Allen, an old settler in Douglas county, in answering the ques— tions as to whether this country had ever experienced severer weather than that of the present wincer, glves some interest- ing polnts with reference to the winter of 1856-7, which, he saya, was far colder than the present one. He had with him at the time a gentle- man who kept a daily record of the weather, and 1t is said that many times the mercury fell toa point lower than thirty degrees below zero, while the average was about twenty degrees. During tho four months of December, January, February and March, this cold weather was experienced, almoet without any intermission, The ground, mora over, was covered with four to five feet of snow, packed perfectly tight without drifting. The river, too, was frozen sol- id all the time, with 206 inches of ice The suffering in Omaha and vicinity was intense and it is probable that the winter will not be duplicated very soon In that re- spent, Strange to say, however, there were no deaths in this immedlate lccall- ty from freezlng, though the chances for such fatalities were intinitely great. Mr. Allen at that tlme lived at Fort Calhoun, aboutsixteen miles from this city. He tells of an amusing cir- cumstance in connection with the cold weather, of how he sent a young man to Oouncil Bluffs to purchase groceriesfor the Fort Calhounites, whose perlodically re- plenished stock of groceries had run un- usually low. Delayed by the heavy snow fall underfoot, the blinding snow storms overhead, the young man consumed elght days In trayeling the thirty- three mifol of the trip. Fortunately, however, despite the iuflaences of the arciic weather, he finally arrived at the fort with the provisions and was received with joy, especlally by his family, who bad given him up for lost. Reader, who thinkest to compare the present winter with the arctic winters of Siberia, ponder! e ——— Real Estate Transfers, The following transfers were filed In the ocounty clerk’s ofice Thursday aad reported for Tar Bee by the Ames’ real estate agency January 31, 1885, J B Whittior to C A Clowry, 2¢ d lot 6 blk 43 $450.

Mr. Livesey thought it would do no harm to rent the building for the pur- pose indlcated. Mr. Points agreed with the first speak- er, and thought that the buildings should not be used for any other use than that origlnally Intended. Mr. Gibbon said that he was notin favor of allowing school property to be used for sectarlan purposes. Superintendent James expressad him- self on the subject, agroeing with the last two speakers, These requests would come in very frequently, and it would be opening a very wide door in a\!nw_mg the petitioners 'the use of the building, as requested.

Needham of $45. A supplemeniary report suggestod that it was inexpedient at present to in- troduce German into the schools. In connection with the subject of a reeignation of one the night school teach- ers the general subject of night schools was taken up for discussion, Superinterdent James being called upon, said that the three night schools were doing falrly well and had scored more than average success, The attend- ance in total was from 60 to 100, It would hardly pay to run the night schools after the end of the present month, It was decided to allow the night school to run until the end of the present month, Mr, Fisher's resignation a3 teacher of the Thirteenth street school, was referred to committee on teachers and text bouks. From committce on buildings and property, recommending that iron etair- ways be placed on the northern portion of the High Schoul bullding and that two standpipes be erected, and that fur‘her— mors, the children be compelled to go through a *‘fire drill” st regular intervals, without first being apprised whether the alarm of fire was genuine or fictitious, The subject was discussed at some length, Mr, Copeland thought that the drill ought to be held mora frequently thau once a month, Mr, Parker said that it would be wrorg to allow the drill to be given without telling the children that the alarm of fire wasfictitious. After 8 warm dlecusslon, the question was called for and the adoption of the report of the committee (¢xcept that por- tion referring to fire-drill, which will be left to the discretion of superintendent and teachers) was secured without dis- sent, From same committee, recommending the psyment of 4 claim presented by Du- frene & Mondelssohn, for repairs on High School building to the amount of §566 6.

