The above table shows the tempera
ture as observed hourly at Schuepf’s
from the 10th to the 17th Inst., inclu
sive, and will be a good thing to file
away for future refererence, with a
note that many other thermometers
showed from 3 to 6 degrees colder than
the temperature aoove given, and that
aero or below was a frequent reading all
over the city on the 11th, 14th, 16th and
17th.
T' -day promises to he another “zero
morning” as the mercury fell rapidly
last night, after getting as high as 17
during the day. The day was a bright
and sunny one, and in exposed situations
during the afternoon the snow softened
up a little, but scarcely to a notlceacle
extent. In the shade the day was quite
nne as a whole, and the already j
biff crop of Ice was largely added to.
From all along Wheeling creek comes
the word that the recent cold spell has
been especially severe. A citizen llviug
on the borders of the stream remarked
yesterday that on an average.he be ieved
the weather five degrees cooler than in
the city.
In Fulton and beyend, where Ice
houses are most numerous, persons in
this bnsluess have enjoyed a harvest
never before known by the oldest citi
zens. On the cre«>k at Elm Grove, the
Ice Is fifteen inches thick, aud there
alone one thousand tons have been put
sp
in this region quail were numerous
this year. Many of these birds are
found daily frozen stiff—something sel
dom knowu. A faithful watch dog was
found near Elm Grove frozen to death.
At Triadelphia, during the present
cold weather, the thermometer has
stood at 21 degrees below zero,
and at Elm Grove 14 degrees
below. One inhabitant declared
It the coldest weather along the
creek In sixteen years, as in *84,
the extreme cold lasted, but one day.
Another asserted that not since New
Year’s day, of ’63 has tbe weather been
so cold. These persons agreed that the
cold wave has lasted longer, and was as
cold as any they ever experienced.
The country roads are terribly
drifted, in some places tbe masses of
snow being fifteen feet in depth. The
road to the Stone church, near Elm
Grove, has been blocked for several
days. Persons In that locality In very
many instances find their wells so
badly frozen that water cannot be se
cured. Many persons are hauling water
from the creek.
A citizen, who had live! along the
creek forty years, stated to a reporter
of the Register that in 1556 there was
a similar cold snap like the present one.
only that there was more snow, and it
lasted three months. It was about this
time of year, too, and the gentleman
states there has not been a similar cold
wave since. It was asserted that the
great sdow of the year given went off
and didn’t raise the streams beyond
their banks. This veteran, in years,
stated he believed this snow would go
in a similar manner.
Patrick Kennedy, once of Wheeling,
now a retired merchant living in Elm
Grove, thinks last Sunday the most in
tensely cold day he ever witnessed.
The cold nearly cost the gentleman his
life last Suuday. Early in the morn
ing he started to Triadelphia to church
In a sleigh. The cold was not noted
particularly till the return trip.
When In front of Michael Madden’s
gas office, Mr. Kennedy was nearly per
ished. When he was carried to the fire
in the office, he fell prostrate and un
conscious. Medical aid could not then
be secured, aud those in attendance
thought the man dead. Restoratives
were administered, and he finally came
tn Mr. Kennedv considers it the nar
rowest escape of his life.

A REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.
Prof. Birch and George Kennan Rehearse
a Mutually Interesting Topic.
At the conclusion of the lecture last
night at the Opera House, Mr. Kennao
was iuvited to the Press Club Rooms,
where so luvltlng lunch was served.
Quite a number of the members gather
ing around the festal board, the dis
tinguished lecturer keeplup all busy and
entertaiued with his fund of stories
and incidents of travel.
While this feast of reason and flow of
soul was going on a remarkable coinci
dence happened. Prof. Birch who was
preseut suddenly recalled that while
Consul at Nagasaki, Japan, a political
convict from Russia came to him one
day came to him bearing a card of
recommendation signed “George Ken
nan.” Prof. Birch felt moved by the
story the man told and helped
him to Immediate comfort. The
man had escaped from the
East Siberian mines, and reached
Nagasaki on a Japanese coasting
vessel. After securing accommodations
fn, man aurhilw. Prof. Kirch secured
passage for ni® on a vessel bound for
Vancouver, and while en route a col
lection was taken ou board which en
abled the man to reach Washington,
D. C., where Kennan after arriving in
this country from his travels again met
him. Ho is now in England where ho
has since been joined by other members
of bis family, who were gotten out of
Russian territory through ingenuity and
intrigue, Mr. Kennan himself sending
$400 of his own mouey to assist in get
ting the daughter to England in dis
guise. This particular convict in ques
tlon was a forcible part of the lecture
last nignt. The political convict men
tloned is now lecturing in Eugiand, be

