Mr. Ball Had No Cause for Action. Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 7. Judge Daniels charged the jury this morning in the euit of Rev. Dr. Ball against the New York Kvening Tost. - The Judge read the articles upon which the actions were based, going over them, sentence by sentence, and dwelling npon their import, whether im plied or understood. Dr. Ball, he said, had the right to investigate the character of Mr. Cleveland, if he saw fit to do so, and it was for the jury to determine whether such an investigation, visiting a n egress, etc.. warranted the Post in saying or insinuating that the was a -gutter snipe." If Mr. Ball had libeled Mr. Cleveland, that was no justifi cation, for the Post to libel plaintiff, suppos ing H hadS done so. Mr. (iodkin, the jury were requested to remember, had certain letters before him, as well as an article published in tho Courier, signed by sixteen citizens, and it must be considered whether he bad had sntllcicnt to warrant, him in making the assertions in the Post which he did. J: nrther, whether the articles were actuated by malice, and whether they were intended to injure plaintitF. Jf they were, the jury would be justified in finding a verdict for the - plaintiff, and one that would be a punishineut and au example.

For some months past two saloons have been permitted by the city authorities to be kept open in de fiance of the local-option lav, Lately serious disturbances have occurred in both resorts. This so disturbed the ladies of the city that they determined to take some ac tion in the matter. To determine the nature of such action, an indignation meeting was held to-day. About one hundred ladies were present, among them being the wives of some of the most prominent men in town. At the meeting it was decided to break up the saloons, and the ladies lost no time in executing the decision. They proceeded in a body, first to the saloon of Thomas Ward, He had notice of the ladies' intentions, and had' barricaded the doors of his saloon. But the crusaders were not to bo stopped by such obstacles. They battered in the win dows, broke down the doors, demolished the saloon-fixtures, rolled the barrels and kegs into the street. Imrst them open and allowed the liquor to flow into the gutter. From there the ladies proceeded to the saloon of James Carroll, whose saloon was also demolished, and his stock of liquor poured into the gutter. Three drug stores wero visited and their proprietors were given notice that their establishments would bo treated like the saloons if they did not cease to sell intoxicants in violation of the law. About $1,000 worth of liquor was destroyed by the crusaders. WARRING WHITES AND BLACKS. Fight in Alabama, in Which Two Men Were Killed Negroes to Be Slaughtered. St. Louis, Feb. 7.

Heavy Snow and Wind-Storm In Fennijl rani Several Persons Killed. Pittsburg, Feb. 7. The worst storm in years has been racing throughout western Pennsylvania since noon to-day. Snow, hail, rain and wind have been playing havoc in this city. No damage was done by the wind, but the enow and slush has blockaded many of the streets and stopped street-car traffic, while telegraph and tele phone lines are breaking down under the heavy weight of ice with which they are coated. In the mountains the storm is rag ing with terrific fiiry, and reports are com ing in of serious damage to property. At Blairsville, Pa., tho large glass factory was demolished by the wind. The roof was blown off and the two side walls facing eat fell in. Charles K. Barr, general man ager, and William Bnrney, one of the firm, were instantly killed, and a workman, whose name conld not be learned, injured. Mr. Burney'h body was immediately taken from the wreck. It wa9 mangled almost beyond recognition. Mr. Ban's remains were recovered two hours later. The storm at Blairsville is subsiding. There was no further damage. , At Uniontown, Pa., the roof was blown off the MethodUt Episcopal Church, a part of it alighting on the house of John Brown, just north of the chnrch, crashing it in like an egg-shelL The tower of the church, it is feared, is so badly shattered that it will have to be torn down. The roof of the large new building lately erected by the Pennsylvania Construction Company, be low the town, was also blown off. A horse and wagon, driven by James B.vRush, was blown over Gray's hill. The wagon is lying on its back, with the wheels whirl ing in the air. No one was seriously hurt. . Postmaster Baker's new house was nearly demolished; also, James Frankeu hurry's house, and John W. Ringer's house was leveled to tho ground. The telephone and electric-light wires are all down. None of the coke-works are running south of Union town. The Redstone Coke Com pany's office at Brownfield was blown down and entirely demolished. The end was blown out of the engine-house at Leith, and the Warren glass-works wero wrecked. The roof of the Lutheran Church was also