At Bourne the tide flooded the land bordering on the river front tO a great depth, and at Collins bridge It Was nearly a foot deep in the highway. The sea wall at Gray Gables held the rushing water back. Along the Monument beach shore the tide crept up to the summer houses.

The rain fell in torrents during the night and the highways in many places were rendered well-nigh impassable. the Discovery of California. 1 It was impossible to get along even with hip boots, and the boats bumped along until the water receded sufficiently to allow of their being eared for by those living along the shore. Many of the boats were badly injured. They had been hauled up between the cottages for the winter, and the the floated them away.

The surf was very high at this place. and had there been any wind to speak of to give it driving force about all the nieces along Short beach would have been wiped out. The waves went completely over the new pier of the Revere yacht club. The marsh between Orient Heights and Beachmont was flooded and the water meeting that from the ocean at Winthrop av caused the bluff at Winthrop to look like an island. A lobster car which has been anchored off the bluff for the past 10 years came ashore.

Continneti from the First cellars along the beach and harbor and Saugus river fronts were flooded. The turnpike leadin6e from this city to Boston was covered with water and for an hour, when the tide was at its highest, about noon, electric cars could not run. In the Camden st district alone the homes of 35 families and nearly 200 persons were flooded, and in this locality the water will remain until pumped out. It is impossible to estimate the amount of damage done at present. as in Camden, River, Canal and Cooper eta alone nearly every cellar was flooded with from one to four feet of water, and it will be days before the full damage is noticeable.

The streets were washed out, and it will cost the city a large sum to repair NVestern av near the Saugus river. The pumping station of the city on Camden st, where the sewage of the locality Is raised to a proper level to allow its discharge Into the main sewers, was submerged with three feet of water, and the motors and machinery were badly da maged. The Camden at residents were the worst sufferers. AL places the salt water flowed into the street to a depth of four feet, and boats were pressed Into service to remove the occupants of dwellings from thAr homes. In many cases the water reached the level of the first floors in the houses, although the houses are built considerably higher than the level of the street.

This street and the surrouniing thoroughfares, including Wards and Bates cts are built on low land, but little than high weter mark for the tides on Saugus river, and when the exceedingly high tide came along this morning the water overflowed and ran through the streets as if in a millrace. Through River and Canal sts the water poured Into Camden until It had reached a level of almost four feet. Fel-lees along the street were covered. and fire hydrants disappeared under a foot of Water. The people In this vicinity were taken completely by surprise, although the water had flooded the street many times before, but nothing has ever been done by the city government to raise the street or prevent needs.

It was about 10 o'clock that the residents noticed the water in the Saugus overflowing the banks and reaching places hitherto thought far above the tide. Still the water rose, and began to flow through yards into the streets. At 11.30 four feet of water was in Camden St. and it was still pouring in at one end and out the other. Many of the residents had gone to church In the early morning, and when 1 they returned they were unable to reach their homes until neighbors procured boats and rowed them to their houses, and in some places the water was so high that the boats floated above the tops of the fences.

In the cellars of the houses all sorts of articles were floating about. Lumber and old discarded pieces of furniture that had found a resting place in back yards floated away. The people climbed the second stories when the water began to reach the first floors and some were taken from the windows and removed to homes of friends. Several sick children were also taken out. In One house on this street three children are sick with diphtheria.

and at the present time there is nearly four feet of water in the cellar, and the house is completely surrounded with wate r. A scene seldom witnessed was enacted on Camden St about noon. One of the residents on the street owns a horse. and when the flood began he harnessed the animal to a wagon and took members of his family away. Later he returned.

and by this time the water had risen to its highest point. He drove the horse up to the front door. and the water was so deep that he was compelled to stand on the seat of the wagon, as It was higher than the box. How to get the animal unhitched was a problem quickly solved by a neighbor passing in a dory. He rowed up to the horse.

and, standing in the boat. unharnessed the animal and then lei the horse to the barn, a structure built on a knoll high above the surrounding land. The flooded houses will all suffer heavy loss, as it will be weeks before the (lamp Is dispelled, even after the water Is pumped but of the cellars. The owners and occupants of houses, with their families, whose homes were flooded. are: Camden stAndrew Cheever, George Barnes.