farce-comedy success, “Tuxedo.”
“Tuxedo” is prettily staged, has a lav
ish display of bright costumes for the

handsome scenery to set them off. Its
success last season warrants the claim

cessful plays than any of the othei
workers in the field of American dra
matic literature. Their admirable ef
forts, “Lord Cbumley,” “The Wife,”
and “The Charity Ball.” have achieved
great popularity and are wi ll-known to
theatre-goers; but the greatest of their
numerous efforts is “Men aud Women,”

the landing of the boat, ‘1^. E. Lee,’
the happy darkeys working on the levee
and the cbi'd Eva’s fearful precipltatiou
into the river and her rescue by Tom
was a life-long picture. Betweeu the

BY HIS INTERESTING TALK ON TaE CONVICT
LIFE OF SIBERIA.
Graphic Descriptions of the Wild and Picturesque
Country—Scenes in Some of the Jails—The
Tortures They Undergo — Some
Things He Saw and Heard.
The weather of last evening seemed
particularly appropriate for a lecture
on “Siberia,” a9 one Instinctively asso
ciates the uame with almost the foun
tain head of coldness. It still further
seemed appropriate by reason of a cer
tain chilliness that pervaded the at
mosphere in the interior of the Opera
House, and as one lady remarked, “I
guess Mr. Kennan must have brought
some Siberian weather along with him
to illustrate the lecture.”
Certaia it was quite uncom
fortable in the Opera Houso last
uignt, but the reporter wa9 informed
that all the machinery was runing full
biast, but thatthe facilities were simply
inadequate to cope with such unusually
cold weather. It was quite cold at the
Opera House the night before, ani many
people of inquiring minds have been
exercising them.
An audience of 9ome three hundred
people listened attentively for over two
hours last night to that celebrated lec
turer, George Keunau. Unfortuuately
the train upon which ho came from
Washington, D. G\, was seme two hours
late, and he arrived iu town just in time
to arrauge for the stage, lecturing with
out any supper. It was a distinctively
literary audience, and included in the
assemblage were many of the most
prominent people in the city. The lect
ure was given under the auspices of
the Wheeling Press Club. Tne lecturer
was introduced to the audience by Rev.
W. U. Cooke, D. D., pastor of the Sec
ond Presbyterian church.
Mr. Kennau started out by giving a
graphic description of that country,
picturing the wild and picturesque
sceues, the bridle paths through which
one must traverse and the scenes of
desolation on all sides, as well as the
peculiarities of the climate. He spoke
particularly of the sinuous paths along
the mountains, Icy, slippery aud
treacherous. At the mining settlement
where he stopped it was 4,000 miles
from St. Petersburg, and such a des
olate scene! It resembled somewhat
an abandoned gold plaza in the most
desolate part of the LJlack Hills. Here
It was that we found a brave band of
convicts working. We started to find
snelter for ourselves, but we learned
that there weie no boarding houses
there. Our only alternative was to take
shelter a!ong with burglars, counter
feiters aud murderers, all under the
same roof,and under police survetliauce.
My friend, who by the way was an
• artist from Jluston, and myself accepted
even this hospitality, that we might
better gain an insight into the work
ings of the convict system.
Mr. Kennan then gave a picture of a
Siberian convict prison. Ho said they
were built on low, marshy ground, and
the one I havo in mind was erected
nearly a century ago. It has the ap
pearance of a long, low, horse-car stable
two sides being formed by walks, and
the ends by stockades. One has little
conception of the tilth that prevails in
these places. The corridors are long
and low, and the floor is so encrusted
with filth that a broom would have lit
tle effect upon it. The air inside is
damp, and saturated with foul odors.
I looked into one of the cells. It was
20 feet squaro, and about." feet high,
and huddled together In this com
partment were twenty-nine prisoners.
Tney slept on rough boards, and
there was absolutely no furniture in
the room. There wero two windows
that could not bo opened, as they were
stationary, and there was no way to
get auy fresh air. With all these con
victs tucked away in this place ea
man had about as much air as would be
contained in a dry goods box five feet
square and five feet high. The air was
unbearably foul, and I well recall what
a sigh of relief I gave when I stepped
back iuto the corridor, foul and vitiated
as that seemed when 1 first entered
the orison. In the matter
of placing the criminals In
the jail there seems to be no distinction•
Murderers, burglars and ju>t merely
political convicts all get the same ac
commodations, except perhaps there
are not so many of the political con
victs in one room.
Mr. Kennan, in seeking information,
told how cautious he bad to be, as
oftentimes he had in his pockets papers
aud other articles that would incritui
nete him If found, ana on one occasion
while alone in a room he had to burn a
buudle of letters In an oven for
I fear they would be detected. The lec
ture was bound together by a series of
predated should be heard.
During fats lecture Mr. Kennan left
the stage once, removed his full dress
suit, and came back attired in convict
garb, with long, light gray ulster, Tam
O’Shanter cap of gray, sort of bag-like
trousers, slippers, or sandals, and leg
chains. As he stood there in this garb
Mr. Kennan looked like a typical Siber
ian convict. Mr. Kenuati is a fluent,
ea>y talker, and he lu*l<1 the closest at
tention of the large audience through
out.

