WORST STORM IN MANY YEARS
i
Metropolis ' Now 'Endangered by
Flame and Firemen Patrol Beats
as Was Custom In Colonial Days.
New York, " March 3. The record
storm for a quarter of a century has
driven seaward after paralyzing rail
road service, ruining wire communica
tions and destroying public and pri
vate business.
The weather" man believes that
winter's grip Is broken and tells us
that warmer temperatures and rain
are on the way.
The disappearing blizzard has left
four boroughs at the mercy of fire,
destroying or deadening the fire
alarm signals In Brooklyn, Richmond,
Queens and the Bronx, where firemen
are patrolling beats as they used to
do In New Amsterdam 250 years ago.
In Manhattan only is the system In
working order. '
Four 'men were killed by trains
while shoveling snow from the tracki,
two being swept from the trestle ovor
Jamaica' bay. A man vas found frozen
to death at Hackensack, N. J. Hfc
hands, covered his ears and he hat)
turned his back to the wind as t
swept from the north. He appeared
to have lost his way in the storm. I
As regards the destruction of rill-
road service which was more general
and complete than operating officials
ever remembered the situation hois.
Improved. !
The Pennsylvania and the Lehigh
Valley resumed through service and
promised, as did all the other roads,
a betterment of local service. The
New York Central and New Haven re
ported mitigated conditions. !
Nothing approaching the demolition
of telegraph and telephone service
was ever known. In this city, with
Its conduits and protected cables, tho
phone annoyance was trivial, but In
New Jersey and Long Island the con
ditions could hardly have been worse.
Unaccountable milos of telegraph
and telephone wires were useless,
broken or ssgged under snow and ice.
Only Newark could be reached by
telegraph from this city. The only di
rect service to Washington and tne
west for newspapers or commercial
use was by means of one underground
system of w'ros.

The blizzard was the most dis

- WEATHER A BARRIER ;
New Business 1 Restricted In Many
Sections of Country. i
Dun's' Review of Trade says this
week:
"Severe storms restricted new busi
ness In many sections of the country
this week and caused delay in making
deliveries on old orders. The intense
cold and heavy snowfall stimulated
activity In seasonable merchandise at
retail, but the interruption to general
trade was sufficient to retard distribu
tion considerably. Traffic blockades
hampered freight' movements and re
duced receipts resulted .in highei
prices for various food products.
"While weather conditions had a
tendency to check progress in com
mercial and industrial channels re
ports, from the leading centers con
tinue optimistic in tenor. Bent new!

by low temperatures, notably heavy

Mrs. Edwards Promises to Re
deem Her Past
LIVING NEAR PHILADELPHIA
Mrs. Edwards Desires No Notoriety
and Pleads That Her Place of Se
clusion Be Not Told Gives Thanks.
In the outskirts of Philadelphia Mrs.
Kate Edwards, released from prison
after thirteen years' Incarceration for
murder, is living in seclusion at the
home of one of the numerous womei.
who have been working for years to
gain liberty for her.
When she left the Jail in Berks
county Mrs. Edwards took on a new
name which she says blie will retain
for the rest of her life.
"Don't tell them where I am," she
Bald plteously. "Don't tell anyone
where I am. I am not Kate Edwards
any more. She is dead and buried. I
have left her behind with all the
horror and the suffering. I Just want
to start again. I never knew what
life was, or what liuiuun kindness was,
until I was put in Jail."
The copy of a letter for the news
papers prepared by Mrs. Edwards as
sisted by her attorneys follows:
"To the newspapers of the country,
and the hundreds of thousands of per
sons who have stood by me in tho
ordeal of my trial and Imprisonment:
"Through your efforts, the kindness
of the board of pardons and the grace
of his excellency, the governor of the
commonwealth, I renew my place In
the world as a free woman. To all
who have befriended me I offer my
heartfelt thanks, T wlsh them God
speed. I shall, by living a life ct
purity, endeavor to redeem the past.
1 assure you I shall not do anything
to betray your confidence. pass out
of seclusion and It In my desire that
1 pass into seclusion."
Mrs. Edwards had been In the
shadow of the gallows for nearly thir
teen years for the killing of her hus
band and was released from the Berks
county Jail under a pardon granted by
Governor Tener.
Convicted of first degree murder In
1901 she was sentenced to be hanged,
but four governors declined to fix a
day for her execution. After her con
viction petitions were circulated in
many parts of the country and were
signed by thousnnds of women pro
testing against the execution of one
of the!r srx.

