Three Persons Lying Dead and An.
 other Dying as the Result of a M ans
 Passion and Brutality
 WATERvILLE DEPOT, Me, March 13.-The inquest upon the body of Mrs. Angie M. Warren was concluded this afternoon. The jury found that she came to her death by the violence of her husband. County Attorney Carleton and Coroner Carver drew a con- plaint charging him with murder. Warren by his attorney waived examination and an mittimus had been issued to take him to jail. lie had been handcuffed. but requested a last interview with his two chil- dren. This was granted and an officer ac- companied him. In an instant he drew from his sleeve a seven shooter, 32-oalibre, and shot the youngest child through the head. The officer was so taken by surprise that be- fore he could recover the desperate man had shot the eldest through the head and turned the revolver upon himself, the third shot taking effect in his heart. The eldest girl was instantly killed, the younger is dy- ing and the mother lies in another room GOV cred with bruises from the top of her head to the sole of her foot. A sadder or more horrible sight has never been seen in this State, the entire family being sacrificed to the passion of the father Two brothers of the murderer were in the house at the time a1d the sister of the mother was in a neighboring house. The coroner ordered the bodies prop. erly cared for and quieted the angry and ex- cited crowd that openly accused MT. War rens brothers with supplying him with the weapon for escaping the officer.

Court street yesterday about p. m. They got as far as Church street when the horse stopped and looked down Church. He shook his head at the sight of the huge snow drifts and refused to go any further. After urging him the driver gave up the attempt and took the team back to the stable.
 Numerous persons ill undertaking to go home Monday night got stuck in immense drifts of snow and were only able to extricate themselves after being aided by persons who heard their cries of distress.
 Milk was very scarce yesterday. What lit- tie there was was eagerly bought by people at premium, some persons even paying as high as fifteen cents per quart. Large num- bers of people purchased condensed milk:
 The birds suffered terribly by the storm. Large numbers of dead birds were to be seen about the streets. They were beaten and frozen to death in the terrible blizzard Mon day night.
 Deep Drifts.
 Throughout the entire length of Orchard street. between Davenport and Sylvan ave- nues, the snow is banked up to tremen- dous height, in some places it being esti- mated to be at least from twelve to fifteen feet high. There was comparatively very little passing through that block yesterday by pedestrians and no other travel passed through that part of the street. A Roof Blown or.

employed on the same boat, undertook to go
 it would keep until the next day. They start ed from the shore in a small boat for tine ! steamer. She lay about 8 quarter Of mile 1 off Oyster Point. They reached the steamer without any difficulty. After going on board I they went below to the engine room where 1 they were engaged in fixing the fire, totally obliyious of what was happening to the steamer, namely, that she was dragging her anchor and drifting toward the bar which is
 just off the Point. After drifting few
 minutes the steamer suddenly ran aground on
 the bar and stuck fast. The men rushed
 on deck, but the snow so thick that they
 were unable to fix their whereabouts, SO they
 waited until about o'clock in the afternoon
 when they thought that they would under
 take to reach land as there were no pro
 visions board. They thought that they
 were capable of rowing to the Point, thing
 which was beyond the power of any two men.
 Finally they started, and after rowing for
 about an hour and feeling thoroughly ex-
 hausted, but believing all the while that they
 were nearing home, they sighted an object
 which they thought was the dock at
 Oyster Point and after desperate
 struggle they reached it. It proved
 to be a canal boat loaded with coal lying at anchor fully a half mile from where they had left the steamer. man on board the Canal boat saw them approaching and helped ths exhausted men from the rowboat to the canal boat which proved an excellent,,refuge for them. If they had not reached this boat l they would undoubtedly have been lost, as 1 the wind blew terrific gale on the harbor. | A steam tug was lying alongside of the l canal boat and the captain kindly took the ! two sailors up to Belle dock, whence they I walked down to Oyster Point, reaching there | about o'clock that afternoon. The Smith | Brothers knew nothing about their going out l to the steamer until about two hours after they started, when they felt worried, fearing the men would not reach the steamer as the | air was so thick with snow. They did not know whether the sailors had reached the steamer not until they showed up late in the afternoon. The Smith Brothers lies easi- ly on the bar and will be able to be got of without much damage at the next flood tide

 Zero and Much Suffering Results.
 BOSTON, March 13.-The Globe has reoeiv- ed the following by means of long distance telephoning:
 NEW YORK, March 13.-The mercury in New York this noon was down to zero. All railroads are utterly demoralized. Presi- there never was such a state of affairs on the road before. No street cars are running in New York city or Brooklyn. The elevated roads are only partially in operation. The East river is frozen over and thousands of people are crossing over on the ice. No ferryboats are running. Trains with two engines are being run every fifteen minutes across the bridge, but the roadway of the bridge is closed Snow kept falling during the night and further fall is threatened. Immense drifts block up the streets and travelling is difficult. Up to noon to day no mails were sent out of New York nor were any received from neighboripg districts. Business was sus- pended to-day in all the exehangesThe custom house was open, but no business was done. No pen can describe the effects of the bliK- gard. The streets present immense lines of snow banks, strewn with branches of trees and other debris. The western side of Broadway has the appearance of @ backwoods path There are thirty trains stalled between the Grand Central depot and Spuyren Duyvil. There was no milk supply in New York to-day and the stock oE condensed milk is being rapidly exhausted. A holiday quiet prevails throughout the business portion of the city. George D. Barrymore, importer of hops, was found frozen dead in a snow drift this morning. Annie Foster was found frozen stiff in a doorwsy.
