THE GREAT STORM.
LOCKED IN THE ARMS OF THE
ICE KING.
The North Treated to a Blizzard of the
Genuine Western Style Great Suf
fering and Loss of Life Business
Paralyzed, &c, &c.
New Yorlc awoke yesterday after a
day and night of most wonderful ex.
periences and peeped timidly out of
the window to see if it had gone. It
had, but there remained a great deal
to remember it by. The principal and
most tangible token was snow. Snow
was every wheie and in greater quanti
ties than ever was known here. The
wind had heaped it up into great
mounds, as a giant would, and then as
an aitist would, it had taken little par.
tides and formed them into fantastic
sh&pes. The streets were filled with it,
and house fronts were plastered with it.
Then New York pulled itself to
gether and ruminated about how to
get rid of this memento. Desirable it
might be in some localities, but the
metropolis does not care for it. As a
result, towards nightfall little mounds
began to make their appearance in a
great many streets. These were not
the work of giants, but of ordinary hu
man beings, chiefly Italians. It was
the first step toward bringing the city
back to its normal condition.
With this end in view other agencies
got to work. Very early in the morn
ing steam began to puff from elevated
railroad engines, and trains began to
appear. They were not such big trains
as usual, nor did they travel so fast.
There was caution in their movements,
born of the experience of the day be
fore. But they availed to carry pas
sengers, and everybody was able to
go where they wanted to.
There were many signs to indicate
what devastation can be produced in
oDe day. One of these was the diffi
culty with which those prime and lore
most articles of necessity, food and
fuel, were procured. In a great many
instances the difficulty could not be
overcome and many poor people had
to rely on scanty stores. There was an
incipient famine in mat, milk and
coal.
Not one street car turned out for
traffic in the city yesterday. Such an
event has never happerfd before in the
memory of the oldest car driver or
conductor. By some means the com
panies have always before managed to
run a few cars during the worst storms,
but the bluxard on Monday paralyzed
them all.
The second day ol the great storm,
although less severe than the first, was
even more terrible through the prolon
gation of inconvenience, the gradual
diminution of necessary supplies and
revelations, of the damage the tempest
has done. - Paris, encircled by the
German hosts, was scarcely more com
pletely isolated from the outtr world
than New York and its suburbs are .to
day. Within twelve miles of this city
7
there are trains full of teoDle imoris-
i r j j
oncd in the snow, cut off from food er
fuel and suffering what miseries we do
not know. We can only hope that
their tribulations may be light. We
cannot send aid to them, any more
than the roads on which they are
blocked can bring supplies to us.
Within the town well-known citizens
are found dead in snow drifts almost
at the threshold of their comfortable
homes, and to go from domicile to of
fice or workshop is still a task which
the majority dare not attempt. May
another day bring complete deliver
ance from this great calamity, the loss
by which to New York and the region
afflicted like the metropolis is not to
be measured by money, no matter to
how many millions we advaneed the
estimate.
BLIZZARD PRICES FOR COAL.
Blizzards come but seldom, nor lin
ger long. Should this one continue,
however, for any lengthened period,
more prayers will b said for the clerk
of the weather jjsan were ever before
offered up for the welfare of that in
dividual. While all New York is pray
ing a it never prayed before for the
Western visitor to take itself back to
its more congenial climate, there are
a large number of individuals wh
pray that he may remain. These last
are the coal dealers.
Despite the railroad strikes the price
cf black diamonds had not increased
to any great extent. When, however,
on Monday morning the coal dealer
awoke and taw the city enveloped
from North to South and from East to
West in a snowy blanket, he thought
the day for reaping his harvest had
come, Away up in the browestone
houses and ia the cellars of the wealthy
and middle classes no fears of a coal
famine were experienced. But in the
homes of the poor it was different.
Those who depend for their dailv so-
j tenance on their weekly wasres. who
I .. . . o '
live from nana to mouth, with nerer
enough coal to last for four and twen
ty hours, felt the blizzard in all its
force.
