THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH. TIT^OAY JANUARY 19, 1866.—TWELVE PAGES. THE NEWS IN THE STATES. A WATER FAMINE THREATENED AT CLEVELAND. All the Pomps Stopped by lee—A Passen ger Train Shaken Up—The llaltl- more Failure —The Lom to Orange Growers, Etc. Cleveland, O., January 14.—There is imminent danger of a water famine here. For two or three cays larflo qunntitien of reedle ice haa been drawn into the tunnel leading from the Lake crib to the pumping station. There ore four pumpa with a combined daily capacity of 40,000,. 0U0 gallon. Last night one pump stopped, and another stopped this morning because of “the ice. The two remaining pumps wero kept at work at intervals during the afternoon, but wero shat down this even ing, the supply of water having been cut off entirely. The cause of stoppage, as given by the water works officials, is that the stand pipe, which leads into the tunnel out at crib, and not the tunnel itself, is choked with ice. The top of this stand pipe is several feet be low the surface of the lake, and is covered with a grate to prevent the entrance of driftwood and other obstructions. Fine ice is, however, sucked through the grate, and has been solidly packed into the pipe by the force of the water. Five men have been at work all day try ing to dislodge the obstruction, but, thus far, without avail. The task is a difficult one, for the reason that it requires the ser vices of divers. Thero is but a small amount of water in the reservoirs, and the supply is practically exhausted. The west and south sides are without water, and this is the case with the east side, except on tho streets along the direct mains from tho Tcservoir. People who have wells nro using water therefrom, and thoso who are fortunate enough to possess a cistern drink rain water. Others are compelled to melt snow. Manu facturing establishments that depended on city water for their boilers were shutdown, and to-night water is being hauled from the river and lake to supply establishments that must run at night. The city is in a perilous position should a fire break out. In the business part of the city the department could do nothing with it. They could get no water and the only apparatus that could be called into service would be two or three chemical en gines. At 11 o’clock to-night the water works officials had given up all hone of removing tho ice from the stand pipe before to-mor row. Tho pipe is ninety feet in height land nine feet in diameter and is packed full of toe. It may be necessary to wait until the weather becomes warmer and ice thaws, for it seems almost an impossibility io remove the obstructions. ITS EFFECT IN FLORIDA. The Damage to the Orange Crop Estimated at 91,000.000. Jacksonville, Fla., January 14.-The weather moderated considerable during the day and has now returned almost to its normal temperature. The riae of the tem perature hna been very gradual for two days past, with a cloudy sky, which is very favorable, aa minimizing the damage in dicted by the cold upon the orange trees. Dispatches from all porta of the State con firm the belief that the cold wave carried frost to almost the extreme south ern end of tho peninsula and thero hi but little doubt that substan tiates the entire orange crop remaining on trees is frozen and spoiled. The precise effect of the freeze upon orange trees can not be determined until warm weather aets in. Probably overy tree in tho State will loae its leaves, and tho belief of the best observers is that most of the young trees, exoept where protected, are killed. A gradual thaw under cloudy skies is very fortunate, however, and the opinion now prevails that old and matured trees which have been relied on for producing a marketable crop of oranges are not serious ly hurt, and will not be unless exposed to warm sunshino within the next few days. Ita estimated that 600,000 boxes of oranges worth $1,0110,000 were destroyed by the freeze. NEARLY A DISASTER. A rauengcr Train Has a Narrow Escape From Wreck. New Yobk, January 14.—The north bound accommodation express on tho New York and Long branch railway, male up of can from Long branch and the Lake road winter resort of Now Jersey, was thrown from the track by a broken switch 2,000 Turds south of Mntteuwan, n few minutes before 2 o'clock this morning. Tho cars were filled with New York business men coming to theii city offices, and Monmouth county lawyers and jury men who wero on their wap to Freehold, the county seat. No one was seriously injured, though many were bruised and many excited with fright. A few yards from the point whero the switch waa broken a trestle bridge 50U yards long stretches across a deep gully. The baggage car of tho Long Drench section was first <1 railed but jump ed buck again on the truck. The other curs, after dropping down on the track, ran across the bridge, snapping the steel rails into hits and tearing ttio wooden structure into splinters. The rear coach lost a truck nnd waa drawn a long distance on ita door beams. The engineer heard and saw the accident, and realizing that tho only way to keep the cars from toppling over the tres- tlework waa to keep them moving, threw the throttle open and dragged the train across. Tho last cur nnd tho track and bridge are a total wreck. Queer State of Affairs In Kansas. Kansas Crrr, January 14.—A special dis patch from Leavenworth says: It has been teamed here that Attorney-Oeneml llrad- ford has begun quo irnmuiln proceedings in the State Supreme Court against the county attorney, mayor and other city offi cers, charging them with being in collusion with the whisky sellers.

