THE STORY OF A STORM
A Round House Partially Blown
Down at Harris Avenue.
IT WAS A BUSTLING BREEZE,
Locomotive and Cars Damaged No
One Hurt-Chimneys, etc, RIown Down
The Storm Was General - Reports
From All Around Say So.

The severe storm of yesterday afternoon
wrought devastation throughout the en-
tire city. At $50 o'clock there was
fierce gust of wind that caused everything
portable to sway and swing in a manner
calculated to frighten the spectators.
Blinds crashed and shutters creaked, and
the pedestrian unfortunate enough to
be out in the fury of the storm bent
nearly double in his endeavors to recover
his foothold. The full brunt of the storm
was felt in the vicinity of Exchange
Place and the Cove, where the wind,
sweeping down the valley. met no obsta-
Gle in its impetuous career. The round
house of the New York and New England
railroad at Harris avenue, was situated
directly in the path of the tempest and
the section n ar the railroad, unable to
Withstand the force brought to bear upon
il, collapsed. At the time of the accident
there was but one locomotive in the
building but this was not damaged to any
great extent.
Inside the fated structure ten men were
at work. Just as the arch began 20 totter
and tremble, Foreman Lewis happened TO
notice the impenC danger, and with "a
shout of warning his men reached a
place of safety The employees started
from their work, made haste to secure
safety in Hight, ana when the section fell
n moment later all were safe. Master
Mechanic Gates and his clerk, Mr. Baker,
who were in the office but a short distance
away, were informed by frightened EN-
ploye that three men had been buried in
the ruins. The Central station was
notified and both ambulances were soon
on the spot. During the interim a roll of
the workmen had been secured and all
hands responded.
An engine standing outside the round
house, was completely covered by the de-
bris of the roof and wall rs was n repair
car standing in the rear. All the water
pipes in the building were broken and il
was necessary for the engines to obtain
their supply during the night from the
New York, Providence and Boston Rail
road. The damage is extensive, but will
probably not exceed -, 600

there is much less diptheria and scarlet
fever than has been known at this season
for several years The scarlet fever re-

about 5000 more To be expended. The

THE ALMY TRIAL TO-DAY
In a Crowded Court Room With
Mercury Below Zero.
THE MURDERER QUITE CHEERFUL
Testimony Given for the Defence Sets
Forth Aimy's Tender Love for Chris
tie-Trying TO Prove That the Crime
Was Not Premeditated but n Sudden
Impulse.

PLYMOUTH, n. H., Nov. Is, 1s9l.-Th'
court opened at 905 o'clock this morning
Every one was wondering why the judge
did not adjourn court TO a more cheerful
and less cold day. Justice Doe, however
only removed his slouch hat and put on q
thin black silk skull cap.
The first person TO enter the room when
the doors were opened was an aged female
with yellow and wrinkled face, who
made break across the court room, defy
ing Deputy Clifton with her green um-
brella and determined look. After she
became seated the room was quickly filed.
Almy slept some during the night and
this moring at breakfast appeard quite
cheerful. The deputy did not have TO rap
for order for there was solemn stiffness in
the room when Attorney Storey, the col
league of Counselor Burleigh. arouse 10
make the opening statement for the de
fense. He spoke in clear and distinct
voice He was clothed in brown chin
chilla overcoat. He occasionally moved
about during the speech as the court
room temperature was about three de-
grees below zero, there being no fire while
a large window was open. Everyone had
his overcoat on.
He outlined the case in enumerating the
tender affection Almy had shown Christie
Warden and the little offices she had per-
formed for him thus endeavoring to es-
tablish that the homicide was the result
of a sudden passion.
Almy remained calm and impassive
during the recital of the defence maintain
ing the same position as yesterday with
no general change in his features even
when Attorney Storey read love letter
written by Christie TO the man who mur-
dered her. The attorney for the defence
then told the story of the crime doing all
he could to favor Almy without deviating
from the truth.
The attorney made his statements in a
very commendable and matter of fact
manner, without sentiment and the way
of general excuse for Almy without any
attempt TO exaggerate the details Of the
case
Dnring the latter part of the recital
Almy came near breaking down several
times, but he succeeded in neryily con-
trolling himself by biting his lips and
wiping the tears from his eyes with his
white handkerchief.
Eight witnesses were sworn, and for
the first time the public had chance to
see who they were and what they looked
like.
j. w. wilkins of Peabody, proved an
old gentleman with grey beard, and bald
head which Justice Doe very kindly in
formed him he might cover with his hat
if he chose. IL was with this witness that
the trial opened on the side OF the defense
The witness referred TO the Texas ranch
owned by his sons, and testified that Almy
came to him in 1889 and asked if there
was any possibility of his securing posi-
tion on the ranch.
