It is reported that a lumber of lives bavo been lost in the terrible blizzard now prevailing in tho -western part of this State, and it is believed that hundreds of cattlo and horses have been frozen to death. Tho new bomosteads of the suffering settlors lire quite a distanoo from tho railroad and full dotails cannot bo learned for several days. In tho newly organized county of Perkins tho death of a man and a boy is reported. They were attempting to make their ranch, twenty miles from Ogallala, when the storm overpowered them. Both wero frozen to death. Another man, named John Grant, who bad been on railroad construction work on tho Black Hills extension of the Burling, ton and Missouri Kiver road, was found dead a milo from camp. lleports from Kansas state that deaths from cold and hungor aro constantly coming in from the moro thinly populated districts, and that many isolated portions havo not yet been hoard from. L. 0. Clark, living near Golden, Grant County, left his family at homo to go to Hart land, the nearest railroad point, for tho pur poso of gotting coal, his family being without fuel. Ho left Hartlond lato Monday night and tho next morning was found six miles from borne, lying by the sido of his horses, frozon stiff. Clark's wifo and three children had in tho moan time nearly perished, and had only saved thomsolves by leaving their honso and taking rofugo from tho blizzard in a cavo. Two deaths aro roportodfromGrcoly County, i on tho Colorado lino: A brother and sister named Robert and A Sarah Holznpfel, who lived on a olaim in au unsettled part of tho county, found thorn. selves without fuel Sunday ovoning. Thoy toro down a small shed to burn tho lumber, and that night all but the Email amount which they had themselves burned vas stolen from thorn. Early in tho morning tho young man went to tho town of Horace, about seven miles distant, and succeeded in getting 200 pounds of coal late in tho after, noon. Being obliged to travel against tho furious wind thon blowing, ho did not roach home until nearly midnight. Ilis limbs wore then numb, and ho was so exhausted that it was witli great difficulty that ho gainod admission to tho house. He found his sister in bed, insonsiblo and almost stiff. Sho had boon without fire all doy and tho poorly built house afforded her little protection. Al though the young man was almost frozon, ho tried to rovivo his sister, but without avail. A farmer named Johnson was found dead near his houso In Grcoly County last Tues day. Ho was out looking for fuel and per ished. A widow named Mrs. Biloy and hor two little children perishod in tho storm of Mon day night noar Dighton, in Lano bounty. Thoy woro without fuel and the storm came Ieo suddenly upon them that thoy wero unablo to get it. Tho -woman's eldost son started out in tho storm to get coal. Ho was ovw como by tho intenso cold, but fortunately vandered to tho house of a neighbor. Ho was unablo to speak and his arms, caand foot wero frozen. His llfo was saved, al though ho will probably lose his feo Tlioro aro also reports of groat Buffering in Clark County, on tho Indian TorriSory line. A family of four were travelling ovorland, and, being but ton miles from home and sev eral miles from any other houso, determined to reach homo that night in npito of tho terri. bio storm. The horses were overcome, and tho family was oblipod to abandon tho horses and wagon and walk to tho nearest house. A two-yoar-old child froze to death in its father's arms before shelter was reached, and others woro also badly frozen. The condi tion of tho people in 'Wostorn and South western Kansas u very bad. This part of tho State has boon only re cently settled, ?ud somo of tho counties aro still unorganized. Nearly all tho people set tled on Government olaims and wore without inonoy. doendingentirely on tho crop to bo raised hid all. Tho crop, however, was a total failure becauso of drought, leaving the peoplo destitute. Tho majority of tho pcopio live in rudely built houEcs, which afford very littlo protection.

Not tho great blizzard now raging in the Vost, but its twin brother, a wind cyclone, is oxpocted to sweep down upon Now York within the noxt twenty-four hours. The wise man in the Enuitablo building, after painfully poring ovor his mass of ro ports, gave out tho opinion to-day that the cyolone would arrive lato to-night and would rcaoh its intensity by about 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. He predicted that tho wind will reach a vo. locity of at least forty miles an hour, and that tho thermometer will bo sent down to zero. New York Marked. Wheat.