The hours lengthened and the light
of day gave way to the. darkness of
night without the customary retailer
going to his daily rounds. - It is on
these retail dealers that the mass of
the wage-earners depend for their fuel.
and when these dealers- come nM. their
fears increased and the. prospect of a
coal famine presented itself, with all
its disagreeable possibilities. Hun
dreds of them were yesterday search
ing the city in every direction for
even a scuttle of coal. In a few in
stances they obtained it, but at a fig
ure that put the oft-spoken-of war
prices into the shade.
Owing to the magnitude of the
storm, as told in the Star of yesterday,
no coal could be served to the retailer.
Few ot the coal yards had a large sup
ply on hand, and none can be ob
tained for many days to come. When
the present orders are filled fuel can
not be obtained sit any price.
restaurants run short of coal.
In most of the downtown restaurants
the effect has been already experienced,
and a number of them have ben
closed and will remain so while the
blizzard lasts. It was nothing unusual
yesterday to see the sign "Closed" on
the doors of downtown lunch places.
From Fourteenth street up the sup
ply even among the retailers is be
coming remarkably scarce and no one
appears to know where to obtain it.
The Astor House has not got sufficient
coal to last until Monday. There is a
large consignment at the dock waiting
for this popular hotel, but there is no
means of unloading.
The New York Steam Heating Com
pany consumes over 400 tons per day
and supplies a number- of customers.
At a late hour last night they had
scarcely enough to last over to-morrow,
and predictions were made that if the
blizzard lasted a number of large
houses vould be without heat.
In the poorer localities, however,
the effect was more apparent. The
dealers in almost every instance took
advantage of the situation to advance
prices, and demanded as much as 35
and 40 and even 50 cents a bushel,
when the cost to them was only 10
cents. Few were able to pay such a
sum, and they were obliged to return
to their cheerless homes and try and
preserve the already dying embers.
In many cases investigation found
whole families sitting huddled together
in one room without a spark of fire.
The windows rattled unceasingly,
while the wind hqwjed di'raally with
out. SUFFERING IN TENEMENTS.
In one tenement in Houston street
sixteen families were found, and cloven
of that number had no means of pro
viding fuel. In all of the rooms the
supply had given out at early morn
and nothing remained to help out the
chill. Whatever wood had been lying
around was used up to supply the place
of coal. This, however, soon burned
oqt, and when the blaze had died
away the rooms looked more cheerless
than before.
Money was not the difficulty.. AU
along Houston street an4 m all the
side streets on the East side, dozens of
women armed with pails were stapding
in line opposite the stores of retailers
demanding coal. The dealers, accord
ing as the crowd was augmented, raised
the price. It started at 35 cents in a
number of stores, and never stopped
going up until 50 cents was demanded.
Many of the poor women did not pos
sess so much. They returned to their
cheerless homes wringing their hands
and crying piteously.
Such a sight was common all over
the city. Away over on Seventh ave
nue at Thirty-second street a solitary
coal wagon was seen by some womenH
It was eagerly surrounded, and, inside
of twenty minutes the entire cargo had
been sold off. The women who were
fortunate enough to obtain it, even at
a greatly anvanced price were happy.
STARVING ON THE BLOCKED TRAINS.
Thirity-eight trains in all lie snow
bound between the Grand Central de
pot and Tarrytown. There may be a
few more or less, but the telegraphic
facilities are so poor that it is impos
sible to get definite information, the
worst of the blockades being on Man
hattan Island, a solid ten foot drift
extending from Ninety-fourth street to
125th street. TJie snow lies principally
upon the incoming racks, the out
going rails being burieii nder only
three or four feet of snow.
One engine was able yseray 0
get as far North as Mott Haven. On
it were Superintendent Toucey and
Depot Master Franklin. They were
out to personally view the situation,
fhey had not heeg able to get back
at a late hour fast night, their engine
getting stuck at Mott Haven. It is
Jfhe intention of the New York Central
officials to se&cj put emrrty cars, to re-
ieve the distressed trains and brincr in
the belated passengers. .
