Plenty of Wind but Little Rain-Amone
the Shipping.

Plenty of Wind but Little Rain-Among
the Shipping.
The southeast gale struck this city
about g. 80 a. m. Saturday. Rain fell
heavily for short time and then in brief
spits. The wind attained the velocity of
36 miles an hour by II. 80 a. M, but at
noon the skies cleared and the sun APP
peared. The rain fall was but thirty hum
dredths of an inch.
A large number of vessels dragged their
anchors in the bay, but no material
damage. resulted. A three masted
schooner, light, dragged her anchor off
Fort Georges, but did not get on the
reefs. The Ada Adelia, Capt. Small, of
Cherryfeld, carried away her maintop-
mast in the blow. The schooner Lizzie
Clark from Boston, had a very rough
passage, carrying away an anchor and
having her sails badly torn Everything
movable on deck was washed off.
The fishing schooners Viking, Edmund
Keene and Cora Smith didn't mind the
gale a bit and came into port with 10000
pounds of fresh fish.
The schooner Emily P. Wright, Capt.
O'Neil, was out in the storm and had a
hard time He, however, lost no part of
his deck load. On arriving here one of
the crew, Fred Alden of Provincetown
was taken suddenly sick and was removed
to the Marine hospital. Capt O'Neil
brought in $4,000 pounds of cod, haddock
and halibut.
The schooner Forest Maid, Capt. Lewis
Orr. arrived Sunday morning. She was
ont in the great storm and the crew had
a thrilling experience. The schooner was
anchored, but got adrift and was badly
handled by wind and sea. 1t was dark
and thick and the situation was in some
respects grave enough. At about 3
o'clock in the morning big three master
suddenly bore down on the schooner, and
If was feared that they should be cut
down. They were at that time displaying
no light, it having been found impossible
to keep their lanterns burning. Il

CUT HIS BABY'S THROAT.
Then Used the Razor To End His
Own Misspent Life.
HAVEN F. WINN,S WIFE COULD NOT
LIVE WITH HIM

And the Courts Had Given Her the Gus
tody of Their Two Year Old Child
Yesterday Winn Went to See His Son
and While His Wife Was at Church
Killed Both the Baby and Himself.
Springfield, Mass, October 15.-Hayen
F. Winn killed his two-year-old son this
morning by emitting his throat with ra-
zor, and then committed suicide in the
same way. His wife obtained decree
for separate maintenance from the pro-
bate court Wednesday, and had been Civ
en- the custody of their only child. She
then went to live with her father. Since
his wife left him, Winn vowed to obtain
possession of the child at any cost. He
called frequently at the house, and tried
to induce his wife by persuasion and
threats to live with him again. She pos
itively refused to do SO at present, and
this refusal maddened him. He had
been given permission by the court to
see the child Sundays, and going to the
house this morning with the razor he
was allowed to enter, and for several
hours carried the baby up and down in
the sitting room. His wife and her fa-
ther had in the meantime driven to
church, leaving Mrs. Hecox and her IA
year-old son at home with Winn. just
before ~ Winn began to act SO strangely
that Mrs. Hecox became frightened and
sent her son for assistance. During his
absence Winn killed the child and him
self. Winn was about 80 years old, and
of sullen and morose disposition. He
was married four years ago at Battle
Creek, Michigan. Previously he had
been stenographer for General Draper,
in the Hopedale Mills. On leaving he
was given a Bible and a warm indorse-
ment as an earnest worker in the Chris
tian ard temperance causes. He went to
Providence, R. l., where he was treasur-
er of the Home Building Association in
1890. He was forced to give up this po-
sition and leave the city because he
forged the names of two of the officers
of the association to two notes. His IA
tler and brother made up the amount
and prosecution was prevented. Winn
then moved to ST. Albans, VT, where he
became agent for creamery, and lived
under the name of j. J. Lee. He came
to this city to live last June, and has
since been in frequent trouble with his
wife, who is spoken of as an estimable
woman.

and th AFT danoar wac over

way of the three master. They succeeded,
and that danger was over.
But the storm was at it's worst, the
wind blew living gale and the sea was
running high. For time it was fight
to get through, but as the storm went
down, Capt. Orr had time to look about
and see what he had lost. The dory was
gone, the main boom went just after
their encounter with the three master,
torn off. The decks were all right, and
they made port during the morning
hours. They passed three master, and
as she has not come in they are of the
opinion that she ran into Portsmouth.
The Bath Times reports the Nellie J.
Dinsmore of:.this city as making that
port with sails split aud jibs torn to
ribbons. She was Obliged to stand off
during the night of the storm and when
she run in it was found that her cargo
had shifted and that she was leaking
badly $.

short sail and apparently coming in.
One was bark, and the other brig.
Capt. Bennett said that his trip down was
marked by no event of special interest.
1t was a howler of windn and that
was all.
Perhaps the most remarkable storm
story so far received, comes from the
/ Coaticook station on the Grand Trunk.
When the storm of Saturday was at it's
height, the down express was going as
fast as it could with the wind striking
it all along the line. A woman in one of
the cars sent child of seven back to the
rear for glass of water. After getting
the water the child stepped to the door,
and leaned forward just as a gust of
wind struck the train, and was bown off
the car and into the bushes. The con-
ductor stopped the train, and with others
went back for the body, supposing that
the child was dead. To their complete
astonishment the boy was found alive,
and about ready to walk to the train. He
was hardly bruised. 1t is regarded as one
of the most marvellous escapes in railroad
history.
