Perishing Cattle. TERRIBLE HAVOC AMONG THE RANGES IN COLORADO AND WESTERN NEBRASKA.

Advices from Lincoln, Neb., under date} Feb. 19, say: The damage to telegraph wires has made the task of collection of the details of the late storm in Colorado and western Nebraska very slow and tedious. As the news comes in, it shows that the disturbance was the worst in the history of the region affeeted by it. The storm raged in the mountains, and descended upon the plains. These had been dry and tree of mwisture so long that neither man nor beast could stand before the rush. The! roof of the Burlington roundhouse at Ak-! ron was blown off. West of McCook two inen Were picked up dead, and another so badly frozen and exhausted that his life is despaired of. Many other fatalities are ex- pected when reports come in from the ter- ritory distant trom the railroads. As the trains come in to-day passengers and train- men saw cattle buried to their heads in the snow. As hardly a cow was seen else- | where, it is evident that many are entire- ly coy ered. Most of those seen will perish; in fact, all except the few that can be) found and dug out by the small force avail- able for that purpose. The losses of cat- tle will be something appalling. The storm covered the entire range on the east side of the Rocky Mounta:ns, from the British line to New Mexico. The eastern edge lapped over into Nebraska to North Platte and McCovk. East of these points no damage was done. Unless the stories are greatly exaggerated, not less than 25 per cent of all the cattle in the range are wiped out.

Trying to Steala $15,000 Horse.

[From the Newark Sunday Cail. |

An abortive attempt to steal Mr. R. Cadugan’s stallion Bayonne Prince was made last week. The stallion is at Fiem- ‘ington, Hunterdon County, where he has been for the past season, in the care of W. Scott Smith. Itappears that the thieves entered the stable about 7.30 o'clock and concealed themselves. When the house got quiet they went to work. They collect- ed all the harness and blankets they could find and put them ina sleigh which they took from its place in the rear of the car- riage house. The harness they put ina bag, and the blankets were piled on the seat of the sleigh. They took the harness

which belonged to another horse and put it on Bayonne Prince and were evidently just about to hitch the

horse to the © sleigh, ) were disturbed by the Mr. Smith, who had occasion to go to one of the outhouses near the stab’e. As he passed the latter he noticed that one of the doors was partly open, and thinking it strange he pulled the door wide open and

when they brother-in-law of

stunned him. While lying on the floor the thieves rifled his pockets, taking $47 in money, and fled. The floor of the carriage house had been covered with blankets to deaden the sound of the horses, and in a few minutes more the thieves would have been onthe road behind a horse with a record of 2.21}, and valued at $15,000. With regard tothe statement as to the value of the horse, Imay say that Mr Cadugan refused a flat offer of $10,000 for him last month. _—_—_— <<

Great Guns.

The Brooklyn Eagle has been studying the possible effects of a bombardment in case of war between Great Britain and the United States. The following facts which it gives concerning the ranges of the great guns of the present day are interesting :— ** The 119-ton Krupp at an elevation of 45 degrees has a range of 10.184 miles, and at 35 devrees e'evation of 9.779 miles. The 110-ton Armstrong bas, with an elevation of 45 degrees, a range of 10 351 miles, and of 9.929 miles with an elevation of 35 degrees. The new 63-ton Woolwich gun, with an elevation of 45 degrees, has a range of 10.405 miles, and at 35 de grees 10.003. At 20 degrees elevation the same gun carries ashot eight miles. Either of these guns with an elevation ot 35 degrees could send.a shot from the deep water off Coney Island right into the navy yard. The 19 ton wire guns which the new British belted cruisers carry have a_ stil! greater range than the 63-ion guns, and with an elevation of 20 degrees could probably send a 400-pound shell a distance of about ten miles.” The point at which ships would lie oif Coney Island would be six miles from Fort Hamiiton and at least three miles from any army point where a land battery could be erected. The Eagle, therefore, wants the Government either to take the navy yard away from Bro k yn, or to buill ships capable of driving away an enemy's ironclads.

Seeking a Friend. STORY OF BAVAKIA.

