Tell the Truth. 51 1 (1 It 1" The Salt Lake Journal, otherwise :Pee Weo," has felt terribly annoy aver since Congress adjourned with out the special legislation for which a certain clique in Salt Lake, of which it is the mouthpiece,wire-wor- kcd and and lied in vain. When there was a prospect for a commission to investigate the affairs log-rolle- d, .s f leged were contracted on his own account, as he was supposed to be the responsible member of the firm! The defendant claimed that his brother was' not authorized to iucur debts without his sanction, and that he could not be held liable for orders issued without his approval and copy of the opinion of Judge McKean. of Utah, in the case of Haskins ts Wall Judge it was justice they were et at., in which he says rather than the iilarmed at.

The action of Judge McKean will be the subject of further wow prevailing in the country, the examination at the department of justsame crowd, begin to prick up their ice. truth and, like Pat before th ; ears aud their mouthpiece commences to bray again.

We hope the examination into Judge Mclvean's actions and decisions will be continued and extended to other causes than that referred to above. It is treason, rebellion and hostility to the Government for mere "Mormons" to question the wisdom, justice or legality of anything done by the autocrat of the Bench in Utah, but the Attorney General may step in where Mormons musn't tread, even if they dared to. Go on, Mr. Williams, continue the examination, and if you don't find something new under the sun you will need a new If nothing but the truth be told, pair of what would "Pee Wee" do to fill up its columns?

Liability of Merchants. The Supreme Court of New York in General term has decided a case of no little importance. In 18GG a merchant, carrying on an extensive business in the city of New York, established throo branches in different parts of the country, one of them being located in Meadville, Pa. His brother had charge of the latter store, and bought largely of the firm if Claflin & Co., which, next to A. T. Stewart's, is tho most extensive mercantile institution in the Union, jud his bills were promptly paid. A lire reduced to ashes the Meadville establishment, and as there was no on tho place, tho loss fell co heavily upon the principal. This raused some delay in the settlement of his accounts, but they were finally adjusted. ''" a splendid '' " edifice was the Mead- spectacles. Non Compos Mentis. If George Francis Train is labor. ing under hallucination of mind, there is " method in his madness." He is now confined in the Tombs, upon 'the accusation of publishing and circulating obscene literature. The gaol has become familiar to him, and he is as much at home in a cell as in a palace. A" Committee having been appointed to inquire whether he was of sound mind, an examination was held with the supposed lunatic. Some startling revelations were made by him during the investigation. He asserted that Durant owed him $40,000 that all the banks and institutions in Wall street were rotten ; and that there was no money in the , country. These declarations do not give evidence of lunacy by any means. On the contrary, they indicate that even amid the wanderings of an exuber-an- t imagination, Train is still an accurate observer, f He is right,' when he says that Wall street is rotten, and when we speak of that narrow, dingy little alley, let it be remembered that it is the chief financial mart of the country, and that tho brokers shape and mould the finaucial policy of tho nation.

