NETV YORK, March 4.?As a result >f a March bllzzard whlch swept down unannounced during the nlght, tho Uldclle Atlantic seaboard from New 1'orW to N'orfolk found itself to-day uurled in an avaiancho of snow and iwept by destructlve winds. For a tlmo here to-day conditions seemed to threaten a repetitlon of the great bllzzard of March :::, 1SSS, but to rilght the storm sunk to less alarmlng proportions. For tho telephone and telegraph :ompanIes the storm wai one of the tvor.s-t in years. The worst of the snow INAUGURAL CROWDS BEGIN TO RETURN AT MIDNIGHT yi Southbound Trains Tied Up Many Hours by Blizzard and Congestion at New Unio'n Station at Wash irigton.?Telegraph and TelephoneWiresDown. Congestlon of tralns ln tho new Jnlon Statlon at Washlngton, to jetlier wlth the terrlblc bllzzard whlch swept over the East from Richmond ;o New York durlng the past thirty, ilx hours, resulted ln the complete tt'e-up for many hours yesterday of all iOUthbound tralns on the Richmond, Froderlcksburg and Potomac Rallroad. Felegraph and tolephono wires from Washlngton to New York were down ind "lost" tralns were frequently re jiortod. This condition resulted In the delay of all southbound tralns ln arrlvlng at Washlngton, and tho con? gestlon there caused delaya In getting them out from Ihe Unlon Statlon for Richmond and the South. And thcro were more delaya after the tralns pull ed out from Washington, for, wlth Its telegraph servico complotely crlppled by the bllzzard, tho Richmond, Fre'd crlcksburg and Potomac had great dlf? flculty ln luindllng the trains. Several were "lost" in the after? noon. and tho others had to be held up at Alexandria untll these could be "found" agaln. Mni- Houra Late. The first train to arrlve here from Washlngton durlng tlio day pulled into tlie Klba statlon about 5 o'clock. This was due at 7:50 o'clock ln the mornlng, and brought all of tho New York, Phltadelphia, Wtlmlngton, Baltlmoro and Washlngton mail. A local train cumo ln a shefrt whlle later. Both of thoso tralns left Washlngton shortly after noon. The next train to arrlve was tho Atlanllc Coast Llne West Indian Llmlted, due al 7;20 P. M., whlch tiirao in at lfliHO P. M. In the three day coaclics attaclted were about 200 Rich? mond people wlio attenttod tho Inaugu? ration. They were tho flrst to return home. The excurslon train, whlch left for AVasTilngton at t!:45 o'clock yes? terday mornlng, returned about 11:45 o'clock last nlght, every one of tho ton coaches belng pucked to the llnilt of the slandltig room. More than 2,000 Rlchmondera went to Washlngton, and many of these probably wlll not re? turn untll to-night. Tho Richmond, Frcderlcksburg and Potomac was unabie to malntalu any. klnd of a schedule, Kxtra trains will be run down from'Washlngton to-day About a scoro of men of the local battalion of the Fli-Bt Vlrginla Regl ment. and the Richmond Blues re? turned on tho two tralns last night.

In New York harbor barges under tow were blown ashore, ?whlle tugs and small boats went scurrylng for cover. Between Baltlmore and Washington hundreds of telegraph poles were car? rled down by the welght of snow and ice and the wind.

Accordlng to Richmond people, the nandsome new termlnal statlon in Washlngton, which was expeeted to imply provlde for the increased traf :1c, proved entirely Inadequatc. Hundreds of tralns from all sections of tho country were tled up there throughout tlie day, and great dlffi culty was experienced In getting the outbound tralns made up and In trans ferring the southbound und northbound through tralns. This condition was responslble for much of the dclay of tlie southbound niall and limited train:--. Tho train brlnglng Lew Dockstader and his mlnstrels from Wilmlngton to Richmond was delayed thero several hours. and the company dld not get here until u o'clock ln tho afternoon, and the matlnee performanco was not glven. The Richmond, Frcderlcksburg and Potomac experienced most of the trouble wltli Its telegraph wires be? tween Prederlcksburg and Alexandrla. The wires wero down for many hours, and tho greatest cautlon had to be taken In runnlng tralns out from Alexandrla. In tho afternoon telephone communicatlon was secured between most of the statlons along the llne, and the train orders were sent over tlio 'phone. Tjlnemen are at work repairlng the wires. and the company oxpects to be able to establlsii telegrapliic communi? catlon between all of tho stations to day. Until that Is dono the trains cannot be run on schedule. Itu.-tli to Get Awuy.

PAID ON SAVINGS ACCOUNTS Postal Company was not so fortunate. Both oC the companles handled meas ages t'or tho North throughout tho day. Thclr Southern and Western and somo of the Northern wires were in good condition, ar.d the messages wore sent in a roundabout way. . The Postal handled New York and Boston buslness via Blrmlngham, Ala.. and Chlcago, whlle the Western Unioii handled lt via Clncinnatl and Phlla delphla. All, except ono of the prlvate wires to tlie brokerago offlces in this clty, were carried away in the storm, and tlie tlckers were sllent throughout the day. No New York market rcports could bo recelved. Liuemen are out repalring all of the damaged wires, but some dlfflculty Is being experienced In flndlng all ot the troubles, and lt probably wlll be several days before the telegraph ser vlce between Rlclimond and the North is in riorma! condition agaln.

Donahue, of the Lexlngton Hotel, was one of those who took time by tho forolock and went to Balti niore Wednesday ln order to avold the crowd and bc in touch wlth the capltal clty on tho day of the Inauguration. But, ho says, he made the mtstake of liis life. The storm there was worso than here, which is sliown by the fact that it took flve hours to make the trlp from Baltimore to Washlng? ton, tho train pli-klng its way from station to statlon without tlio ald of telegraph wires, which had been wrecked durlng the night's storm. Like the j others, Mr. Donahue re ported a most disconsolate condition of affalrs on his arrlval ln Washlng? ton. Thousands of people took refuge ln the Unlon Statlon. Mr. Oonahuo was partlcularly pleased with the showlng niude in the grand parade by the Richmond Light Infantrv Blues.