blown off. Tho loss at Uniontown will reach $10,000. At Connellsville the storm began in Ihe morning and did not subside until late this evening. In this section the loss will reach over $10,000. J. M. Herpeck's store and houses, in this place, was completely wrecked, the inmates having a narrow es cape from death. The Catholic Church is in a dangerous condition, and a number of other houses in the town are wrecked. At Dunbar, the Knights of Labor Hall was entirely blown away. A report from Leisenriug says all the large shanties of the' H. C. Frick Coko Company are down. No fatalities havo so far been reported in this region. Dispatches from Johnstown, Tyrone, Oreensbnrg and other points report severo wind and snow-storms, but no serious darn age. The snow-fall is from six to ten inches in depth. At 9:30 to-night the snow at Johntown was eleven inches deep aud increasing. The cold is intense, but the supply of gas is good, and there is not much suffering in couseqaence. BLIZZARD IN Tlin NORTHWEST. The Worst Snow-Storm of the Season Raging The Weather Growing Colder. St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 7. A dispatch from Winnipeg. Man., says the worst snow storm known in Manitoba for many years has been raging for the past twenty-four hours. The main streets of the city are piled with drifts three feet high, the schools are closed and business is prac tically suspended. The trains from the east, west ami south are all from six to ten hours late. The Manitoba train for St. Paul steamed out with three engines at tached, this morning. It is the heaviest fall of snow since 1862. The wind is blow ing a fearful gale, but no fatalities aro feared, as the thermometer is high. From Cedar Rapids, la., comes the report that a fierce biazard from the Northwest struck that place about fi o'clock this even ing and is still raging with unabated fury. The thermometer h-is fallen about thirty degrees in the last ten hours, and is grow ing colder. At Sauk Center, Minn., a genuine bliz zard is prevailing, which bids fair to block ade tho railroads aud other travel. At Stephens the worst storm within the recol lection of the oldest inhabitant is rairinir. The wind Is from the north, aud the air is a cloud of snow. The merenry registers ten degrees below zero, and it is growing colder. At Minnewaukan, N. D., tho roof of the court-house was blown oft. Reports from many other points indicate that the storm is unusually severe. The blizzard of to-night seems, from specials to the Pioneer Press, to be con fined chiefly to the Red river valley, and is ragiug furiously at Fargo. Pembina and other points in that district. The wind was fifty miles an hour at Pembina and similar reports come iroiu other points. Dispatches from northern Indiana and central Illinois report severe suow-atorms raging in those sections. At Fort Wavne the first snow of the season fell, and at nightfall it was tnree or four inches deep. FLOODS AND SNOW-SLIDES. Railroad Tracks Corered for Miles with an Iminenae Avalanche. Portland, Ore., Feb. 7. The extent of the damag by the late rains to the Oiegon & California railroad, between Ashland and Roscbnrg, 150 miles north of here, can not bo estimated even approximately, but is very heavy. The railroad, from Grant's Pass to Roseburg, is covered with one con tinuous slide. Tho streams all over south ern Oregon aro reported as high, if not higher, than in 1SC1. A report reached here late last night from Glendale, of an immense slide on tbe railroad half a mile south of West Fork in Cow Creek Canyon. The slide came from a high mountain down to the bottom offjthe canyon, a distance of eight hundred or one thousand feet, covering the track and till ing the canyon. The report says trees are standing on the slide the name as they were when It started from tho summit. The water backed up in the canyon for a dis tance of three miles, and is five hundred feet wide and from fifty to seventy-five feet deep. Tho tunnel there is filled with water. The crook is trying to cut through the side, but the earth is jammed so tight that so far it has not given away. Tele graph linemen have built a raft, and will try to get a lino across the lake that has been formed. Subsiding at Portland. PoRTLAXi. Ore., Feb. 7. The situation here is moro favorable. The water has fallen several inchos and is rapidly going down, but even yet the only means of trav eling on Front street is by boats, the water being too deep to permit pedestrians to walk on the street, even with rubber boots. No correct estimate of the damage can bo obtained until the. river recedes within its banks. Both bridges across tho river, which were threatened for two days past, have stood the pressure and are now thonghtto boontof danger. About 1.400 sacks of delayed Western mail and a large number of nassen cere arrived here bv boat from Dalles, last evening, having been transferred from tne Union Tacihc train at that point.

