west. The storm which developed in
the gulf region Saturday night, moved
IN northerly direction. Another storm
started on the Canada coast and met
the one from the south over this city.
Inc temperature is not so low as it
has been, but the wind, which sends
the binding snow into great drifts
along the thoroughfares, makes UP for
it.
At no time since midnight Sunday night
has the thermometer risen above de-
grees above zero. Drifts are piled up
IN the streets to a depth of four feet,
andythe present weather conditions in
dictate that they will be much deeper
tomorrow morning. Excavations in the
streets are filled to the street level,
forming dangerous pitfalls for We
hicles.
The ferry traffic to New Jersey, Long
Island and Staten Island Is uncertain.
Both the North and East rivers are
filled with floating ice and navigation
becomes hourly more difficult. The big
Brooklyn bridge is taxed to the utmost
by the traffic from the ferries. The
bridge trains are packed like herring
cans. The bridge is 20 inches higher in
the centre than the normal ON account
Of the contraction of the iron and steel
work.
The elevated railroads thus far have
maintained a fairly good service. The
trains are damned with people, as this
is the only sure means of transportation
lteft IN the city. The streets are desert
| ed. The horseless cab was in great de-
nand and COPIED fairly with the biz
Yard.
BY order OF Theodore Roosevelt, all
the armories in the city, excepting the
Seventh regiment armory, were thrown
open to the homeless poor tonight
Chief of Police Deverin tonight is
sued an order to the captains of the
various precincts in Greater New York,
to give shelter in station houses to all
who applied for it and to afford gen
eral assistance to destitute persons.
He also impressed upon his subordi-
mates the necessity Of using extreme
vigilance in the matter of keeping fire
plugs free from snow, in order to ac-
celerate the movements of the fire de-
partment. The charitable societies
were busy throughout the day in car
ing for the needy of the city. The Sal
walton Army, too, exerted itself in
caring for the poor. There We're also
many instances where pr nv tie persons
made donations to alleviate the suffer

A BRUTAL CRIME.
Amos Palmer of Edgewood, R. L, Charged
With Killing His Wife.


Providence, Feb 13.-Amos Palmer, a.
wealthy young man of Edgewood near
this city, has been arrested, charged
with killing his wife. The tragedy took
place about 11.30 o'clock Sunday night
1t is alleged that her husband fired five
shots az her, four of which took effect
in the region of the heart and the
other in the arm.
Palmer, when arrested by the officers,
said he had been suffering from the
grip. He was arraigned in the Knight
vile court, charged with murder this
forenoon. He pleaded not guilty and
was held without bail for the March
grand jury
Mrs. Palmer was Addie Nutter, for
merly a resident of New Hampshire
She married tDollie' Bliss, boot and
shoe dealer of this city. Bliss got a
divorce from her because of her inn
moral life, and then young Palmer, the
only son of Mrs. Annita Palmer, who
had a great deal of wealth, took her
up and cared for her until his mother
died, and a few days later he married
her.
Paimer's action at the time caused
considerable comment, although he
was known as a lively young fellow
who spent his money chiefly in having
a good time. The married life of the
couple, as far as appeared on the sur
face, was happy.
The Palmer homestead was on Broad
Street; it is now the site of the Prov
idence Athletic. Club house The young
people built a $4,000 house farther out,
on Broad street, which, two years ago,
they sold for about half it's cost. Then
they erected far more beautiful house
in Edgewood, where their gilded mar
ried life came to an end. OF the social
side of last nights event the servants
say that Mr.. Palmer was well intoxi-
Gated. After the friends left, both the
host and hostess had lunch and then
retired to their room. A servant in
room overhead says she heard the cou
pie laughing and talking, and then
came pounding noise.
She then heard Mr.. Palmer call her,
saying, II think I've killed her" She
was met at the foot of the stairs by
Palmer, who said: "She is in there"
pointing to his room, and I've killed
her. Oh, God, I have killed her. I've
murderer. oh, what have I done?
Just think, Mary, I've killed my wife"
The girl found the body of her mis-
tress lying on the floor With her head
resting on a hassock. She did not
touch the body, but at once went for
the coachman, who was nearby She
told him what had happened and he
came to the house AT once. When
he arrived he found Mr.. Palmer evil
IDENTIFY crazed and with pistol in his
hand intent apparently on taking his
own life. There was a struggle be-
tween the two men. Palmer was twice
disarmed of the revolver and then he
Gained down and rang for a surgeon.

IMMENSE VELOCITY.
Observer Knowles Says the Wind Blew al
the Rate Of IL Miles an Hour.

Observer Knowles Says the Wind Blew al
the Rate Of II Miles an Hour.
At 6 o'clock last evening the wind
reached its highest velocity and, ac-
cording to the local observer, r. r.
Knowles it was then blowing at the
rate of IL miles an hour.
The thermometer climbed up to tn
degrees above zero at 6. 50 o'clock, and
from that hour until O'clock the snow
was twirled and blown into drifts from
three to six feet high in the central
portion OF the city, and 1t was almost
an impossLbility for people to walk
any distance in a northerly or north
easterly direction. Trolley cars on
Main street did not attempt to carry
passengers between and O'clock,
but they ram from Lincoln square to
Webster square at short intervals and
succeeded in keeping that thoroughfare
in such condition that it will
take the plows and sweepers but a
short time to open the line entirely as
soon as the snow has ceased to fall.
Shortly before o'clock the wind died
out almost entirely and for nearly
+.hree- quarters of an hour no snow fell,
but at 10 o'clock the wind veered round
to the north and the gale brought with
1t another big fall Of snow. The flakes
were nearly as large as goose feathers
and were very heavy, and they in
creased the size Of the drifts to con-
siderable extent