Three thousand laborers were at
work at the drift yesterday. Five hun
dred of these were working in the
orand Central despot yards, the rest
beine; sent to the north end of the tun
nel. By their combined efforts the
snow was cleared from the.tracks up to
xootn street. stimcicnUjr to permit ot
trains passing. There still remains,
Jiowever, the pile of snow lying be.
tween that point and 12 ah street to
be shoveled out, besides a number of
small drifts in cuts further North. A
great many passeneers from the snow
bound trains got to town on the ele
vated roads, and by means of sleighs
and other conveyances during the day,
but a number of women are still aboard
the trains.
The New York and Harlem and the
New York and New Haven roads are
blockaded likewise, they using the
same tracks to the Harlem River that
the New York Central do. A heavv
drift near Tremont is a further bar
rier against traffic on the New Haven
road. Superintendent Scofield of that
line believes that trains can be run on
the sinjrle outeoinc track this mornintr.
and it is likely that the worst will then
De over.
SLEEPING IN THE D.EPOT.
The big depot was ket open all
Monday night for the accommodation
of would-be passengers unable to get
transportation. Many women hud
dled together as best : they could upon
the benches, and in some cases slept
upon the floor. The men paised the
Bight playing poker and made the
best of it that they could under the
circumstances. The railroad people
say that the situation would not be so
bad if the engines could get fuel and
water. They know that many were
stalled on this account, and passen
gers are said to have shoveled snow
upon the engines that it might be
melted into water and used in the
boilers; Fence rails also are said to
have been tern . down . to keep up the
fires.
NO TRAINS ON THE PENNSYLVANIA.
On the Pennsylvania road no at
tempt to run a train was made yester
day, but much work was done toward
getting the lines clear. Tbe company
did not devote all its time to this
work, for at daybreak the officials be
gan the arduous task of relieving the
passengers in the snowbound trains.
The first train reached was the Newark
local, which had been stranded in the
cut since noon the previous day. The
half famished passengers, all of whom
had suffered most intensely from the
cold, were provided with hot coffee
and sandwiches and were made com
fortable until it was possible to run the
cars back to the station at the foot of
Montgomery street, Jersey City, when
they showed a willingness to take care
of themselves,
The next task before the company
was to get relief to the passengers on
the Chicago Limited, which left Jer
sey City at 9:15 o'clock Monday
morning, and four hours later was fast
in a huge snowdrift in the meadows, a j
few miles this side of Harrison. This
feat was accomplished after a great
deal ot perseverance, which served to
overcome the seemingly insurmount
ablt difficulties that cropped up every,
where in the path. A passenger car,
drawn by three engines and pushed by
three others, left the station shortly
after 8 o'clock and began the trip. It
took many hours to " accomplish the
journey, but finally the Chicago train
was reached and the passengers pro
vided tor. They had pot suffered very
greatly, for the train, being first-class,
was made up of vestibule cars and had
plenty of provisions and fuel.
THE EXODUS TO FLORIDA CHECKED.
The Pennsylvania station presented
an animated scene yesterday morning.
It was the time fixed for the departure
of the special Florida excursion train,
and hundreds of people from all parts
of the Eastern States and New York
had gathered there only to find that
no train could leave. Those who had
come from a distance made themselves
at home in the station, and prepared
to pass a merry time until their train
could go.
There were no trains - run on the
Erie Railroad yesterdy, either in or
out, and all the company's employees
were at work clearing the tracks. The.
officers reports that the passengers on
all stalled trains are being taken care
of, and it requires much labor to reach
them.
No trains were run on the Delaware,
Lackawahno and Western, the. Weat
shore, New York, Susquehanna and
Wettern, New Yrk and New Jersey,
New York and Greenwood Lake or
the Northe Railroad of New Jersey
yesterday. All the lines were com
pletely snowed UTitier an lt a not
thought thai' of them will be
cleared, even for local traff c tbre
to-oaorrow or Fridf y.
SEVENTEEN WEST SHORE TRAINS DELVED.
