Two-Story House Burned.
Houston, Tex., Jnn. 20.—In the outer part
of the Fifth ward between 11 and 12 o'clock
last night a two-story frame house, the prop-
erty of Mr. Pat Burns, caught firo and was
completely destroyed. The alarm could not
bo sounded by tho telephone conioany be-
cause the appliances were so frozen that they
could not be operated. Tho tire companies,
however, were notified and the boys went out,
but could not make tho run in time to do any
good, other than preventing the Haines from
spreading to neighboring buildings.
Two or throe days ago an occurrence in the
telephone olHce came near causing a big lire
in the market house, ami doubtless would have
but for quick work on the part of City Tax
Collector Robert Adair. Tho telephone office
is located in tho lower tower of the market
house and the switchboards caught fire in
some way, hence the operators could not
sound the alarm, but ran down stairs and
called for help, which was promptly rendered
by Mr. Adair, and others assisting him. They
succeeded in extinguishing the llaines without
damage. A half dozen young ladies, however,
were badly frightened.
Happy Hearts.
This afternoon tho First Baptist church,
corner of Husk and Fannin streets, was tilled
with friends of tho contracting parties to wit-
ness tho marriage of Miss Kate Quinby,
daughter of Dr. Lloyd Quinby, to Mr. '. 11.
Rothwell, foreman of the Southern 1 ucific
shops and one of tho highly esteemed young
men of tho city. Rev. Mr. Bailey, pastor of
tho church, performed tho solemn ceremony
that united for life two loving hearts.
The fair bride was raised in this city, and
for years has been an ornament to a circle of
friends wb6 will regret to lose her as one of
their number.
Tho ushers were Max Stubenrauch, R. E.
George, E. C. Smith and P. J. Everslade, all
well known in Houston social circles.
After tho ceremony tho young couple were
congratulated, following which tho bridal
party took carriages, drove to tho Grand Cen-
tral depot, whore they boarded tho Southern
Pacific train for Now Orleans to spend tho
blissful days of the honeymoon.
They have the very best wishes of a largo
circle of friends.

Jamos O'Neill in Monte Cristo,
This evening James 0\Neill and a strong
supporting company appeared at Sweeney &
Coombs' opera houso boforo a large and ap-
preciative audience. Mr. O'Neill has a host
of admirers here, and despite the inclement
weather and counter attractions they nearly
filled tho largo auditorium. It goes without
saying that Mr. O'Neill portrayed tho
character of tho wonderful count
as only a master can do. His support was
even better than when ho was hero beforo.
The costumes were richer and fully in keeping
with the fabulous wealth that attaches to tho
play throughout. The special scenery carried
by the company is ahead of any it has ever
used, and as this is a very important factor in
the success of tho whole it in a measure ac-
counts for tho triumph of this evening.
The engagement was for tho company to
open with a matinee this afternoon, but on
account of the derailment of the tram coming
from Galveston they did not get hero in time,
and will give tho matinee to-morrow, closing
with an evening perforinanco.
Mendelssohn Quintette Club.
The Mendelssohn quintette club of Boston
appeared this evening at Turner hall, under
the auspices of the Turn voroin. Tho audience
was largo and critical, and thoroughly appro-
cirted tho rich treat that they had an opportu-
nity to enjoy. The company is composed of
the following famous artists: Mr. Paul Stoev-
ing, violin virtuoso and concert master; Mr.
Max Adler, violin; Mr. Thomas Ryan, solo
clarionotto and viola; Mr. Paul Henneberg,
solo flute and viola; Mr. Herman Diestol, solo
violoncello: Miss Marie Barnard, prima donna.
This tour is the forty-second of the quintette
club, which of itself assures the high profes-
sional standing of an artist who is a member
of it. After tho execution of each number the
performer was encored again and again, sev-
eral of them as many as four times.
Entertaining tho West End Club.
This evening tho members of tho West end
euchre club were entertained in the beautiful
club rooms of tho Elks by Messrs. J. L. Wat-
son and R. S. Cathcart, two of tho members.
