The Experience of the Passengers and
Crew of a Railroad Train.
Sr. I-oiis, Ffb. l.'J.Th pt-uger train
which left Chicago on the Wabash road la.-t
Suuday Liht arrived here thi m-riiiag with
as weary and dtsgrJnih-d a lot of pa.---eugvrs
as have arrived ut the Union depot for many
a day. Their experience s constitute a strange
recital of sufT rin an I adventures in view
of the country they came through. The
train was atwut two hours out of Chicago
when it rati into a heavy -now drift, in which
the engine was puwi rh s. 'I he -now was
soon piled as high as the car-, both ahead of
the train and behind it, and for three da)
and nearly four nights the pastngers were
virtually prisoner. Lver thing that was
eatable aboard the train was moii consumed,
and relief parties of pa.-.-euyers and train
men were neat out to the farm bouse, which
dot tho prairie ato'ig at intervals there, to
gather supplies, i'nee-i for provisions went
up to a remarkable figure and the days were
long and dreary. Nobody starved and no
body froze, but everybody was fairly worn
out by the imprisonment. Wt dnesday night
another train from Chicago reached the
sufferers, and the two engines managed to
break through th drifts, after another day
and a half of work.
A MYSTERIOUS CAVE.
Hunters Discover the Retreat of -the
Noted Bandit Murrel.
Nashville, Feb. IX A genuine sensation
was created iu this State to-d ly by the dis
covery iu Carroll county of tho supposed
cave of John A Murrel, the celebrated mur
derer, robber, forger, counterfeit! r and
bandit, who was the terror of this Western
country atout fifty years ago. The cave is
situated on the farm of W. C. DIair, and was
di-coered by a party of hunters. When the
hunters first entered the cave a largj num
ber of bats and owls flew out, many falling
to the ground when the air struck them.
Lanterns were procured and on exam
ining the rixmi was found to be
ceiled with rough boatds, and in one corner
the hunters were horrified to find the skele
ton of a man chained to thetloor and several
heuvy wtKxlen chairs and a largo table, on
which lay a deck of plaj ing cards. Deneath
the table was the skeleton of a woman, also
chained to the lloor. On the wall was w rit
ten, yet plain enough to be rei'd, "John A.
Murrell, ImIV Several pairs of handcuffs,
two large knives, two dried-np frames of
large bloodhounds, were also conveyed.
Large numbers of people visited the cave,
but a few have had courage to enter it.
THE TAMMANY CHIEF.
His Health Still Unimproved and His
Situation Critical.
New Yons, Feb. II. John Kelly, the
Tammany leader, has been ill for some time,
and has taken no part in public affairs. A
special to the Drooklyn Enjh' this afternoon
from Itockaway Deech, says that Kelly hav
ing expressed a strong belief in tho air cure
for him, he was brought to that place re
cently by his friends, and spent several days
at the Waters Hotel. His hopes were not
realized, however, and finding that he was
growing worse instead of better, his physi
cian decided to take him back to Yew York.
He left for this city to-day on a special train.
His condition is said to be critical.
A Costly License.
St. Louis, Feb. YX Frank Hanneman,
tho keeper of a saloon at ISIS North Droad
way, was fined $0,000 by Judge Dennison for
keeping his saloon without a license. It ex
pired January at which time a remon
strance against further maintenance of the
concern was circulated in the block, and re
ceived the signatures of a largo majority of
the householders. Ho continued to carry on
his business in hope that something could
be done to induce his opponnts to abate their
opiosition. They entered a prosecution
against him to force him out. Every day of
keeping open constituted a new offense, and
yesterday the Court fined him xiXXJ in each
of twenty cases.
"For Women Must Weep."
Grand Haven, Feb. lo. Tho steamer Wis
consin is about six miles off this harbor and
prevented from entering by the blockade of
ice. Her commander, Capt. McGregor, will
bring her in if it can bo done. Tho Michi
gan has not been heard frorn since Monday,
and there is great anxiety. The Oneida is
in port. The storm has abated. Nothing
but a strong erst wind will break np the ice.
The Blockade Raised.
Kalamizoo, Feb. hi. The temperature
hereabouts last night was 'js3 below zero; at
noon 2 below. Freight trains are not re
sumed in this section, bul pa-isenger trains
are running as "usnal except one north and
south road, which is running half the usual
complement. The snow blockade on the
South Havm road, running from lie re was
raised last night after three days' duration.

