KXTEXT OF STORM Thre incnes of snnn- fell in Portland last night and the fall was Rnfral throughout the Columbia JUver Valley, Eastern Oregon and Southern Idaho. PROBABLE EFFECTS FresheU when the snow begins to melt are predicted and the. railroads, which have suffered prohabl- will trouble. heavily this Winter tiave more serious 1 FORECAST FOR TODAY AND TOMORP.OW- -Rain or snow with no material change in the temperature. The predicted cold wave probably will not reach Portland. Th cold wave that was bearing down on Portland yesterday afternoon has been headed. off. It crossed the Canadian bor der Friday night and reached Walla Walla, Wash., before its progress wa arrested. At that city the mercury fell :S degrees within a few hours and the maximum temperature yesterday was 1'i degrees above zero. A change in the atmospheric pressure stopped the progress of the cold wave and It wm with a light heart that Dis trict Forecaster Beals last night canceled his afternoon prediction of another cold snap for Portland and changed it to read: "Rain or snow with no marked change in temperature." Snow was still coming down last night, but a heavy fall Is not expected. The railroads were hit hard by the freshets of Thursday. General Manager J. P. O'Brien said yesterday that the. llarrimau lines in Oregon had suffered a l'ips of about $115,000 within the past week. The O. R. N. lost about J100.000 and the Southern Pacific about 15.000, according to the reports received by Mr. O'Brien. General Superintendent Buckley is go ing over the lines of the O.. R. & N. and directing the reconstruction work. The loss resulted from landslides and the carrying away of bridges bv swoolen streams. About 500 men are at work re pairing the Washington division, and ap proximately the same number are em ployed on the Oregon division. The lines have been opened and all trains are leaving Portland on schedule t'me. But most of the trains on the O. R. & NT. and Southern Pacific arriving in Tortland are hours late and the Northern Pacific trains, too. are behind time. The Northern Pacific tracks are open through to the East. The Harrirr.an lines have lost more through atorms and floods since October than during: the entire six year preceding. The O. R. &' X. has lost no less than tiOO.000 so far this Winter, and the Southern Pacific has suffered losses proportionately heavy. The heavy snow of last night, it Is believed, will add to the troubles of the railroads when the thaw comes. About three Inches of snow fell in Port land last night, the fall being the heaviest of the Winter. It was the second heavy snow storm of the season. The snow is melting slowly and as there are no immediate prospectsanf a higher tempera- lure it is thought that it will remain on the ground for severaj days. Sleighing was excellent late yesterday afternoon and night and the small boys hauled out their sleds once more. The snow will interfere with the re pairing of the electric wires which are down in and about Portland. Hundreds of linemen are making the repairs for the Portland Railway. Uight & Power Company and the Pacific States' Tele- GOLD I phone & TeleRraph Company, 'but they j are working under difficulties. Portland has experienced more unusual and severe weather this Winter than ever before in its history. The cold snap of two weeks ago was without precedent in recent years, as was also the "silver thaw." . The "silver thaw" was followed by heavy rain and the snow of last night was another surprise.

'JAMES TRACY DEAD Wound Received in Mysterious Stabbing Affray Fatal. CORONER HOLDS INQUEST Testimony Throws No Light on the Case Widow Tells Story of the Bloody Kncounter, Coldly and Dispassionately. That James Tracy came to his death at 3 o'clock yesterday morning at St. Vincent's Hospital from knife wounds in flicted by aiie of two unknown men early on th6 morning of December 26 at Four teenth and Glisan streets was the sub? stance of the verdict returned by a Coro ner's jury late yesterday afternoon, after 11 witnesses had testified at the inquest. Tracy, who died early yesterday morn ing, was chief freight checker for the Northern Pacific and-lived at 108 North Fourteenth street. There were no con flicts in the testimony of the 11 witnesses, and it was plainly shown that he and Mrs. Tracy and Mr. and Mrs. James Keegan had been to the Eagles' dance in Merrill's Hall Christmas night, and that they encountered two men at Four teenth and Giisan streets who insulted the women by crying. "Good-bye, girls; we ll Fee you tomorrow night. It was clearly proved bv the testimony that Keegan started the fight by attack ing one of the men. During the battle many blows were struck and after It was over it was found that Tracy and Keegan had been stabbed. Keegan's wound was slight, but Tracy's proved fatal after five weeks. Guy Henry, an eye-witness of the battle, testified that he called Dr. .John Ross to treat Tracy's wound the first night. To the physician the people refused to dis cuss the affair. The following day Dr. Louis Buck, took charge of the case. At the inquest he testified that Tracy s death was caused by infection in the lungs from the wound. He said he had never been able to secure a reliable account of the stabbing affray from Tracy. , John Lorlich, a brewery-wagon driver, testified that he and his wife had accom panied the Tracys and the Keegans as far as Fourteenth and Flanders streets, but left them there and went on home. He knew very little regarding the fight.. Mrs. J. E. Bbbert, of 504 Giisan, and Mrs. R. C. Sheldon, living at the same place, testified to having been awakened during the fight early in the morning of Decenfber 26. They watched the encoun ter from the windows of their lodgings. They could not see the faces of the par ticipants, but from words used they knew Tracy and Jveegan were two of the men, and knew that Mrs. Tracy and Mrs. Keegan were with them. Mrs. Tracy, who appeared cold and in different, gave her version of the fight and ended by saying she- hoped the guilty men would be arrested. Her story was that while going home with her husband and Mr. and Mrs. Keegan the two strange men called out Insulting -words to her and Mrs. Keegan, thus inciting Tracy and Keegan to combat. Keegan struck, the first blow, and the four men fought hard and fast. During the affray the stabbing occurrea. Mrs. Tracy, who before her marriage was a pianopiayer in a .North End saloon admitted that she had never notified the police, but said her brother did so. When Acting Detectives Mallett and Hill came. she admitted, they were treated as im postors and were as such ordered to leave the house. Captain of Detectives Bruin called the following morning and received like treat ment, he said. Keegan was called to the stand and told the story in every detail as Mrs. Tracy had told it. Mrs. Tracy is Mrs. Keegan's sister. Guy Henry corroborated the other witnesses. Acting Detective Mallett swore that he and Detective Hill went out to investigate the affair "and were practically Informed they, were not wanted in the house. They had no idea who stabbed Tracy. From the outset the case has been shrouded in mystary. The police were not notified until 12 hours after the affray and the first details were published in ) l ne uregonian or jjecemner JK. borne criticism Jias been made of the action of the police in the matter, but the evi dence at the inquest and admissions made by Mrs. Tracy herself upon the witness stand show that the officers had little to work on. The police know that one of Tracy's assailants was called "George" by his companion, and a hat and an umbrella belonging to the two men are In the hands of the detectives. These are prac tically all the clews the police have. NEW BOOKS AT? THE LIBRARY. IX THE circulating' room at the Ubrat-y Is a very attractive and timely bulletin for Saint Valentine's Day.

The new Municipal Court became an instrument ef mercy and a repairer of family relations rather than merely an avenue of punishment when Judge Cleland last night presided at one of the strangest- judicial sessions ever held in Chicago. The scene was the Maxwell-Street Court. The circumstance was the appearance of 51 husbands and wives mostly husbands who one or. two weeks ago had deserted or neglected their families and under bonds had awaited the Judge's decision. Of the 51 cases only one was deemed bad enough to warrant the sending of the offender to the Bridewell. In all the other cases the Judge ordered a parole and either suspended fines or simply ordered the penitent to return and re port to him in two weeks.
