Look out!" was the terrible warning echoed by nearly 500 fishermen on this end of Loko Erie yesterday. A stiff sou'wester prevailing Beamed to have blown the water down the lake and, packing the ice, upheaved it The Older men read in the dread words n terriblo fate and made their way »o land. Taking the cue, the others followed. The ice at the entrance to tlio harbor aud along the south shore dri.ted down the river, leaving large spaces of open water between the hardy fishermen and land. A large number reached the shore in safety, but many are believed to have perished. Anxious watchers scan the lake and river trying to discover some signs of life on the many dieting cakes of ice. From the board of trade building several figures were seen running along the iee, and a sigh of relief escaiwd the watchers when the men were seen to gain the breakwater. By dark fully a dozen men could he seen on tbat refuge. Lower down in the river watchers saw dogs with sleighs, but without owners, floating down on Urge calces of ice to the sure death that awaited them alt Wls-;ara Falls. Two fisherman who made their way to land reported having passed a man several miles out who was seemingly injured They attempted to bring him with them, but failed, and were obliged to abandon him In order to save themselves. A telegram from Darby, N. Y., to the chief of police states that two men and a team who were engaged in cutting at Sturgeon point, twelve miles above here, are missing. This Is the earliest breakup over had on this end of the lake and was a surprise to everybody. All sorts of rumors are rife, and it is not believed that the total loss of life will be known for several days. THe fishing grounds extend up about 'twelve miles and many men were at tite upper end. It is believed, however, they escaped to the Canada shore. SHOOT HIM DEAD. 8UDDENLY FAMOUS. Ottawa, Jan. 5)1.—Foi twvei-al yearn there has been a strong and growing feeling in the dominion ]Dai liament in favor of the appointment of a permanent beard of railway commissioners, whose duty it would be to adjudicate and settle all matters in dispute between the public and the several lines of railway la the country; to regulate rates and to see that unfair determioMlbn was made in favor of one class of mercUaats that work to the detriment of the other. With this object iu view, and to test the popularity that the creation of such a board would meet with in the country, the government last summer appointed a commission to examine witnesses and take evidence at each of the leading commercial centers, that a report based upon this evidence might be laid before parliament when it next meets. In connection with the evidence taken, some very interesting facts have been brought out as regards the great disadvantage certain dealers are laboring under on aocount or the discriminating rates which have been made in favor of certain cities. It was shown at a recent sitting of the commission that discriminating ratee had ruined the Boor trade with the maritime provinces, which a few years ago Montreal enjoyed. It was pointed out that the greatest discrimination exists in through rates from Ontario points to the maritime provinces, the through rate being in some instances (25 per car lea than the local rate. This was attributed to be mainl} the result of competition by American lines, via Boston. The opening of the Intercolonial railway brought the millers of Ontario into closer communication with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia consumers, forcing buyer* to purchase of the Ontario miller by the offer of a discriminating rate of from IS to 30 cents per barwl. The Hon treat dealers contend that they should be charged the same rate on all flour or produce reshlpped by them to the maritime proviaoss. The rate from Guelph to Halifax during the summer months is still 40 cents per barrel, and from Montreal to Halifax 46 cents, although the distance is tome 400 miles shorter. As regards rates from the northwest via the Canadian Pacific, it was shown that while grain was carried from Port /Arthur to Montreal,'a distance of 600 miles, for 80 cents per bushel, the rate from Manitoba to Montreal, 1,500 miles, was 88 oents. The railway compauiee running lines through Canada are using every endeavor to defeat the appointment of a oommission, but the country is awakening to the fact, that as a matter of self-protection, such a commission is neoeeBoys Threw loe at the Guards and 'fliey In Tarn Hred a Volley of Bul- Followed by Policemen the ltobber* Ttake B»fsg» In the Cold Water—Find- Finding Beon'pe Impossible Thay Bud ThiJj* Une With tm Shots.

Y., Jan. 21.—A mfirder in cold blood was committed here last night. At 9:45 the residents along Railroad avenue were startled by the load report of a pistol. A crowd of excited men and women hurried into the street and flocked toward the store of George E. Mead. On the steps leadis* to the shop lay the body of William E. Mead, his son, 37 years old, covered with bleod, and with a ragged wound in the forehead. The body was warm, and was carried into the hallway of the house. Physicians were hastily summoned, but life waa extinct. Edward Sobirmer, s rominent merchant, shouted that he saw two men run away from the ■tore immediately after the report of the pistol and had started toward Chatterton hilL The crowd surged in that direction. The affair was reported to the authorities, and Chief of Police Pee, accompanied by two officers, at once followed the murderers. The police came up with them on the hill, but the men turned and ran back toward White Plains. They then plunged into the Bronx river near the large stone bridge and secreted themselves. The police hurried after them, but were met by a sharp Are. UoaoKEK, N. J., Jan. 81—Blood was shed again yesterday in the struggle between the coal companies aud the coal handlers. It was, as Is usual in those cases, the life of an out. skier that was taken, but the boy who was oarried home a corpse would have been alive and active to-day but for the strike. Hii death came from a bullet fired from a revolver in the hands of one of the Pinkerton detectives who are doing police duty along the wharves of the Delaware, Lackawanna sutd Western company. ■Chicago, Jan. 31.—Mrs. Van Zandt's eyes have been opened by the tfemark of Spios, to the effect that the marriage ceremony is an. ampty formality and would not — *o hi* relations with Miss Van Zand- i.i tue Lu.nl, and that,."with her acquiescence, remember," they would waive all ceremony and live together as husband and wife. Mrs. Van Zandt said, with flashing eyes: "I would rather see my daughter lying dead before me than living on such terms with any man. I would kill her with my own band first If that is the kind of a man Spies is, I am glad we have found it out in time." Mrs. Van Zandt, speaking of the manner in which she became acquainted with the Anarchists, ■aid: "We all work a great deal among poor Mr. Conger galled op the bill increasing the rate of pensions for total deafness to $20 a month. The house committee on agriculture has completed its regular annual appropriation bill. It appropriates 1556,000.