Besides the above on Camden there are two houses occupied by about 4i) Polanders. and in the Asa T. Newnail house on River st four families reside. Persons who lived in this locality for 50 years say that the tide has never risen so high before, and they never before witnessed what is called a mactien. The tide starter to go out, but in a few moments the current turned again and the water became higher than ever.

The entire stretch of marsh between Lynn and Revere was submerged with from three to 10 feet of water. As far as could be seen was nothing but water. and it is expected that at midnight tonight a recurrence of the flood will take place. The residents in the vicinity of the streets submerged are preparing to leave If the water comes too high. While the Camden st district in West Lynn was completely flooded the property at the foot of Commercial and Washington sts did not escape.

At the first location one of the tracks of the narrow gauge railroad was washed out and the inward track was used for all trains, the speed being slackened as the trains passed over the places where the outward bound tracks were washed out. The water rose up to the first floor of the West Lynn yacht club house and also covered the wharf of the Lynn gas and electric company. while at Washington St. near the Nahant hotel. two a half feet of water covered the street, flooding the vacant.

land in the vicinity. HIGH TIDE AT BOSTON. Wind Slew Great Guns, Kicked Up a Dangerous Sea and Flooded Wharves and Cellars. It blew great guns in Boston bay yesterda-y morning. accompanied by intermittent snow, kicking up a dangerous sea and making navigation extremely hazardous.

The gale was from the southeast, and it extended down through Vineyard sound and as far east as the Fenobscot river. No disasters were reported in this vicinity, but it is feared that vessels to the eastward in exposed positions may have suffered! frcm the storm. The Cunard freight steamer Carinthia, Copt Inman, from Liverpool, came into the bay Saturday evening and was boarded by pilot Joe Fawcett from pilot boat Columbia, 65 miles to the eastward of Boston light, but headed seaward again, owing to the thick snowstorm and came in the bay yesterday when it cleared. anchoring nelow Boston light in the afternoon, where she remained last nieht. She will come up to her berth this morning.

The steamship Ch.cago, Capt Hadaway, from Hull, Eng, and the German steamer Armenia, Capt Magin, from Hamburg, reached their respective wharves yesterday. The only other arrivals were the steamer Boston from Yarmouth and a few coastwise steamers. The surprising feature of the storm was the unusually high tide it caused. For seven years the tide had not reached such a mark in the local harbor as was recorded at noon yesterday. There was scarcly a wharf bordering on the water front but what was completely submerged at the noon hour, when the tide was at its bight.

Down at Battery wharf the water crept up to the furnaces in the engine room of the Baltimore' steamship company's building, and extinguished the tires. There was nearly two feet of water covering the piers at Hoosac docks, and the huge ocean liners loomed up high above the sheds, and apeared twice their usual size. On Lewis wharf a small dory was seen floating on top of the wharf. Here the water had flooded the wharf half way up to Atlantic ay. Vessels moored at the different wharves took every precaution to prevent possible damage, and fenders were run out and other means taken to hold them in position.

SevEral of the cellars along the avenue were inundated, and it is thought that much damage may have resulted. Even up on India at the basements of some of the buildings were flooded, the water gaining access through the traps and in other ways. STAB I BACK Twelve-Year-Old Colored Boy the Assailant. Charles Mots Aid 16; cl 149 Cambridie St the Victim. Affair Took Place at the Cliarlesbank.

