WORST OF THE SEASON.
Boston Suffering From Yesterdays
Storm-Wires Are Down.

Boston, Feb. 14.-The storm which be-
gan yesterday morning and continued
until late last night proved to be what it
early gave promise of, the worst Of the
season.
The snow turned to rain, and later into
hail. but from the time the first flakes
fell the downpour was fncessant.
Today the streets are In bad condition,
crossings are lost in some places in a foot
OF slush. and in no place is there spot
where the mess is less than six inches in
depth. Street traffic is congested and
uncertain, and this morning the resi-
dents of the suburbs were delayed hours
in reaching their places of business owing
TO blockades on the electric lines.
Telephone, telegraph and fire alarm
wires are down all over the city, aud
snowslides from roofs make street travel
as dangerous as il is disagreeable.
The air is clearing this forenoon, and
the sun is making frantic efforts TO break
from the banks of storm clouds that are
hurrying across the city.

BENJ1MIN VI. W1RREN.

Mills, Fall River. and the stockholders
VIII Inquire Into His Dolngs.

FALL RIVER, Feb. a. - Considerable
excitement has been caused over a call
for special meeting of the stockholders
OF the Crescent Mills for next Monday.
From Messrs. Jackson. Slade and Bor.
den, counsel for the corporation. it is
learned that the explanation Of the call
which has been issued lies In the discov-
ery that the statement OF the condition
of the mill prepared by the former treas
urer of the company, Benjamin M. War
rem. and presented at the annual meet
ing of owners held recently, as not u
correct statement OF the assets aud liza
bilities.
II is alleged that Mr.. Warren, for sew
eral years past, has placed fictitious as
sets in the returns which he has submit
ted TO the directors from time TO time.
He was prompted to do this b. desire
To show that the factory was making
money under his management, Will :, as
n matter Of fact IL has been steadily de.
creasing.
AT a recent meeting Mr.. Warren was
asked to resign, since which time Alfred
s. Covell, formerly OF this city, but now
of Boston, has occupied the position
temporarily.
The directors had not the slightest idea
that the report OF Mr.. Warran fIiled 10
show the exact standing of the firm. but
il became evident that the late treasurer
has so manipulated matters as to
make the recent decision of the special
meeting OF the stockholders Of no effect
et all.
The methods for raising the debt are of
no avail, because the real Indebtedness of
the company is great deal heavier than
appeared in the last annual report.
The real amount is withheld.
Ii is stated that at Mondays meeting
two propositions will be submitted. 1t
will be suggested that the capital of $780,
coo be reduced TO a nominal sum. raised
by heavy assessment, which will cancel
the Indebtedness and give the corpora
tion working capital.
a proposition may be advanced to the
effect that the property be handed over
10 trustees who will be empowered TO
operate the factory for the benefit of the
creditors aud owners.
The Crescent mill was incorporated In
1871. 1t l. equipped with SO 04s spindles,
and 943, S94 looms. 1t manufactures what
are known as odd couats or fancy goods.
IL employs 400 bands, and numbers
among Its ockholders New Bedford,
Taunton and Lowell capitalists.