It was done in elegant style, and was quite an
event in the history of the club. The rooms
were prettily decorated and the refreshments
were served on small tables. Tho menu em-
braced the choicest dishes to be had, und tho
6upper was a highly enjoyable feature of tho
evening. The ladies were in their most
charming mood, and the responsibilities rest-
ing upon Messrs. Watson and Cathcarc were
borne gracefully and with admirable ease.
Big Excursion to Como.
Last night during the flying visit here of
Mr. C. F. Drake, secretary of tho State lum-
bermen's association of Texas, your corre-
spondent learned from him that a party had
been made up of wealthy lumbermen, includ-
ing manufacturers, from various portions of
the state of Indiana, to come through hero
about the middle of March on a tour of ob-
servation. There will bo perhaps 20U in the
party. They expect to spend a couple of days
hero and a day at Galveston, Austin and San
Antonio. Tho party will represent large
wealth and larger energy and enterprise.
Annual Masquerade Hall.
The mombers of tho Turn veroin decided at
their last meeting to give their annual mas-
querade ball February 11. Tho invitations
are now in the hands of tho printer and will
bo very handsome specimens of typographical
beauty. Extensive preparations aro being
made to produce one of the grandest successes
in the history of the Turn verein.
Married This Afternoon.
This afternoon at the hour of 5 o'clock Miss
Mamie Do Wall was united in marriago to Mr.
fi[olmes Duke, both of this city. Tho cere-
Children CnforPilclier's Castoria
mony took place at the home of the bride, but
it being a quiet affair there were only a few
friends present to extend their best wishes.
The fair bride was a picture of feminine
loveliness, and tho handsome groom a line
specimen of young manhood.
Called to His Sick Brother.
Last night Mr. Clarence Guerringer, chief
clcrk at tho Capitol hotel, received a telegram
from San Antonio stating that his brother
Fred was very low, and asking him to como
immediately. When tho message was received
it was too late for him to get tho train going
west, but he left on tho early train this morn-
ing. His brother was here a few weeks ago in
feeble health, and to benefit it he left for tho
west, but likely found no improvement. The
family hero have the sympathy of a largo
circle of friends, whoso earnest wishes are for
the speedy recovery of the young man.
A Lady Badly Burned.
Late last cvoning, at her home in tho Fifth
ward, Miss Zoo Thomas was badly burned.
While she was attending to domestic duties
her dress caught from the firo in the fireplace
and before it could be extinguished she was
badly burned. Her mother, who bravely
went to the roscue and saved her, was painful-
ly burned in the effort. Both aro well known
in that part of the city.

Floresvii.le, Tex., Jan. 19.—Snow fell here
most all night, and this morning tho ground
was covered with snow to the depth of an inch
or more.
The thermometer registered about 24 on ex-
posed galleries.
By 8 o'clock a. m. the sun was shining
bright and the snow began to melt away, but
this process is slow and it is still very cold for
this section. A sharp north wind continues to
blow, and it i3 thought it will be even colder
to-night than last night.
School keeps to-day, and the children have a
grand time snow-balling. The grown people,
or a great many of them, have had similar
sport most of the day.
Snow-balling in Florosvillo presents rather
an odd spectacle to many who have been
hero but a few yoars, as this is tho coldest
winter since 1888. Last winter and the winter
before we barely had ice.
We can hear nothing from the stock ranches,
but the general impression is that the losses
will be very large.
The cold is considered a good indication for
the farmers. It is argued that good crops
always follow such a winter as this.
Kenney ville.
Kenseynille, Tex., Jan. 19.—Monday
morning a strong wind commenced to blow
from the north and beforo 3 o'clock it was
cold enough to freeze milk. This morning
the sleet and snow aro about two inches deep,
the heaviest since 1872, and the ice in many
placcs hero has not incited since'the 11th
of this month. Mr. Foster's predictions as to
cold weather certainly are proving truo in this
section of the country and if such cold wenther
continues much longer there will be consider-
able loss of stock and much suffering among
the poor people who aro not prepared for
such weather.