How the Trouble Arose is Not Very Clear. Young Cousins Locked Up Wound May be Serious. Charles Abbot, a 16-year-old white boy who lives at 149 Cambridge st, was quite seriously stabbed by Wm. Cousins. 12- year-old colored playmate.

at the Charlesbank early last night Abbot's wound is in the back just be. low the left shoulder blade, and penetrated the lung. It was made with a Jackknife, the dos-tors at the Massachusetts general hospital state, but young "Coz," as the assailant is best known at the West end. says it was done with a piece of wire which he picked up from the street dur-- ing his quarrel with Abbot. He later threw it away.

he claimed. The wound, the doctors state. while not necessarily serious in itself, is a. dangerous one from the fact that in wounds of its kind, in addition to such an important organ as the lung being Injured, complications arise which may result fatally. In this instance pneumonia from the effects of the wound is what is most liable to result.

Just how the trouble occurred is not quite clear. "Coz" says Abbot kept calling him. "nigger," and when he expostulated Abbot took immediate exception and punched him for his temerity in claiming an equality with Abbot. He then, he claims, picked up a piece of wire, which was lying on the ground, and struck at Abbot. hitting him in the back.

Abbot says "Coz" and another colored boy were quarreling, and when "Cos" began to call the other objectionable names. he told him he should not do so. "Cos" resented his interference by hitting him in the back when it was turned. Immediately after the cutting "Coe' lied. He was later found in bed at his father's home, 3 Anderson pl.

After being questioned at station 3 It was thought advisable, owing to the nature of-Abbot's wound. to detain hins at the station l'zr the night. What had some effect in this decision, too, was the fact that Cousins has the appearance of being considerably beyond the tender age of 12, although his father states that he was born in the south December, 1SS5. Abbot was taken directly to the Massachusetts general hospital by others of the group of chums. two of the party supporting him while an ever-increasing gang of urchins acted as escort.

Railroad Tunnel Flooded Fires Extingu shed in Locomotive on a Boston TrainRailwav Plant Fires Out. sALEAr, Jan 23Not since the storm cf September, Mt, when Minot's light lighthouse was swept away, has the tide done so much damage to property in this city as was the case today. The loss is estimated at many thousands of dollars.

Many places.were inundated that had not been previously covered in the memory of the oldest inhabitants. The tide at 11 a overflowed the wharves and filled lands on North river and flooded the basements of many buildings. With a mighty rush tide water poured into the power house of the Lynn Boston street railway company on Mason st and covered the floor of the building to the depth of three feet. 7-13-111 LOOKING UP CAMDEN The fires beneath the boilers were extinguished and the plant rendered useless for several hours. All street cars on the Salem, Peabody, Marblehead, Danvers, Wenham and Hamilton divisions were stalled until power was supplied from the station in Lynn.

A steam fire engine was in constant strvice for Itt hours, pumping water out of the Salem station. The railroad tunnel was flooded to a greater nepth than ever before. Several trains were stalled at eaeh end of the tunnel, the engines being unable to pass through the subway. Tne tire under the locomotive attached to the 12.28 train for Boston was extinguished while passing througn the tunnel. On Bridge st, near the storage warehouse, the water was 18 inches deep.

The yards used by Gifford Bros for the storage of lumber were submerged. The fires beneath the boilers of the oil works were extinguished and heavy damage was done to the plant. Much of the oil in tanks was saved by pumping it into retorts. All of the cellars on Perkins. East Gardner, Congress, Pingree, Leavitt and Palmer sts were flooded.

Several French families residing in basements were removed to places of s3fety. These families suffer heavy losses on house furnishings. In the lower section of the city all of the wharves were submerged and all cellars on streets between the harbor front and Derby st were flooded. In all of the lower sections of the city people were engaged in riqnoving perishable articles to places of safety. The basement under the police station was filled with water.

also many of the cellars under the stores on the same thoroughfare. The lower part of Derby at was badly wa shed. The tide was so high in Danvers that it overflowed Spite bridge on Liberty st, and prevented the passage of teams anti electric cars. Early this forenoon a thdnderstorni prevailed in Danvers. and the lightning burned out several circuits of the fire ala rm.