Following these instructions. Lieutenant governor Rickards sent telegrams to all the shoriiTs in the State, with tho result that Senator Beckler of Dawson county was arrested at Glen dive, yesterday Afternoon. He wired to Helena for a lawyer, and an attorney left for that point last r ight. It is understood that a writ of habeas corpus will be applied for by Beckler, who is the only man ar rested so far. This action of the Repub lican Senators lias aroused the Democratic Representatives, and they say that even if Senator Beckler is brought to Helena under arrest, they will prevent his being taken, against his will, into the Senate chamber, even it it requires force of arms. 0S1TUAKY.

French Royalt Coup D Etat Nipped by the Arrest of the Yoanr Duke of Orleans. Paris, Feb. 7. By prompt action the gov ernment to-day nipped in the bud what was apparently intended to be a royalist coup d'etat, modeled after Louis Napo leon's mad acscent upon Boulogne, and tho only consequence is that the Duke of Or leans, eldest son of the Count of Paris, is to-night in custody. The Duke arrived in Paris to-day, bearing a letter written and signed by tbe Count de Paris, announcing to the faithful, and to all others the Count's abdication. He also had with him a manifesto addressed to the people of France. Nominally, and according to the theory of pretenders, a pretender is always a king, and, therefore, the Count of Paris abdicates the throne he never possessed. He conseqnently abdicates his claims as a pretender, and, in virtue of this abdica tion, all his claims, rights and titlesdescend to his eldest son, the young gentleman now in tho hands of tho authorities Philiupe Louis Robert, Duke d' Orleans. This gentleman is therefore not merely one of the man' vagrant princes, but the actual pretender to tho throne, in virtue of his claims as the heir of Louis Philippe, and also as the heir of the old Bourbon line. His coming into the country in violation of the law banishing all the heads and direct heirs of reigning families is a rash escapade, if U stands alone. The fact that he was equipped with an appeal to the nation shows his intention, and may make that es capade serious for him. If it should be de veloped that this movement is made in vir tue of an understanding with the partisans of tbe monarchy in France, it may be more thauamero violation of the law of ex pulsion. There is some reason to believe that the movement is made in concert with the more determined opponents of the Republic, as the Duke repaired immediately to the house of the Duke do Luynes. the present head of a family that has always adhered with un compromising heroism to the old monarchy. In that house the young gentleman was King of France in theory the descendant of Henry IV, and not merely the descendant of Louis Philippe. On tho day before, Feb. 6, the Duke of Orleans attained the age of twenty-one, for he was born on Feb. 6, ISO?. The abdication of his father, the manifesto and the movement were all ap parently planned with regard to that date, and in order to electrify France with the demonstration that the fortunes of tho monarchy were now in new hands; that the crown now belonged on the bead of Preux Chevalier, who would do something for it and not fold his hands in a quiet corner, like another Chambord; but the govern ment was not caught napping. It was promptly informed of the presence of tho Duke in Paris,and of his whereabouts. It has not yet been developed how much more may be known to tbe police, but the facts on the snrface are sufficient. The Duke was in France in violation of the law made purposely for excluding his father and hiunelt as enemies of the repub lic. This law had been remitted only in favor of the Duke d'Anmale; therefore, the Duke d'Orleans was at once arrested at the house of the Duke do Luynes. He was taken to the prefecture of police, where his identity was fixed beyond all doubt, and where the process verbal of his violation of tho law of banishment was drawn up. He was then detained at the Conciergerie, famous as a place of detention for royalty in distress. In the afiernoon he was ar raigned before the military authorities at the Central Bureau. In response to tho inquiry as to the objects and Enrposes of his visit to France, he said that aving attained his majority he had coino to France to place himself at the disposal of tho military authorities. This dash of audacity is regarded as a very happy stroke, and