It la known that she went to the college and remained but a short time, but her subsequent moicmenta aro undiscovered. Mldnlxht came and Hill she did not come Mr. and Mrs. Miller be came thoroughly alarmed and the police were noti fied. The pupils at Mount Auburn Institute le.irned ot the disappearance and tho news spread. Miss Long wus a pupil ot Teyla Vlgna at tho Col lego of Music bhe seemed devoted to her work ami gave promise ot becoming a flue artist. Very little Is known of the young lady at the col lege. She waa always present during class hours und If she received any attentlona from gentlemen the Faculty of the college neer noticed tt. Among the theories advanced was one ot elopement, but no young man had ever called ou her where alio boarded and any Inclination towards tho aoclcty ot gentlemen waa never betrayed tiy Miss Bessie.

Thcyouuglady had mailed a letter to her brother the day previous to her disappearance and this despatch teemed to be a reponc to tne contents ot ber letter.

'rue school closed for the Christmas holidays yesterday and most of the pupils went home. The L-jugelstors had tnelr tickets purchased and berths enraged to go to ltussellvllle last night, and this clrcumstanco aJUa to the strangeness of MUs Bessie's unexplained absence. To-night the brother arrived ln the city and regis tered at the Bt. Nloiiolaa. He utonce repaired to the Mount Auburn lnstltuto, where he was met by Tna Would correspondent Ho appeared much Ir ritated over the gossip afloat, 'and slated that yes terday he recehed a letter from his sister to the ef fect that she had becu quietly married yesterday morning ln this city. Her husband' name was not glveh, and Mr. Long was unable to tell any thing regarding him. He b;id not been aware, he atatod, that his sister was receiving attentions from any person. It Is uudentood that the matter baa been plarcd ln tho hands of prlvato detectives. Tc-nlghl telegram were received from llersle's home and from friends of tho faintly In Louisville.

HIS FATHEft WA.NTS HIM HANGED. Tbe Cruel Murder for which clement Ar lliur Hay Is an Trial. Hosnr, N. Y Dec 3L The trial ln this city of Clement Arthur Day, for the murder of Josle Kosa Cross, will be concluded to-morrow. Day Is a shift less, good-for-nothing fellow, about forty years old. Last spring, while living ln this town, ho becamo lmlmato nth Josle UoBa Cross, a young married woman Who was not living with her husband. Last February, ln spite of hor mother's protestations, Mrs. Cross left home with Day and they went vis iting ind tramping through Oneida, Lewis and Jef ferson counties, where Day bad relatives and friends. Mrs. Rosa got a warrant for the arrest of f)xj for abduction and sent officers after blm, but ae was not found. Charles c Day, father of Arthur, au old man slzty-slz years of age, got tho appointment ot looktenner at Lock 00, on the Black Hirer Canal, near Boon vllle, ln this oounty. On Jane 8 Day and -the irirl arrived at the loct-house. T here they learned that a warrant wus out lor Day. There was also a letter at the lock-house for Mrs. Cross from her mother, begging hor to como home. Day opposed ber going and told the old man that It she went he would kill her. The old man persuaded her to write a letter In place of totng. About noon on Juno 0 she started for Boonvillo to mall the letter. Young Day walked along by her side a few stcpa, when ne suddenly drew a knife and stabbed her till she fell npou tbe atones of the lock. lie then bent over and continued to thrust the knife Into her. There were fuurtica wounds ln her breast. Ho then threw Iho body In tho canal. Finding that It did not sink he pulled It out again and bid It lu a thicket close atjhaud, covering It with underbrush. Ills father, who saw the murder, asked the son why ho did It, and ho replied that ho gncssed ho was crazy. He then washed the blood off the lock stones, threw away his knife, chanced his ulotbes and ran away, lleforo going he asked his father to bury the body that nlgnt, and alio said he would kill himself If the old man would bury him and Josle in the same grave. 'Iho mur derer returned to Iho scene of hl crime within an hour and was captured by the officers, whom ths old man had sent tor. Bach Is the story brought oat by tho thirty wltnosaes sworn by the prosecu tion, which rested Its case this afternoon. Tbe defense seta up that the murderer Is insane and not rcapou.lble for his acts. Witnesses rVr tho defense have testified that tho prisoner has been troubled with his head lor many years, thai he at tempted suicide by shooting somo yesrs ago, nnd a bullet still rests lu Ills skull. The deteuse rested at Or. it. and the court look a recess till 0 A. M. to morrow, when the esse will be tummed up and given to thelury. No doubt a veruict of murder in tho first degree will be rendered and tho pris oner will be sentenced to be nauged. Ho has never shown the slightest remorse for his crime. He sits apart from his conusel, assigned by the Court, and seems to take not the slightest Interest ln the trial. Ho admits the crime, aud before ihe trial began said that ho would plead guilty If he could be banned without delay. Ilia father scouts the Idea that hels now orhas ever been Insane.land says the crime was committed through pure cus-oedness," NOT THE STAR0T BETHLEHEM. If that Star Return.