NVith the indefinite information at rand individual losses by the tidal flood it is impossible to aggregate the loss. but it is conceded that it mast be heavy. WASHOUT AT REVERE. Streets Made, Cott3ges Damaged and Large Slices of Land Eaten Away. REVERE, Jan 23More damage was done by the high tide of this noon than by any ocean storm that has visited the town in the past 30 years.

The great hight the tide attained has never been equalled in the memory of most cf the townspeople. When the tide was at its bight there was a- large crowd gathered at Crescent beach and at Short beach in the Beachmont district to witness the work of the elements. The chief damage was over in the Eeachmont district, though no little injury was done toward the Point of Pines. As a result of the tido damage the Bog-ten Revere Beaeh 6r Lynn railroad could only use one rail from Lynn to Revere. The new state boulevard was partly submerged.

but to such a slight extent that the completed portion of it was peactically uninjured. This is an important fact in view of the comment made last summer ta the effect that the work of the commissioners would last only until the first winter storm caused the waves to rip it up and make chaos of the whole of the improvements. No tide has ever before touched the boulevard. and so far it has stood all the winter storms and is in as good condition today as when the workmen left it last summer. Toward the Point of Pines, or rather from Revere st to the Pines, the boulevard is under construction, and there the tide did considerable damage in washing away material, etc.

Just near the entrance to the Point of Pines the tide made a gully and crossed the street, flooding the road, and when the tide had receded it was found that the tracks of the Boston Lynn railroad had been covered by about two feet of beach sand, and that for quite a long stretch. At the same point some 150 or more of the sleepers left in the abandoned location of the railway were found to be torn up by the waves and to be floating about. They weee gathered in by the park pollee officers, under instructions from Chief West. The poles sunk in the sand last season for the erection of the canvas canopies for the covering of the children were uninjured. Over in the pier district the damage was quite heavy.

as the excessive tide enabled the waves to catch hold of some of the steps and piazzas of the cottages, and they carried away or damaged, sr as to be of little use. At the Seaside home on Levet-at av, near Short beach, there was a small landslide in which the town lost most of its sidewalk. Quite a large slice of it caved in and was washed away. Tonight the place is marked with a danger signal. A little further along the shore is the handsome cottage of Carl Soderstrong of Jamaica Plain.

The sea end of his extensive lot took a slide about midday and disappeared into the sea. The force of the waves had eaten the clay away, and a slice fully five feet deep and the entire width of his lot had gone. The sight at Short beach is worth seeing. The little cottages were used pretty roughly. of them were lifted from their foundations and moved several feet.

Some were twisted about. Many are without piazzas, and from the inside of some whole teamloads of rocks were taken out. The tide gullied between the cottages and flooded WInthrop av to the depth of over two feet. At times there were i if 4r A sv 1 II 114 7-, III 1111 1 A. .1 '1 .14,2: 4-tit it, ax 17:, 0.

If the unemployed of Boston could be furnished with portable suction pumps, and had the arm as well as the inclination to do the work, many of them could find very profltabb labor in pumping out the flooded cellars in Chelsea. East Boston and along the water front generally. The remarkably high tide of Sunday noon did great damage in Chelsea.

The whole territory south of Willow st as far up as Central av was flooded more or less. This has never happened before, as far as can be remembered, in i at I RIVER. the last 30 years. In some places the water reached a depth of two feet, and caused the stablemen in that vicinity to remove their horses to places of safety. Cellars Over this whole territory were flooded badly, and in many places furnaces were rendered useless by the water quenching the fires.

All the goods not securely stowed were floating about, and a great deal of damage was done to provisions left in the basements. All of the streets in this vicinity were practically impassable during the time the tide was at its highest. At the East Boston drawbridge the water was two feet over the wooden pier upon which the draw is built. The men at the bridge said it was the highest tide they could remember. Though the midnight tide would according to the tide schedule be 11 inches higher than that at midday, they said that the change in the wind would not allow it to reach a bight anywhere near that of noon.

