THE BLIZZARD OF RAIN.

The Storm of Rain and Wind Is One of
the Most Violent of Modern Times.
The weather took new turn last night
and the general symptoms up to the time
OF going to press are that the public Is
fully as much dissatisfied with the change
as it was with the weather immediately
preceding.
The pew weather was ushered in last
night about 10 o'clock with a binding
but perfectly self-possessed fall of snow
People retired for the night under the
impression that snow shovels and over.
coats would be the main commodities in
demand on the morrow.
AT IL O'Clock the character of the storm
was revised and the snow changed To a
drizziing rain that gradually increased i'm
volume until the streets seemed actually
In danger of soaking up and floating
away. The wind began 70 rise early i'm
the morning aud all day long it has
blown perfect gale. At Z o'clock the
city engineer reported one half inch of
water fallen. A oon the temperature
was fifty degrees.
Trains are running under special or
ders to take unusual precautio IS at all
points where the roadbed is known to be
AT all insecure.
Vessels At port have made no attempt
to leave, deeming 1t the wisest course to
wait until the storm has abated.
Yesterday twenty-two harges, loaded
with %, 75i tons of coal arrived mt This
port, just in time 10 escape the storm
which would have made no end Of trouble

SOME GUESSES
IB0UT THE DETELOPMENT or the
BIG RIILRO1D DEAL
IL Is Suspected That Mr.. Mcleod May Re
Working with the Vanderbilt-Morgan-
New Haven Interests.

New YORK, Feb l0.-As has been eX
planned In these dispatches the Wander
bilt- Morgan interests have started out TO
control the railroad situation IN Southern
New England. They now have every
thing worth counting south of the Bos,
ton and Albany except the New England
road, which both Mr.. Mcleod and Mr.:
Parsons claim 60 control. IL was learned
that IL was only question OF time when
this system would be annexed To the
Vanderbilt Morgan alliance. The Bos-
tan and Maine may be acquired also, but
this is not believed 10 be IA necessity.
Mr. Mel eod's actions in Reading have
greatly antagonized the Pennsylvania
railroad. and Mr. Mcleod has not failed
TO take advantage Of every occasion TO
annoy and hamper the Readings pow
erful rival. IL would seem natural,
therefore, for Mr.. Morgan and the Penn
sylvania To act in harmony IN case they
have any desire TO clear the field. The
PENNSYLVANIA company was very glad
when the purchase of the Old Colony was
announced. The Pennsylvania's route
10 Boston is over the New Haven aud
Old Colony railroads.
There Is an agreement between the
New York Central and Pennsylvania sys-
TENS promising each other mutual pro-
lection and agreeing not to build into
agrees not 20 build in New York aud New
England. but to allow the Vanderbilt
lines to have n monopoly of that terri
tory. On the other hand, the New York
Central agrees not TO encroach upon the
Pennsylanias territory. 1t must not
build into Pennsylvania, and probably
the control of the Reading by the Van
derbilts is prohibited.
Can IL be that the Vanderbilt people
and Pennsylvania people have come
closer together with view 10 cornering
the gentleman who is now spreading
himself out over several states
1t was reported that the relations be-
tween the Pennsylvania railroad ana the
Drexels, who used To do the financIering
for that railroad company, have been re-
sumed. This would give color To the
above theory.
There is another report that Mr.
Mcleod is really working in the inter
ests of the Vanderbilt-Morgan party in
furtherance of their scheme for estab-
lshing great consolidated system in
New England, and that the apparent fric-
tion between Messrs. Mcleod aud Morgan
is all assumed for the purpose OF better
carrying out their plans. A big cousoli-
dation naturally provokes public oppos-
tion and there might be legislation
against il, but with Mr.. Mcleod appear
ing to prevent the combination opposi-
tion Is disarmed, in measure.

Cumberland vs.. Pawtucket.
The Senate committee on judiciary
gave a hearing today on the proposed act
for supplying the town of Cumberland
with pure water.
DR.. Garvin spoke in favor of the act
which would provide for the taking of
the water of Snea:h's pond In Cumber-
land He said that the pond belonged 10
Cumberland, and spoke al some length
on the right OF the town 10 take the
water for its own use.
City Solicitor Barnefield of Pawtucket
appeared against the act. The pond in
question, it is claimed, is one of the
sources of supply of the Pawtucket water
works, and ii the supply is taken away
from Pawtucket no money can make
good its loss IA it Is the purest water TO
he found in the vicinity. The city of
Pawtucket have acquired by condemna-
tion the right TO use the water.
Representative Darling, who is also
superintendent oi the Pawtucket water
works, spoke briefly against the bill.
Senator Eastou hoped the hearing
would be journed till expert testimony
could be procured TO show the amount of
injury the city of Pawtucket would
suffer.
The hearing was then adjourned for
two weeks.