CLEVELAND'S CALLERS.
NO INTERVIEWS AFTER MONDAY.
A Party of Grand Rapids Democrats
Pay Their Respects to Cleveland
and Manning.
Ai-Jianv, N. Y., Feb. 1 .5. 1 1 is certain that
up to this time Cleveland has made no ten
der of Cabinet positions either orally or by
letter to any person. He has made himelf
familiar with the opiuious of leading mem
bers of the Democratic parjy, and is consid
ering the 'matter quietly. Vhu only callers
to-day at lus Willett street residtuco were a
delegation from Michigan and Judge Abbott,
Do-don. It is thought that Senator Daniel
W, Yoorhees (the Tall Svcamoreof the Wa
bash) will be here to-morrow morning,
although it whs stated this evening on good
authority that it was not certainly known
that he was coming. The time of Cleveland
has been almost wholly taken up idnco his
return from New York by people who for the
mot part have called only to pay their re
spects. A party of gentlemen from Grand
Kapids, wlio were members of the Cleveland
and Hendricks club of that place, asked that
they be accorded a half hour's interview.
They will be here to-morrow or Monday.
After Monday Cleveland will absolutely de
cline to see anyone, without exception, as he
feels that he must have some time to him
self. The Michigan delegation, after calling
on Cleveland, paid their respects to Manning
and assured him they should be pleased at
his appointment to and acceptance of tho
lortfolio of Secretary of the Treasury. Man
ning paid he wished no position and it would
be more in accordance with his desire not
to take any. Many of his friends here,
however, believe he will finally accept tho
position.
VAS3AR IS SCORCHED.
A List of the Firms Who Suffer from
the Devouring Flames.
Yassab, Mich., Feb. 13. The greatest fire
Yassar has over seen broke out in the upper
story of the Driggs block at 1 o'clock this
morning, caused by a defective Hue. The
firms burned out by the fire were: Hough
Sisters, millinery, stock insured for 1,000;
nearly all saved. Mrs. J. W. Driggs, millin
ery; loss on building 2.7); insured. II. C.
Ripley, loss on buildiug $1,200; insured for
$1,000. J. W. Driggs, jewelry; loss $1,400;
insured for $l,;ViO. I. W. Sutfln, sewing

furnishing and fancy goods; loss S100 to $200;
insured $1,000. J. H. Nunn, loss $.TO0: in

$('.00; insnred $:.". H. D. Tibbits, photo
grapher; stock saved with slight loss. K. J.
Hovey, dentist; loss 000: no insurance. F.
Doums, justice, loss light: covered by insur
ance. A family named Dowen, who occur
pied rooms in the Ripley block, lost part of
their furniture. Dut for snow on the roofs
of bnildings nearly the vhole town would
have been destroyed. The burned district
will bo rebuilt. Yassar needs more adequate
fire protection.
Indiana Bound to be Recognized.
Washington, Feb. l.'k Senator Deck has
prepared a memorial, which has been signed
by a majority of the Democratic Senators,
urging the appointment of Mr. McDonald
for the cabinet. The memorial will be for
warded to Mr. Cleveland to night. In course
of a couple of days Senator Yoorhees will
visit Mr. Cleveland at the head of the Indi
ana delegation, in the interest of
Mr. McDonald.- The latter gentle
man's friends had advised this action to
offset the evil influence of Mr. Hen
dricks, which they are convinced is being
secretly used against McDonald. They say
if Hendrieks would only make an honest,
sincere request for McDonald, Cleveland
would appoint him, but so far Hendricks has
simply damned him with faint praise. Mc
Donald's friends here have become very
much worked np on tho matter. ' Unless Mr.
McDonald is appointed to a Cabinet place
there will be a serious split in the camp of
the Indiana Democracy.
A Murderer in Luck.
Philadelphia, Feb. 12. Dr. Goeren,
whoso execution was fixed for March r, next,
for tho murder of his wife's mother-in-law
by poisoning, will probably escape the gal
lows. Sadie Sonder, a niece of Goerzen's
deceased wife, upon whoso testimony tho
acensed was convicted, made a confession in
which she swears that the story she told at
both trials was false, that she was coerced
into committing perjury by her aunt's
brother, Joseph Souder. Sadie Souder will
Wednesday next appear before the Doard of
Pardons at Harrisbnrg and corroborate what
she has sworn. The probability is that
Goerzen's sentence will be commuted to im
prisonment for life.

