(&) FIRST STORM OF THE SEASO The Blizzard of 1888 Celebrates Its Second Anniversary. ALL TRAVEL GREATLY DELAYED. Stroet Car Lines Forced to Susp nd Operations—Trains Several Hours Benind Time ~ Clearing In the West, Yesterday's Biizzard, The people of Omaha and Nebraska had decasion yesterday to remember vividly tue terrible blizzard of January i2, two years The second anniversary of that memorabie storm was celebratod by another almost as severe locally, and the first of any consequence since then. It commence blowing and snowing about daylighy yeste day morning and has continued with in- creased fury up to this morning. As yot, however, it is impossible to predict what the result will be. A heavy vorth wind carried the fine white stuff along u it struck some sheltered spot to fall and pi up in great drifts, By durk last evening the ago. streets in many places were almost block- uded and comparatively deserted. At noon tno car tracks were 80 buried that motor cars could not run, and the Mercer as well us nad to be abandoned. By the aid of sweep~ ors, and couvling three or four motors tagether, the Sixteenth street line was kept open until 8 o'clock, but the snow drifted so budly and filled jup the openings so_quickly that all efforts to keep them open failed Every traim_on the various railronds con- ing in Omaha arrived last evening, but were from one to three hours behind and those going out started on their respective journeys, though tne outlook for £oing through or gettiflg very far was most discouraging. Snow plows went ahead of them, though on the cust and west roads deep'cuts are tilled full of snow, sull it had not nad time to pack down close and become heavy. Ieports received by Observer Welch of the United States sigual service at 8 o'clock last night snowed that the storm had _ceased in wouthern Dakota and western Nebrasku. 'ms weather was clear and the wind very light. Mr. Welch stated that the lowoest tempor- ature since midnight Saturduy was 5 degrees above zero, and the highest temperature U degrees above zero. At ‘clock last the temperature was7 degroes ubov eind was blowing with a velocit ~two miles per hour, that being bridge line systems the highest veloeity reached during the storm, A careful estimate of the umount of snowfall places it at about five inches. The day 4 bard one on the street car motor and cable lines, Cars ran irrogularly ali day, and on tho motor hnes trailers were not even thought of. So much difficulty was experienced in making any headway that two und sometimes three motors wero coupled together. On the front platforms two men were stationed with switch irons, which they ueld to the raiis to scrape the snow off.~ The snowplows wers of little use, for the snowflakes were fulling 80 thickly and drifting so badly that insige of five minutes after the plow was used the track was in as baa condition as ever. Towards nightfall it was cvident that the cars would have to stop ruaning. Shortly after noon the carson the bridgo line be- came stallod and it took nearly two hours o get back tothe power house at Council Bluffs. The machinery was then stopped. Just at dusk the horee'car drivers recoived orders to head for the car barns, and some drivers whose cars were staliea before this time anticipated the order, and, hitching their horses to the rear of the cars, started for shelter, The cable Lines stopped running about 6 p.m The cars on the North Twenty-fourth and Hanscom Park lines were the next to sue- cumb, and with difficulty the motormen . guided them to the power house on Nine- teenth and Nicholas streets, The cars on . tne Walnut Hill and South Eleventh street lino stopped running about the same time, At7p. m, only one line in_the city was in operation, and that was the Sherman avenue and South Omaha line; but orders were issued at that time for the motormen to come into the barn as fast as they arrived, and they gladly complied with the mandate. At midnight the Union Pacitic and tho B, & M. ronds reported having very little aifi- culty on account of the snow. The tram on the Union Pacific which was due at 4 o'clock did not arcivo until nearly midnight, but thig train was reported late from the \yest and was not delayed by tho storm of this «division. The Fremont & Elkhorn road had their W plows out all day and trains were only shightly deluyed, At the Police Station, Drifts of the beautiful four and five feet high were piled in & wholly undisturbed pha- lanx in front of the main entrance to the cenral police station ut 11 o'clock last night. This fact was the best indication possible that scarcely & person had entered or loft that vilely odored place for fuliy four hours prior to “the time mentioned. The officers who were insido staid there and hugged the radiators in true lordly fashion, while those on the outside found no cause which they could imagine beiug acceptable to their superiors for showing themsclves at the place, No storm catastrophies of any sort wers reported to or by the police and they all nleelnctl most devoutly happy that such was the fact. —— YOUR TEACHERS, Rev. W. J. Harsha's Sermon Before the Omaha Commercial College, The Rev. W. J. Harsha delivered the fol- lowiug sermon before the students of the Omaba Commercial cellege last night: The passago to which 1 would direct