The storm has scarcely modified its violence for a moment since Friday. The work of each day has had to be recoinmencejaron the morrow. There are cuttings ctfGt&ining eighteen feet of snow, some of them half a mile in length. Owing to the height of the drifts on Die mountain each shovel full of snow must pats through the bands of four men before it can be got clear of the tracks. Besides this, avalanches come down occasionally. Many trains aro buried out of sight. Fortunately all passenger trains are at stations and the company is looking after the passengers' comfort. If the storm would ceaBe, the army of men employed bv tho railroad company, would soon clear the tracks. A MYSTIFIED WIFE. She I>oe. not Know Whether her Uu.bend la Alive or Not.

As explaining tbe feeling which led to this state of things, both parties charge the other with inciting to riot and bloodshed. The ‘ ‘prohibitionists brought Ham Jones here and he delivered a speech and preached a ser mon. The anti-prohibitionists allege that' he advised the prohibitionists to be ready to fight if it should be found necessary in order to secure the polling of their votes, and that he even recommended that they should go to the polls armed with pistols. The prohibitionists admit that Jones made nse of some such expression, but they insist that he meant that the pro hibitionists should stand firm for tnoir rights and nothing more. Immediately after the terrible, tragedy such expressions as these werccommon: “It was 8am Jones's work," and "How will Ham Jones feel when he hears to what his incendiary utterances have led?” Jones was to-day asked what he bad to say about these statements. He replied “I think my name is connected with that affair In order that it might he more sensational. I never made an incendiary speech in my life in the town of Milledge- ville. I said: You men who ore prohibi tionist, be prndent, but stand to your convictions. If these liquor men try to frighten you by cursing yon and drawing their weapons on you, tell them yoa have been bnlited as long as yon intend to be, and if they can die for their in fernal traffic you can die in defonse of the helpless women and child- dren of this country, and if they want to ran that game of guns and pistols on yon, tell them they must strike the first licks,and then you will feed the buzzards with them if you can, hut don t you ever strike tho first blow." Continuing, Jones said: “A man literally takes his life in his hands when he goes out to talk prohibition down there. They blew up my stable with dyna mite, and sent me threatening letters* not to come to Atlanta to talk prohibition." Another Strike ot Hallruad Laborers—Alt Uutet at McCormick's— Firing Out the Knlfhts. Fobt Wokth, Tex., March 2.—Thorowns universal surprise in this city last night at a great railroad strike which began at 5 p. There was no intimation that it wrh coming. When the whistle blowcd evei machinist, car repairer, section hate , baggage handler—in fact, every man who belongs to the Knights of Labor Assembly, stopped work. The business of the Texas Paciec and the Missouri Pacific was greatly retarded for a time. Throe hundred men have stopped work tho instant orders came from Hedalia. The causes are said to he numerous, but the chief oue is that (1.00 per day is de manded as a day's wages for skilled labor ers, who now receive (1.10 per day. Other masons aro the refusal to make eight hours a day's work, and the discharge of the men at Marshall. No railroad work of any de scription was done last night, except the movement of passenger trains. Chicago, March 2.—The McCormick works opened as usual this morning. There were large crowds of idle men ibont the works, but tbe presence of the police pre vented any outbreaks on their part, even thoogh they had contemplated one. Five hundred and forty men reported for work, an increase ot two hundred over yesterday. The managers of the works expect the num ber will be increased to S00 to-morrow. The officers think the strike is practically ended. Hr. Louis, March 2.—A dispatch from Crystal City, on the Iron Mountain road, thirty miles below St. Louis, says tronble is brewing in the glassworks there. It ie said that the president of tho company no tified tho employes several days ago that all Knighta of Lubor in the works mast leave the order or the works. In compli ance with that notice, twenty-aix of the men were discharged yesterday, and notice was served on the remaining Knights that they wonld be given two morn days in which to make up their minds. The action ot the company has created a great deal of excitement at Crystal City, and it may spread to St. Louis, where the headquarters of the Knighta of Ijabor for the district nre located. Tbe ttal City Works employ GOO men. tLWAi xKE, March 2.—The Bay View nail mill started up yesterday momiug with a force of abont 200 men.

They held that the company has not treat'sl them properly. Tbe entire system of tbe company is affected. This includes the Canal and Conrtlandt street railway, the avenne Unis and thn Grand street ferry brauch. One of the drivers stated that the striko was ordered by their association on account of the company trying to indirectly injure the drivers and finally to dispose of them. Tho company took on a number of new men lately and intended when they were broken tn to ““ discharge the employes who look part in tbe late troubles, and give the new men their places.