Naw Yonx, January 12.—Ten thip wrecked sailors from the ateamcr Hylton Castle arrived here today. The vessel was a tramp steamer, loaded with com for Ra vens. She carried twenty-two people, all told. Twelve of these, including Capt. Calvin, are missing. The Teasel ■wan caught in Friday night's gale when about fifty miles east of Sandy Hook, the captain endeavored to return, but the ship was so badly crippled that she foundered in sight of Fire Island light The crew left the vessel in two boats, and, under command of the mate, with nino companions reached shore by the aid of the life-saving crew. The other boat has not been heard from. A SENSATION AT JOLIET. Arrival of a Nomberof Cowboy and Indian Cnnvlcts from Wyoming. Joliet, Illh., Jarury 13.—The sheriff of Johnson county, Wyoming, arrived here last evening with a gang of Territorial con victs, consisting of cowboys and Indians. The party had been on the road for a week, and was delayed by snow storms on the Union Pacific. The convicts were heavily ironed, and had worn their shackles con stantly since starting for Joliet a week ago. Their arrival created quite a sensation. They stepped from the cars headed l>y two powerful looking Arapoho Indiana bound together by log chains and heavy leg shackles. The Indians were both yonng men and excellent specimens of their tribe, fully six feet in height and with raven hair that hong half way down their backs. The sheriff ex plained that the Indians were convicted of killing beef in the Monntnna buffalo agency,the penalty for which ia from one to ten ycarc in the penitentiary. It is said that the Indiats at the Arapoho agency are in a starving condition owing to the small amount of supplies furnished by the government, and that these two wero actually suffering for food when they killed the beef. Although they bnd the sympathy of every ono at the agency, they were given one year for their crime, Their nninei arc beaver and Samuel, the former being the son of the bead chief of tho Arapahocs, AN UNFORTUNATE TOWN. Amatillan, Central America, Ilrstroycd by an Earthquake. Panama, January 6.—At 2 o'clock on the morning of the 18th uit., the inhabitants of the quiet little Spanish city of Amatillan, four miles south by rail from Guatemala city, about 500 souls in all, wore awakened by slight but frequent shocks of earthquake, which continued ail day until 5:22 p. m., when a very heavy shock wns felt which so alarmed tho people that they began to think of leaving their houses. At 5:36 p. m., the heaviest shock came, throwing down many walls end bruises already issuTed by earlier shocks. People wero thrown down, nnd the air was filled with dust from tho fallen above houses. Shock followed upon shock. The frightened people rushed to the largo plaza in front of the’ church of San Joan and dragged the image of their gnnrdinn saint, "Le Virgin do Rosairo,” outside the trem bling walls of the church and crossed them selves. No one thought of sleeping in what re mained of the houses that night, but re sorted to the square or open places where the houses had keen thrown down. Tho town of Amakitlan lias been very un fortunate. It was destroyed by earth quakes in 1830, which lasted from April 21 to May 30. In 1846 it was overflowed by the rising of the lake, and again, in October, 1852, when water gushed up iu the middle of tho streets, and on the 24th of tho month, when tho water sub sided. dead fish were foun I everywhere, the water became unfit to drink and many per sons perished of fever. Then again, it was destroyed by earthquakes in 1862. Lake Amatitlan is supposed to be tho crater of an extinct volcano. TWO TRAINS ON A SINGLE TRACK. Three Locomotives Wrecked and Four Men Kills,!, Michigan City, Ind., January 13.