THE STORM AND Co1D,
Traffic on the Sound Impeded-The Pee
 Delayed-Another Cold Snap.

l Traffic on the Sound Impeded-The Peck Delayed-AnOther Cold Snap. Those who were so unfortunate as to be out of doors last night must have l been forcibly reminded of the blizzard of 188S From all accounts the storm was the most severe since that menora-
 ble occasion. The wind was blowing hard from the north, the snow was fall ing very fast and the thermometer was s degrees above zero. The storm came from the Carolina coast. There was a drop in the barometer to 29.
 The storm blocked traffic on the sound considerably, putting the finishing touches on the cold snap of two days which had just preceded it. The Rich ard Peck did not reach her moorings at Belle dock last night until half-past eleven. The harbor is frozen over. The Peck's delay was caused by the blindlng snow. The Starin boat also did not ar rive in this city until Il last evening. It came into the harbor with the Rich ard Peck.
 The weather bureau officials say that another cold wave is following on the heels of the one which has been caus- ing people hereabouts to dance for the last few days. The cold snap had mod erated slightly last night and though the walking was anything but good the rise in the tempera ture was very accept able.
 The street railroad companies were somewhat delayed, but prompt work with the sweepers prevented any great loss of time. A car got off the track on Church street just north of Chapel. This did not stop traffic any except on the Edgewood avenue, as it was one of the cars of that line.
 Around the state the storm has been felt, but wires and tracks are in fair condition and trains are running on schedule time. In Danbury the temper ature was 6 degrees above zero, with eight inches of snow. In Stonington it looked as though the great blizzard would be outstripped. At Falls Village the temperature was degrees above zero which is a considerable rise from what 1t has been.
 The steamers Chelsea and Lawrence of the Norwich line were unable to go up the Thames, which is frozen over.
 The indications for to-day are colder weather and more snow with northeast gales.
 The tugs Walsh and Resolute, with barges containing 6,000 tons of coal for the Consolidated road, are reported ice

He declared he spoke against the strike until the men were discharged from the Pullman, when he ordered boycott.
 All efforts Of government counsel to confuse Debs were without avail He will resume his testimony tomorrow.

THEY WE'RE ENCASED IN ICE
BODIES OF THREE MEN AND 4 DOG
 FOUND ON 4 TESS EL,S DECK.

The Logbook of the Schooner Dixon Found in the Cabin-The Bodies Landed and All
 but One of the Humans Were Identified at That Point
 Vineyard Haven, Feb 7.-There is no doubt that the wreckage which drifted ashore at Lambert's Cove, on the north side of this island last night is what there is left of the schooner TIP. Dixon of Rockland Me, Captain BostwiclS. which left New York February for Rockland. The wreckage consists of only the vessels deck, broken off just after the foremast and the cabin, The hull of the vessel is gone. The bodies of three men and dog were on top of the cabin. The men were encased in ice and their legs were hanging down the cabin skylight, The logbook was found in the cabin, which proved to be that of the schooner T. P. Dixon.
 When the bodies were landed on the beach at Lambert's Cove one of them was immediately identified by the New England Associated Press marine corre-
 
 Bostwick of the Dixon. Afterwards while the undertakers at Vineyard Ha- ven were preparing the body, the iden- tity was verified by Captain Wall of schooner Adelia T. Carleton and Green- law of schooner Ella May, both of Rockport, Me, who are harbored here. Captain Wall also identified one of the Bodies as that of Martin Lee, mate of the Dixon. Both men resided in Rock land and were unmarried.
 The one remaining unidentified is feet inches in height, brown hair and moustache and slender in frame. He was not heavily dressed as sailor ilav- ing on a light rubber coat and kid gloves, and it is thought likely he was the cook. The bodies are now in charge of an undertaken at Vineyard Haven and Medical Examiner Leach.
 The cause of the horrible accident will probably always remain mystery, but it is considered the most likely theory that the vessel struck on soma ledge at the entrance to the sound, such as Devils Bridge or Sow and Pigs ledge during the gale yesterday, and was dashed to pieces.

City Financiers Will Not Pay Commissions
 CT Johnson for Shoeing Horses.
 The weekly meeting of the board of finance was not held until last evening, There was then a stack of bills for the members to wade through.
 The bill of Commissioner Johnson for shoeing the city departments horses was not approved. MT. Johnsons bill is for $475O for work done since July IT, 1894, to the present time. MT. John son has been commissioner of the board of public works since 1893.
 From the tax collectors office came a. bill of $S36.71 for the city's portion of the expenses of that office.
 The bill included cose of telephone service, postage and office expenditures. Everything was proper and it was ap- proved.
 MT Futile and Tax Collector Anthony will appear at the next monthly meet ing of the board, at which the salary of the tax collector will be discussed. The city charter leaves this rather vague.
 The action of the board of public works in ignoring the request of the board of finance vexed the latter. A list of "all laborers who had been ern- ployed continuously by the city for one year or more was requested" The &C., ton of the road commissioners was conn., mented on severely by the financiers, but that was all, as no action was taken.
 The board of public works simply ta- bled the request of the board of finance.

 London, Feb. 7--The Daily News cor respondent in Constantinople sends this dispatch:
 The sultan recently ordered Prince Alexander Caratheodory, the celebrated Turkish publicist, to prepare project of reforms for Armenia. A draft of the scheme was submitted to his majesty. who regarded it as incomplete and in structed the prince to make it as final as possible.
 Editorially the News will say to-mor- row: It is welcome news that Ameri- cans are joining in the protest against Turkish misrule. Boston's exceedingly opportune appeal will doubtless strengthen the sultan's tardy resolution to make the reforms thorough
 A Vienna dispatch to the News says, A letter from Moosh received in Con- stantinople says that the sultan sent a commission of Erzinghian officials to Moosh prior to the arrival of the Arme- nian commission to inquire into the state of affairs. The guards at the palace twice drove away Armenians, bringing memorial to the commission, but the third time some members of the commission received the Armenians.
 The sultan's chief secretary, Houreya Pasha, recently died suddenly of heart disease in the sultan's presence, owing to the sultan's severely rebuking him for his over-hasty execution of his or der to telegraph Zeki Pasha to quell the Sassoun uprising. The scene occurred when the sultan learned of the ruthless manner in which the Armenian move ment had been repressed.
