A Heavy Snowfall Blanketed the Sunny South and in Florida There Was a Freeze. A narrow escape cut sharply athwart the weather bureau’s outlook southward last night, and the gale and snow which were predicted are tearing up the Atlantic ccean about 200 miles southeast cf Nan- tucket. Here instead we have a bouyant and sunny air, with a prediction at noon of abiding fair weather and a gradually warmer temperature. We erred officially on the safe side,” was the comment at the weather bureau today. “That is, so far as Washington and vincinity are concerned. There was a big snow and wind stcrm headed this way—the biggest the south has seen at this season in years. It came steadily north- THE OFFICIAL ward along the coast, leaving at last ac- counts last night seven inches of snow ut Atlanta, ten at Charlotte, N. C., eight at Raleigh, three at Richmond, and no one here ‘knows how much at Norfolk. ‘That city is cut off from communication by wire. All our reports from the south came tnis morning by the west through New York. We have been trying hard all day to get Norfolk, Richmond, Raleigh and Weldon. All say they cannot get Kichmond. ‘There must have been a terrific blow down there. We predicted a heavy sea in the lower bay and I guess they got it. “At Norfolk the storm veered off to the east, and the cost to the north escaped except that there is snow and a high wind at Nantucket. North Carolina is beau- tifully covered with a foot of snow. South Carolina 1s also pretty well blanketed. In northern and inland Florida there was a sharp freeze. At Jacksonville this morn- ing the thermometer was 34. Between there and Pensacola it was down to 30. There were no reports this morning from Hatteras, Wilmington, N. C., Charleston, Augusta, Savannah, Tampa or Norfolk. The wires are down and the snowfall has impeded communication. We kept shipping in harbor all along the coast to be on the safe side. And it was Safe, too, for all along the coast there was either a gale on shore or twenty or thirty miles outside. All the afternoon here yesterday it looked locally as if we were to have our share of snow and possibly of wind. This sunshine today, locally considered, 1s enough to make a forecaster sick if we were not glad to escape what other folks southward caught.” As to the weather in the next twenty- four hours the prediction is agreeable. It will remain fair, grow warmer, and there are no disturbing “highs” and “lows” frolicking on the forecaster’s widely stretching horizon. The temperature is rising in the northwest, and there is some hope that the impending calamity at Chip- pewa Falls, Wis., may be averted by the ice jam thawing out under the pressure of tke floods of water behind it. —— Hotel Arrivals.

George Matthews Removed Fi wer of Being Lync Special Correspondence of The E LA PLATA, Charles county, Md., December 3, 1896 There was a large gathering at the station yesterday afternoon to see Sher- iff Wade depart with George Matthews for the Baltimore jail, in order that he might be safely kept until the day the gov- ernor will fix for his execution. The re- moval from jail of the condemned murderer of ‘Jim’ Irwin renders unnecessary the further employment of the extra guard to protect the jail, and last night Jailer Burch was alone in charge of the county prison and the dozen prisoners confined therein. When the court adjourned and Mrs. Ir- win returned to jail she went to work in the kitchen with a colored woman and as- sisted in preparing the last dinner the mur- derer was furnished fn Charles county. Matthews seemed much disappointed at the outcome of Mrs. Irwin's case, for he had hoped to give evidence against her yester- day and secure her conviction. Shortly before 3 o'clock Matthews dressed himself and ieft the county jail without having an opportunity to see Mrs. Irwin. She could see him from the kitchen win- dow. He was a trifle nervous at the sta- tion, but he boarded the train without hear- ing word said against him, for the gath- ering was well-behaved. Among them were some who would have served on Mrs. Ir- win’s jury had the case not been trans ferred from here. One said he would hav voted for conviction had the state shown criminal intimacy between the woman and the condemned man, while another pressed himself as being on the other Mr. Mudd’s Statement. Mr. Mudd’s idea in having the case trans- ferred, it 1s thought, was that it would be transferred to Marlboro’, and there was scme disappointment when Baltimore was designated. There was so much criticism on his action that Mr. Mudd made the fol- lowing statement: “I had the case removed for reasons that came to my attention yesterday morning. I regretted to have to take this course, but acted under a deep sense of duty to the de- fendant, whose interest alone 1 must look out for. Nearly every juror sworn on his voir dire stated that he had formed an opinion, even those that I had to select. When jurors once make up their minds they are not very easily changed, though they enter the jury box with the very best intentions to do their duty, as I am sure the members of this jury desired and in tended to do. I proceeded to the extent that i did in the effort to get a jury be- cause of an earnest desire to try the case here. It was demonstrated to me during the-swearing of the jurors that it was my imperative duty to have the case removed. At the present time in the county there is much feeling running generally in the di- rection of convictions because of the recent crimes that, unfortunately, have gone un- punished. In justice to my client I could not well ignore this condition of affairs in censidering the question as to the advisa- bility of removal.’” It Is thought that Mrs. Irwin's case will be tried in Baltimore before Christmas. The case will probably be heard in the criminal court, in which Judge Stockbridge -presides. Arrival at Baltimore, Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., December 3, 1896. Sheriff Wade of Charles county arrived here yesterday afternoon with George Mat- thews, the condemned murderer of James J. Irwin. The train reached Union station before 6 o'clock, and the prisoner was taken to the city jafl, where Warden Bailey assigned him to cell 20. On the way from Charles county the prisoner conversed with Sheriff Wade about the case, and showed his feeling against Mrs. Irwin and State's Attorney Posey. > -— California Land Case. A case involving the title to a large tract of land in California was up in the Su- preme Court yesterday, when arguments were submitted by counsel. The land was comprised in the original grant to the At- lantie and Pacific Railrcad Company made in 1866, and the dispute is between tho United States government ard the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. This grant was forfeited by the failure of the Atlantic and Pecific to build its road within the specified time. The Southern Pacific claims the land on 2 junior grant. ‘The case comes to the Suprer:e Court frem the circuit court of appeals for the ninth circuit, where the de- cision was averse to the railroad company. ‘he record in the sult covers about 4,000 pages of printed matter, including an en- tire volume of maps and drawings.