is sure to make friends for him, for a gallant French boy who wants to take his chance for conscription is a somewhat unusual and cantivatinz fitrure to appear in the daily news. But this did not touch the sensibilities of the hard-hearted authorities, and M. Constant, tho Minister of the In terior, ordered that the Duke bo held in custody. Further disposition of the case will, of coune. depend upon whether it is dis- coveied that there was any plot for a gen eral royalist movement behind this inci dent. Everybody in Paris remembers that the royalists of France were at a given moment ready to rise, but that Henry V obstinately would not face the peril of placing himself at their head. People are now asking themselves the question whether the young prince has now come in to tne land ot his fathers in response to a similar invitation. This is tbe only view in which the case has a serious fare. Aside from this it seems only a mad boyish prank. Nobody just now is likely to be very fierce about the pranks of boy who is related to all the royal families in Eu rope and whose grandmother was of tho house of Mecklenburg-Schwerln. The Duke of Orleans has lately resided at Lausanne, in Switzerland. He left there in company with the Duke de Lny ne.who is only one year his senior. It is said that none of his family were aware of his inten tion to enter France, and that the family is ignorant of any plans ho may have had, if h had any other than allegedly himself when in custody. It is also reported that he did endeavor to enlist as a private sol dier, but was refused at the recruiting of fice for some informality In his application; that he went to the Mairie to endeavor to overcome this difficulty, and was there re ferred to the Ministry; and that finally, as he could not get satisfactory response to his request to bo permit ted to perform his three year's military service as an enlisted man. he wrote a polite letter to M. De Freycinet, which was carried by the Dnke de Luyne. This letter was to the etl'ect that he had no intention to remain in Paris, nor to create any difficulty; that he whs legally pre cluded from holding anv rank In the annv. but that he was ambitious of the honor of serving r ranee as a private soldier. Shortly after this he was arrested. Contradictory stories are afloat as to all the details of the case, and particularly as to the report of the abdication of the Count de Paris. One of the first thiugs made pub lic was tbe report-that the Duke had with him the document of abdication. As tho Count de Paris has been at sea some days. on his way to America, this gave the ap pearance of long-considered preparation to the movement. It is now positively denied that the Duke has any such document, or that Count de Pans has signed any 6Uch act of abdication. THE COAL-PIT, DISASTER. Number of Dead May Reach 190 Father and Five Sons Amongr Those Suffocated. London, Feb. 7. The work of removing the bodies of the miners who lost their lives by the explosion in the colliery at Aberya- chan, yesterday, is being carried on ts rai- idly as possible. The ventilation of tho pit has been restored, and this greatly facili tates the etlorts of the workers. A very pathetic incident in tho work of rescue was the finding of the bodies of a father aud five sons lying in a gronp. They had not been burned at alL and they appeared to be calmly sleeping. All of them had died from sufi'ocation. Several of the nun who had volunteered for the work of rescue wer made sick bv handling the burned bodies, and were obliged to come to the fcur- face. One hundred and sevrntv bodies have thus far been taken from th pit, and it is believed that4the total number of persons killed will reach 190. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Blow tho Kaiser Labor-Reform Ideaa Aro Regarded at Home and In Bo I a. Berlin, Feb. 7. The Post, of this city, while recognizing the humane sentiments and the absence of prejudice that actuated the issue of the imperial decrees, says it is unable to shut its eyes to the fact that the path upon which the government has thus entered is one of great difficulty, and not devoid of danger. It recalls the failure of Napoleon III. who, in 1SC3, announced a European congress bciore he naa ouuuneu tho consent of even one other power. The Post compares the oDtimistio critics who have handled the subject with encouraging words to persons advising a fneml to jump into an abyss of unknown depth.