same evening he returned, accompanied
by a handsome brunette. The young
lady was dark-eyed, pretty, and not
over twenty-four yearsof age. Persons
at the hotel noticed the old gentleman
watched the young lady very closely.
Finally the clerk, whose suspicions had
already been aroused, was called
into the hall, where the father stated
he was afraid to leave the reception
room lest his daughter escape. At this
stage the clerk inquired if the old gen
tleman had thwarted an elope
ment, and he admitted he had. The
old gentleman asked that the register
be brought that be might sign It and
not lose sight of the daughter. Ac
cording to directions the clerk finally
signed it himself, “
and daughter.” After supper the young
lady’s actions becoming more suspi
cious the clerk was asked to telephone
for a police officer, the father saying
ho feared he would have trouble In
getting his daughter on the 12:25 train
for the East. Officer James Creighton
arrived and to him the story
was confided. Coming on the
train from Washington the old
gentleman asked a friend on the train
to assist him in getting the young lady
to the hotel, and then to the train East,
a? be feared there would oo an attempt
to take hia daughter from him at the
depot.
At the hotel, where the parent’s eyes
were taken from the daughter for a
moment, the clerk heard a noise aDd
saw the girl endeavoring to
escape through the reception
room window. The father grabbed
the girl just in time. Later the young
brunette made another ineffectual at
tempt to escape. This time she cried
piteously “I will never be happy.” “I
canuot live without him.” “I love him
dearer than life,” and similar ejacula
tions. The girl, accompanied by the
father, the officer, and a friend, was
put on the 12:25 train yesterday, and
the couple left town.
The old man’s heart seemed nearly
broken, and bis sad story follows: Two
years ago his daughter left her home
for Washington, Pennsylvania. Ella
was a bright and respected girl, and
had had many attentions from gallants
In that locality. She accepted a
position as waiter In the larg
est hotel In Washington, the
Bailey. A large colored man named
Moseby was an employe at the
hotel, and Ella became infatua
ted with the dusky employe. A
courtship on the sly followed, and an
engagement was the outcome. Ella
confided the secret of her engagement
to a fellow waitress, and this person
told the housekeeper in charge. Alarm
ed at such an outcome, the house
keeper lost no time In tele
graphing the girl’s father, who Im
mediately camo on. The dispatch
stated for the father not to come
direct to the hotel lest the daugh
ter escape. It was arranged finally,
aDd the father was brought face to face
in a room In the hotel with his erring
daughter. lie told her to cotno home.
She refnsed, saying she loved
the colored man and would
marry him. The stormiest kind
of a scene followed, and the father
finally bad to secure aid to get his
daughter aboard the train for Wheel
ing.
The farther course of father and
daughter is not known, but it Is
thought the girl will escape and join
what she calls her “colored lover.”
