Trains All Abandoned on the New
York CentraI---A Milk Famine
Threatened.
New YORK, Jan. 27.-The storm of
night before last and yesterday was
most severe in the Mohawk valley. The
New York Central abandoned all its
trains on the Hudson river division at
O'Clock last night on account of the
snow blockade. The wind, which blew
at sixty miles an hour, swept the light
snow across the tracks in such quanti-
ties that resistance to it was useless.
The snow was no sooner cleared away
by gangs of labOrerS than it covered the
tracks again. There were four paSsen-
ger trains stalled in the snow between
Albany and New York, land fully score
of freight trains. The company announ-
ceS that it will have the snow blockade
raised as soon as the high wind subsidies,
and it expects to start the Chicago linn
tied this morning as usual at $50
o'clock, and other trains thereafter as
usual. The Chicago limited express,
over the New York Central, arrived this
morning thirteen hours late. The Mich
gan Central train, due at $50 last night,
had not arrived at noon, but was ex-
pected soon. The st. Louis limited
over the Erie Dad reached Deposit at
O'Clock this morning, and at noon was
in snow bank one mile east of that
point. The Erie officials refuse infOrma-
ton in regard to the condition of the
road. A milk famine is threatened.
The milk trains over many of the roads
are buried in Snowdrifts, with the con-
tents of the cans frozen solid. Sixty
cars loaded with milk are showed in
near Middletown. The milk trains over
the Pennsylvania road are the only ones
in to-day.
TWO MEN KILLED.
Troy, N. Y, Jan. 27.-The effects of