CANTON, Ohio, December 2.—As a result of a conference between Mr. Hanna and President-elect McKinley, the treasury portfolio was offered to the national re- publican chairman. Mr. Hanna did not blush and say, “This is so sudden!” but asked for time to consider the offer before making a final answer, This was granted, and Mr. Hanna was) told: that he might take as much time as he'desired to con- sider the matter. M. A. Hiinna, therefore, has it in his own hands whether he will be a cabinet adviser of, President-clect Me- Kinley or not. The Times correspondent has received permission to state this with emphasis as being correct beyond. the doubt. It is stated on very good authority to- night that Maj. McKinley has chosen An- drew D. White of New York to be Secre- tary of State, Henry Clay Evans of Ten- ressee to be Postmaster; General, and Henry C. Payne of Wisconsin to be Secre- tary of the Intericr. Mr.McKinley’s old friend, W.. R. Day of Qhio will be Attorney General, and it is almost certain that Con- gressman Boutelle wil] be at the head of the Navy Department. 5 The War Departmeiit selection rests be- tween Thaddeus S. Clarkson of Nebraska, the present commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, and Gen. Manderson of the same state, but it is un- derstood that the latter has waived his claims in favor of Clarkson, who has the support of the organized veterans. The Department of Agricuiture is claimed by M. H. De Young of California and Sam- uel W. Allerton of Mlinois. - ++ For Divorce. Annie M. Benerman, whose maiden name was Lorch, a clerk in the Post Office De- partment, today applied for divorce from Wm. A. Benerman. The parties were mar- ried here at the Union Mission February 26, 1894, and Mrs. Benerman charges her husband with cruelty, drunkenness, non- support and desertion. No children have been born to them. - Attorney F. R.

First, that the contract with the Potomac company would not be signed until after the motion for appeal had been decided by the Court of Appeals. Second, that the Commissioners would co-operate with the United States Electric Company in obtaining the appeal. It was at @ special meeting of the board this morning that these two important lines of action were decided upon. Shortiy be- fcre 11 o'clock Special Attorney Worthingz- ton, who has represented the District in the case, appeared before Major Powell to talk over the case. The other Commissioner were sent for, and the meeting was held Major Powell's private office. Attor Worthington brietly explained the case as far as it had progressed, and talked at length upcn the inotions for an appeal. He explained that it was not proper to grant an appeal in the case, but it was optional with the Court of Appeals to grant such a mouon, He rehearsed his appearance be- fore the court yesterday, and repeated for the benefit of the Commissioners the lan- guage cf the chief justice concerning the appeal, during which he suggested that the Ccmmissicrers take no action looking to a delivery of the contract until after the mo- tion fcr appeal had been decided. While the court had issued no order, he thought that its suggestion should be foi- lowed, and the contract he not executed Gnul after the court had decided the mv- tion. If the motion were sustained, then, cf course, the Commissioners would be ccmpelled to wait until the appeal had been decided. ‘The Commissioners discussed the matte briefly among themselves, and then de cided, as predicted in The Star yesterday, that they would not sign the contract un- tl the court had acted. Attorney Worthington spoke of the de\ ion of Judge Cole and commented upon its scope. It was a big question, ne thought, and one which materially affected the District. He suggested that the Commis. sioners decide upon what course he should pursue with reference to the motions of the United States Electric Lighting Com- pany for an appeal. He thought it would be well to favor these motions, because the District wanted a final opinion upon the case, one which would settle the question. nanissioner Ross thought it a good plan, and the other Commissioners agreed it was the better plan.