It has partially cleared off and the sun
shines occasionally, which makes things look
very bright and beautiful temporarily, but Oh,
tho mud and slush that will follow; tho roads
will be impassable.
Beaumont.
Beaumont, Tex.. Jan. 20.—Quite a heavy
sloet or snow fell Monday evening, the first
since 1880, and some fears aro now entertained
that a great many fruit trees, especially
oranges, will bo killed. Some though claim
that as the sap has not risen there is no fear of
thein being damaged.
The public schools were all closed to-day on
account of the extreme cold weather, but will
be resumed as soon as tho weather will permit
of the children going without being too much
exposed to the influences that result in the
grip.
The mills aro all closed down on account of
frozen pipes and scarcity of tho men owing
to tho disagreeableness of the weather.
What Stock men Say.
Del Rio, Tex., Jan. 19.—Yesterday and
last night was the coldest weather experienced
hero in a number of years. The wind blew
hard from the northwost all day, and about
night it began to sleet, but this did not last
but an hour or two. This morning the ground
was covered with ice, but tho sun came out
about 10 o'clock and by evening all the ice
had disappeared, and it has moderatod con-
siderably.
Only one stockman has been seen. Ho says
tho cold did not hurt his cattle much. No
sheepmen have como in yet.
Several people had their water pipes frozen,
but very little damage has been done as far as
can be learned.
Victoria.
Victoria, Tex., Jan. 20.—Tho mercury yes-
terday and this morning reached the lowest
point attained here in several years, standing
20 degrees above zero at 9 o'clock each morn-
ing. Everything was covered with sleet and
ice all day yesterday and the novel pastime of
snowballing was indulged in by men and boys
on the streets.
Many fine orange and lemon trees that had
this season borne the first fruit of that char-
acter grown here in several years will doubt-
less succumb to tho frost king.
To-day the weather is moderating consid-
erably but it is still very cold.
Caldwell.
Caldwell, Tex., Jan. 28.—The weather to-
day is intensely cold. The sun is shining
brightly, but seems to affect but little tho
snow which covers the ground. Improvised
sleighs are running, and tho boys and clerks
are out snow-balling. Tho snow is too dry to
mako into balls. Tho thermometer was down
to 8 or 10 degrees last night.
Tea nh a.
Tenaha, Tex., Jan. 19.—The creeks and by-
ous wore flooded with water yesterday which
fell during the day and tho night before. The
rain began to freeze about 4 p. m, yesterday,
and during last night about two inches of
snow fell. A very cold breeze is blowing from
tho north this morning. Tho thermometer
stands 18 degrees above zero.
Columbus.
Columbus, Tex., Jan. 19.— Last night and
to-day have been the coldest for many years,
the thermometer having gono down to 19 de-
grees. The streets to-day aro covered with
snow an inch doep. Tho blizzard will no
doubt kill thousands of cattle, as the long
drouth that was experienced here last summer
left them in a bad fix.
Shiner.
Shiner, Tex., Jan. 19.—Yesterday at 10 a.
m. the wind veered to the north, and it com-
menced raining, but the rain turned into ice
before touching the ground. Snow fell last
night, and the ground is frozen and covered
about two inches with snow. This morning
the sun is shining brightly, but the north wind
is still blowing hard.
Kyle.
Kyle, Tex., Jan. 19.—It began sleeting and
blowing here yesterday and continued during
the entire night. This morning the ground
is white with snow, being about two inches
thick. This is the coldest weather in this sec-
tion of country since the winter of 1887. Stock-
men are uneasy regarding their stock, and it
is feared that the loss will be very heavy.
Village Mills.
Village Mills, Tex., Jan. 19.—Cold rains
have been falling for tho past few days. Last
night it began to sleet and to-day tho ground
is frozen, with two inches of ice. This is the
coldest time in this section for sii yoars.