your attention, youug people of the commercial collegn, 15 to bo found in tue ninth chapter of Ecclesiastics and fifteenth verse: **Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and 1 ho by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man," Solomon is here eulogizing wisdom, It is natural for auy man to praise that particular quality of urtin which he himself excels; and Solowon, the man of wisdom, but acts upon this prciple in defending that which he prayed for aud so richly received. In downg .80 he selects an 1llustration from the cam- Daign of a king, He tells of a little city that had long been pursuing its arts aud indus- tries in a quiet vestling valley. The atten- tion of the inhabitants had largely been di- rected toward ncquirfng wealth with which to adorn their homes and smooth their liv Walks and gardens had engrossed their care rvather than wars and garrisous, The plaut- ing of trees had seewed more important than the planting of batteries; the tending of fountaius ruther than the shooting up of alarm rockets, ‘Thus grown rich, they were regarded as precious prey by @ neighboring king, who also saw iu their unwarhke habits a promise of easy victory. Tidings of his intentions were brought to the city by some of the traders who tocked for stores to the mer- chauts. Now there were in that city brag- garts who cried: *Ho! Ho? the king cannot conquer ua, for we will ourselves d you out todo him battle, and who can stand against us!” But when the king actually cawmo to the walls it was observed that those braggarts had taken themselves into hiding, and no man could find them. Then a poor ‘wise man stopped out and said: “‘Let ten of your best men come to wy shoe-bench and I Will tell them what 1 have been thinking as 10 & means of escape from the king and his arwies.” Accordingly the ten wen went and the poor wise wan unfolded his plans, and they seemed 80 prudent that the ten men raised a shout, and the people took it up snd it was cchoed all along the sireots, and the armies of the king outside the walls heard the sbout and they all took to their heels, for they supposed that the roonla of the little city bad received re- nforcements.

Tois extraordinary volume contained the travels and adventures of Charles Mayius, a noble Venctian, and yet there was not a word in it. The book was made up of eighteen pages of most beautiful paintings upon vellum, some of them by the hand of Paul Veronese. Here in pictured form the whole life of the ble Venetian was presented. His being captured by the Ottomans, his sale as a slave into Egypt, his hardships in slavery, his journeys in £ , his pilgrimage to Jerusalem and his return to Venice after being ransomed, where he found his enemies triumphant but his friends faithful: all this the painter's brush most vividly and beautifully related. It 18 such a powe this that I covet. [ wish that [ coula present to your mind’s eye Ly vivid means what imvortant teachers your experiences ought to be to you in scek- ing success in life. ~ Your experiences will, of course, be divided into successes and fail- ures, both of which shoula be made useful 10 you. At first you will probably have few of the first and many of the second, bu JOu progress your successes will bocomo more numerous and your trying and disap- pointing slips more few. Ho sure that cven ur failures help you onward. When Cmsar W walk: oun the seashore one day he stumbled, Now if he had failen to the side where tho heathen dwelt it would has veen regarded as an evil omen by bis super- stitious followers. But he cast himself head long toward Rowme, thus changing the omen into a good one and binding more firmly the ardor of his men o s genius. Thus do you try to make even your falls and failures help you onward in the good opinion of your fei- low men, and thrust you, albeit rudely, to- ward the Rome of high success, ‘Turn over another vellum leaf of your life and let us find another picture of a helper to you. ‘U'he central figure in this scene is the printing press, and_surrounaing it we sce boxes of type, editors’ table: reporters’ memorandum books, and the busy distributiog boys. Yes, the press is one of your most cfficient teachers, Time was when the stump, the platform and the pulpit were almost the only instructors of the masses. Books were ponderous volumes stored mostly in innccessible mon- asteries; and of such a thing as a daily or weekly press the people had not the slightest conception. BBut now the world is largely moulded by it. With marvellous energy every part of the world is searched for news; with wondrous cheapness the main facts of the world’s work are laid ot your elbow: with speed and accuracy the prices of the great markets are brought to the mer- chant and trader: and full treatises on sci- ence, art, hterature and religion are pres seuted for daily. perusal. Marvellous edu- cator! Well did Anthony Troilope call the press a Jupiter fulminating irresistible thunder-bolts out of a concealed Olympus. Another great teacher for you is observa- tion. Open your eyes. They were made to beoven, It isonly when you are sleeping or dead that they should be closed. You live in @ wondrous time and in the most in- teresting country the sun shines on. Keep the run of the movements of the world. Bar- nard Palissy was