A NEW YORK BLIZZARD
UnroOfs Houses and Does
Damage to Shipping.
A MEETING OF THE FORCES.
The Storms Work at Other Eastern
Points A Snow Blockade in
Canada-Bits from Boston.
The Blizzard

New YORK, February 2G. "A terrific
gale has rendered the streets deserted
tonight; the street car lines carry all
persons obliged to be out in it, being al
most impossible for other than vigorous
people to breast the gale at all. On the
river the ferry boats;are running, but
much delay is occasioned by the boats
being drifted past their slips.
Train are reported late, owing to
hard winds. No abatement in the
fercenesS of the gale was notice
able at midnight and reports were
being received from many quarters of
the city of more or less serious damage
to buildings, including the topping
over of chimnevs, etc. A number of
women were injured by being blown
down in the streets or against obstruc-
tons, and one or two persons were hurt
with flying missiles. The signal service
observer here said tonight that the
Texas storm and Montana storm had
collided Just west OF the city and had
bulged eastward. The storm centre was
so near this city that the full effect was
felt here. The wind was steady from
the northwest at an average velocity OF
ulJy HlllcS per HOuI. Lie uudAtLu uLu
velocity was at II a. m. to-day,
when it was eighty four miles
per hour, the highest speed since
the New York station was established
the highest previously being seventy
two miles per hour in 1876. At midnight
the Thermometer marked 12H degrees.
The gale is passing easterly along the
coast, but as it is blowing off the coast
the only trouble to the shipping will be
out to sea. Only one sailing YES
sci returned at this port to-day and
she was towed in. She and tug were
smothered in ice. Reports from ada
cent points and points up the Hudson
River are to the effect that much dam
age has been done to property. Tele-
graph wires have been greatly tangled
and communication with the outside
world has been almost at standstill.
NEWARK, N. j., February 26.-The
wind has been blowing a gale all day.
The roof of st. Mary's Church, Parm
ley's hat store and dwelling house were
blown off. Telegraph and telephone
wires are down.
WASHINGTON, February ga heavy
wind storm has prevailed here since
midnight. During last night and to-
day several houses were unroofed, shut
tiers blown off. signs demolished and
windows smashed in various parts of
the city. The roof of the new pension
building suffered severely, the slate and
tin being torn off in many places. A
frame house in the western part of the
city was blown down this afternoon.

Bits From Boston.

BosroN, February 26.-At O'Clock
this morning ahuge telegraph pole on the
corner of Market and Alabama streets
was broken short off by the high winds.
Other poles in the neighborhood were
broken or torn down in quick success
ion and several streets we're soon block
AIDED with poles and an inextricable
snare of wires. Many horses got entang-
led and a panic was narrowly avoided.
The streets were at once roped off and
large gangs of men were set at work to
clear the wreck. For the time being
freight delivered at the Albany
depot had to be dragged by hand
around the block. No injury
to life or limb has so far been reported
but there have been many narrow
escapes. A furious blizzard prevailed
during the night in this vicinity and for
along distance down eastern coast. At
Portland, twenty inches of snow has
fallen and it is still showing. Business
is at a stand still. The Grand Trunk
railway is blockaded at Bethlehem and
between there and South Paris it is
in bad condition.
AT st. John, N, B., the snow is the
heaviest of the season and the wind is
blowing sixty miles an hour.
At Westfeld, the steeple of the First
Congregational church was turned
completely over and thrust through the
roof OF the building into Iaudience
room

The Great Chess Players

New ORLEANS, February 26.-In the
chess game to-day between Zuckertort
and Steinitz, the latter had the white
pieces and opened the game with a
pawn to the kings fourth. There was
hardly moments delay when Fucker
tort answered with P to K 4. 1t was
evident they wished to make time, for
Steinitz played K to B and immedi-
ately Zuckortort answered with K to
0 B and the "Ruy Lopez" gambet
was accepted. Steinltz pushed out his
bishop to Queens Knight third, and
Zuckertort, without delay placed his
Knight to Kings Bishop third, Steinitz
then castled. The play up to this time
had been very rapid and each
player seemed to be willing to develope
his game early in the action and
it continued rapid to the end, when the
games was declared drawn on the 21st
move, Steinitz having occupied So
minutes and Zukertort %. 1t was a
book" game up to the fifth five. The
first variation was the eleventh move,
when Steinitz gave B to r 3, instead of
the traditional B to Kt 2. At the
seventeenth move Zuckertort asked
Steinitz "Will you play to win ?' as the
draw seemed probable. Steinitz replied
that he would play while longer. On
the 21st move he said he was willing to
make it a draw, and Zuckertort as
scented. Immediately afterward both
began see how they could have won had
they made an exchange of Queens.
They play the next game on Monday.

Saved the Trouble.

DENVER, February 26.-John Fitz-
gerald, laborer on the High Line
Ditch Company, came to Denver several
days ago and went on spree. This even
ing he went into pawn shop, asked to
be shown a revolver, which he loaded
with the intention of suiciding. Police
were called, and as Captain Swain was
entering the door, Fitzgerald pointed
the revolver at the officer, but before he
could fire it. Swain shot him in the right
groin, lnficting wound from which he
will die. When Fitzgerald was asked
what he intended to do with the re-
volver he replied: Il intended to sui
eide, but now am saved that trouble. u
The cause of the attempt is unknown.

The Panama Canal.

PARIS, February 26.-Rousseau, the
delegate appointed by the government
to inspect the work on the Panama
Canal, telegraphs that he is on his re
turn homeward in company with Chief
Engineer Jacquet. 1t is reported that
was useless for him to await the ar
rival of NJ. De Lesseps. and that the
French delegates are not in accord with
the views of Charles De Lesseps on the
questions of cost and the time in which
it is possible to construct the canal.
The report of NJ. Rosseau and also that
of NJ. Jacquet are said to be so adverse
that the government has already de-
cided to refuse TO authorize the issue of
lottery obligations in connection with
the CANALS construction.
