THE nvnninoonznrrn

HAVOG OF THE STORM

Railroads Blocked, Ships Ashore,
Life and Property Destroyed.

ATLANTIC COAST SUFFERS

 

The Storm of Saturday Beats the Record
for November and Almost Equals the
Great Blizzard of 1888. It Was Central
Over ._New York. Boston Suffers Serious-
Iy.

New York, Nov. 29,—The stbrm which
has just ended its career in this vi-
cinity beat“ anything on record for
the month of November in New York,
so the local weather bureau reports.
The bureau’s advices, received from
all over the country, show that this
city was the southern center of the

, storm.

Unofiicial reports still coming in and
the experience of New Yorkers bear
witness to the storm’s power, and a
heavy aftermath to damage to proper—
ty and obstruction to traffic is still
being gathered.

' Steam and electric railroads, tele-
graph and telephone companies have
men at work repairing the damage
caused by the ravages of the storm.
The street cleaning department is
making tremendous efforts to remove
the snow, but it is not likely that nor-

mal conditions will be restored before .

to-day.

There was no general railroad block—
ade. Local trains and trains through
from the West were still from fifteen
minutes to half an hour late yesterday
morning.

But the whole 011 Long sland is a
snow drift, and trains are not yet run-
ning on anything like schedule time.
The Long Island trolleys simply prov-
ed snares, and passengers on them
were compelled to walk long distances
in the snow. \

The New Jersey surface railroads
were affected similarly, though not to
the same extent.

The telegraph wires are down all
over Long Island and the New England
wires are crippled.

No wires are working east of Boston
and the Western Union wire to Sandy
Hook is disabled.

The railway mail service of this dis-
trict has been seriously hampered by
the storm, and incoming mails arrived
at the general postofiice from two to
24 hours late.

Local Forecaster Emery says: “The
storm has been attended by heavy
snows in the Middle Atlantic and New
England states, and dangerous on-
shore winds shifting to the northwest.
The highest velocity was reported in
New York: Boston reported 60 miles,
Eastport 56, Block Island 60, and San—
dy Hook 60.

“Barring Portland, New York is also
credited with the heaviest snow fall,
9.7 inches, equal to .97 inches of rain.
The fall in Philadelphia was nine inch-
es and in Boston 8 1-2 inches. The
fact that only a little over an inch fell
in Albany shows easily that the storm
was not at its fiercest inland.”

 

New Haven, Conn., Nov. 29.—Thc
state of Connecticut is digging itself
out of the worst snow storm that has
visited it since the often recalled blis-
zard of 1888.

Railroads are blocked, trolley lines
are buried in big snow drifts and the
various departments in the cities are
trying as best they can to clear the
streets.

One of the greatest difficulties that
are confronting the city departments
and the street railways is the dearth
of men to shovel snow.

 

Boston, Mass, Nov. 29.———The New
England coast, so far as could be
reached by wire yesterday afternoon.
is strewn with wrecks, and it is probaé
ble that more than a score of lives
have been lost.

There are thirty vessels ashore" on
the islands in and about Boston har-
bor. - ‘

It is estimated that it will cost the
city of Boston $100,000 and the Boston
Elevated Railroad Company nearly as
much to clear the Streets and tracks
of snow.

So far as damage to property in the
city~ goes, it was not very extensive,
although the loss of four great elms
uprooted on the common in front of the
state house will mar the beauty of
that spot. ' '

Tarrytown, Nov. 29,—All river men
are unanimous in saying that the
storm that struck this section on Sat-
urday night is the worst since the bliz-
zard of 1888.

The river front is strewn with wreck”
age, and many canal boats, barges and
schooners are ashore. ‘

 

Twenty-five Wrecks.

New York, Nov. 29.—Tardy reports
from Long Island coast towns indicate,
better than anything else, the severity
of the storm. It is feared that many
lives have been lost.

Giant waves swept into the bays near
Northport, where vessels had taken
refuge, and slammed the unfortunate
craft ashore, where they lie, some of
them wrecked beyond repair and others
dismantled and battered.

Not a vessel remained afloat in the
harbor of Northport, and twenty-five
wrecks line the beach near that place.
It is thought that two score wrecks
will be found on the Long Island
shore.

To complete the scene of desolation
all the wharves, pavilions and boat
houses are twisted into grotesque and
curious shapes, their huge timbers be-
ing sent high on the beach, some stuck
on end, firmly imbedded in the sand.
Iron rods, which clamped the frame-
work, Were twisted and broken short
off.

At Northport the “oldest inhabitant” '

has to think for some time to remem-
ber when such a scene as Saturday’s
storm has been witnessed before in that
vicinity.

He will, however, say at once, that
the famous blizzard of 1888 could not
compare with this in the frightful ve-
loctty of the wind, although more snow "
fell.

