MORE SNOW
IN NEW YORK
Army Of $4,000 Men Working Day and
Night Trying to Clear
Streets.

New York, Feb. l0.--With all but a
few of the city's principal thorough
fares still blocked by snow drifts sew
eral feet high, New York was hit again
to-day by another driving snowstorm.
Famed by strong southeast wind,
snow began falling at o'clock this
morning, and the weather man could
offer little hope of immediate let-up,
although there was a prospect that the
snow would change to rain during the
day.
An army of nearly $4,000 men has
been working day and night since last
Wednesday, but little headway has
been made except on the main arteries
of travel. Side streets were virtually
untouched Cross walks that had been
cleared over the weekend were again
ankle deep in snow this morning.
Most of Manhattan's third rail sur
face car system was still out OF com
mission to-day with channel rails
clogged with ice and snow. In some
sections hard packed snow more than
a foot thick covered the tracks. Slight
delays we're also noted on the steam
and electric lines entering the city.

in-Law, Fir = Miller
TIER
AZ JLTED WIFE
Well ngered at Abuse Of
Sister BEAT, Bruised and
Wounded" Miller

An lS-year- old lad, Raymond Wells
of Roxbury, is to-day awaiting hear
ing before Judge +. L. Scott on a
charge of intent to kill Frank Miller,
his brother in-law of Roxbury. Wells
was arrested yesterday in st. Alhans
by First Constable B. P. Blanchard of
Roxbury on a warrant issued by States
Attorney Z. r. Davis and was brought
to Barre and placed in Jail early this
morning having arrived here ON the
:05 train.
According to the warrant, Wells is
charged with having beat, bruised and
wounded Miller with club with intent
to kill and murder.
At the police station this morning,
where he lay on a bed in a cell, ap-
parently unconcerned about the mat
ter, he declared that he used no club
but struck Miller behind the ear with d
lead knuckle after Miller had struck
his sister in the mouth with his fist.
Wells also claimed that no club or lead
pipe was used on Miller. When asked
by the police where he got the knuckle,
he said he found it in Rutland.
Wells sister is but l6 years old and
was married to Miller about nine weeks
ago after two months courtship.
Miller, like Wells, has been employed
at the Vermont Marble quarries having
come from Philadelphia, Pa. Not until
Wells entered the home Saturday after
noon at 4:3O did he know that the
couple had quarreled, but after seeing
the blow delivered he Immediately set
about his task, striking Miller force
full blow, behind the ear that stunned
him for time and made a cut. BY
the police here it is understood that
Miller's head had been split open,
though the above story, given by Wells,
would hardly indicate it.
Wells went to st. Albans and it was
there he was found by Constable
Blanchard.
Wells viii be brought into court this
afternoon as soon as States Attorney
Davis returns from Montpelier.