At Eighteenth street, Jersey City, the el»- of the Delaware, Lackawanna ana »e»!&*SJcaUrp«d cross Grove street. Opposite, on Grove a knot of the strikers stood idly during the afternoon. On the track embankment were a dozen Pinkerton men; below the latter was a stretch of meadow land. Ice bad formed on it, and a crowd of children—little boys and girls—were playing. Some were on skates, some had sleds, and all were having a merry time. The strikers looked at the Pinkerton men indifferently. Some mischievous boys on the ioe hooted at the special policemen. Then one or two, bolder than the others, began to throw small pieces of ice up at the embankment. The officers paid little attention to it until one sturdy youth, whose aim was better than his companions, struck one of the Pinkerton men in the breast. The man who was struck drew his revolver and shouted to the crowd of children to stop their firing. No sooner had he spoken than a heavy piece of ice landed on the dwuth of a fellow officer, loosening his teeth. He clapped his hand to his face with a cry of pain. When he withdrew the hand it was covered with, blood. Tfaen four revolvers sprang from as many pockets, and foftr shots rang sharply out in the frosty air. The nan had fired into the children on the ioe below them. ■nk it has rums fra , f— - religion with us all. I have made many sacrifices myself in order to aid them, and I became first interested in the Anarchists because I thought to do them good. Then I arrived at the belief that they were innocent men, and I grew to like Spies personally and thought I was doing his soul good. When I found that my daughter loved Spies, the thought of her marrying him seemed dreadful at first; but it was her idea to marry him after he was released. So it went along by degrees and we didn't see the consequences clearly." The house committee on territories reported back favorably the senate bill for the admission to statehood of Washington territory and a portion of Idaho, with an amendment admitting Montana. Another amendment requires the constitution of the new states to include prohibition against polygamy. Several shots were exchanged, when suddenly both men ceased firing. As the police closed in upon them both men turned their weapons upon themselves, and sent bullets crushing through their brains. The executive session of the senate was devoted to consideration of the treaty between the United States and the Hawaiian Islands, which proposes to extend for seven years the reciprocity treaty between the two powers. Tlie president, in his annual message to oongress, recommended the ratification of this extension treaty by the senate. The Van Zandt-Spies sensation took a drop because the public generally understand Sheriff Mataon's nature, and since he determined that the marriage shall not take place everybody feels certain that It will not. The sheriff is receiving as many congratulations over hie veto of the marriage aa though he had (topped a riot or ended a stockyard strike.