—A ter rible collision occurred on the bnltimore nnd Ohio railway near Coburg, a small sta tion two and one-half miles west of Alida, yesterday, whereby ono engineer nnd three firemen were killed outright. The trains colliding were both heavily loaded freights, the west bound ono being a double header, whilb the westward one was in tow of a mon ster locomotivo known ns n “camel-back.” The train in charge of the engine should have stopped at Alida for orders, but the engineer and flremuu, it is alleged, were both asleep, nnd they ran to the crossing at a high rate of speed and continued on a down grade to tho dreadful calamity wiiieh nwaited them. Roth trains were on a down grade and rounded a curve at the same time, going twenty-five miles an hour. The result waa three engines and twenty enrs of merchandise and live stock were' heaped into one unrecognizable mass. This caught fire and burned fiercely for some time. The engineer of the west hound train wss found with his Iicnd split open from crown to neck, and his face fell for ward upon his breast, while his brains were scattered around the locality. One fireman became pinnod in botweon pieces of the wreck, and was suspended by his head nn til he was literally roasted to deutb. A second fireman was cut completely in too and tho dismembered parts of his body were found some distance apart. Tho third was badly injured and died after a few hours of suffering. The other two engi neers escaped by jumping, DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVES Unseated In the House and lt.nul.Uran. Heated. Columbus, O., January 12.—The com mittee on privileges and elections in the House of Hepresentatives this morning re ported a resolution to unseat the nine Democratic members from Hamilton county. The resolution wns amended so as to pro vide that a hearing be Accorded the unseated members. Tire resolution was adopted un- dor tlio previous question, and the sent* were then declurerl vacant amid the greatest confusion. The nine Republican numbers came forward nnd were sworn in by the Speaker. They wero cheered by the Repub licans and jeered ut by the Democrats. The Speaker ordered the unseated Demoeiatic members to turn over the keys of their desks. Tho action to-day is un ample as. suranee of the election of Sherman. Ho will have twenty-oue majority on joint bal lot in the convention of the two branches to-morrow. A ISHAVK FARMER. Little Rock, January 14.—Some time ago a number of convicts employed in the mines nt Cos! Hill escaped by tunneling. An old fanner made his nnpeumneo ut the camp yesterday and callcrl for tho captain. He gave his name as James Johnson, and hail six of the fugitives sll in a row with their hands on each other's shoulders. He heard of the escape and believed, on account of tbe intensely cold weather, the man men would seek shelter instead of traveling. He located nine cf them, and last night, when they were sleeping in a hay-Btack, and captured their guard and five others. The remainder escaped. He believes he knows their location, and told the officer that he would soon return with more prisoners and claim the reward. Return of the KJyilreptiobta Patients. New Y'obk, January 1L—Dr. Killings and his patients arrived this morning in the French steamer Canada.