Merrlman, the astronomer of Itutgera Col lege, the bright star seen In the cast during the early morning hours nowada a U none other than Venus. Thousands of pcoi le have been under tho Impression that tho t rlllant orb is tho Star of Bethlehem aud lovers have for aomo time presented plan: Ible cxcu.ca for remaining on tho watch until uvery late hour for Us appearuuee It Is certainly not the Star if llcthleher. said Trot Merrlman to-day. Threo hundred years ago a bright star appeared ln the north which U said to have appeared every 300 yeara since the birth ot Christ. Hut this conld not havo been the mysterious Star ot Bethlehem, as we are told that bright wanderer came and stood over toe place where Christ was.' It was, without doubt, a miraculous appearance that will not be repeated. If the supposed Star or Bethlehem returns It will appear near tho North Star In the constellation Cassiopeia. 1 h etar under discusdon and the ouo which has created so much talk and speculation la really Venus."

On Monday morning they wero rescued by tho steamship Etholbnld, into- whoso course by chanco they hod drifted, nml yesterday they wero safely landed in this city. Tho lost vessel was commanded" by Cnpt. N. 11. Fharo, nnd on Nov, 22 Bailed from York llivcr for Wilmington, Del. Sho had an tin. eventful cruiso up to last Friday, whou sho was sighted in tho roads and disappeared in full Bail in tho ovoning in tho Chosapeuko Hay. Saturday, by her enptain's account, found her rounding Ohincoteaguo Islnnd. Thero at nearly sunset tho disaster como upon her suddenly. A still wind from tho northeast, for which tho Kastorn coast is famous, sprung out of n calm in tho after noon and swept tho water into whito caps. At sundown, in n remarkably short spaco of timo, tho blow increased in fury to a liurri cano, sweeping groat drifts of black clouds seaward, darkening tho ending day, and almost in n moment's timo a squall caught tho littlo craft and completely submerged it by seas that leaped high ou top of each other over its decks, flooding tho cabins, swooping awav its provisions and setting its cargo adrift. Tho vossel tossed nil that night at random whilo tho storm after its first grent effort raged steadily. Tho sailors hold to anything on which thoy could lay thoir hands, and in tho din and darkness no man knew whether his companions wero living or lost. Whan tho light of Sunday morning camo, half, frozen thoy wore ordorod to tho pumps, and it wns found that H feet of wa(cr was in tho hold. Capt. Fharo, as best ho could, squared his vessel away beforo tho storm under baro poles. All day sho rolled in tho billows, dis oboying hor lielui, and on approach of tho bccond night added to tho terror of tho sea men by giving evidenco of sinking. Tho inoinbcrs of tho crow woro wenkoned nnd dis. heurtened by tlio cold and want of food. They wero ravenous for tho latter and began looking sullenly at each other liko starving wolves. Tho storm, partly abated, camo on again. Tho lights had been destroyed with tho first squall, and in preparation for tho second period of dnrknoss tho men lashed themselves on tho quarterdeck. Cnpt. I'hnro was distracted nnd noticed with much apprehension tho queer actions of ouo of tho crew, James Lemhart. His move ments suggosted either cannibalism or np. preaching madness. Happily for tho rest, it proved the latter. Shortly aftor midnight ho sot up n most pitiablo wail which ended in chaut-liko tones with tho words "Oh, Capt. Fhnro, for God's sake, shoot mo." Tho effect of this upon tho rest of tho men was fearfully depressing. Somo of thorn cried liko children and somo prayed. Tho captain cavo tho crazy man what consolation ho could. What might havo como of such n trial can only bo imagined, for tho approach of tho steamer prevented it from being n reality. The ICtholbald was sighted on tho horizon with tho first light of Monday's dawn. Tho rescuing boat run almost duly in thoir course. The madman was the only ono who failed to see her. To him in his ravings, it was only a dreary wasto of rain-bcaton sen. The tthol bald's lifeboats went down in tho water and brought tho wrecked crow aboard, and while thoy nto and wnrnied thomselvos in her cabin tho ill-fated, abandoned Fharo sank out of sight, showing how great had been thoir Iioril. Capt. Smith. of tho steamship, gavo lis unoxpectcd passenpors overy comfort ho could, and tho mad sailor, under the euro of the ship's surgeon, was milotcd. Ho is still aboard, ond it isundocitled what will bu done with lilm. All tho men bear scars of tho ropo with which thoy word bound to tho icy deck. They woro very weak yesterday, but nnutter nbly happy nnd contented upon reaching land again. Hlavcrv In Coinblnntlou, Before a final! audlenco In the rooms of tho Con slltutlon Club, No. 01 Madison avenue, last night, J.

