Harrington was arrested in Brooklyn
to- day, charged with shooting Julia
Smith in Bsysrd street two weeks ago
and was brought to this city this after
noon, after being fully identified. Upon
being taken before Justice Bowling be
was committed for examination. Owing
TO the inclemency of the weather it was
decided not to send for witnesses this
afternoon and the matter was therefore
deferred. 1tappears that Harrington
was arrested BY officer Titus. of the
Sixth Precinct of Brooklyn, for attempt
ing to steal in Erwin street. Upon
being taken to the station house he was
at once supposed to be the man who
attempted to kill Julia Smith, as his
description had been furnished by
detectives. The fact OF bis arrival was
therefore telegraphed to this city.
Effects Of the Storm.
The morning way trains which are
due before II o'clock. on which the
merchants depend, are all iu, despite
numerous detentions. While the infu.
ences of the storm are thus felt on
travel it's effect on the business of the
city is equally apparent. There is no
activity in the street and business hangs
heavy. Up to 3 P. M. not one of the
steamboats, had arrived. In fact navi-
cation may be said to be suspended,
nevertheless the various steam boatmen
have no anxiety regarding overdue ves-
sells. The street cars still drag along
and although some Of the teams have
as many as eight horses they are un-
able to make anything like time. Many
of the lines, although they have quite
number OF snow ploughs out, find it
impossible to keep their cars running.
The Snow Storm
RACES with extraordinary severity
throughout Long Island. and especially
on the Northside, where the high wind
has clear sweep from Mountain Point
to Hellgate. City bound trains on
the Long Island and Southside railroad
were considerably delayed this morning
by the accumulating snow.
The latest reports from the Atlantic
indicate that the weather is as severe
AS il has been for the past six weeks.
The steamer from Bremen, due last
Monday, only arrived this morning, and
the Inman steamship, City OF Brussels
is still delayed.