the better potter because he studied carefully the reformation usder Luther occurring iu his time, Hugh Miller was the better practical geclogist because he followea y the great discussions be- tween christianity and its enemies and the disruptions of "the Scottish secis and churches. The poor wise man could go back to the sewing of his sundals with better grace and could put into them more honest and eflicient stitches because he had freed the livtle city from the armies of the great king. So 1say to you, watch the movements of the world, have your eyes opea upon the scenery in which you move, get from the faces of your friends a constant help and stimulus. From every river tearn steadiness of tlow, from every bhill learn elevation of churacter, from every tree learn the happiness of growth and need of bearing fruit for the blessing of the na- tions. Other teachers are your companions, your lovers, and indeed your fellowmen generally, Study human nature, Book knowledge is g0od but man knowledge is better. And do not fail 1o get the thought that thore is sush @ thing as universal experience. There are many things you must find out for your- sclves, but there are a few things of which the world speaks to you with authority, There are certain couclusions that all men have found true, all the his- tory of the past is behind them. For exum. ple, universal experience Las showa the ad- vantages of honesty. Taken in connection with the future world it is surely the best policy. All men know that no one can sin and escape punishment. Your sin will find you out. These are specimens of the wreat conclusions the world has arrived at, and if you would be truly successful you must act upon them. And 'do not forget that the vast voice of mankind is in favor of a God, an immortality and o blessed gospel. Why not accept this testimony of the great and #ood of all ages! Maun hmps throdgn the world on two crutches, time and space; but these shall be snatched away and where shall e fallf 1nto nothing?! Ah no, into an immortality of happiness or misery. This is the world's great testimuny. If then all souls, both good and bad, @o teach \‘Vu.hi geueral voico that souls can never aie, 'Tis not man’ speech, Whieh, like God’s oracle, can never lie, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and act out your belief i the world; this 1s the DOOr Wise manu's counsel thal saves a litile eartn from & yast perdition. - CHRIS ('S YOUTH. , but nature's flattering glos Rov.

The father and brother of foung Lathrop, who committed suicide iv this city last Fri day afternoon, arrived yesterday and ar- ranged to tako the body back this morning to the old home, Oskaloosa, Ia., for inter~ ment, They called on Coroner Harrigan yos- terday afternoon, and were daoply interested in learning all the more minute details ro- garding the sad affair. The father is a well- to-do appearing farmer, and dur ing the course of his conversation with the coroner said that o was abund- antly able to have heiped s son out of his financial difficult and would have done 80 instantly had he but known that the poor boy needed help. He safd that the deceased had always been proud spirited and would, he thought, have parted with his right arm before telling uny one of his financial dis- tress and asked for md. When he wrote home it was always in roseate colors, and saying thut ho was getung along all right. He had always been particularly sensitive on the matter of his finauces, and this reason and also becas he always painted everything so brightly, had kept the parent and brother from ever asking him whether or not he needed any help. Although Mr. Lathrop, sr., was greatly overcomo with grief at the terrible affair, yet before quitting tho presence of Coroner Harrigan the latter learned that the father bad a deep and bitter feeling in the matter of the action of the loan institution in the Barker block toward his son, and that he Will let the matter rest after a new grave has been made in Oskaloosa is not at all probable.

Nichols, late of the Fourteenth Michigun cavalry, and states that Nichols had been shunned by his old comrades because while in Andersouville vrison he had, while acting as sheriff of the prisoner’s court-martial, hanged ten fellow prisoners who were convicted of steal- ng rations from their companions in prisou. The statement creates much indig- nation hore, because a number of the men who were actors in the Andersoaville hang- ing live here and know that there is not & word of truth in the story. Ivory H. Pike, member of the legisiattre from this and Eaward Kerrigan, slso of this city, both witnessed the execution of the six (not ten) condemned men, Kerrigan took part in it as un assistant sheriff. Mr. I snid toda “It was Leroy L. Key, quartermaster sergeant of Company M, Sixteanth Illinois cavalry, who was ap- pointed executioner and hanged the men. He was aprioter who enlisted from this city, and after the war lived at Springfield until his death, a few years ago. Peter McCul- lough, also of Bloomington, a member of the Eighth Missouri infautry, was judge advo- cate of the court-martial which sen- tenced the culprits, 1 was in the same mess with Key and McCullough and slept with them, and 1 was one of the guards whno kept order while the hanging was going on.
