Next the American liner Paris was sighted off the Highlands. Then the Anchor liner Anchoria, from Glasgow, was reported in quarantine. Two other steamers also came in the Clyde liner Algonquin and the Ward liner Macedonia. It is believed many steamers arrived outside the bar during the blizzard and stood off shore for plenty of sea room, and that they will reach port later. Among the liners due are La Bretagne, Gera and Cymric.

The steamer Catania, Captain Furlong, which left St. Michaels, where she had- put in for repairs, nineteen days ago, and about whose safety much anxiety was felt, also passed Sandy Hook, bound in, today. The blizzard has completely paralyzed shipping. The last vessel to arrive here was the Ward liner Cienfugos, from Cuba, which came up to her dock STILL ENGAGED IN INVESTIGATING CERTAIN MATTERS OF IMPORTANCE.

This is in a great measure due the ice-bound condition of the East river, which has made it impossible for several days, for the steamers of the Charities Department to make their accustomed trips to the City Cemetery on illart Island. No burials have taken place since last Tuesday, when the cof-lin-ladeu steamer made its last trip to tho Potter's Field. On Friday about 'forty bodies were placed on board the steamer Thomas S. Brenuan and Captain McCarthy made an attempt to land them at Hart's island. He succeeded in getting as far as Whitestone, where his further progress was stopped by pack ice, and he found it necessary to i return to the pier at the foot of East I Twenty-sixth street, where the bodies were unloaded and returned to the Morgue.

Another attempt wras made to reach the island on the following day, but again the steamer was forced to return 'and land her dismal freight. I There were in the Morgue on Sunday 'fifty-eight bodies awaiting burial, and his number was raised on Monday to eighty-two, of which forty-six were 'adults and the remainder children. I Not only have burials been absolutely suspended by the city auttiorities, but private undertakers generally have been compelled to decline to conduct funerals. In many instances, in order to comply with the regulations of the Health Department, undertakers have removed bodies from residences and placed them temporarily in their own establishments to await the moderation of the weather. Policeman Enters a House of Death, MARLBORO, Mass.

A policeman who went to a small house in the rear of a shoe factory Monday night, to in- vestigate a fire, found the house full of smoke. In a room off the kitchen four persons were lying on a mattress, which had been placed on the floor, all dead. In the kitchen three other persons were found insensible. The policeman on entering the house found a woman sitting beside a table. She did not speak.

The ollicer threw open the windows to clear the smoke. Then he perceived an elderly man lying on a lounge and a young man sitting in a chair beside a stove. The old man was aroused, but as he could not talk intelligently the officer went into the next room. On the iloor covering a mat- tress were four persons, and the officer found, as he stopped over them, that they W'ere all dead. All were partially undressed.

i In the kitchen was a small wood i stove, in which a fire was burning, but 'there was little wood in it. The unconscious persons were taken to the police 'station and physicians summoned, who Igave treatment to save the lives of the unfortunates. Later the four bodies-jwere taken to the morgue and the medical examiner began an inquiry to I determine the cause of death. McEnery Resolution Adopted. 1 WASHINGTON, Feb.

14 The Senate began its session at 11 o'clock today with nine Senators present. The chaplain was absent. Mr. Stewart of Nevada took the floor in opposition to the McEnery resolution and in favor of retaining the Philippines. Lindsay of Kentucky and Bacon of Georgia also opposed the McEnery resolution.

Later The McEnery resolution was carried by a vote of 20 to 22. No Wrecks Heard Of. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 Up to noon the life-saving station here had received no news of disasters to shipping. The superintendent said that the gale had been off shore and had blown the vessels out to sea.

He thought the loss to shipping, therefore, would not be heavy, though some craft may have foundered at sea. Ranch Sold SAN RAFAEL. The De Lacey dairy ranch of 1,600 acres, with improvements, near San Anselmo, was sold to A. R. Lee of San Francisco for It was owned by A.

P. Hotallng and Warren Dumon. early Sunday evening. At midnight last night the maritime lookout at Sandy Hook reported that a furious gale was coming out of the northwest, and that there was no cessa tion in the heavy fall of blinding snow. The weather was so thick that if any of the large fleet of passenger liners or other ocean steamers now several days overdue had succeeded in crawling up to an anchorage near the bar, they could not have been made out.

UNION SAVINGS BANK. Another Attachment Levied on the Property of H. Ward Wright. SAN JOSE, Feb. 14.

An attachment was levied today on more of II. Ward Wright's property in a suit brought by L. C. Fischer against II. Ward Wright et al, in which the plaintiff seeks to recover $2,257.

The property levied on is a ranch adjoining Forest Home near Alma. The residence property on North First street on which there is already an attachment levied a few days ago by a party in Tulare, was also attached by Fisher. An important transfer of a mortgage held by the Union Bank was sent to San Luis Obispo for record today. It is a mortgage from J. II.

Henry to James T. Murphy for $149,715. This, however, does not represent an important asset of the Union Bank. P. W.

Murphy owed the old Commercial Bank a good deal of money. He gave as security the ranch at San Luis Obispo known as the Santa Margarita ranch. When the Commercial Bank became involved Barney Murphy, it is understood, owed J. II. Henry some fifty thousand dollars.

In order to secure Henry, Barney Murphy gave him a second mortgage on the Santa Margarita ranch that had come into his possession, the Commercial Bank holding the first mortgage. In order to save the fifty thousand dollars he had loaned, it is understood, Henry was compelled to take up the first mortgage. This passed into the hands of the late James T. Murphy. He made arrangements to get a loan of some twelve thousand dollars from the Union Bank.

lie was to take the money on installments of a few hundred dollars a month, as he needed it. At the time of his death, a few months ago, he had only drawn a few thousand dollars. This is the history of the transaction, and the transfer of the mortgage is not as important as the amount seems. Dr. Jewell's Funeral.

PACIFIC GROVE. The obsequies of the Rev. Frank F. Jewell, were held in the Methodist Episcopal Church Monday under the auspices of the members of the California M. E.

Conference and Monterey Lodge of Masons. It was the largest funeral ever known in Monterey Co. At 2 P. M. the Masons performed a short service at the late residence of the deceased, after which they accom panied the casket to the church, where ceremonies were conducted by the ministers, eighteen of whom Drs.

Pack, Williams, Hopkins, Filben, Cross, Dille, 'Case, Stevens, Creassy, lleacock, Pet tis, Morse, Briggs, Bane, Blaud, Bovard, Trefren and Angwin were present and took part in the exercises. Dr. W.W. Case, presiding elder of San Francisco district, pronounced the eulogy, dwelling upon the power and perfection of the eminent man lying dead before him. The was followed by Drs.

H. B. Ilea-cask, Thomas Filben, E. R. Dille, 0.

M. Woodward and N. R. Peck. Several prominent church organizations attended the funeral in a body.

All schools and business houses were closed in respect for Dr. Jewell, and the offices of the Pacific Improvement Co. were draped in mourning. Stockton Mail: A case of smallpox, imported from New Mexico, has been found in Fresno. But the doctors have "no fear" that it will spread.