CONGRESS
Criticism For Parcel Post.
During the debate on an amendment
to the postofllce appropriation bill In
the Benate Senator Brlstow of Kansas
made an attack cn the way the parcel
post law Is being administered.
The amendment that Senator Brls
tow supported provides that the pres
ent zone arrangement be not dis
turbed by the postmaster general un
less he Is given authority.
The senator pointed out many re
markable disparities under the system
of administering the law between the
cost of transporting parcels of the
same weight for longer and shorter
hauls.
He showed that In Virginia It would
cost as much to convey a parcel from
Staunton to another point thirteen
miles away as It would cost to carry
the Rame parcel from Washington to
the same destination.
"If the bill had been actuully drawn
by the big mail order houses," said Hip
senator from Kansas, "It could not
have more nearly met the require
ments of these concerns. As admin
istered tliey enjoy remarkable favors
in the way of transportation."
Ohioan May Go to Russia.
Senator Pomerene of Ohio expressed
the opinion that Representative W. C.
Sharp of Klyria, O., would be appoint
ed ambassador to Russia. Mr. Sharp
Is one of the wealthiest members of
congress front Ohio and Is said to have
amassed about $2,000,000 from the
manufacturing business and is not
averse to entering the diplomatic serv
ice. The only obstacle that appears in
the way of the appointment Is the at
titude of Governor Cox of Ohio, be
tween whom and Representative Sharp
there has been a sharp political rivalry
and some bad feeling. Senator Pom
erene was asked by the president
whether the appointment of Mr. Sharp
as ambassador would be offensive to
Governor Cox. The senator stated that
In his opinion It would not, but ad
mitted that he had not communicated
with the governor.
Former Senator Teller Dies.
Henry Moore Teller, who was secre
tary of the Interior in President
Arthur's cabinet and for more than
thirty years United States senator
from Colorado, died in Denver at th
home of his daughter, Mrs. G. E. Ty
ler. Senator Teller was eighty-four
years old and had been ill two years.

Though reserving Judgment on the
facts surrounding the execution of

sible for Ycrgura's death.
Representative Mondell, Republican,

the Mexican policy In the house pre
dicted that lu the event of the Con
stitutionalists overthrowing Huerta
there would follow a "reign of rapine,
plunder and murder" t)i;.t- would
spread over all Mexico".
"The recent cold-blooded murder or
barbarous execution, whichever it may
prove to have been, of Ranchman
Benton at Juarez," Mondell declured,
"has served to throw a sinister light
on 4 lie character of the Constitution

neither a surprise nor revelation to
those who have been following de

DISREGARDED RULES OF SEA
Captain Berry Makes Further Admis
sions About Collision.
Captain Osmyn Berry of the steam
ship Nantucket admitted at his trial
in Philadelphia that he had broken an
international navigation rule In run
ning his ship at full speed in a fog
Just before hitting the steamer Mon
roe. Not only had he violated an inter
national rule, he conceded, but In ad
dition he had disregarded a law ol
his own In running at full speed when
he could see only a quarter of a mile
ahead of his ship.
The skipper admitted that only one
while he was master on the Nantucket
had there been a lifeboat drill in
which the boats' keels touched the
water.
He admitted that If he had stopped
his engines on hearing the fog signal
from the Monroe and "proceeded cau
tiously," as the navigation laws re
quire, there would have been no col
lision. Later, however, he became
confused and Insisted that If he had
Mowed down to half speed the col
lision would have occurred Just the
same.
