe ou THE BONE GRAFTING CASE. Dr. Phelps’ Official Account of the Now Celebrated Operation. The Medical Record of Ney York will today publish Dr. Phelps’ official account of tae now celebrated case of bone grafting recent.y per- formed at the Charity Hospitel in that city, wherein it was attempted to supply defect in the leg bone of the lad, Johnny Gothins, by engrafting a piece of bone from his dog’s leg. The lad was suffering froman ununited fracture of the lower third of the leg, the result of an opefation to remedy an anterior curvatcre of the tibia, which had existed and had slowly in- creased from early childhood until he wascom- pelled to go upon crutches. In his account Br. Phelps, who performed the operation, says: “Before the operation was performed ths vo- cal cords of the dog had been carefully severed under ether, to prevent any disturbance of th patient. At the end of two weeks, however, the cords had again united and the voice of the dog sounded fully as strong as before the oper. ation. On the sixth day after the operation the wound was found perfectly healed by primary pus.