A Lot of Hack Drivers Who Care Not For Life and Limb, There arein Omaha & number of hack drivers who have no regard for the life and limb of pedestrians, They dash through the streets with their reins banglng loose and whip in hand and it is almost as much as ono's life is worth to attempt to cross the street in front of one of these modern ‘‘Jehus.” No matter who is crosilng the strest, whether it be lady or gentleman, itis all the same to them and on they go and the poor pedestrlan must look out for him or herself. A few of these imperti- nent and careless foilows should be ar- rested and given to understand that the citizons of Omaha have some rights which they are bound to respect. Not aloue are tho back drivers to be censured, but there are several careless drivers among those who claim to beloug to the *‘upper ten” and they at least should be given o understand that ladles do not usually wear dresses upon the streets to have them splashec all over with mud. If you must drive fast, at THE DAILY BEE-FUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1885, WHOLES: LE POISONING. Twenty-Three PGTSUDS Poisoned by Rough on Rals, All Former Oases of Poisoning in These Parts Thrown in the Shade. A onse of poisoning has came to light in this city, which throws all former onses away back in the shade, and mikes the old Lucretin Borgla racket seem as an Idle tale, At 1814 Dodge strect, lives the family ¢f Mr. C. B. Moores. Mr, Moores is engaged as bookkeeper at down town grocery store and Mrs, Moores keeps a boarding house at the above number, On Friday evenlng last, as the family and boarders were roated at supper, the sugar bowl was passed to one of the gen- tleman boarders. The gentleman noticed that the sugar was slightly dis colored and called the attentlon of the landlady’s daughter who was seated next to him, to the fact, The daughter called in the servant and had the sugar removed from the table, Before the eugar was taken from the table, however, two or threo of tho hoarders had partaken of it and shortly after supper they were taken {ll. The attack did not prove of a serious nature and nothing wes thought of it. The sugar which was removed from the table K'ridsy evening was used in the manufacture of the pastry for the Sunday dinner. All of the boarders, the mem- bers of the fimily and the two servants partook of the pastry and a_short timo aft r dinner all were taken {ll. Several of the young gentlemen who had gone out to call upon their best gils were obliged to cut short their visits and return bome to join the rest of the occupints of tho house in a vomiting matinee. And a vomiting matinee it was, They all “heaved up Jonah” until it seemed as if their very boots would come up. Dr. R. M. Stone was sent for and (‘g hastening to the place found twenty-three persons all of whom gave eigns of poison— ing from arsenic. He ascertained that they had had canned frult and supposed that tho polson had come from that source. Upon ex:mination, however, he found that ecv exal of the boarders who had not partaken of tho canued fruit, were just ag ill a3 any of tLe others. He was told about the discolyred sugar and called for somo of therough on rats and after mixing it with the sugar shoved ‘t to the partias who Falseen the discolored sugar and they at once pronounced it as the same thing as that which had been in theysugar bowl Friday night. 1t nowdawned ‘upon all that they had been poisoned by rough on rate, as the discolored sugar had been used in the manafacture of pastry. Antidotes were at once administered and the patientas were soon all right with 5 | the exception of Miss Ogden, a clerk in the Union Pacific headquarters, who is threatened with inflimmation of the stomach from the affects of the poison. . Among those who partook of the poison were, Miss Ogden, Woolcott and Irvine, lawyers; the Meesrs, Foster, who nre employed in the Omaha National b nk; Messre. Snow and Welsh, of the Glee club; Messrs. Barck, Block and Cochran, all the members of Mr. Moore's tamlily and the two servants. Mrs. Moores says that she had used least pull up at the street crossings and do not allow your horses to throw slop all over everybody. e —— Ladies !