Billings state* that his mission haa been highly successful. Tbe voyage to New York waa a very pisaaant one, the weather being remarkably fine for this season of the year. On January 6th Mrs. Regan gave birth to a son, both mother and chihl doing well. FLORIDA NOT SO HOT. A Hacon Man's Trip to tbe Land of Oranges. Oblando, January 13.—The general im pression abroad is that Florida ia a land where there is no suffering from cold, but your correspondent has found it quite to tne contrary. I left Macon last Monday night on the East Tennessee, Virginia anil Georgia railroad. Had a pleasant tnp in one of Mann's boudoir cars as fgr as Calla han. Here I left the Savannah, Florida Western railroad on Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock to await n train on the Florida Rail road and Navigation Company for the west. Had a fair breakfast at the Central Ho lei, where 1 remained till 12 m. Heard tho nsnal amount of talk about the advantages of the section as a conntry for oranges. Wns taken out by a land agent to see a tree that had withstood all the events of twenty- eight years, and from which oranges had been taken bv the thonsand. At 12thetrain came and 1 got aboard. We traveled on till we reached Baldwin, where we were detained one hour for some reason not known. I could have had a good dinner at this place, but was told that the regular dinner bouse was at Starke's, and that we were dne thero at 1:30 p. tn.. fcui, alas, it was 3 when the negro brakemnn sung out: “Starke -fifteen minutes for dinner." I said to him, “You ought to give U3 more than fifteen minutes for dinner, you’ve kept ns waiting so long.” “Well, boss, you'll find thnt long enough to eat all you'll find at Starke." The darkey was right. We had a meagre dinner, for which we wero asked to pay seventy-five cents. Wo were delayed all along, and arrived at Tavares several hours iwhind time. Then it was an honr before we got off for Orlando, at which point we arnvedat 1 o'clock at night; went to the Magituliu House, found every room filled, asked for and obtained the privilege of sleeping on a settee in the par- lt was awfully cold, and, having no cover ing hut an overcoat, we worried out the balance of that night in great dislmp. Morning came and we found good quar ters, but it was terribly cold. Tho oldest inhabitant never saw such weather in this country. Tho oranges nro frozen in tho trees, and iMs feared that many of the trees are killed. It has caused great suffer ing here, because the peoplo are not used to cold weather. Many of the houses have only one fireplace; the bed-rooms are open nnd cold. The real estate agents are great ly worried: they deal chiefly in lands—not because they are rich or productive, but be cause of the lovely climate. But that dream has faded. The frost line has been moved down, nobody knows where. I find many people hero from the North and West who say they have suffered more here than at their homes, Urlnndo is a beautiful place nud quite thriving, and it is a pity they have had this blizzard among them, as it is feared it will cause n sod decline in the price of orange groves. A gentleman told me he had over 300,000 oranges on the trees which he feared would be ruined. He said that owing to the low price of oranges tho largest part of the immense crop in Orange county was still on the trees. I suppose you must have it cold in Ma con, hut certainly you caunot have suffered more than we have here. I shall start home, but cannot tell when I’ll get there. J. GLOOMY REPORTS FROM TEXAS. The Loss to the Cattle Interests In that State Enormous, Waco, Tex., January 13.—Tho storm which swept over Texas last Thursday and continued with but little abatement up to the present date is without parallel in the history of Texas in the extent of its severity and duration. Intelligence from cattle re gions of tho State are of the gloomiest and most depressing character. The loss in cattle will he great and cannot he approxi mated or estimated until the full extent of ilnmngo inflicted by the intense cold upon tho stock intorest is fully known. From Southwestern nnd Western Texas news is received that eattlo are driven against tho fences nnd are rapidly dying from cold. The loss will bo unusually heavy. From Bates- ville.inNorthwcsternTexas,news comes that great prairie fires have occurred iu that sec tion of the conntry, and that cattle are dy ing by tho hundreds from cold. Carcasses, it is stated, can be seen far and near, strew ing the barren prairies, and that tho loss will ho enormous, no provision having been made for the enre of cattle in those bleak districts, which are devoid of e-m.ything except grass. Tho loss to the cnttle indus try iu the Fiinhandlo will be very great, al though no reliable reports have been re ceived from thnt remote district. Ail wa ter pools and streams throughout the heavy cattle-growing distri ts of the States arc frozen over hard, nnd, adding to the gravi ty of the situation, a very heavy snow storm set in on Sunday night, uml| Texas, from tho Sabine to the Rio Grande nnd from the Red river to tho Gulf, ia covered to a depth from two inehes to one foot in snow. Indications this morning point to another full equally as heavy os that of last night. This will completely cover the grazing range, and na no proviaions have keen made for feeding, the death rate among stock from cold, will reacli a frightful proportion, nud entail a loss of millions. THE ORANGE CROP. Jacksonville, Fl\., Janaary 13.—The weather is much milder to-day. The low est temperature received nt the signal office last night was 22 degrees aiiovo zero. During the afternoon it rose to 43 degrees above, but slowly fell toward evening, nnd the probabilities are that it will go slightly below the freezing point to-night. This gradual rise in temperature will materially diminish the damages of the excessive cold of Sunday and Monday, and tho belief now is that beyond the loss of (ruit on the trees nnd blighting of the leaves and young branches, the orange trees have suffered no material damage. The cold wave made itself felt even at Key West, though there was no frost there. Throughout the orange region the fruit on tho trees wns frozen. Re|>ortB on this point are nniformly the same from every quarter. Tho gradual thaw will sura all trees except young ones. Death of the South's Wealthiest Man. New Orleans, January 13.—Colonel Ed mund Rirbanlson, a lending cotton mer chant of New Orleans, the richest man in the South and the largest cotton planter in the world, was stricken with apoplexy at Jackson, Miss., Monday nt midnight, and died before assistance could reach him. He was a native of North Carolina, and was worth from *10,000,000 to $15,000,000. He was the owner of nineteen cotton planta tions in Louisiana, Arkansaa and Miaaiisip- pi, covering over fifty thonaand acres of Die* In a Hlelffh, Rkadino, Pa., January 12.—While Cyrua P.