RANDALL'S CONVERSION Due to roatmaster-General Wanamalter'B In fluenceThe Ex-Speaker's Health. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 7. As was Btatcd in these dispatches a week or ten days ainco. SamuelJ, Randall was baptized and re ceived into thePreabyterian Church npon the confession of his faith, and it now ap pears that his conversion is due to the Christian inrlucnco of Postmaster-general Wanamaker. The latter has been a regu lar visitor to the chamber of the ex-Speaker ever since the latter has been ilL Seldom has a week passed since midsummer thafr he has not called at least once, and usually twice or thrco times. The conversa tion on theso occasions has led to religious questions, and Mr. Wanamaker has finally convinced Mr. Randall of his duty to make a public confession of faith and attach himself to some church. The ex-Speaker received a religious education in his youth, and his family are frequent attendants upon church services, but none of them have ever received communion ex cept bis oldest daughter, Mrs. Lancaster, who joined the Catholic Church a let? years ago, shortly before her marnag. Mr. Wnnamaker's arguments were ad dressed to Mr. Randall s reason. &ud no at tempt was made to tSi influ ence that is ordinarily exnted up on those who are .near death's door. It was purely an intellectual recognition of the doctrines of the Chris tian religion, for which Mr. Randall has always lelt and expressed great respect, but to which he has never given any study or thought. It was by Mr. Wanamaker a advice that he accepted tho Presbyterian creed, and when he expressed a desire to see a clergyman the Rev. Dr. Chester was called in. Mr. Randall's friends do not believe thut he will ever be able to resume hs seat in Congress. The nature of his disease will not permit of it, and even should he re cover sufficiently to leave his house, tho excitement and responsibility of Ins po sition as leader of the Democratic side would be too great for him to endure. - KORTII DAKOTA'S LOTTERY BELL.

A further remark was to the effect that It was "not believed to be possible that the new Stat0 would adopt a measure that would put 81 indelible a stain npon its reputation.'' r Postmaster-general Wanamakersaid.wita, reference to this subject: "As Postmaster general I cannot be interviewed upon the? subject of legislation enacted or proponed by a State, except to express my regret that . the mails or any of the machinery of tho government should be used to any extent in any part of the country for the further ance of lottery schemes; out as a citizen I am free to say that it is a cans for great alarm when a new Stato proposes to spread ' this evil over a new country, and extend a species of gambling, that ruins the young and deludes the ignorant icr the enrich ment of a few unscrupulous stockholders. If this kind of legislation is to succeed, Congress must be invoked to enact laws to suppress this iniquitous business every where."

CLERKS FOrt CONGItESS3LLX. Bill Reported to ths IToas Providing a Sec retary fur Each 3feruber. Special to tbe Iadiarapolis Journal Washington, Feb. 7. The committee on accounts has reported a bill giving each Representative and Delegate in Congress the right to appoint a clerk, to be paid at the rate of 100 a month from the public treasury. The committee hold that the business of Representatives, in justioe to themselves and their constituents, demands that they should have clerks as well as the Senators: that their correspondence is so voluminous that they have not time out side of the active bessions of the House for the examination of tbe various measures to bo considered and the questions connected therewith, and that they requiro some ono to look after the interests of their constituents as to claims and pen sions, business in the land and patent ofiices and other matters that Represent atives are constantly called upon to attend to. This is not a new subject in Congress, but has been up repeatedly, and while, nearly every member believes that fceneeds a clerk, a majority has never been found of snilieient courage to piss a bill provid ing for them. Whether the movement will succeed this time or not is a question. TENSIONS roit VETIIHAJNS Itesldents of Indiana and Illinois Whoia Claims Have Keen Allowed.