The Tcrrihle Storm in braska. Ne- Mr. Ambrose Grecnwcll, of the firm of Greenwell & Wright, arrived here this morning at 3.30, haviag with him twenty-one head of cat'.le and five hogs, the remnant left of a large drove which he was bringing from Iowa and Nebraska, when overtaken by the terrible storm which lately blockaded the U. P. R. R. Mr. Greenwell says the storm was the most terrific he ever encountered. It was with the utmost difficulty that he preserved himself from freezing in his efforts to save' the cattle. Snow drifted around the cars to the depth of fifteen feet on either side, and become so solid that wagons passed over It as on a subIcicles hung from the stantial road of nostrils the poor beasts to their knees, their ears were stopped with snow and their eyes with balls of ice. Every assistance possible was rendered bim by the conductors and officials on the paticularly by Mr. Dewell, but in spite of all he was obliged to leave his stock to perish in the cars, being assured that the Company would reimburse him for his losses. Senator Barton, of the Nebraska Legislature, also rendered assistance to Mr. Greenwell in his difficulties while laying over at Kearney station. Mr. Greenwell started from Grand Island on Sunday night, the 18th inst., and reached Kearney junctien about midnight. At this time the snow was falling fast, and the wind blowing a perfect hurricane. Word was received here by the conductor to lay over. They staid until Thursday, the storm continuing in its fury until Wednesday, prostrating the telegraph and snapping the poles like twigs. Mules, horses and cattle froze to death in the stables. The top of one of the cabooses was blown off. Two men, owning 150 head of stock at Wood River, lost 149 of them. Twenty head of cattle about two miles from the junction were frozen to death in the corral. Similar losses were incurred by all the settlers in the vicinity. Birds seeking shelter under grass and leaves, froze as they cowered down. A fije was kept up day and night in the caboose, but the water in the tank froze into a solid mass. Neither man nor beast could stand exposure to the storm for many minutes. The howling of the wind was horrible and incessant ; death was in the blast, and a ready shroud in the drifting, blinding snow. Many new settlors were moviug out in tlieip liftnistfail fin thn TirftirlA ami having no shelter but their wagon, in all probability died, and were buried by Mr. Greenwell says no the tongue or pen could describe th horrors of those few days. On his journey home he saw tho telegraph prostrated for about 3'0 miles. He is thaukful for his safe return and grateful to those who assisted him on his journey, The following particulars of the storm, iu which several persons lost their lives, is from the Omaha Herald, the account being obtained from gentlemen known to the editor : At Gibbon, where they remained till the blockade was open, it raged with almost iiulesoribuble fury the drifting snow in places heaping up to the proportion of mountains, while the wind swept ever the plains at a velocity of about 70 miles an hour, carrying with it everything of; a moveable nature. Realizing the danger they would incur by wandering Sen steps from the house where they were stopping, they concluded to secure the doors, stop up the cracks, and have a good time Ju general until such time rail-rea- . snow-drift- s. 1 . d, as they could with safety return to Omaha.

Judge Morse being one ot the imprisoned party, relieved the monotony of the situation; by re ating wonderful But while they incidents, jokes, etc felt themselves secure froia the violent storm raging without, there were other persons in the vicinity of Gibbon suffering the agonizing tortures of death by the slow process of freezing and suffocation. A man and his wife, living a few miles from Gibbon, ould not be found after the storm abated, and it was believed, at the time our informant left, that they remained buried beneath the ruins of the house, which had blown down during the storm,' and on which was heaped an immense snow drift. Every efl'ort was being made to recover the bodies. Three horses, owned by a resident of Gibbon, perished by suffocation. Another man had fifteen head o. fat cattle in a corral, out of which tbey succeeded in making their way, wandered off to the river and were all drowned. Fivo more in another corral met the same fate. A herd of cattle, valued at six thousand dollars, stampeded, and it is supposed all perished, as none of them had been found alive up to Wednesday evening. At Woed River no lives are known to be lost, but the loss in stock is very great. The farmers were organizing themselves into companies for the purpose of sc:uting the country to ascertain the extent of damage done, and to render such assistance as may be necessary to those who survive and may require it. The river was completely bridged with snow, ranging in depth from fifteen to eighteen feet, and was packed in between the bunks so hard that a loaded wagon could pass over it with perfect safety. One man picked up several prairie chickens that were alive, but so benumbed ihcy could not fly. At Lone Tree, a boy who stepped outside the hotel to get some fuel was unable to retrace his steps, wandered a short distance away from the house and perished. While search was being made for him, the body of a trapper was found. It is thought more lives were lost than those already reported, as nothing can be heard of the immigrants that were camped along the line of the road before the storm commenced. Two meu are known to have perished near Grand Island, and a great deal ot sleek is also reported lost. Some of the hogs taken out of the freight train at Lone Tree, which was unable to were found to b of and had the destitute bair, entirely appearance of having just been dragged from a vat of scalding water. This was caused, probably, by the heat becoming so intense in their endeavor to keep on top of the snow. But very little stock was removed from this train alive. It will be some days yet before the full extent of the damage done is known. -- side-trac- k, .Large " RHCBAiK-lMr- 's er ed at our office w finest ..pie-p,.- r We long time ia fart the JwT8-!r;'- JU summc,.
