ST. Lorts. Feb. 21.-St. Louis today re

one of her adopted sons. No man was
more beloved and respected; no man had
a more brilliant career, achieved more
Sur c s-, or was held in more esteem by
the entire people of the United States
than was this adopted son-iGen. William
Terumtseh Sherman. All that was mortii
of him was received by his former tellow

house in a manner becoming his career as
a lin and a soldier.
St Louts was not dressed in somber

the rear cars of the train with which it
had conse Into collision. In a few imo

thing was In terror and confuston, a third
engine runaing "light"-that is, without I
cars--crashed into toe wreck. The fire'
was soon extinguished and the work of
rescue began. Nearly all those in the i
two rear cars had been killed. During
the irst fifteen minutes after the collision
two etplosions were heard, caused by the I
blowing out of the calander heads of a

THE STORM-BOUND EAST.
Telegraphic Commauication Prnstrated
Everywhere.
CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-The sleet storm of
last night was most serious in it effects on
telegraphic communication that has
been experienced for years. This morn
ing nearly every train dispatcher's office
in the city was silent, and trains in every
direction were making their way through
the fog is best they could without run
ning orders. Fortunately no serious ac
cidents occured. Later in the day when
the sleet melted and fell from the wires
and linemen were enabled to repair dam
ages. communication was established for
short distances. The most serious dam
age to lines, however, was at more dis
tant points. Beyond the Mississippi
river, lines running through Minnesota,
Iowa and South Dakota suffered most
heavily. The storm was very severe and
poles and wires went down together over
long stretches. Toward' the southwest,
south and east the same condition of
things prevailed. All wires were re
ported down. It was practically a clean
sweep. At the offices of the Western
Union it was said the company had suf
fered more than at any time since 1888.
This morning the only communication
was northward. Not only wires, but
many of the poles were down. Large
forces of linemen were sent out and, af
ter a time, a quadruplex wire was got
through to Cincinnati and communica
tion with the rest of the world was grad
u'slly opened up in a precarious sort of
a way. The postal company was in much
the same condition. The signal service
predicts that tomorrow will be much
colder with some snow.
Snow Making the frarmera.Olad.
MT. PAvU, Feb. 20.- -It was clear here
today but snow prevailed in the northern
part of the state and was reported from
North Dakota. No trouble was encoun

yet drifted to a great extent. There was
a neavy full of snow in South Dakota
yesterday and last night, and farmers all
ever the northwest are now rejoicing
over the increased moisture from this
snow.

Weekly Review of Tiade.
N Ew Yoax, Feb. 20.-11. G. Dun & Co's.
weekly review of trade says: There is
still much uncertainty about future trade.
East-bound shipments from Chicago for
half of February have neon 146,957 tons
205,288 last year, a lose of 27 per cent.
This mainly due to the shortness of crops i
but the output and movement of iron are I
much smaller than a year ago and foreign
trade I. falling below last year both im
ports and exports.The failure of the Amer- I
ican Loan and Trust company has caused I
some disturbance but the event has no 1
widespread influence. The tone of the
reports from other cities is generally I
favorable.

JAHESYIllE MINE DISASTER
An Immense Crowd, Wild With Ex
citement Were Present When
Four Men Were Brought Up.
THEY WERE ALL ALIVE BUT VERY FEEBLE
A Mortley Procession Singing "Praise
God From Whom All Blese
ingta Flow."
The Rescued Men in Demand for Ex
hibition Purposes--They Will
Probably Pose as Freaks
in a Side Show.
HAZIK-TON, Psa, Feb. 24.-An Associated
Press representative was on the ground
at 3 o'clock tbis morning when four men
were brought up from the Jesnesville
mine. The immense crowd, wild with
excitement, surrounded the mouth of the
slope. After being carefully led from
tie trucks at the slope, the men were car
ried to the Sons of Temperance hall. It
was a strange, but glad-hearted procession.
Many of the miiners had not had their
clothes off or days, so vigorously was the
search pro-ecuted.
The ball is about a mile from the slope.
When the procession if men with lamps
burning in their mining hands, and their
black and glistening clothing glimmering
in the mooniligut, arrived in ;runtof their
employers' home, some one started to
sing the doxology, and the company of
miners and people joined in the refrain:
'Praise God, from Whom All Bllessings
Flow." For indeed they were but echo
ing the sentiment of the entire region.
Mirs. Hayden and family camie outside
and accompanied the party to the hall,
where, upon beds, blankets and comnforta
bles were placed over and around the
men. A rag moistened with line-juice
was placed to their lilp. and they eagerly
grasped it. Then suiml doses of brandy
and milk were given ilieti, but only i
spoonfull at a time. The men are too
weak to make any statement. Caleb
Wiilinusu has the luinip of ine of the men
conta.ning a small siupply of oil. Iie
also has a piece of the wood
taken from a sm ill pile where the p
cui were lhund. Tuis wood had betn
gathered for the purpose of building a
fire with which to keep off the chill of
the water. Why 'le tire was not started
remains in doubt. Exhaustion may have
overtaken the men and preventel a con.
summation of their project. At any rate
it was providential, for had they built a
tire, the air would have soon become
vitiated and they would have perished
as did Ball, Reed and the two other
victims, of suffocation. This afternoo it
is said Joe Mastuskowitch is rapidly
growing weaker and may perhaps not re
cover.
The terrible tale of their nineteen days'
suffering will hardly be made public for
several days, as with the most favorable
improvement hoped for, none of the men
will be strong enough to talk. Mitch
comment is heard as to the future move
ments of the rescued men should they be
returned to health and strength. Already
parties are eager to secure them and ex
hibit them from place to place and have
them relate the awful story of their suf
ferings. The men had no exact idea of
the time they were entombed but knew
it must have been several weeks, from
their condition and exhaustion. There
were no traces of any practices of can
nibalism rod the men, who were all of a
hardy constitution, weakened and became
exhausted gradually. It is evident the
idea of subsisting on one of their number
did not come to them at all.
LATER.
The rescued men are resting quietly
this evening. The pulse of all but Mas
tuskowitch has improved in the last few
hours. He appears to be growing weaker.
Two professional nurses have art ived and
will look after the men.
THEY WILL WRESTLE.