In East Boston the tide was also said to be the highest for many years and few can remember a time when it has been so high. A great many cellars were flooded and not all of them were in the vicinity of the water front. In many places the land is low in that district and the tide reached a great many of the houses. flooding the cellars and doing- no little damage. The passengers on the ferry boats were enabled to get aboard by walking a long line of planks which were laic' from the head houses to the portions 43..

drops which were not submerged. As the tide rose more planks were put down, and at the extreme high tide there were four three-inch planks, one laid upon the other, to keep people's feet from the water. A good deal of loose material was floated oft from several of the wharves. IN BEACON ST CELLARS. Charles River Overflows and Causes Annoyance.

but Little Damage. Along the river side of Beacon at considerable inconvenience and annoyance. although no very great damage, resulted from the exceptionally high tide in the Charles, causing minature floods in the cellars of a half dozen or more residences. The water rose over the wall in places along Back st, and flowed in miniature Niagaras into the back yards of nearly all the houses. and in some instances managed to find a way into the cellars.

Nos. 150, 170, 270, 410. 414, 416. 450 and 470 were the places particularly affected. The surface of Back at was washed out in one or two spots.

VARIETY FOR PROVIDENCE. Blizzard, Snow, Rain and a Thunder Storm In One Day. PROVIDENCE, Jan 23--Blizzard like weather prevailed here last night and today, with live inches of snow, over an inch of rain. and just before noon 'there was a thunder shower, with lightning. The wind blew a gale tonight off the south shore and along Narragansett bay.

Steamer Pequot of the Providence freight line, to New York, arrived to- night 12 hours overdue. Thick fog, added to the inclement weather, detained her. Portion of Old State House Pell. PHILADELPHIA, Jan 23 With a deafening crash that was heard for squares a portion of the east wing of the old state house tell tonight. No harm was done to the historic building, as the arches that collapsed were not connected with it, a section of the wing next to the east wall of Independence hall having been torn out under the restoration plans now being carried out.

The accident was due to the exposed state of the building. The two wings had been torn down with the exception of the three arches on either side. The east wall of the east wing and the west wall of the west wing were left standing to their full hight, about 30 feet. Roads Under Water at Scituate. SCITUATE, Jan 23The heavy southeast storm of Saturday night kicked up a bad sea along the South shore.

and Sunday noon at high water it swept through every low place along the beach front. The tide was the highest for years. All roads from the village to the difff rent beaches were under water, also portions of Front st, flooding the wharves, but doing but little damage beyond washing the roads somewhat. Record Broaen at Gloucester. GLOUCESTER, Jan 23What is pronounced the highest tide of this generation prevailed here today.

Wharves which have been heretofore above the level of the highest tides were submerged several feet. and in many instances streets on the water front and in the suburbs were submerged, and cellars flooded.

Mr Cowdrey has been honored with several town tikes. and has always taken an active interest in the affairs of the town. asked several leaders when the strike would be declared off, and their answers were to the effect that perhaps after the spinners had kept the mills closed for a couple of months, the curtailment of the stock on hand caused thereby and the fear of losing the entire market would cause the manufacturers to yield.

There was an absence of radicalism among the delegates to the council, the strike being regarded as something of a friendly test of the strength of the two associations. The council adjourned after it was unanimously voted to let the 50-cent weekly assessment stand while the men at New Bedford were out on strike. The strike benefit of S4 weekly to mule spinners and weekly to back boys will therefore be paid as at present, and the treasuries of the local unions affected by the strike will meet other necessary expenses without drawing upon the reserve fund of the union. QUIET DAY AT NEW BEDFORD. Mass Meeting of Mill Operatives Will be Held at the South Park This Afternoon.

NEW BEDFORD, Jan 23Today ma been an exceedingly quiet one for the 9000 strikers, who have made the most of the day of rest. Sec Ross of the national mule spinners union, who returned from a meeting- of the executive council of the union in Boston today. said that nothing was done to interfere with the policy adopted at the last meeting of the executive committeeto confine the strike at one point as much as possible rather than making the strike general. It was decided to exempt the King Philip spinners from the levy imposed on all union members for the support of the strike in New Bedford, and the unions at Biddeford. Brunswick and Lewiston, where strikes are in peogress, were also exempted from the levy.