To compare tides he will take one
back to 1851, that being the record high
tide year in the memory of the oldest
fisherman along the shore.

 

GRAND OPERA FOR NEW YORK.

 

rhe Season Will open To-night at the
Bletrnpolitan Opera. House.

New York Nov. 29.—The greatest sea-
son of opera this country has ever
known will begin at the Metropolitan
Opera House to-night, when “Tann-
hauser” will be given a. production
such as has seldom been witnessed
here” or abroad. Society will look its
best in the tiers upon tiers of boxes,
and all the famous families of the
East will be represented. The new
tenor who will appear for the first
time in America to-night is Ernest
Van Dyck. The regular patrons of
Bayreuth knew him for ten years. Be-
fore then some of them heard him in
Paris, in Berlin and at Vienna, where
he kept up 'the brilliancy of the W'ag-
nerian performances.

 

MME. SOHUMAN—HEINK AS ORTRUD.
Mr. Grau's company at the Metropol—

itan Opera House contains no less
than four American singers, Emma.
Eames, Zelie De Lussan, Suzanne Ad-
ams and Fanchon Thompson. Miss
Adams comes to us from Paris and
London, but her home is in Cambridge.
Mass. Thence she was sent to study
singing in Paris with Jacq’uer Bouhy,
sometime teacher in New Yor" Miss
Adams effected her debut at th Grand
Opera. in 1884 as Juliette in Q. nod’s
opera. She remained a mem-bc- n: the
institution three years, singing such
roles as Gilda and Marguerite. After
a brief experience in Nice she joined
Mr. Grau’s forces in London and won
high praise for her work.

Albert Saleza, another of Mr. Grau’s
tenors, was born at Bruges, in 1867. He
studied at the Paris Conservatoire, and
in 1888 won the first prize for singing
and the second for opera. Shortly af-
terward he affected his debut at the
Opera Comique in Lalo’s “Le Roi d’Ys.”
He remained connected with the Opera
Comique for four years, when he was
engaged at the Grand Opera, taking
part in performances of “Salammbo,”
“Djelma,” “Otello,” and ”Romeo et Ju-
liette."

ANDREAS DIPPEL AS LOHENGRIN,

Andreas Dippel, (the tenor, is not a
stranger here, having been the com-
panion of Herr Gudehus at the Metro‘
politan Opera House in the last Ger-
man season, 1890-91.

Then there is Madame Schumann—
Heink. She is between thirty—seven
and thirty-eight years old, having been
born on July 15, 1861, at Lieben, near
Prague. where her father, a major in
the Austrian army, was stationed at
the time. Her maiden name was Ernes—
tine Rossler. Mme. Schumann—Heink’s
versatility is illustrated. by the fact
that the parts in which she has won
her best: successes are VVagner’s Erda,
IV'altraute and Ortrud, Bizet’s Carmen,
Gluck’s Opphcus, the witch in Humper-
dinck’s “Hans-tel and Gretel” and Prince
Orlofslzy in Strauss’s “Fledermaus.”

Th e Canal Scandals.

Albany, N. Y., Nov. 29.—Governor
Black has as yet given no intimation
of how soon he proposes to announce
his action upon the report of the canal
investigation commission.

There have been no developments at
this place so far to substantiate the
stories current in New York city polit-
ical circles that Judge Countryman’s
report is of such a nature that the
governor has decided to suspend Su-
perintendent of Public Works George
VV._ Aldridge.

In fact, no one outside of the execu-
tive chamber knows whether Judge
Countryman’s report has been sub-
mitted to the governor as yet.

Neither the governor nor the judge
will discuss the matter in any way
whatever. ~

Caravan Attacked.

London, Nov. 29.——A dispatch from
Tripoli says that a caravan from the
Soudan has been attacked by a band
of tribesmen near Ghal, an oasis in
the Sahara to the south of Tripoli and
on the border of Gezzan.

Twenty persons belonging to the car-
avan were killed and eighty camel
loads of feathers and 380 loads of Sou-
dan skins were lost.

Three Men Perished. '

Salem, Mass" Nov. 29.—Two members
of the crew of the schooner Bertha A.
Goss, from Deer Isle, Me., were res-
cued from House island, off Manchester
yesterday, nearly dead, having been
without shelter or food for thirty hours.
,The lechooner was lost- on the rocks
near Fresh island, Saturday.

Captain Wallace Thurston. his fath-
er ,aged about seventy years, and his
son, John R.. perished.

 

QUAY’S our IN COURT

His Counsel Demurs to .Four of
the Indictments.

MOVES TO QUASH THE FIFTH

Court Listens to the Arguments and the

Reply of the District .Attorney, and

Then Takes Papers Under Advisement.
Failure to Charge Any Unlawful Act
Says Attorney.