LYON STREET'S GRAND FUTURE.
Some of the New Buildings and Im
provements Contemplated for it.
Amoiig many other improvements contem
plated for Lyon ftrtet the coming aeon Wm.
T. Poers is making arrangements for the
ertction of a large rink nnd public h ill com
bined on the lots opisite the county build
ing. The building will Ikj lu0x2i.M ftit in
idz.e and will extend to within . feet of the
corner of Ottawa street. It will be thrte
stories in height, practically. The iirt fiir
will be devoted to stores, the seoond story
will contain the rink. The lloor will high
enough to accommodate a large gallery on
at leat three sides, and thus there will be
two sets of window. The main lloor will bt
about N)xl70 feet in ize, in the clear, one of
tho largest clear lloors in the State.
The eastern store of the building
will bo devoted to a reception
room and dair cases to the lloor uboe.
There will be check rooms, closets, skate
rooms, etc. The space under the lloor will
be double deadened so that the noise w ill not
disturb people below, and so the sound of
the wheels will not disturb the skaters or
spectators; it will be as free from noise as a
dead lloor. The hall will be provided with
amplo exits and so, being admirably located,
will be very iopular for largo public assem
blies, etc.
Mr. Powers alo has under contemplation
a fine four-story brick block for stores and
ollices on tho corner of Ottawa and Lyon
streets. These improvements with the new
City Hall, tho cable cars, an iron bridge
spanning tho river, and a permanent police
department and bastile erected by the city
will make this street a very popular nnd im
portant one.
A FRENZiED LOVER
Tries to Kill Himself Because he is
Jilted by the Woman he Loves.
Jackson, Feb. l.'i. James Tollister, col
ored, lately became enamored with Mrs.
Wesley, colored, with whom ho boarded. His
affection was rejected as sjie had n husband,
and told him of Tollister's advances. Tollis
ter was advised to seek another boarding
place, which he did. Last night Tollister at
tended a party where Mrs. Wesley was one of
the guests. Ho called her aside and attempt
ed to cut her throat with a knifo which he
snatched from a table. Her screams brought
help, and she was rescued. Tollister then at
tempted to cut his own throat, but was pre
vented. He went to Rogers' barber shop,
where ho was employed, and at 2 o'clock this
morning it was found he had cut his throat
with a razor, the gash running from ear to
ear, severing the windpipe. He came to the
door to admit a physician, and the blood
spurted from the wound at every step,
splashing the furniture, fioor and window.
Tollister is just alive. He is a steady and
sober man, and was led to the act by his
frenzied affection for the woman.

The Contract Should be Let. 'j
The following is taken from the last issue
of the Grand Haven A ? s-Jon nut I:
We understand there is an effort being
made to secure an appropriation for dredg
ing Grand River between Grand Rapids mid
this place. On iutjuiry we learn the cot
would be about 0,0u0. In fact there is a
gentleman here who will contract to make
the river navigable for that distance for that
amount. The benefits of this improvement
would bo incalculable, not only to Grand
Haven and Grand Rapids, but to intcrine
diate points and even the farmers along the
river.