Thecausoof tho decay of the Knights, the spoaker thought, was tho opposition which they have caused among tbe trades-unions and the organization of the American Federation ot Labor, 'iho speaker concluded that both bodies could thrive ln their appropriate fields of usefulness. Tno discussion which followed was opened by John A. Henry. He said: "No more pitiable inacblno for tho making of slaves has e er existed than the Knights of Linor. Iho head of such a combination was absolutely master. "How can n man do one act which, moro than anything else, will Impravo the condition ot the laborer?" he asked. "Apply jour remedy to the proper place," ho added, "at tho ton. and, If need be, let your reraody be a bomb or a knife.

Thoro wuro present Messrs. l'ortorsou mid Couluy, Lawyer MoIIuuli, of Windsor, and J. H. Clarke, tho lawyer from Toronto, who has floured lnruoly in this citsc. My namo is Isidor Cohnfold," bogan tho tenant of tho room. I nui in Caundit sim ply its a matter of choleo und do not co back to tho Pulled States simply because I don't caro to. I havo not foiled in business in Now York, but my business has fallen away simply bocnuso I havo boon on 11 trip for my health, I havo creditors in that city, but I will hnvo nbout 8260,000 with which to satisfy them. Tho fact is I havo offered tevcral times to settle with thorn for 100 cents on tho dol lnr, nnd Mr. Clarko, my Cntiadn nttornoy, will tell you tho Bamu. Through tho stub bornness of ouo of thorn I havo been unable to do so, as he disputed tho niannor in which tho proposod settlement was to bo mnde. These offers havo boon niado within tho last few days. Tho business in New York is goiiiB on slowly under trusteeship, but this is on account of my absonco. I loft homo on tho itdvico of my physician, nnd havo ro. itiaiued away on the ndvico of my lawyors. I first went WeBt to Chicago, and havo been travelllup backward and forward ovor siuco. Tho bonds you speak of aro tho personal tvroporty of tho lady who had them in Detroit. I did not liko to croHS the rivor to offer thorn for sale mysolf, rw I thought I might not got enough to suit her, bo I nil vised her to ongago John 1). Clarko, of Toronto, ono of tho ablest luwytrs in tho city. She did so. Mr. Clarko never sup. tioBed that thero was anything crooked about tho transaction, and ho was right. Tho bonds wero bought and regularly paid for. When I loft Now York I baa no bonds in my possession. Failed," continued Mr. Cohnfold, well, not much. I am n tritlo embarrassed, but my liabilities amount to about $700,000 und my assets to 1,000,000. I will go bnck in n few days and sou to matters personally. I am not nfrnid to return. My nssots consist of roal ostato und personal property. I think that explains tho whole mutter." Mr. Cohnfold would not hay who Frnnkio Olson is, boyond tho statement that sho is not his former housekeeper and no moiubcr of his family. At tho botol nhs Yraa registered as his daughter aud callod him "papa," but thnt was thoir littlo Joke. How sho got tho bonds Mr. Gohnneld would not say. Sho is a widow nnd has livod in Now York nnd