The to o'clock train on the West
Shore road due at Weehawken Mon
day night was so delayed that it did
not arrive until last night. It was
blockaded on the other side of the On
tario Tunnel, about thrity miles up the
river. .
Not a single train has left outward
bound orTthis road, and' great efforts
are being made to reach the snow,
bound trains between here and Pough
keepsie. Telegraphic communication
is completely destroyed and little
liopes are entertained of reaching the
blocked trains for several days, unless
favorable weather enables them to push
through.
Seventeen traia are overdue, all of
which are supposed to be located about
thirty miles up the river. Coal and
milk trains are among the number de
layed, and the loss will be something
enormous.
TOWNS ALL OVER THE STATE PARA
LYZED BY THE BLIZZARD'S ICY GRIP.
Albany, March 13. The storm
which set in on Sunday was still raging
at noon to-day. Its equal has never
been seen in this vicinity. The streets
are completely blocked and it is im
possible for teams to get through.
Pedestrians experience great difficulty
in getting down town and only those
who are compelled to be at their places
of business are seen out doors. The
snow is drifted shoulder-high in some
places. No teams came in from the
country, as the roads are completely
blocked. There are but twenty-four
members out of 160 of the Legislature
present and it will probably be Thurs
day before a session will be called.
There have been no trains on any
road since yesterday, and traveling
men who happen to be in the city arc
unable to get away. The street cars
are unable to run. The public schools
are closed.
Schenectady, March 13. The train
which left Rochester at 10:20 yester
day morning has been stalled by snow
four miles East of Schenectady since
5 p. m, yesterday. About fifty mem
bers and Senators were on board. No
provisions could be obtained until
morning. I he nearest house was
about forty rods away, and nothing
could be had there except ham and
potatoes. A Rochester millionaire
and a Buffalo statesman cooked for
the hungry passengers until all were
provided for. This morning a relief
train brought the passengers to Schen
ectady, where five trains are stalled
with no immediate prospects of getting
out. A stock tram is snowed in ahead
of the stalled train. The stock was
all frozen to death last night.
Saratoga, March 13. The snow
fall, which began here in earnest at
io o'clock Sunday, continued with but
little intermission for thirty-six hours.
The snow is forty inches deep. The
wind blows furiously from all points
of the compass and whirls tbe snow
into piles of fantastic shapes. I here
was no getting into or out of town and
the cleaning of the sidewalks was
abandoned. The Ust train through
town was the Deleware and Hudson
southbound mail last night, one hour
late, drawn by two locomotives, after
which, all trains on the road were
abandoned. The schools were offi
cially closed for the day. The tem
perature is but a few degrees below the
freezing point.
Amsterdam, March 13. The snow
here is nearly five feet in depth and in
some places in the streets the drifts are
twelve to fifteen feet high. Many of
the streets arc impassable and but very
few vehicles are out. The street rail
road is abandoned. No trains have
come in on the Central since 8 o'clock
last night. Snow is still falling fast
and the wind is blowing hard.
Binghamtok, March 13. The
storm increased in fury last night and
the wind piled the snow up in impass
able drifts. Street car traffic was
abandoned and very few people were
on the streets to-day. Three trains
are stuck on the Pocono Mountain and
only one train has come through from
New York on the Iackawanna since
Sunday night. The last train from
New York on the Erie arrived yester
day morming.
Syracuse, March 1 3. Up to noon
to-day sot a train had been sent out
East on any of tbe roads on account
of the fury of the storm. All trains
from the West, on both 'the Central
and West Shore roads, are held here,
with no prospects of moving them be
fore to-morrow. The hotels are
crowded with delayed and vexed trav
elers. The officers of the Deleware,
and Lackawanna and Western tent out i
a bulletin this morning to all stations
South advising people to delay trtv?
eling till after the storm abates.
Officers of the Central and West Shore
reads say that nothing will be done
toward opening the lines until the
storm is over.