Cattle are very poor and the grass is gone.
A great loss in cattle will be the result.

Berclair, Tex., Jan. 20.—Last night and
to-day has beon tho coldest of the season, tho
mercury dropping to 23 at midnight. The
ground is covered with snow.

nearly a week, we had ice and frost but no
rain, sleet or snow. With this wo have had a
slight rain and almost one inch of sleet.
Warren.
Warren, Tex., Jan. 19.—The norther pre-
dicted in Tub Nhws came in on time, bring-
ing with it rain, snow, sleet, ice and the cold-
est weather ever known to the oldest inhabi-
tants. It is too cold to-day for anything ex-
cept to sit by the fire and burn pine knots.
Georgetown.
Georgetown, Tex., Jan. 19.—Snow one inch
deep fell here last night, and notwitlistanding

ALBERT VICTOR'S FUNERAL
IMPRESSIVE SERVICES AT SAINT
GEORGE'S OHAPEL.
The Booming of Minute Guns and tho Roll
of Drains—The Chapel Brilliantly Il-
luminated—A Mother's Grief.
London, Jan. 20—The body of tho duko of
Clarence and Avondalo was removed from
the parish church at Sandringhain to-day. At
9.1-50 o'clock a detachment of artillery with
craped gun carriages drew up at the church
gate, at 10.15 the bell of the church began
tolling and tho prineo of Wales and household
entered tho church and tho funeral services
commenced.
At the conclusion the cofiin was lifted upou
the shoulders of a number of royal employes
and borne from the church and placed upon
the gun carriage, and the procession was
formed.
The route from the church to Wolferton, a
station of the Great Eastern railway, was lined
with spectators who, as the procession passed,
joined in the rear. The railway carriage, in
which the body was convoyed from Wolferton
to Windsor, was lined with purple velvet. Tho
duke of Edinburgh, duke of Couuaught,
Prince Christian, duke of Teek and many
foreign representatives assembled at Windsor
station, and wero in waiting when the royal
tram arrived.
At 3.80 the train bearing the remains en-
tered Windsor station. The coflin was taken
on the shoulders of men from the Tenth hus-
sars. It was wrapped in a silken union jack,
und on it was a single, splendid wreath, which
had been sent l<y the queon.
Immediately the boom of minute guns was
hoard, and at tho same time the roll of drums
from the massed bands swelled out and the
procession began to move. The cortege passed
into the castle and at 4 o'clock the funeral
ceremonies wero proceeded with in St. George's
chapel.
The choir sang the burial service as the pro-
cession moved up the nave of the chapel. On
the arrival of the body at the choir the prince
of Wales, as chief mourner, stood at the hoad
of the cortin. Prince George of Wales stood
on one side of the coffin and the duke of Fife
on the other, othor royal personages standing
near them. A psalm was chanted by tho choir
and the dean read the lesson, the choir then
singing hymns selected by the queen, and the
bishop of Rochester read the concluding
prayer.
The ceremony concluded by the singing of
Sullivan's anthem, "A Brother Gone Beforo
Us." Then, in obedience to tho ancient cus-
tom, Sir Albert Woods, garter king of arms,
in full insignia and habit of his rank, stepped
forward and proclaimed the full list of titles
of the duke.
Tho prince of Wales, followed by the othor
royal personages, then proceeded by private
way from tho chapel to tho castle.
The princess of Wales could be seen look-
ing mournfully from the queen's gallery upon
the colfin of her beloved son. For some time
after the services wero concluded no daylight
was allowed to enter the chapel, which was
illuminated entirely by light from number-
less wax tapers. The entire service was
marked by a solemn impressivenoBB that
made itself deeply felt by everyone in attend-
ance.
To-night tho remains of tho duko will be
quietly removed to Memorial chapel, where
they will lind a tinal resting place.
The queen, accompanied by Princess Louise,
marchioness of Lorne, to-day attended a spe-
cial memorial service in the chapel of Os-
bome house, conducted by Canon Duck-
worth.
