GLOUCESTER RECOVERING
But About $4,000 Damage Is Done in
City and Vicinity.

Gloucester Mass, Dec. 27.-This city.
the first to be heard from today after
being cut off from the rest of the world
yesterday by the storm, suffered as badly.
if not worse, than any other along the
north shore. Between the elements of fire
and storm it is estimated that the total
damage will be $4,000. Much apprehen-
sion is felt for the safety of the Glouces-
ter fishing fleet, which was off shore when
the blizzard began and had not been
heard from up to daybreak.
Crossed wires started fire on Rocky
Neck yesterday forenoon that destroyed
"A buildings and caused loss of $4,000.
Twelve of the buildings were owned by
the James II. Tarr Paint Co., Limited,
and the other two by Davis Brothers,
wholesale fish dealers.
The fire department could make but lit
tie Roadway in checking the flames and
was lucky to confine them to the burned
buildings The paint plant escaped in
jury, the buildings destroyed being used
for storage purposes and some 20 parties
suffered losses. Among them were Carle-
ton Fl. Parsons, who lost $17O0 motor
boat; Charles w. r. Nelson, owner Of the
Kansas City Star, who had new 100
horsepower engine valued at $1,000 in one
Ct the buildings, and several vessel own
ors A few fishing vessels tied up at
piers were slightly burned.
One little fishing knockabout the Fati-
ma, went ashore just inside of Ten Pound
island but was pulled off by tugs. She
vas full of water but is thought the dam
age will not be heavy. The schooner
Ralph Hall parted her anchor chains and
drifted down on an unknown three-mast-
er. If the latter's chains hold, both ves-
sells will be safe; if not. they will very
likely go ashore.
Not a piece of property on the water
front escaped damage. The water came
up under the wharves flooding salt sheds
and sheds where thousands Of dollars
worth of fish was stored. In some places
it rose as high as the street floors of
business blocks on streets bordering the
water front. Summer cottages were badly
damaged. The large bath houses at Mag
nolia were uplifted from the foundations
and twisted out of shape.

A CHANGE OF LAWYERS.
Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Mary Snead EN-
pIoy Another Attorney.

New York, Dec 27-Mrs. Caroline
B. Martin, mother of Mrs. Ocey
Snead, victim of the East Orange
bathtub tragedy, changed lawyers to-
day. 1t was announced that Colonel
Robert ]. Hare had withdrawn from
the defence of Mrs Martin and her sis
ter Mrs. Mary Snead, held here for ex-
tradition to New jersey on indictments
charging them with completely in
causing Ocey Snead's death. His place
was taken by Clark l.. Jordan, an as
sistant from whose office had a long
consultation with the two elderly wo-
men today
Mrs. Martin has an intention of re-
sisting extradition. Whether the change
of lawyers presaged new legal move
on the part Of Mrs. Martin or her sister
in this connection could not be learned
today.

Boston, Dec. 27.-From the amount
of wreckage on Hull beach, a portion
of which has been identified, there was
every reason to believe today that the
| five mastcd Boston schooner Davis
Palmer, which rounded Cape Cod late
Saturday night, was lost off the en-
trance of the harbor during yesterdays
storm with all on board, u men.
| The wreckage included the quarter
board with the vessels name, the top
Of the deckhouse and skylight, consid-
cradle furniture and other inside cab
| in fittings, deck planking and mast
hoops.
Not only was the wreckage found on
the beach, but a pilot boat, an inbound
coaster and fishing vessel all report
sighting wreckage from some large
schooner, drifting in the bay yester-
day afternoon and today.
A search was made of the lower har
Dor today by tug and q long sweep
taken from North Cohasset to Nahant
| but the hull or masts OF the Palmer
could not be seen.
The Davis Palmer in command of
capt. Leroy ~. MchoWn Oh Mdlueli'
| left Newport News Dec. y with 1000
| tons of coal for Boston.
| From the point at which the wreck
age was sighted, the fact that none
was found on Nantasket beach, it
was the opinion of the life savers at
Hull that if the Palmer was lost. it
was either by collision or striking one
of the outlying ledges at some point
northeast of the entrance of the har-
Dor.

IS hours yesterday, masses OF Iailen
poles and wires, washouts and big
snow drifts, with q coast strewn with
wreckage, and hundreds of small hous-
es overwhelmed or undermined, marred
the landscape today.
All three of the wire communicating
companies struggled hard today to
clear the tangle, but at noon the dis
trcts west of Brockton, including Bris-
tol, Plymouth and Barnstable counties,
as we'll as Southern Rhode Island, was
without direct service.
The railroads were more handicapped
by these broken wires than snow, al
though many switches were badly
blocked.
The Christmas blizzard, the severest
storm experienced in the East in 20
years, tied up local traffic Monday
morning in cities from Pennsylvania to
Maine and disarranged train schedules
Throughout half a dozen states. Con-
ditions, however, are rapidly improving,
and railroads and municipalities are
Monday bending every effort to move
intar-city and local traffic. There
is reason to believe conditions Will bo
normal again by Tuesday night. when
another storm is expected from the
west.
A number of persons have met their
death through eXposure-five in Phila-
delphia and dozen or more in New
York.
In Philadelphia general business
Monday morning is at a standstill. All
through trains We're late, only on
street car line was running and the city
, is suffering from u shortage of milk.
Reports from Pittsburg and Harris
burg indicate that conditions are i'm
proving rapidly
Washington did not suffer severely,
but on account Of traffic conditions to
the North President Taft decided to
postpone an engagement to speak in
| New York.
Communication with Boston is MAIN
tanned only with much difficulty. The
storm in New England seems to have
| been worse in the vicinity of New Bed
ford, Providence, Fall River, Newport,
Pawtucket and Woonsocket.
In New York city over 1000 men are
at work cleaning the streets. Most of
the suburban trains were running Mon
day morning with but slight delay. The
surface lines were blocked, a condition
that resulted in exceptional heavy traf-
tic on the subway.

OVER FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND VOTES IN
THE REPORTER CONTEST
Most Interesting Voting Contest Ever Held in
County Busy Day at Reporter Office

Buster hours were never seen at the
office of the Somerset Reporter than
those of Saturday afternoon last, the
attention of the entire office force be
ing required to attend to the friends
of the contestants in the Piano Con
test who came prepared to turn in
their last subscriptions and register
the votes for the candidates of their
choice. Quite a party of ladies and
gentlemen from Bingham, represent
ing the Grange of that town, were
present, and those interested in the
two leading candidates in Glass two
were in and out between the hours of
l and 4. 1t was jolly company as
we'll as an earnest one. The repre-
sentatiyes of the different candidates
greeted each other cordially, their
manner fully demonstrating to all
observers that while the contest had
been most spirited, and had been
waged with full determination to win,
everything had been done in a most
fair and friendly manner and no
feeling of bitterness was to remain
after the result was announced. The
polls closed at four o'clock and at
seven in the evening the bundle of
envelopes, containing over 100000
ballots, were turned over to Messrs.
Carleton P. Merrill, E. C. Butler and
S. H. Bradbury, who had been agreed
upon by the contestants as COM