Toronto. Ho hastravollcd under an assumed untno bo causo ovorybody know his right ono and if ho kept it they would worry hitu to doath asking him about Now York aud his trotting horses. This was especially intondod for reporters, with tho assurance that ho had not contribut ed ono dollar to pay tho attorneys of Mrs. Olsen, Mr. Gohnneld then clohed tho inter view. Tho Dotroit counsel of tho woman talks of starting it suit for damages ngaiust tlio bank, era who aroused tho suspicions of tho police nnd instigated tho arrest. Thoy say the only suspicious circttmstanco in tho eyes of Iho bankers was tho unusually largo amount of monoy displayed by u stranger in tho city who tried to transact business tit tho bank. Tho Cohnfold creditors and tho lawyors who net for thorn in this city, uro now quito convinced of tho identity of tho Mj-cnlled Hoffmun with tho ex. millionaire feather merchant. Whntovcr lingering doubt may havo oxistod wiw dispelled oarly this morning by n telegram from Lawyer Cunneld, of Mooro t Cunhold, tho Detroit representatives of George II. Lichtouheim. It wns to tho offect that ho had talkod with "Hoffman" in tho latter's olegant rooms at tho Crawford Houso at Windsor, and tlutt tho man bad admitted ho was Cohnfold. Mr. Cauflold further said that tho young woman who nttomnted to ncgotiuto tlio bonds was ouo of Colinfuld's daughters, who followed hint to Cuundu two weeks after his light from this city. Mr. Lichtouheim, Mr. Silvn. Mr. Tnnen baum and tho representatives of tho National l'ark ISauk, tho creditors who Jumped in so quickly with attachments ou tho $0'.),000 worth of bonds, woro uitido vury mad to-day by tho nows of tho return of tho bonds. They aro amazed at tho action of Super intendent of l'olico Ilorgman, of Detroit, in yielding up tho bauds. Mr. Jlltimonuticl, of Itlttmoustiol Hirscb, said I cnu scarcely bolioto that the bonds havo roally bcou given up. Tho attachments woro duly made, and it is nn outrago if our rights hnvo been ignored. It is nonsenso to lalk of doubts as to Cohnfeld beiug their owner. Tlio descrip tion of Holfuiuti tallied exactly with tho ouo wo ga oof Cohnfold. Ilis heiL'fit.w right, com plexion and tho color of his liuir and beard proved conclusively Unit ho was tho man who cheated our client, Mr. Lichtenheim, out of $120,0.10. Those) bunds wore worth 150.000 nt present market rotus, and Mr. Lichtenheim would hnvo oomo 111 for $30,000 of that amount. Tho bonds woro in tho United States and woro under tho jurisdiction of our courts. If we gctollloial information tliat Ilorgman has parted with them wo shall proceed ugaiiibt him. Wo boliove, however, thnt tho deputy shoritrs must have got somo security that thoy will bo produced in Detroit to await tho isstio of our suit." Cuhnfvld's promise, to soon como back to Now York, made in his Windsor interview, nnd his tardy claim that his ostato would pay 100 cents on tho dollars, aro denied by tho peoplo ho owes monoy to here. Ho will never daro to como back to Now York," said Mr. Liohtenheim to-day. Ho would rather be in Canada than in tho prison, cell which awaits him here."