How many timid eyeB, shrink ing from the fathomless gulf beneath, have turned toward the far distant peak Gau tama trod, and caught new courage from the sight! How many ears, ilulled by the terror of the dizzy climb, have heard tho sweet sound of the holy bells in the shrine whicli covers Gnntamnii footstep, and car ried the celestial music into pious hearts! If the petitions of these hearts could sssnmo visible shape Ssmanala would be wrapped iu a perpetual cloud of prayer from huso to summit. All the year round tho pilgrims come and go; there is not a single day with out its few or many; and in January, Feb ruary anil March—the dry seuson—they are here in thousands and tt ns of thousands. Men and women so old that they have to be carried in choirs and on the bucks of others; children so yonug that they are carried in mothers' arms; the sick and the crippled who must be assisted at every step—all dressed in white robes, all chanting tbe solemn songs of creeds that know not Christ. A day aud a night are required for the toilsome and perilous journey ; and at night the pilgrims earn' torches, which, seen from above or below, look like a winding, wavering stream of fire, Hashing hither and thithtr through the darkness. If possible BAM JONES IN CHICAGO. The Wickedness of the People or That Wicked City Causes the Georgia Evangelist to Gasp for llreath. Chicaoo, March 2.—At the First Baptist church yesterday the Rev. Ham Jones Haid: "Now I want all those who got down on their knees and prayed before they came to this meeting to rise in their seats. ’ About twenty persons arose. The even gelist leaned against the pulpit and seemed to gasp for breath. “You may he seated now," he said, “Why, brethren, you wonld find more prayerful Christians in Hong Kong than thero are in this meeting to-day. It you can't pray I want you to take your carcasses out of here. I don't wantyou to come here if you can't pray." An old man sitting in one of the front pews leuped to his feet and in a faltering voice said: Mr. Jones, I don't think it is necessary for persons to get down on their knees tc pray. I consider myself a good Christian, and I don't like to hear such talk.” I wss shout to say something,"exclaimed the Rev, Mr. Kcudder.of Plymouth Church. “I prayed wbilo on my way to church. God does not demand that a man shall gat down on bin knees before his prayers aro heard." ' 'Any moro exculpatory remarks?" drawled th* evangelist. Dr. Hcuddsr—“These ore not exculpatory remarks." A man with an eur-trumpet arose and pnnetuated his remarks with a vigorous standing on the rostrum. “Mr. Jones,” ie began, “I did not have time to get down ou my knees to pray for this meeting. I have spent nearly the entire day reading the Ilihle to a gambler and a drnnkard, and I think I am entitled to respect here.” Other men anil several women began to stand up in various sections of the chnrcb, but a few explanatory remarks served tt ■till the tempest, and the revivuliat waa permitted to finish his sermon without fur ther interruption. In conclusion he said “Let us take our text to our homee and get some food out of it.” he extinguishes his torch and bows to the ground in silent adoration. Then all stand motionless, looking toward tbe glowing eastern sky and waiting the rising sun. When at last the mighty orb, forever old, forever young, burets above the horizon in blaze of dazzling glory, every head is bowed, every hand lifted and every voice cries soadn! snadtt! | Amen!

Tim angel said: "Surely this must bo an eminent ser vant of tho Most High, whose spirit is dead to Inst and lives on high," The angel hastened over land and sen to find tnis man, bat conid not find him in the earth or heaven. At last he exclaimed: 'O Lord!

A Klirlne Hewa from tlie Everlasting Rock —A Mountain Altar. HI. Iaiula ltepublicaii. How many of oar readers have ever heard of Batnanala? Yet to more than half of the hnman race it is a household word—a name as familiar and as sacred as Jerusalem is Jews and Christians. It is at once a mono mint of nature's tremendous force and man's transcendent faith; u monument old us earth and as enduring, which has seen the beginning of all faiths and will see thn end of them aU. Compered with it, the uyrsri'Js ore of yesterday; and, while ti e pyramids are slowly yielding to the assaults of timn, the storms and shoezs of innumerable ages have bail no perceptible effect upon Bamanala. There it stands, as strong and serene in its lonely majesty as “when the morning stars sang together, and nil the son* of God shouted for joy." Oat of the green depths of the primeval forest of Ceylon it rises 7,000 feet above the level of the sea; a mountain altar, a shrine hewn from tho everlasting rock-an altar which had priests and sacrifices before Bolomon laid the lint stone of Jehovah's temple; a shrine « hicb has more pilgrims than the Kasha of Mecca. Before man hod learned to “look through nature up to nature's God/' tbe simple-minded savage* of Ceylon fancied that the lightning and tbe thunder were born among the lofty crags of Bamanala, and gazed upou the wonaroai mountain “till wonder grew to worship.” To them and to their children it became a colossal idol; every cliff snd gorge, every tree and stone, every babbling spring and rushing stream, bad its spirit to be feared and pro pitiated.

