A STORY OF THE STORM.
How Three Horses and an Officer Kept
MI. Regan Busy.

How Inree Horses ana an OllCeF hcpG
MI. Regan Busy.
Last evening, Mr.. Samuel Regan, a
hackman, started out in the storm driv-
ing pair of horses, one of which he
had borrowed to take the place of one Of
his own horses. Now the horse which
was borrowed objected to, helping haul
Nh. Regan's hack, and at the corner of
Pearl and Federal streets kicked and
broke the whiffletree. Then Mr.. Regan
tooksthe kicker and started for his stable
with the intention of getting the horse
which had been left athome to fill the
place of the animal which had gone on a
strike. Mr.. Regan blanketed the horse
still attached to the hack, and expected
to find him still standing guard over the
vehicle when he returned. But in this,
MI. Regan was doomed to disappoint-
ment, for when he again reached the
hack, leading, the fresh horse,
he found his carriage disappearing
under the drifts while the horse he had

THE STORM IN THE CITY.
Over Six Inches of Snow Falls, But the
Trains Are Not Much Delayed.

Over Six Inches of Snow Falls, But the
Trains Are Not Much Delayed.
Yesterday morning snow began falling
in leisurely sort of way, but as the
wind veered more to the southeast the
snow fell faster, and was damper, until
by nightfall the wind was blowing a gale
and the air was so filled with snow 1T
was almost impossible to see any dis
tance ahead. The effect was almost that
of fog. In all about eight inches of
snow fell.
The storm was heaviest towards the
West and lightest East. For that rea-
son trains over the Maine Central and
Grand Trunk were but little if any de-
tanned by the storm. The trains due at
4.3O and p. m. over the Eastern and
Western divisions of the Boston & Maine
were delayed thirty and fifty minutes re-
spectively. The Rochester train, due at
p. m. was delayed about an hour. The
train due from Boston at Sp. m. gotin a
little over an hour late.
The Telegraph wires suffered severely.
West of New York great damage was
done to them and last night the Western
Union had difficulty in keeping up COM
munication with Boston, all the
wires being useless for number OF
hours. This state of affairs naturally in
terfered seriously with the news service,
and much of the report did not get
through. The trouble will be remedied
this morning.
The electric cars to Deering, it was
stated at the company's Office, had very
little trouble, and the horse cars made
their regular trips with four horses on
both the city lines. The snow plows ran
frequently and kept the tracks clear as
possible.
The electric wires were troubled in
one or two places, at the corner of Chest
nut and Oxford streets the electric wire
fell and was sputtering when it was seen
by the police, and Officer Brackett guard
ed it SO no injury could be done, until
the company cut off the circuit. Sew
eral other arcs were out but the general
lighting of the city was well preserved.
The telephone wires were not down, so
the operator stated, but on some of the
lines they were so noisy that conversa-
ton could be carried on with difficulty.
The life saving station reported that it
was very thick there and a heavy sea was
running.

MATTE MlTCHELL'S DUKE.
Religious Marriage of the Fair American
in Paris.

PARIS, February 1.-THE religious
marriage of the Duke de la Rochefou-
eauld and Miss Matte Mitchell, daughter
of Senator Mitchell of Oregon, took place
today at the Church of Sainte Clothilde.
The church was crowded with the
friends of the two families. Miss
Mitchell's dress was plain ivory satin,
edged with orange blossoms. The dress
was covered with long veil of tulle
fastened at the top of the head by a
Henry vi. coronet of orange blossoms,
among them being a handsome diamond
and pearl brooch, the gift of Mr.. and
Mrs. Whitelaw Reid. Miss Mitchell will
be remembered as one of the bellies of
Washington society. She is undoubted-
ly beautiful woman, and her neck and
shoulders have been described as being
as beautiful as those of the Venus
Medici. The bridegroom wore the uni
form of Captain in the Tenth Chasseurs.
The Hon. Whitelaw Reid performed his
part of the ceremony, that of giving
away the bride, in a most graceful man.
ner. The whole American colony in
Paris may be said to have been present.