It is suppozed that it must have fallen down and got mixed np in some way with the sugar. It was a most lucky etcape for all and should be a warning to all persons to be most carefal in the handling of poison, 1t is certainly a very careless trick to leave rough on rate, or any other poiscn lying around where there can be any possibility of its being mixed up inang way with the food. Rough on ratsis notonly good for what it is intended, but is very bad to be eaten by human beings, and is ex— ceedingly rough on men and women. e ————— Smoke Seal of North Qarolina Tobac co. “‘GROUND HOG DAY.” Day Upon Which the Ground Hog| Crawls Outof His Hole and Takes a Look at Nature, The Yesterday was the second of February, accordivg to an old tradition is the day upon which the ground hog crawls out of his hole in the earth, in which he has spent the winter time, and takes a look at nature. If the sun is not shining and the knowing animal cannot see his shadow he concludes that the hardest part of winter is past avd it will bo perfectly safe for him to remain upon top of ground and take his chances along with the rest of creatlon, But, on the con- trary, if the face of the sun s not veiled by a friendly cloud and the ground hog is permitted to gaze upon his own shadow, he quietly and quickly goes through the mazy wicdings of the ‘‘shadow dance,” and then dives down deep agasin into the bowels of mother earth, for he is thor. onghly convinced that, for six long weeks old boreas will hold dominion over the face of the esrth and* that his majesty, the ground hog,canuot find a single grain of comfortin such a rule, The day has come, and with it came the beauty, The friendly cloud failed to put in anappearance in tlme to save the ground-hog from seelng his shadow, and hence it may be set down as a settled fact that six weeks more of cold weather will vislt this country. The second dasy of February is com’ monly known as *‘Candlemas day.' Candlemas is a church festival, held on the 2d of February, which has in Scot- land been chosen as one of the four term days, The festival commemorates the purification of the Virgin; and the ob- gervance to which it owes its name, viz, the lighting of candles, and, in the Roman Catholic church, the consecra tlon of the candles which are eaid to be used during the year for eccleslastical purposes, are sald to have an emblematic reference to the prophecy of Simeon that the child Jeeus should become ‘*a light to lighten the Gentiles,” The institution of this feast dates proba- bly from the relgn of Justinian, and the yoor 042 Is sometimes fixed upon as that of its first celebration, It 1s eupposed to have grown out of the heathen festivals held in this month,—a view of which Is supported by the following consid: tions: (1) The word February (o nected with februare) denotes purifica tion; (2) in this month the purification of the peeple took place; (3) the rights of the Lupercalia, which were celebrated on bright sun of heaven in all his resplendent | * the 15th, Incladed the lighting of candles, in alluston to those used by Ceres in hor search for Proserpine; and (4), the origin of other Christian feasts Appears to have heen similar. — POLICE COURT. A Large Grist for Grindin torday Morning, In police court yesterday there were a number of cases for trial and the space outslds of the ralling was completely packed with spectators, all eraning their necks to get a glimpse of some poor un- fortunate who had fallen into the clatches of the law. G. A, Roberts and Mart Connolly were each fined 85 and costs for disturbance of the peacs by belng drunk, Tom McGroggor was fined and cost forbelng drank. By referonce to the records {t was found that he had an old sentence of fifteon daya on bread and water atanding sgalnet him and this was added tfo the new one—and the proba- bility is that Tom won’t got out feom bo- hind the bars until ““The Reubens nest again.” Belle Sanford, a notorfous colored pres tltute, pleaded not guilty to distarbance of the peace and her case was continued. Belle Harris, for being an Inmate of a house of prostitution, was fined 3 and costs. Lou Catliff, on a like charge, was fined €5 and costa, Mike Gilligan and Charles Fisher wers charged with fighting. Both pleaded not gollty and their cases wore continued. Frank Geaber was arrested at the in- stance of his wife, for dlsturbance of the peace. He gave bail to keep the peace. C. J. Oakley slept with John 8. Smith Sunday night and arising in the morning found that he had been robbed of $8. He had Smith arrested and in police court he pleaded guilty and was sen- tenced to twenty days in the county jail on bread and water, Yes A BAD FALL. Francis Turnica Suffers a Bevere Fracturo to His Left Leg, Sunday cvening as Francis Turnica, an architect employed in the office of the Union Pacific railroad, livingcorner Eigh— centh fand California streets, met with a severe accident, which will lay him up for sometime to come. Just as ho was nearing his home he stepped into a bad hole in a miserable old sidewalk, and fell sideways to the ground. EHo is a very large man and probably weighs 250 pounds. The forea of the fall broke both ones in his left leg, just above the ankle, He was carrled wto the house and Dr. Lee was summoned. The physician re- duced the fracture and made the sufferer as comfortable as possible under the cir- camstances, In the fall Mr. Turnica’s forehead was badly cut up and he sus- tained numerous brutses. He wil be confined to his room for several months. It Is more than likely that the city of Omaha will be called upon to pay the damsge caused by a defective sidewalk and it is safe to say that Mr. Turnica will not accept any small som as sufficient compensation for his injurios.