A STRANGE

KING LUDWIG OF

_ iking of tue celebrated men of Enrope who are opposed io the Jews, Sacher-Masoch says: ‘*Great veniuses are sometimes very narrow-minded.” Years ago, writes the | Baroness Salvador to the New York Mail, Sucher-Masooh published a novel, in which his hero, a Volish Count, took a deep interest in a youth, so deep an interest as to super- inteud the educatiou of his protege, and make him the confidant of his joys and soriows. | When the pupil was intellectually strong enougi to dlissass the most adstrass subjects | with his master, the latter discovered that his care and atlection had been bestowed upon a woman—and fled. Not long after the publica: tion of this book—-but I must tell the story as | Sacher- Masoch: told it to me :— ‘Some time after this book appeared, I re- ' ceived an anonymous letter asking me to make la compact of friendship with the writer—a | compact similar to that made by the hero of imy . The anonymous would-be-friend jadded: ‘As Tama man, there is no danger of ia similar rupture. Every line spoke of | sincere, unchangeable fricudship, and ihe final phrase ws lice ‘this: “To console a stricken soul, to bind again to life a mind that dreams lonly of suicide.’ Of course, I thought the | letter came from a woman, and when i receiv- led a second asking for an interview, and ap- pointing a litttle village in Bohemia as the place of rendezvous, with the condition that my eyes should be bandaged, I was certain that only a woman could write in that manuer. At the appointed time I reached the house, blinded myseif, and anxiously expected—-I know not what, One moment after my entrance, the rich, modu- lated voice of aman said * Thank you’; and although I confess to a disappointment, I was soon interested in a rehea:sal of sorrow of longings for soul communion with a friend, a true friend. At stated intervals during a year these eetings took place. I saw noth- ing. as with eyes covered [ conversed with him. Whenever it was impossible for me to be at the rendezvous, I sent letteis according to instructioys he had yiven me to Vienna, Paris and London, and the replies were al- ways written upon paper stamped with a ducal coronet and signed Anatole. One day I was astonished to hear him say, ‘I give you permission to look at me.’ Quickly I raised the bandage and saw the handsomest young man I bad ever beheld. O7ering me his hand he said: ‘If you have a little friendship for me, you will understand that you onght to save me. Todo so, leave your home; come to mine. You will be rich and powerful.’ I was stupified, but declined Anatole’s offer. Not long atter Iwas examining some poto- graphs in a shop window, when ‘T was startled

to see, ina prominent position, that of my friend Anatole. Underneath was written *S. M., Louis H., Roi de Baviere.’” Who knows? Pethaps had 1 accepted his offer King Ludwig might be living at the present time.”

sian agents are organizing another rising of the Ghilzai tribes against England’s ally, the Ameer of Afghanistan. The Ghilzai chiets-have received large supplies of Rus- sian arms, ammunition and treasure, and are acting under the direction of Russian officers. The enormous concentration of Russian troops and war material at Merz, Samarcand and strategic points threatening Herat, indicate an early Russian advance in the direction of Herat, and give color to the reported subsidizing of the Ghilzais by the Russians. It has leaked out that the

cubinet that the Ameer will shortly require effective support, and asked for sanction to push forward troops to Candahar for that purpose.

The application is under consideration, and in the inean time the Indian authori- ties are taking matters in their own hands, as usual, and making the necessary dispo- si ions of troops and stores in anticipation of orders for an advance.

Victimized Many Women.

A GAY DEJCEIVER COMES TO THE END OF HIS TETHER.

Edson Pease, who, in Ulmira, New York, has been known as Char es B. Thompson, is ip jail there for winning the confidence and ailections of a wealthy lady of Havana, and borrowing money of her under the name of \. B. Ho: ton and then abandoning her. The woman is Mrs, Delia Messenger, said to be a “grass” widow. VPease hed served five years

a Pennsylvania penitentary for deserting one wife and taking another, and not long ago mairied a reputable Christian woman in Elmira, while still having a wife livivng in Ithaca, The Elmira lady at once began an action for divorce as soon as she iearned his perfidious character. When the officers be- gan searching for Peace to serve the papers on him, he shaved off his heavy beard, trimmed down his moustache and dyed his hair and eyebrows, assuming the name of Horton. While thus changed, he visited Havana and made his conquest. Horton, not knowing that his identy had been discovered, said that he intended to marry Mrs. Messenger, and claims that all the money he got from her she gave to nie