Majority Report of the Elections Commit tee on the Hoar Bill, Washington, January 12.—In reporting the Hoar bill to regulate the Presidential succession to the House, a majority of the committee on election of the President and Vice-President Bay it is absolutely neeessory to provide for succession under circum stances now existing, leaving further and more satisfactory provisions tor contingen cies which mny possibly arise to other measures hereafter to be proposed. As to tbe question of the advisability of changing the present law, the majority say that they oro confronted by many difficul ties that arise in nn endeavor to ascertain the constitutionality of the pr< sent system. There are grave doubts ns to whether the President pro tern, of the Senate or the Speaker of the House are such officers of the United States as in Un meaning and intent of the constitation could succeed to the Presidential office, the stat utes providing therefor to the contrary not withstanding. These doubts would disturb succession under the present statutes, and would, in all probability, lead to a contest that would disquiet the nation, unsettle business and disturb the peace of the conntry. After long quotations from Mad ison papers and early stat utes, the majority say it is shown that the propreity of this the prescut measure nt succession was charged by the father of the constitution, not only in the Federal convention, hut in Congress. It is true that no trouble lias arisen under it. but it is also true there has fortunately been no occasion to apply it to the settlement of tbe presidential succession, and it is per haps warrantable to say that if occasion hod arisen for it’s use, trouble would have probably ensued. A grave objection to the present system, in the opinion of the majority, is the fact that it merges the executive branch into the legislative branch of the govern ment, and annexes the powers and duties of the Chief Executive officer to the posi tion of President pro tem. of the Senate or Speaker of the House. As President of the Senate he would preside over proceedings in confirmation of his own nominations, and as Speaker of the House he could vote to sustain his own vetoes. Either House of Congress may expel ono of its members; hence tbe acting President might be ex pelled. After further discussing the sub- jeot, the majority concluded that the Presi dent pro tem. of the Senate and Speaker of the House are in no sense officers of the United States on whom Presidential suc cession can devolve. The majority of the committee think that Cabinet officers se lected by the chosen President of the peo ple, by and with consent of the Seunte, the representative body of the sovereign Statos, is certainly proper the succession to the administration of tho government for the remainder of tho term. In conclusion the report says: “The passage of this act will -meet tho just expectations of the people to provide for on evil that may befall us. And whetherit is porfect in all respects to meet the difficulties that confront us or not, it is much better than the present system governing the presidential succession nnd will at best put tbe question in its present shape at rest until it way be definitely set tled by a constitutional amendment or such other means as Congress may determine.” A Batch of Confirmations.

Tbe roads have been impassible un til tho present time and the newsof herre- covery could not be received before. The girl fell into a trance on October 26th lost.

When 5Iiss Dishnor awoke her mind was perfectly clear and unimpaired, her appetite and general feelings good hut her arms and legs were paralyzed. She says she was con scious during the whole time of her pro tracted trance, but though she exerted her utmost power to evince her consciousness, she could not move a single muscle. She says she had no physical pain until the fourth day of her sleep, when an electric battery was applied. Since then she has suffered a thousand agonies of the body, and at times it seems as if her mind would give way under the strain, nnd she now complains of trouble, physical sufferings, in consequence of the shock to her system.