Mr Ross reports favorably on the pledges of assistance to the strikers from outside sources. He does not anticipate that the mills will attempt to start up for some time yet. So far as the attitude of the operatives and the manufacturers goes there Is no change in the situation. A mass meeting of operatives will be held at the South park tomorrow afternoon, the idea being to keep the operatives strong in their determination of resistance. There is no indication on the part of the weavers of giving in on the tines issue.

The committee of the strike council appointed to solicit funds for the aid of the strikers will begin their gathering of contributions this morning. and from the attitude of people generally toward the strikers there is reason to believe they will meet with a ready response. As an indication of the feeling Sec Ross received word Saturday from one shop in New Bedford that the employes there had agreed to contribute 5O weekly to the strikers while the trouble lasts. LA EEN CE MULE SPIN NE RS. Proposed Reduction Discussed and Cornmittee Named to Wait Upon Agents.

LAWRENCE, Jan 22Another meeting of the mule spinners union was held tonight. It was expected that ex Senator Howard of Fall River and some of the national officers would be present but they were prevented from 'coming because of a meeting of the executive committee of the national body in Boston today. The proposed reduction of wages was discussed by the members at considerable length and a committee was appointed to confer with the agents of the two mills which have announced cut-downs. This committee will report at meeting to be held during the week, and a general meeting will probably be held Saturday night, when action is likely to be taken. Lowell Mill Operative3 LOWELL, Mass, Jan 23One week ago the weavers of Lowell were practically without an organization.

Today there are more than 1000 names on their membership roll, with prospects for this number within a month. Such were the statements made at the meeting of the executive committee today. T. F. Connolly has issued a call to the NEW YORK, Jar.

23Joseph Miller of Lewistown, Penn, a young student at the New York trade school at 67th at and 1st av was shot dead tonight in one of the living rooms at the school by William H. Watson of Rochester. H. a fellOW student. Watson is a prietoner in the East 67th St police station and is nearly crazed as tne result of his act.

He declares that the shooting was accidental. The police have arrested William Youtzy of Lewistown, Penn, a student, who was the only witness of the affair. Youtzy was locked up because of his reticence when qttestioned by the authorities, and because what little he did say appears not to be borne out by some of the mute evidence in the room where the shooting occurred. Miller was 18 years old. He Was in the plumbing class, which he entered on Dec 8 at the opening of the term.

His father is said to be a prominent and well-to-do citizen of Lewistown, who tieeired that his son should know some practical trade. The young fellow had never been away from home until he came to New York to enter the trade school. On this account, and because be was a diligent, home-loving boy, his father came on to New York with him and remained with him for four weeks. Watson is 20 years old and is the son of a well to do farmer near Rochester, H. He was in the plumbing class with Miller.

Miller had occupied a room in the dormitory in the building in which there lived 50 other students. Watson had been boarding in 66th st, around the corner from the school. and went to lodge in the dormitory only a few days ago. He became a roommate of Youtzy, who had rooms on the ground floor. It was a small room and the two boys had planned to move in the morning to a larger room on the third floor.

Miller. Watson and Youtzy became great chums and were always together. They were out calling together this afternoon, and after ainner were all In Youtzy's room. John Devine, the night-watchman, was walking along the hall at 7.45 m. when ne heard the explosion of a revolver.

Then the door of the room where the boys were flew open and Miller fell out Into the hall. He was unconscious and rigid when Devine, who was only 15 feet away. reached his side. The sound of the shot and the fall of the body aroused all the students and they soon gathered about the unconscious form of their fellow. Police surgeon Gorman.

who lives in the block, was called. He said that Miller was dead. He had been shot through the right eye, and the bullet had penetrated his brain. When policeman Mangold reached the scene he fcund a number of the students trying to calm Watson, the New Hampshire boy, who was in a state of the wildest excitement. He was tearing his hair, sobbing and shrieking, "I did not mean it! I did not mean it! 0, what will mother do?" On the floor lay a revolver In which there was an empty shell.