BARCELONA, February 1.-THE trou-
bles in Barcelona between the Anarchists
and the authorities show no sign of
abatement at present, but the two or
three disturbances that have occurred
this week have not been serious enough
to render necessary the calling out of the
military to aid the gendarmes in preserv-
ing order. Though revolver shots have
been exchanged by the police and mem
bers of the mob, nobody has been hurt
except a woman, who, it is believed, had
nothing whatever to do with the affair in
which she was wounded. The execu-
tions of the four Anarchists at Xeres
yesterday is believed to have precipi-
tated the disturbances, their friends here
desiring to show their sympathy for
them.
During the past night proclamations
were posted on the walls and other
places about the city, menacing the gov
ernment with vengeance for the execu-
ton of the Xeres Anarchists. The dis
tribution of these proclamations has had
the effect of alarming the more timid Of
the inhabitants, who believe concerted
attempt will be made to damage their
property. There has been no relaxation
of the police vigilance, and arrests are
frequent of persons who are suspected of
preaching the Anarchist doctrine. The
leaders of the lawless element are pretty
well known to the police, and close
watch is kept upon their every move
ment. Today three men, known to be
Anarchists, and large number of others
who are suspected of being their sympa-
thizers, if not active supporters, were
taken into custody and lodged in Jail.
MADRID, February II, = Dispatches
have been received here today from sew
eral places in Spain, showing that the
Anarchists have been greatly worked up
by the executions yesterday at Rens, a
manufacturing town in Tarragona. The
police have arrested several prominent
Anarchists who were openly distributing
fly sheets melting the lower classes to de-
monstrations against the authorities. At
Valencia, in which very large number
of workmen are employed in the various
Industries for which Valencia is noted,
placards have been posted calling upon
the Anarchists and their symp3thizers to
take vengeance for the death of the Xeres
Anarchists.

Last evenings Boston Journal, speak
ing of the storm which prevailed yester-
day, said:
The advocates of the ''sun spot and
storm theory are happy today. They
can't boast of great gales, bnt the snow
storm will probably prove the heaviest OF
the winter in the United States. The
rain OF snow has not been heavy along
the storms path before today, as the cy-
clone has come from the Canadian North
west and has not found much moisture
to feed upon. Tuesday evening press
ure was 1914 at both Fort Buford, N.
D., and Qu'Appelle, N. W. t., the
latter station being on the easterly slope
of the Canadian Rockies. Wednesday
morning 1852 was recorded at Huron.
That evening 29. AZ was the CMcagO rec
ord; this morning the pressure at Buffa-
10 was 1924. These stations were where
the storm was centred at the respective
times. Following its course at its pres
ent rate the cyclone should centre near
Portland at s o'clock tonight, when the
snow should cease falling at Boston fol-
lowed by cold wave and northwest
gales. The storm centre probably took
the shortest route from Buffalo, on Lake
Erie, to the sea, passing the Hub at 2
O'Clock. Probably six inches of snow
will fall in the city proper and nine or
twelve outside.
The gale had velocity OF some ~
miles from the east at 2 o'clock.
at 2.3O this afternoon the snow fell SO
densely as to occasionally hide the top of
the Ames Building from the view of
those who looked from the State Street
Exchange Building.

The Ice Locomotive Comes to Grief.

PoUGHKEEpsIE, February 1.-THE ice
locomotive invented by a New York boil
er Inspector was shipped from here to
New Hamburg and put on the ice there
yesterday. It got away from the man in
charge and started for the shore. Men
ran after it but could not catch it, and
coming to weak spot it broke through
the ice and sank. The trials so far have
been very unsatisfactory, owing to the
soft condition of the ice, but the machine
will be raised and another trial made.

lis nothing was heard of him until last
night, when Mary Reese, a prominent
and respectable young woman, was &C
costed by him.
Miss Reese left the house to accompany
a friend who had been visiting her a
short distance. Upon nearing her home
she was stopped by a man, who, on pre-
text, asked her some trivial question.
The next instant he clasped her about
the waist and madly endeavored to kiss
her. The young woman's screams
brought assistance from the house. but
the man fled and no trace of him could
be found. Miss Reese was completely
unnerved and tainted on reaching her
home. from the effects of which she has
not yet fully recovered, The affair
created quite sensation. All efforts to
discover the identity of her assault have
been unsuccessful.
