About midnight last night a frerring eleet storm set in extending gouthward to an unknown diatance, and esstward to Buffalo. The wires bacame encrusted and weighted with ico and began goiog down one by one, tiil at daylight the city is practically out off on an arc beginning at Bt. Louis on the aouthwest and sweoping eastward including &l the country east of the Mississippi river and south of the chain of the groat lakes. At this hour only one wira i3 working hetwsen Chicago and New York, and even that is under fre- quent {nterruption. Broken wires have fallen acroes those not broken, causing an inextricable confusion, To add to the dificulties of the situation, trains eastward arefblockaded. Snow is not very deep, but it is composed of little round particles of sleet through which the wheeiing is like wheeling through sand, so that engines with men to repair the broken lines cannot be sent out. All the messages roceived are kcbject to delay, Dlspatches to the associated press from Washington, Now York, Cincinnati, St. Louis and all tributary poluts are entirely cut off. The grain market of Toledo has only a measege through to this hour. The telegraph company furnishes no en- couragement for materially improved service before to-morrow.

The Kansas Roliing Mill rorced to Suepena, Epecial Divpatch te Tun Dax, Kansas Cury, February 4.—The Kaneas rolling mills, in the suburb of Rosedale, closed Saturday morning. For the past three ntonths the mill has been somewhat straightened, in- fluenced, it ¢s said, by the general de. pression in the iron trede, and for two months has been running upen re. duced time. The stock was owned chiefly by A. B. Stono, Amasa Stone, W. H. Harrls and D. Peels, of Cleve: land, The works are closely allled with the Unlon Steel works of Chica- go, ani were more or less affected by that failure The liabilitles secured and unse- oured, as nearly as cau be learned, are about§600,000. The assets,the offi- cors state, are ample to cover all in- debtedness. The plant is worth about §600;800. A meeting will be held next Tuesday. It is confidently stated an arrangement will be made for an early resumption of work, Theso mills are among the largest west of the Mississippi and have been in operation since 1874, and employed about-$0 men. The Kansas rolling mill company 1s the largest manufactartog concern in Kansas, its works being located at Rosedale, on the Kne of the Kansas City, Fort Scott sad Gulf road, It has a capital stock of about-§600,070, whicb is maialy held by A. B. Stone, of New York; Awesa Stone, W, H, Hare!s and D Eeds, of Clevelsnd, O., and the officers are as follows: Presi- dent, A. B. Stone; vice-president, Ira Harris: treasurer, W. H. Harrls; sec- retary, E. V. Wilkes; attorney, Wal- lace Pratt. The directors are A. B. Stone, of New York; W. H. {arris, of Cleveland; D. P. Eeds, of -Cleve- land; Ira Harris, B. 8. Matthias, . K. Jones, of Bosedale, and E. V. Wilkes and Wallace Pratt, of Kan- sas Cigy. The business of the com- pany during the past few years has been wery extensive, the emgloyes numbering about 500 and the product of the will since 187¢, in dollars and cents, is about as follows: In 1880, $1,047,000; 1881, $1,017,000; 1582, about §750,000 The decrease in 1882 was because the company gave up the manufacsure cof rails, save for atreat railways, and corfined itself wholly to the manwfacture of merchant iron and *‘chicken feed,” Daring the past three months the company here, like other lazgo concerns throughout the country, kas been somewhas cramped for fands, but a few weeks aince Col. W. H. Hseris, treasurer of the vom- pany and & large stockholder, came on from Cleveland and the finagces and affairs of the concern were placed on auch a faoting that no trouble was) anticlpated. Mr. A. B. Stone, how- ever, who is president of the Eansas company, aleo occupies the same posi tion with the Uaion: Iren mgo::d Works cf Chicago, in which he is said to be a holder of stock to the amount of about §606 600, and this fact was looked on as sufficlent to predict the failure of the home company. To be supa, the four largest stockholders of the Union Mills are also the four largest stockholders of the Kansas company, but, with the exception of Mr A, B Stone, this fact makes no diffsrence as to the financial strength of the laet-named corporation.