Boston, Jan. 31.—In the state senate Htm titer Morse offered the following preamble and resolution: The murder was doubtless the result of an attempted robbery. The murderers carried their revolvers cocked as they entered the shop. Their movements aroused Head, who came out of the room in the rear of the store and drove them back, at the sfme time crying for help. When the party reached the door the robbers became alarmed and turning round shot Mead. He tottered through the open door and without a word fell dead on the steps. His IWbw-is-U* Has Him Arrested. ■Bed tor Dlvoree. Pbovidenox, Jan. 91.—"Doc" Levi Wilson has been arrested on complaint of his fatherin-law, Mr. Caleb Farnum. Mr. Farnum was WiisoQ's bondsman in a suit brought against him, the case being an old one. Mr. Farnum believes that be has found out the true character of Wilson, and that ho was intending to leave the state. He therefore took stops to protect his interest ss bondsman. Wilson being unable to obtain bail he was taken to the state institution at Cranston. You have no legal right to forbid that wedding, because in the performance of such an act by the county judge the safety of the prisoners would not be endangered. Perhaps you claim to do it on a moral right From the days of Noah there has been a large crop of infernal hypocrites who have claimed socalled moral rights. Ton are a pretty specimen of a man to mount the high horse and meddle with morality. Ton are no better than a thief. I am no Socialist or Anarchist and think them next to lunatics. Ton war* born a pauper, and have been • public beggar ever since. In terror the youngs ten fled hi all directions. All bat one little fellow. He lay stretched oat on the ioe and did not move. There was a ragged hole in his forehead, jolt above the right eye, from which blood slowly oosed. The knot of strikers across the street rushed to the pond of ioe. The Phikerton men scrambled down the embankment at the same time, and strikers and officers met where the little fellow lay. Evsry Pinkertoo man draw his revolver and faced the stern. Indignant faces of the half (ioaen coal handlers. Than one of the former blew a shrill not* upon a whistle. In two minutes there was a soars of Pinker ton men on the seen*. They came running from the co«l] docks, a block or two away. Thus reinfarced the speqials slowly drove the strikers from the pond. The latter did not resist When the pond had been cleared the Pinkertoa man returned to where the small white of the bov stared up to the now darkening sky. The ragged hols in his forehead was eisgged with blood. Two of the men bent over him, and one plaoed his hand on the boy's heart. He was dead. Whereas, American fishermen in Canadian waters have been, and are subjected to unjust, and in some instances inhuman treatment at the hands of the officials of the Dominion government, by which the comoty of nations has been denied to vessels bearing the American flag. Whereas, The Dominion government has recently enacted non-intercourse and hostile legislation, has interpreted existing treaties to deny to our fishermen the right M purchase supplies in Canadian ports and other hostile acts unbecoming a friendly nation. Mead had a large circle of friends, and was greatly loved and respected for his sobriety and quiet manners. He carried on aJarge business, and was devoted to his family. Excited groups of cittasns are discussing the affair throughout the city. Mead leaves a wife and a young child. QUIET IN NEW JERSEY. Mrs. Wilson, wife at "DoeC.JVilson, has filed a petition in the supreme oourt for an abeolute'divorce. The divorce suit will be heard at the March term of the supreme court. The career of Levi Wilson, who says his real name is Mdeu, has of late become, familiar to the publio, though continually involving new surprises. That he need to introduce Miss Englee as his wife is shown by a letter which he Mmaelf displayed, and which has been published, and which the well known hardware merchant, Mr. Jbstico, of London, sent his regard* to Wilson and "Us wife," meaning Miss Englee. Hi* marriage to Miss Farnum created general surprise ilk the community, in view of his notoriety and her rnsp«cCahlllD/ and that at her family. But, it was tat the wonder of a day, and as Mr. Wilson and his bride apparently settled down as a loving couple, nothing more was thought of the matter until the recent revival of interest in Wilson's affairs. n» Senate WU1 MM Orgaalae Before Mood*?.

Not a Democrat was on the ground. On motion of Senator Fish, the organisation of the senate was postponed until this morning at 10 o'clock, and the meeting adjourned until thattims. Whereas, That if the Canadian government shall continue to refuse to furnish redress, the legislature of Massachusetts, now in session, favors the retaliatory legislation proposed in congress by the government of the United States, to the extent, if need be, of denying to Canadian vessels in Anwican ports the right to purchase supplies, and the further exclusion of all Canadian products by laud or sea from being imported into the United States until such offensive legislation and Interpretation of dkisting comety shall have been withdrawn and discontinued. All la all the sheriff has received (BO letters on the subject, and with the exoeptlou noted above, all have oom mended his action. Hundreds of women storm the jail, all anxious to sea Spies, and every one of them h turned away. None but relatives of the Anarchists ami their recognised legal advisers will be permitted to see the condemned men.

Brooklyn, Jan. 91.—The Eagle publishes the following: The of Labor have taken the initiatory stoparha-a inovement which promises to be the moat serious they have yet undertaken. It is no lees than a battle for recognition from the national government. A well dress ill man entered the office of the equipment officer, Capt. Whiting, of the navy yard. To the officer he refused his name, bat said: "I am from branch 49 of the Knights." He then handed C4RI. Whitney a paper bearing a sat of grievances, dated Nov. 96, 1886. He stated that the sailmakers employed by the government are hired at a lower rate than sailmakers outside, and the foreman employed incompetent men as first class mechanics at II and 11.SO Isss than union rates. Capt. Whiting denied this, and said that the grievances were unjust The representative of the Knights said: "I know nothing about how you conduct things.

New Havkn, Jan. 81. — For some time past t hoi e has been a decided coolness between the Connecticut grand lodge of Freemasons and old Hiram lodge of this city. The grand lodge was anxious to exercise'the same jurisdiction over Hiram that it has over other subordinate lodges. Hiram lodge argued that the grand lodge had no jurisdiction over it, inasmuch as the supreme body itself is much younger than Hiram. Tho latter body was organized hi 1750, and received its first charter from the Massachusetts grant! lodge. The C-onnecticut grand lodge hai just completed its ninety-ninth year of existence. It Is said that the secret work of Hiram differs from that authorized by the grand lodge. Tho difficulty seems to have culminated when the grand lodge, which has been holding its 1 communication in this city, deposed the threo la ding officers of Hiram lodge on uccount of their failure to comply with the . ©quests, not to say commands, of the grand jody. The officials deposed are old Masons, :ind each has been a pastmoster. ' The outcomo of the difficulty will be watched with interest by the craft in this state.
