Ice Jams Block Shipping Across New York Harbor
Severe cold left 22 degrees as 1,260 carts and 2,129 men cleared Manhattan and the Bronx while 1,255 men and 737 carts operated in Brooklyn. About 15,000 cartloads of snow were removed from Brooklyn streets. Ice slowed shipping with ferryboats stuck for hours and tugs fighting ice near the East and North Rivers. Mrs. Patrick Campbell urged the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to supply canvas bags of sand for drivers and donated $50 to the effort.

Insurance Firm Seeks Reopening Case of Edwards Death
New Haven February 7. A commission for the insurer that covered Charles A. Edwards of New York says death by own action is untenable and payment on the policy is made. Edward’s body was found in the Hiller house with blood traces, a pistol, and a laudanum bottle nearby. Doctor Wolff’s analysis supports murder theory, conflicting with Coroner Mix who held a self inflicted death in the yard.