On the bed were four cartridges. Watson was taken to the police station. When led before the sergeant he continued to cry out that he didn't mean to do it, and finally he fell to the floor in a swoon. He was placed in a chair and revived with water, and was able. to make a statement.

He said that In the afternoon he and Miller had called on Josephine Flaherty in 2d av, near 62d st, where also was Catherine Hallriegal of 308 East e6th St. After spending two hours with the young women, and declining an invitation to dinner, they left and went to Judson's restaurant in 3d av, near 66'th st, where they dined. They then went to the dormitory. Watson said he had received a revolver as a present, but not being accustomed to firearms had given the weapon to Youtzy for sale keeping. It had been lying on a washstand in Youtzy's room and the watchman had warned the boys that It must be put away.

Watson said he was going to Miller's room, but remembering that he had promised to put the revolver in the bottom of his trunk, he invited Miller into his room. He took the weapon and sat down on the bed. Then he emptied out the cartridges, all of them, as he thought. he said. Then, for tome reason that he cannot explain, he snapped the hammer.

Miller was standing near the door. As the shot was discharged he fell heavily against the door. which opened and allowed him to fall into the hall. Watson declared that there was no quarrel whatever, and that the matter was purely accidental. The police questioned the young women the boys had visited, arid they declared the afternoon had been entirely pleasant.

Youtzy could hardly be brought ta say a word. He said he was writing at a table and he did not hear what was being said by the other two. As there was a letter to Miller's father just begun lying on the table, the police and coroner Bausch decided that Miller had been sitting at the table and that the matter should be Investigated.

Continued from the First rage. substituted for mules in order to do away with men in the mill. Treas Tom O'Donnell, who made the report, stated that the impression was that the ring frames were put in as a result of the strike, but he claimed that as an order for ring frames must be given a long time in advance of their delivery.

it would be impossible for Treas Simeon Chase to get the frames that were delivered to the King Philip mills last week, if be had not placed order for them a long time before the strike was declared or the reduction notices even posted. Ring Frames vs Mules. In presenting the matter Mr O'Donnell stated that the treasurers of the mills knew that the same results could not be achieved on the ring frames as on the mules, but that as the purchaser of cotton cloth did net know the difference between good and bad cloth, the same price was received as it the product of the mills were first-class. He showed, however, where several mills, where the ring frame system had been adopted. had to suspend operations several times, because the cloth could not be sold in competition with the better grade of goods.

He further claimed that before long the consumers of cotton cloth would discover the fraud practiced upon them, and would refuse to purchase these goods. Continuing, he explained to the newer members of the council that the mill treasurers were -desirous of breaking up the association by dispensing with mules at any cost. because they would rather deal with children who operated the ring frames than with the full-grown men, who were necessary to the successful operation of the mules. Hon Robert Howard coincided with Trees O'Donnell, but stated that the more competent spinners were apt to be driven to other occuvations, thus leaving a smaller number to draw from the general fund in time of trouble. and as the funds of the organization grew their chances for being able to resist cut-downs would be considerably increased.

He was agreeably surprised. he said, with the response received from the assessment levy, and urged that every spinner now on strike in any part of New England he immediately placed on the strike benefit list. The delegate from Waterville. Me, reported that a 15 perecnt notice had been posted in the mule rooms of that city, and that -negotiations were now pending between the managers and the spinners' committee of that city. He wanted direct instructions from the executive council, and was unanimously directed to notify his associates in Waterville not to accept the reduction, but, it they thought conditions warranted, to compromise on a 10 percent cut until the New Bedford dritliculty was settled.

