THE SNOW STORM IN BosToN--IHE STREET
CAR COMPANIES AND THE CITIZENS AT
LoGGERHEADs.
Bosroy, JAS. 2, 1877
The most severe and troublesome snow storm ever
experienced in this vicinity al early hour this
morning Scarcely less than two feet OF snow have
fallen on level and this, with the heavy body pre-
viously on the ground. has dred in some sections so
badly as to cause a partial and IN some cases en-,
tire, suspension OF business Tho railroads in al
directions were, OF course, badly blocked, and on
some OF them tho embargo was not wholly
removed until late this afternoon Tho trouble
on tho Boston and Albany road
the most serious, many OF the suburban
trans being delayed four five hours those from
New York and Albany tor a much longer period. Even
the outward in the morning did net start until
only 10 be further delayed they worked their way
into the interior OF tho country.
The IN Boston are dangerous and difficult of
locomotion and IN some cases almost wholly impassa
bio The horse railroad companies IN clearing their
tracks piled the snow mountains high In the streets
through whc. they PASSED. and the citizens in turn
shoyelled the back the tracks Scenes OF this
kind numerous in different parts OF the city, and
the interference OF The police were necessary To pre-
OF violence between the citizcns and railroad
employees. Over East Boston the citizens succeeded
In blocking up the tracks ccctuay and the Metropolis
Railroad Company was obliged 10 substitute sieghs
for cars.
The roof OF tho carriage house OF A. Garcelons iiv
cry stable. Drummer street, fell in to-day from tho
great weight of snow upon 1t. Twenty five carriages
and sleighs demolished. Total damage, $4,000;
no insurance.