Later in the evening 1 sat near enough to Mis* Htanhope and Mr. Tbroughiint to overhear their conversation. •*8o you really are to be appointed president of thia new road that la to be built by ynnr great through line system, if you succeed tn passing this railroad commission blllT" spoke Miss Bun hope, in a measured, quiet tone, that defied one to tel! whether she was asking a question, reiterating a re mark of Mr. Tbroughline’s, or talking In a dream. Mr. Throughllne. whose ambitious hope was in his fee*, flushed with pride as be responded: "Yes, and wban 1 am. old man Allrich, my wife 1 father, promises to buy me 9100,000 worth of stock in the reed.’* Yonr marriage hae proven, then, a paying match." remarked Mis* Stanhope in that same In definite tone, while her very soul revolted at the perfidy of this man who had bartered her lot# for proepective wealth. Throughllne hesitated before speaking again. When he did. be eaid: "Yet. 1 hope so." Mr. Earnest joined the coupl* Just then, to claim Mias Htanhope for a waits. As they moved off together In the graceful no- cannot be quenched by tidal vavoa of honor. It waa five minutes before ho spoke.. He said: "The vote will not be reached to-morrow till 4 o'clock In the afternoon. Give me till noou to re- flocL I’ll send you a note here then." Finding him yielding, she was willing to give him more timn. and accepted bla proposition, say ing. as they separated in the parlor: "llevengo me, if you wonld marry me." Tho party di«pen>ed soon after, not before how ever, Miits Htanhope had gone up to Mrs. Through- line, and congratulated her ou the able manage ment of the railroad bill by her husband: aaylng tba» she hoped to-morrow would crown his brilliant work with success. Bhe forgot berrelf in bidding Throughllne good uigbt, and stroked his baud while he was Inviting her to witness his great victory on the morrow. I wonder If tigere stroke the game. Those strokes were poisonous with hate. Thoy f« d ’s vanity, like arsenic that women take to beautify themselves. The next day at 12 o'clock Miss Stanhope walked her room, displaying more agitation than was her wont, even wheu alone. Hho stroked her left hand, which was resting on her waist, with an lm- petuonslty that made the strokes Almost temper slaps. Frequently she stopped and looked anxious ly out of the window'. After an hour of this senti nel guard, the stopped for a long time before a picture that was stuck in the frame of the looking ;lass. It waa a cabinet photograph of Mr. Through- >e. A small red heart was paiuted ou the breast it. Through the heart ran a dagger scarf pin, which had been a present from her to him, and which he had returned on the eve of his marriage. Aa she looked earnestly at the picture, a low mournful exclamation of regret escaped her lips, was: No blood: oh, no blood yeti" By one o'clock no message had been received from Mr. Earnest. Miss Htanhope dressed aa coolly as if arraying herself for a dinner party. Her at tire wm her most becoming strejt costume. Barring the bad taste of the train it waa a tasty dress. Bteel grey velvet was the material, cut princes* eu- train. The moonstone pin nestled iu a cat-rick- macros* lace collar. Two bread autiuue silver bracelet* an if they were outside cuffs clasped the sleeves to the wrists. Her hat waa a light mouse- colored alpine man's hat, graced by a long gray ostrich plume. A fur-lined gray circular waa the wrap. By two o'clock she entered the carriage to go to the Btatehowxe, with tlie calmness of a wo man who was about to make her last will and testainent- Arrived at the rapitol, she went to the gallery. Hho seated herself again under tbe portrait of Den llill, where she had a better view or both Mr. Ear- estand Mr. Tlmiughlinr. Her entrance <*n«*dall eyes to be turned towards the gallery. Mr. Thr- oughline fluHued with vain pleasure at her coming to see his triumph. Bhe smiled at him a* one might part the lips when trying to hide tho pain of bitter agony. Mr. Earnest glanced up, too. When he saw who had entered, he instantly turned hia eye* on hi* desk, where he kept them Intently. tlie railroad bill, contrary to ex pec- »n being taken, although it waa but a clock. A page ran quickly to Mr. Earnest, who handed him a note. Iu a few minutes I saw the page de liver it to Miss Htanhope. Thia 1* a copy of the note; “1 cannot Malcolm." His head was buried lo his hands on the dosk while Mis* Htanhope read the note The House waa in lutense excitement Bpeaker Little sat with eager eyes on each voter aa he voted. Tally clerk Hansell held his left baud to bi* car as he checked the votes. Tbe repo* tore were at their desks, with swift pencil snd ready ear. Every member had a tally sheet on his desk, which he was marking '.rith eager anxiety. Bcnatora crowded against tbe rear wait Citizens and friends and opponeut* of the bill thronged the gallery. Alex. Htephens smiled com placently from hU handsome frame and through his canvas window. Den Hill, with his right fotc- fluger uplifted In oratorical gesture, scorned to warn the on-looker*.

He again pressed bis suit. This time he was not repulsed. Mia* Htabhope reproved him for not loving her saffi- ciontlv. "All I can say la, mv dear Lucre tie," humbly pleated Mr. Earnest "that I wieh I had th* oppor tunity of proving It more than by words."