The Fall River representative reported that Treasurer Chase had entered into an agreement with Senator Howard over a year ago to pay the New Bedford scale, which was considerably higher on fine yarn than the Pall River rate. This agreement. he contended, was broken at the King Philip mill, and that the treasurer of the mdl was drawing upon the assessment upon Fall River cotton manufacturers' assoe'ation for the loss he was at present sestaining as a result of the strike of the srinners of that corporation- Action in Waterville. It was agreed that in localities where a strike was on the local branch of the organization should pay its members the regular strike benefit, and the unexpended balance was to be forwarded to the general secretary for the support of the 400 New Bedford spinners. It was voted that in the event of a failure of the negotiations at Waterville the secretary of the branch was to communicate with Sec Ross and a spe- cial meeting of the council would be called to take immediate action on the case.

During the entire debate it was evident that the COUnCil was preparing for a long struggle, and that the members had absolute confidence in their ability to pay strike benefits for an indefinite period. It was clear to the members or the council that the high dues paid by the union was the best investment that could be made, and would be the instrument through which the spinners woulki be able to achieve a victory. schedule has been askew, although the section crew has been able to keep the tracks clear between here and Camden. The high course of tides caused great alarm among the lime manufacturers, whose wharves were submerged this morning. Considerable kiln wood floated away.

As it is, the manufacturers are in suspense over the next high tide. The wind blows a hurricane from the northeast, and it is feared that the waters will reach a point where tire will result. The fire department is doing patrol duty. Thus far no marine disasters have been reported, and the captain of the Whitehead life saving station tonight assured The Globe correspondent that there was but little likelihood of trouble from that section, as most vessels had due warning and Sought safe harbors. MILWAUKEE IS SNOWBOUND.

Inches of Snow Have Fallen and Drifted So That Streets are Almost ImpassableTrains Delayed. MILWAUKEE, Jan 23The most severe blizzard which 'has visited this city in years continued in Its fury until 6 this morning. Snow to the depth of 12 inches has fallen, and with the wind blowing at the rate of 50 miles an hour great drifts utre formed in all parts of the city, making travel almost an impossibility. On several lines street railway traffic was at a standstill early in the night. and only the most important thoroughfares were kept open with the aid of p(merful sweepers until an hour before midnight, when there, too, were stalled, so rapidly did the snow drift.

Railroad trains came in very irregularly, and only passenger trains, each with the aid of several locomotives, attempted to get through, those carrying freight being abandoned. Every telegraph wire in the state was crippled, and news from the Outside world was received over the long-distance telephone wire. None of the boats of the different lines Milwaukee ventured out last night. So far as known no mishaps in the line of navigation are known to have occurred. from railway offices tonight are that all the lines have been cleared of the big snow drifts, and trains of all kinds are running on time, but the street railway in this city is still somewhat crippled.

WHARVES WASHLD OUT. Severe Damage When the Ocean Invaded Commercial St. Portland. PORTLAND. Jan 23There was a very high tide today.

making things lively for captains of schooners. Many were sent adrift, and others were more or less damaged by being carried against the docks. The tide was almost even with Commercial st, and nearly covered the railroad bridge between Portland and Eagenia. Many of the wharves were washed and cellars of stores were tilled with water. This very high tide indicated a fearful storm at sea, and was higher than for months past.

The schodner St Thomas was in an exposed position, and was badly damaged by contact with the timbers of a wharf. The water from the ocean put out the fires in the engine room of the Galt block on Commercial at, something unknown before. The ocean invaded the freight shed of the New York steamers. and made things lively for a while. The three drops were lifted from their hinges, and one of them was badly smashed.

The water passed directly through the building. going out on the Commercial st side. The schooner J. W. Chase went on the wave from the lovfer to the upper harbor, and narrowly escaped wreck.

The tide did considerable damage on Long wharf. Ice from the ocean was carried over the wharf, and the plank walk was torn up in every direction. A man who was in a canning factory said the floor suddenly rose up four inches. and then the water rushed in through the doors. It is feared that very serious damage was done to goods stored in the buildings along this wharf.
