AHEAYY FALLOF SNOW Large Section Of the Country Wrap- ped In a Fleecy Mantle. New YORK’S RROORD BROKEN Llrgelt run In Many Years In the Mots-Op- ens—Vessels Reported In Trouble. ‘ Few Casualties and Slight In- I terruption to. Travel. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—The storm is cen- tral today over the northeast coast. Snow has fallen over all the middle Atlantic states, the Ohio valley and lake regions. At 1 0 ’clock it was still snowing ball over 1 the country north of Washington and west of the lower lake regions. It is the heaviest snowstorm of the win- ter, and more snow had fallen in this cit than in any other place in the country. The storm is moving northeasterly and is steadily increasing in violence. It is colder this morning all over the southern states, and at Jacksonville, Fla, it is 10 degrees below the freezing point. At Charleston it is 18 below freezing point, at Montgomery, Ala., 14 below freezing and at Atlanta 6 above zero. This means the ruin of fruit crops in southern states. It was only 2 above zero at Louisville, and there is zero weather in Kentucky. The thermometer at 8 a. 111. today in New York city was 22. The incoming Chicago mails were two hours late this morning, and local outgo- ing mails were sent out from 15 to 20 min- utes ahead of time in order to catch trains. There was but little wind all through the night, and the flakes seemed to fall lazily. As a result, the snow lay at an even depth all over the city. The thermometer had not dropped to such a degree as to make the cold uncom- fortable, and the absence of blustering wind and swirling waves of snow robbed the storm of all semblance to a blizzard. Although, as has been said, the storm was not felt so much because of the ab- .sence of high winds, it is, according to Local Forecaster Dunn, a record breaker for some years in depth of snowfall. Mr. Dunn, in giving his official report of the storm this morning, said, “The ten ‘inch snow fall in 13 hours is the heaviest we have had this year—in fact, the heav- iest forfiome years. ” A. Big Vessel In Distress? WESTHAMPTON, N. Y., Jan. 29.—Winter residents of the Hamptons were aroused tbda by the'hoarse whistling of a vessel off t e outer beach, to the eastward of this place. Most of them went down to the shore, but could not see anything of any distressed steamer. The sharp blasts con tinued; but, owing to the dense snowstorm, it was impossible to see the outer beach. Several attempts have been made to com- municate with the outer stretch of sand, .but all have thus far been unsuccessful. As daylight came on it was hoped that there would be some abatement in the strength of the storm, but this hope has been shattered, for with the coming of day the wind seemed to increase in violence, and there was no interruption in the fall of the snow. Old residents feared from the strength of the whistles that the vessel from which they emanated was one of the big ocean liners which is either grounded in the sand or so close to the breakers that she dare not move. A heavy wind is blow- ing, and the sea is very high, so that if the whistling vessel is ashore she is in :1 dan- gerous position. Traflic Interrupted In Boston. BOSTON, Jan. 29.——This section of New England is locked in the arms of the old time snowstorm, and a high northeasterly wind which accompanies the disturbance gives it blizzardlike proportions. The snow began to fall early last evening, and the storm increased in violence steadily during the night until today many inches of, snow had fallen and the wind was blow- ing at the rate of 30 miles an hour. The street car system in and about the city was badly handicapped, and practically none of the street cars was running on time. Heavy Snowfall In Jersey. TBENTON, Jan. 29.-—Over a foot of snow has fallen since the storm began yesterday afternoon. Reports from difierent parts of the state are to the effect that all sorts of travel have been interfered with, and in many places the trolley lines have stopped running. The roads in the out of the way places are impassable. Thus far no serious inconvenience has been felt by the big rail- roads in the state. The local trains are nearly all running on schedule time, and whatever delay has occurred has been to the through trains. The South Gets It Too. WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—The snowstorm which began yesterday continued till after midnight. Today there is five inches on the level, by far the heaviest fall of the sea.- son. The thermometer has risen to 10 de- grees above zero. The snow is very dry and light, and, whilerailroad trains are somewhat delayed, street car trafl‘ic is un— interrupted, and the telegraphic service is in good condition. The weather bureau reports snow. as far south as North Caro- lina, with a maximum of eight' inches in New York. Steamer Scuttled by Ice. EVANSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 29.——The small steamer Plankinshaw was scuttled by ice and sunk in the Ohio river, near this city. Engineer John Orr of Evansville was drowned. The others on board, 17 in num- ber, escaped to a barge in tow, but sufi‘er- ed considerably from the cold weather, and several were badly frozen. A Steamer Stranded. WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—A telegram re- ceived at the life saving bureau states that the British steamship Ardrishaig of Lon- don, from Hamburg to Savannah, strand- edon Frying Pan shoals, near Southport, N.

H., Jan. 29. —The storm which began last evening has assumed blizzard proportions. The wind is blow- ing a gale, and the snow is drifting badly. Ice In the Ohio.

ALK- GAZB. I ALLEGED MURDERER CAUGHT. He Registered In, a St. Louis Hotel Under the Name of Paul Jones. NEW YORK, Jan. 29. —A dispatch from St. Louis today says that Police Captain 0’ Malloy and Detective Gocking were try- ing to obtain a confession from the man arrested in that city who admitted that he was Arthur Palmer. for whom the author- ities of Mamaroneck have been looking on a charge that he killed his mother and brother and seriously wounded his sister two weeks ago. Palmer declares that he left his home in Mamaroneck the day be- fore the tragedy. Why he went away or what took him to St. Louis he fails to ex- plain. He was registered in the hotel as Paul Jones, and while he was there he re- mained in his mom almost constantly, rarely speaking to any one in the hotel. The tragedy which Palmer 911s ac— cused of having committed was one of the most sensational in the history of West- chester county. His mother just before she died told the story. For some time Palmer had been acting queer, although no one ever suspected that he was insane. He worked on the farm. His brother was a. schoolteacher in this city. Palmer married two years ago, and soon after the wedding his wife left him and went to live in Canada. Since that time, it is thought, he has been crazy. It was 5 o’clock in the afternoon on the day of the tragedy when Arthur Palmer appeared in the dining room of his home. The mother and sister were at dinner. Without saying a word he drew a revolver from his pocket and shot his mother and sister as they sat at the table. Just then his brother appeared, and Arthur shot him dead. Then he disappeared and was traced to this city. From here Palmer was traced to St. Louis, and the sheriff of Westchester county telephoned to the police of that city to ur- rest him. Thurston on Free Silver. LINCOLN, ' Neh, J an. 29. —The senate has adopted by a party vote a joint resolu- tion directing John M. Thurston to vote for any measure favoring free and unlimit- ed coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. Senator Ranson read a letter from Senator John M. Thurston in which he says, “On the matter of the ratio for the coinage of the American product of silver, I should prefer the ratio of 16 to 1; failing in this, the best ratio that could secure the neces- sary votes to enact a law. ” Preparing For Endeavorers.
