HAvERHILL, Mass, January 24.-Danial
Murphy and Frank Wood were arrested her
last night on suspicion Of being connected
with the Reed murder at North Salem, N. Fl.
Later developments tend to show that Mrs.
Reed had an infatuation for Murphy. who
has been working In Salem during the past
season. and that 1t was a matter of common
knowledge that Murphy boasted that he
would soon be master of the farm.
The police have information to the effect
that when the men arrived at Reeds honse
Ms. Reed came to the door and greeted
them. kissing Murphy. They went into the
Reed, during which Reed was beaten and
kicked until he was dead, after which the
body was dragged into the barn where 1t was
found.
Barry, who drove the men to the house.
says says ne was engaged oy IN Murphy for the Job
house Murphy struck Reed then beat and
kicked him, Read called for help aud Barry
claims to have been SO frightened that he
drove back to the city.
Mrs; Reed was placed under arrest and
Portsmouth Jail by Sheriff Coffin.
Barry Is held as witness, He said to-
night that when Murphy and Wood entered

A NEWSPAPER POOL.
Witnesses Tell the Silver Committee
That There Is No Other.

WASHINGTON, January 24.-The silver
pool Investigation committee continue its in
quiru this morning. Congressman Dorsey
Of Nebraska was the first witness. He knew
nothing of the existence of a silver pool. A
man named Hedenberg, Chicago real estate
dealer, had showed witness silver certificates
but had never mentioned anything of dis
posing of any certificates to Congressman
Witness said he introduced at Hedenburg's
request In the House.
E. o. Leech, director Of the mint, testified
that the amount Of silver bu lion In sight
million ounces more then half Of which was
held by the Mercantile Safe Deposit Com
pany, New York and Jan. I, 1891, amount
In sight was 12,439.0o0 ounces, more than
half of the amount being held by the same
company. Witness knew nothing of the ex-
isteuca Of any silver pool.
q. V. Parsons of Brooklyn. N. Y, took
the stand. He was one Of those named
by Stevens, the correspondent who wrote
the articles that caused the investigation.
Frsrsons rs @ said he he was an agent for Wells.
but he had no knowledge Of any pool nor OF
the connection OF any Senators or Repre-
sentatives or government officials with the
purchase of silver. He thought no consider
able amount OF silver was held outside OF
New York. Owenby had told witness that
he had an interest In silver. Owenby told
him about deal he was in, but did not say
anything about members Of Congress being
In 1t. 1t was deal between Owenby and
bank cashier.
Z. F. MacCartney, of the banking firm of
Carson & MacCartney. gave his opinion that
no silver pool existed outside Of newspapers
When MacCartpey had finished hfs testi-
m0ny Chairman Dlngley said he wished to
correct statement published In several
New York newspapers that the committee
knew In advance what statement Senator
Vest would make and adjourned from Satur-
day until Wednesday, 70 avoid its being
made until Senator Cameron had been re-
elected. No member Of the committee, he
said, had any knowledge whatever as to
what Senator Vest wished to say. Senator
Vest had written the committee requesting
to be allowed to make statement Saturday.
The committee replied that he would be
heard as requested and had met Saturday to
hear him. On that day Senator Vest sent
them word that owing to the state of affairs
In the Senate he could not appear and stated
that he would appear later. The committee
having no other witnesses to examine adj
journed until Wednesday at the request OF
Mr. Oates, who had some business to attend
to that would prevent attendance until that
day. He made this statement, he said, In
justice to the committee, as such statements
as the one published did them injustice and
the country Injury.
The committee then adjourned until Mon
day.

The Triple Oak On Duel Island Shat
tered.

HARTwELL, Ga, January A.-The triple
oak" on Duel Island In the Savannah River
was struck by lightning recently aud shat
tered. The tree had history. At the time
Of the May freshet In 1910 five men were
farming on this island. When the rain be-
gan they had no idea Of danger and made no
effort to leave the island. In short time the
water had risen to such height that they
could not escape. They found a tree with
hree trunks united at the bottom and fork
ing few feet above the ground. and made a
platform with boards, upon which they re-
mained for five days and nights before they
were rescued.
1t was under this tree that BENJAMIN F.
Perry and Bynum fought duel In the days
Of notification In 1892 Bynum was a fiery
nulllfier. He insulted Perry and challenge
followed. At the day appointed they met on
the island, each with his pistol and coffin.
Bynum was an expert shot, and they fought
at ten PAGES. At the word Perry fred first.
Bynum then fired, aud the bali from his pis-
tol tore hole through Perry's coat, exposing
the red lining. Col Huger, who was near
Bynum, exclaimed, Hes got it." and By
mum replied, II have. too" Perry's coat was
very. loose, and the bullet grazed the skin,
leaving blue streak around his body. BY.
mum was struck In the thigh, cutting the
main artery, and he bled to death.

sEATs THE BIG BLIZZARD.
New York Never Saw the Like Of Il
Before.
New York and Brooklyn In Utter
Darkness Last Night.

NEW YORK, January 25-The snow, sleet
and wind storm, after midnight, was the
most disastrous to poles and wires In this
city ever known. Telegraph and telephone
communication in all directions is almost
wholly suspended. There are no wires east
beyond Williams Bridge. Over rs poles are
down between there and New Haven. There
are no electric lights here or in Brooklyn to-
night Fallen poles and wires seriously
blockaded travel in some parts of the city
this morning. and did considerable other
damage. A horse was killed by a falling
pole on SD street, and another by br )ken
electric wire on Chambers street. The fire
troll. and an army Of men is at work repair
ing the damages. The Western Union has
only three wires. These are in the western
circuit, BY way of Albany to Chicago. Re-
pairs will occupy several days, although
1000 men will go to work tomorrow. The
company will suffer great loss The storm
Is supposed to have extended inland but a
short distance. The storm Is severe In ad-
Jacent towns In New Jersey and Long ISL
and. On 10Th street this morning a row of
telegraph poles. so feet high, extending from
Sth avenue to the North river, snapped like
plpestems under the weight Of sleet laden
and two big cables containing 40 to 70 wires
each, were carried down, striking the sur
rounding buildings. A big pole was partly
wrecked at ihe elevated railroad station at
59th street and 9th avenue. The police were
ordered to exercise special vigilance against

To Editors.

Boston, January 25.-The Western Union
has no wires to New York tonight, and can
give us no connection with that city. The
wires between Albany and New York are
all down, so we cannot get report of the
New York State Press. That organization
is as badly off as we. Furthermore, an ef-
fort to get a report by way of Chicago and
Buffalo failed. Buffalo has only one wire to
New York, and that is being worked duplex
for delayed business only. The Postal Tele-
graph Company is no better off, having no
wires to New York.
In New England we can reach no farther
north than Manchester and no farther south
than New Haven. We shall get what news
we can tonight under these discouraging cir
cumstances. 1t Is possible that the situation
may improve later. II. II. FLETCHER.
