The atorm la almost unprecedent ed for eeverity at this season of the year and takes rank, .according to the weath er bureau, with tho snowfall on April 22 and 23, 1885. Up to 0 o'clock this ovoning about 20 inches of anow had fallen in Denver and indications were that the enow would continue all night. Locally but little damage waa done. Sheer-men in Wyoming, Colorado and New Moxico, it is believed, will Buffer heavy loaaea, aa they were unprepared lor euch weather. There are hundreds of tens of sugar beeta and thousands of barrels of apples atill in the open in tho northern part of Colorado and should tho cold continue, the damage will be very great to the ranchers.

With the proBpect of more than $2, 500,000 coming in from thia year's taxea, State Treasurer Kempf threw up hia hands in despair and eaid thero waa no way to apond it. Accordingly Gov ernor Davidson, Secretary of State Houeer and Mr. Kempf mot today and decided to remit the taxea. The railroqda are footing tho bills. That, in the main, is the reason for the action today, tho first time Buch a sweeping move haa been mado in the history of tho atate.

Under tho new ad valorem law the roada pay about $2,000,000 annu ally, or one-third moro than they did undor1 tno old license fee ay atom. The amount of taxea remitted ia $1,- 818,239. Inatead of raising this amount from tho taxpayers, the admin istration will deduct it Iran tho gene ral fund of tho state to meet cerain fixed exponditurea.

Dating the full period of the storm traina have arrived Irregularly or not at all. For much of the time the street car aervico haa been at a standstill, and the electric lighting plants aro out of commission. Tho burning of the Utah packing plant, north of the city, is the moat aerioua single loaa. Tho building had just been compleetd at a coat of $100, 000, and was to have beeta put into uao in a few daya. The project waa inaug urated by Weatern cattlemen and was in opposition to tho largo packing houses in tho Eaat. The cauBe of the firo haa not been ascertained. Only a small fraction of the loaa is covered by insurance. Ruined buildinga, fallen chimneys, broken windows, loosaned signs and toppled trees throughout this and ad joining towns are the most common souvenirs of tho atorm and aggregate an immenae loaa. The wind attained a maximum velocity fo 62 miles an hour. For hours at maintained an average speed of 38 milea an hour. Tho local weather bureau has been handicapped, but expresses the opinion that the storm is local and with little effect north of Ogden or south of Provo. LOSS WAS HEAVY.

Quaint and Curious. m d Martin Lather' Tankard. This Interesting relic of the great Re former la of Ivory, very richly carved, and mounted In silver gilt There are six medallions on Its surface, which consist, however, of a repetition of two subjects. The upper one represents tho agony in the garden, nnd the Savior pray ing that the cup might pass from Him ; the base repre sents the Lord's Supper, the center dish being the Incar nation of tho bread. On the lid. In old characters, Is the following Inscription : "C. M. L., MDXXIIII." This drinking vessel, which, Independent of Its ar tistic merit, was no doubt highly valued ns a mero household possession, brings to mind many recollections of the life of him who raised himself from a very lowly position to ono of great power and usefulness. Martin Luther, who was tho son of John Lotter or Lauther (which name our Reformer afterwards changed to Luther) and Mnrgaret Lindenen, was born In the little town of Islcbern, In Saxony, on November 10th, 14S3. His father was a miner. Luther died in 1540, nnd princes, carls, nobles, and students without number, attended the funeral of the miner's son In the church of Islebern. On this occajn, Mnlauc thon delivered the funeral oration. Tomb of Caecllla Mctclla. Of the tombs of Consular Rome noth ing remains except perhaps the sarco phngus of Sclplo ; and It is only on the eve of the Empire that wo meet with tho well-known ono of Crecilln Mctelln, the wife of Crnssus, which Is not only tho best specimen of a Roman tomb tiow remaining to us, but the oldest building, of tho Imperial cty of which we have au authentic date. It con sists of a bold square basement about TOMB OK CAECILIA METEIXA. 100 feet square, which was originally ornamented In some manner not now Intelligible. From this roso a circular tower about 04 feet In diameter, of very bold masonry, surmounted by a brace of ox-skulls with wreaths Joining them, and a woll-profiled cornice; two or threo courses of masonry nbovo this seem to hn,vo belonged to tho original work; and nbovo tha, almost certain ly, In tho original design roso a conical roof, which has perished. Tho tower having been used as a fortress in tho middle nges, battlements havo been added to supply tho place of tho roof, and it has been othorwlse disfigured, so as to detract much from Its beauty as now soen. Still we have no tomb of tho samo lmportanco so perfect,, nor ono which' enables us to connect the Roman tombs so nearly with tho" Etrus can. Tho only addltlou In this Instanco Is that of the Bquaro basement or podium, though oven this was not-unknown nt a much earlier period, ns for Instanco In tho tomb of Aruns, Tho exaggerated height of tho circular base Is also remarkable. Here It rise to be a tower Instead of a mere circular base of stones for tho earthen cone of the original sepulchre. The stone roof which probably surmounted the tower was a mere reproduction of the orig inal earthen cone. A POCAHONTAS MEMORIAL. Sfonament to TJe Erected Soon to Flrnt Great American "Woman. The first great American woman la soon to have a handsome monument erected in her honor. Pocahontas, daughter of the mighty Indian chief tain, Powhattan, she who saved tho life of John Smith, surely deserves tho title of first of the neve world's women to achieve for the good of humanity and to take a place In history as tho earliest example of the aborigine who mastered the ways ot civilization. Tho story of early Virginia is one of tho world's classics. Artists have pictured that dramatic scene when the 12-year- FOCAUO.NTAS. old daughter of Powhattan placed her own boely between that of Smith and the war club that huLg over him ready to deal tho death blow. That was only a littlo short of 300 years ngo, and Po cahontas, who did much for the set tlers of the new world, has wuited long for her memorial of stone, but Justice will finally be done her In a superb art work. The Pocahontas Memorial Associa tion, of Washington, has the movement in charge, and the distinguished Amer ican sculptor, William Ordway Part ridge who has to his credit a number of superb pieces, has been selected to make the monument Most of tho women who are promi nent in the movement nro descendants of Pocahontas, for the Indian priucesa became the ancestor of some of the best families In the South. But Poca hontas' descendants are not confined to Virginia. Pennsylvania has ono In tho person of Mlsa Harriette de Beune ville Kelm, of Rending.