Rome, March 13. The storm has
been one of the most severe ever known
here. This morning the mercury was
below zero in different parts of the
city, and a Dakota blizzard howled
through the streets. Not a train ar
rived at or left this station to-day, and
no mails were received. The Circuit
Court in session here was compelled
to take a recess this forenoon because
of the inability of many, of the court
officials to get here. The storm abated
somewhat about noon.
Utica, March 13. Yesterday's bliz
zard continued to-day. The fall of
snow is unprecedented. The fast mail
and fast Atlantic express, due in New
York early this morning, are stalled
here and the passengers are making
tne oest 01 tne situation, amusing
themselves with cards, etc. No trains
arrived to-day from any direction.
Troy, March 13. Snow has fallen
' here without a moment's cessation far
forty hours. Its average depth is four
feet, but some of the drifts in the
streets are twelve feet high. All travel
except that of pedestrians is susjended.
Little business is done and all the
schools are closed.
ON THE ALLEGHANJES.
Pittsburg, Pa., March 13. Busi
ness on the Pensylvania Railroad be
tween this city and Philadelphia is
completely paralyzed. No trains have
arrived from the East since last night.
Everything is blockaded by snow on
and east of the mountains. There are
miles of freight and a few passenger
trains snowbound, with little prospect
of getting them out for at least twenty
four hours. At some places the snow
drifts are five to eight feet in depth.
Almost all the telegraph wires are
down, and it is impossible from this
end of the road to locate or commu
nicate with the snowbound trains.
The railroad officials have informa
mation to the effect that the snow
storm is gradually working its way
Westward, and will probably reach
this city late to-night or to-morrow.
Baftimore and Ohio trains from the
East continue to arrive, but are very
much delayed. The local tempera
ture ranged to-day from 8 to 10 de
grees above zero. In the early after
noon a fine snow began to fall. All
kinds of business showed the effects of
the storm, and the streets were almost
deserted. The telegraph companies
have been greatly inconvenienced
through loss of communication with
the East. For the first time in ten
years there was no receipt of shipment
of live stock from the Central btock
Yards at East Liberty.
Harrisburg, Pa., March 13. No
trains have arrived here from Philadel
phia over the Pennsylvania road since
5:45 Monday morning. Owing to
the high wind and cold weather little
progress is being made in removing
the snowdrifts from the railroad tracks,
although several thousands shovelers
are at work east of Lancaster. 'Be
tween Iancaster and Harrisburg miles
of cars are strung on the tracks. In
addition to the obstacles interposed to
railroad travel by the snow, hundreds
of telegraph poles are lying across the
tracks. No such embargo on railroad
business ever before existed east of
this city.
WASHINGTON WAS C'JT OIF.
Washington, March 1 3. The snow
storm which struck the city Sunday
night spent its fury before daylight
Monday morning and left Washing
ton practically cut fffrom telegraphic
communication with the rest of the
world. Ixng stretches of telegraph
poles within the city limits and on the
outskirts of the city leading to Balti
more, Pittsburg and the South were
found on Monday morning broken by
the force ot the blizzard. Gans of
telegraph repairmen were at work all
'day yesterday and to-day clearing up
and removing the tangled wires and
broken poles. But slow progress has
been made, as the weather has been
bitterly cold and the wind has blown
a gale ever since Sunday night. Last
night out of more than two hundred
wires leading into the offices of the
telegraph companies but four were in
working order two leading to Balti
more, another to Pittsburg and the
fourth to Richmond. This afternoon,
through the untiring efforts of the tele
graph repairmen, the situation was im
proved somewhat, and telegraphic
communication with Chicago, Cincin
nati, Baltimore and a few Southern
points was restored.
in the bleak north-west.
Winnipeg, Man., March 13. A
terrific blizzard is raeine on the North
i shore of Lake Superior, and trains on
the Canadian Pacific Railroad are
completely blockaded. Ne trains have
arrived there from Montreal since
Thursday, New York Stat 1 4.
Some people are so sanguine in this
word that they think they can plant a
handful of seed ia a snowdrift and
gather a carload of strawberries the
day after the first thaw.