Philadelphia, N'ov. 29.—-The case of
Senator Quay and others, charged with
conspiracy in the misuse of the money
of the state on deposit in the People’s
Bank, came up yesterday in the court
of quarter Sessions, Judge Finletter
presiding. '

The defendants, who are Senator M.
S. Quay, his son, Richard R. Quay.
and Benjamin J. Haywood, ex-state
treasurer, were not in court, their in-
terests being looked after by Attor-
neys Rufus E. Shapley and A. S. L.
Shields. '

Immediately upon the opening of
the court Attorney Shapley filed de-
murrers to four of the five indictments
found against the defendants by the

. gray-d jury, and filed a motion to quash

:11» With indictment.

Argument cnehese demurrcrs
yaw". «sided with by Mr. Shapley. In 3.
,, . 'a‘. way the objections to the in-
. ' . ”Its were based on contentions of
is Hal‘i‘udent specifications, complete
future to charge any unlawful act and
or. absence of allegation that the de-
fendants unlawfully obtained any mon-
ey either from the bank or from any
other source.

If the defendants did, as the indict-

\V 393

 
 

ments charge, purchase stocks and
bonds through Cashier Hopkins as
agent, Mr. Shapley claimed that no

unlawful act had been committed. He
claimed that the banks every day act
as purchasers for their depositors or
customers.

Regarding the allegations respecting
the use of state moneys, he argued
that all moneys deposited in a. bank
go in the general fund of the bank,
and that therefore the indictments are
defective in charging misuse of state
funds obtained from the People’s Bank
whereupon, if any money was obtain-
ed from the bank it was funds of the
People’s Bank and not state funds.
Furthermore, these state funds were
deposited in the bank by various state
treasurers in full authority of law.

On conclusion of the arguments and
the reply of listrict Attorney Graham
the court took the papers under afl-
visement.

PRINTING GOVERNMENT STAMPS

 

Interesting Figures from the Report of
Director Johnson.

Washington, D. 0., Nov. 29.——Claude

. Johnson, director of the bureau of
engraving andprinting, in his annual
report. says that during the year there
were 92,979,47 sheets of stamps and
government securities printed and de—
livered at a. cost of $1,570,598.

This sum, however, includes $12,590
increase of stock, $30,000 paid for ma-
chinery and $6,416 paid to outside em-
ployes.

Deductlng these extra amounts the
cost per one thousand sheets this year
was forty-'seveh cents less than last,
making a. total saving of $43,700.

The average number of sheets han-
dled by each cmploye was 57,290, which
is the best record ever made by the
bureau and an increase of 56 per cent.
over the year 1893.

A remarkable record was made by
the bureau in supplying adhesive
stamps to thn internal revenue bureau.
In seventeen days after the passage
of the act the bureau had delivered
185890926 latte rfips.

his woi‘k was done in addition to
and in connection with the new bond

issue, and in addition to supplying in—'

cfé’ased demands for United States
notes, silver certificates and treasury
'n'otés, as well as the issue of a new
series of postage stamps for the Omaha
Trails-Mississippi exposition.

3 The director recommends that the
appropriation for printing postage
stamps be made direct to the bureau,
and so settle the point that the gov-
ernment and not private establish—
ments shall do this work.

 

Breakdown on the Bufialo.

\Vashington, D. 0., Nov. 29.—.The
navy department has made public the
report of the court of inquiry of,
which Commander John McGowan was
president, appointed to investigate and
determine the responsibility for the
breakdown of the machinery of the
cruiser Buffalo when only a few days
out from New York on her way to
join Rear Admiral 'Dewey’s fleet in the
Philippines.

The report found that the accidents
were due to neglect and incompetency
on the part of the engineers of the
ship, and recommended that Chief
Engineer Frederick C. Bieg be repri-
manded. and that Assistant Engineers
Frederick J. Simmonds, William H.
MacKay and Thomas Rodgers, who
have only temporary appointments, be
discharged from the service.

Assistant-Secretary Allen modified
the findings so far as to retain the
three assistants in the service, but
transferred them to other duty.

Oregon Sheep Snowbound.

Tacoma, Wash” Nov. 29.—Thousands
of sheep are imprisoned in the moun-
tains near Pendleton, Oregon. Three
feet of snow has fallen in the foothills
and the. sheep cannot get through it
to the valleys below.

This situation results from the fact
that the sheep men have kept their
Sheep on the mountain ranges as long
as possible on account of the dryness
and lack of grass outside.

Unless chinook winds blow and melt'

the snow, sheep men will be unable
to bring their sheep out without heavy
loss. ' .

 

Elevator Incorporation.

Trenton, N. J.. Nov. B9.—The Otis
Elevator Company has filed articles of
incorporation with the secretary of
state. The capital stock is $11,000,000,
of which $4,500,000 is preferred. The
"we of the lncorporators were not
