WORSE THAN IN WAR,
Is the Isolation Of the Capital of the
Nation.

Boston, March 14.-The Journal has the
following from Washington: "The unprece-
dented storm continues. There is no record
of so low temperature at this time of the
year. The thermometer was 12s above this
morning. The wind still blows a gale. Tel
egraph and railroad communication is brok-
en-. Washington was never so completely
cut out even during the rebellion. There
has been only one train from New York
since Saturday night. No New York or
eastern mail or papers since Sunday morn
ing. Not telegraph wire inside the city is
working, except one underground from the
White House to the Capitol. Miles of poles
are Frustrated. Complete resumption of tel
egraph facilities is not deemed probable for
month. One train which arrived, stopped
300 times In few miles to remove telegraph
poles. Mail communication with the North
Is as much interrupted as telegraph. The
storm seems mainly confined to the Atlantic
coast The western mails are beginning to
arrive, but slightly delayed. Today one
the first news from New York since Sunday
forenoon. 1t was that Wall street had sus-
pended operations. This was boon to anx-
ious crowds about the brokers' offices. At
tempts have been made to send dispatches to
Boston via st. Louis and Buffalo, and
through Canada, which were partly success
full. The weather gives little show to repair
the damage over the two or three threads of
wires which have been reestablished between
here and the outer world. Four messages
are being sent on each wire at the same time
and force of linemen which arrived here
from Philadelphia removed 700 poles from
the track between Philadelphia and Wash
ington. The telephone and fire alarm SER
vice is temporarily destroyed. Trains can
not leave on schedule time, because there
are not cars enough. The bottom of the
river from the edge to the channel, is bare
aud frozen, SO that one can walk upon it.

suIt AGAINST the Eastern.

Among the cases on the equity list of the
Supreme Court, Boston, Tuesday, was that
of Charles E. French against the Eastern
Railroad Company. in which the plaintiff
seeks to have the trustees of the defendent
removed, ON the>ground that they had lille
gally issued preferred stock to the injury OF
bondholders, of which Mr.. French is one.
Mr.. Richard Olney, as counsel for the East
ern Railroad Company, filed plea denying
the issue of preferred stock in question, and
then left to attend committee meeting at
the State House saying that he did not care
to be heard in the matter. Mr.. French then
addressed the Court, and Judge Field took
the papers to consider whether the plea If
allowed, did not dispose of the case as mat
ter of law.

VOICES FROM the STORM.
CONTINUED FROM FIRST rAGE.l

Ferry street (Malden) cars made trips clear
out, and up to 10 o'clock but one car had
made the round trip. The Brighton, Somer-
vile and broadway cars had dlfhculty IN
making their trips, and Third street was re-
ported by the drivers of the Someryllle line
of cars to be almost blocked with stiff slush;;
The Shawmut avenue cars were enabled
to make trips almost on schedule four-horse
time, but only with the greatest exertion,
for the street is narrow and the snow bank
ed up by householders was tramped over
the tracks and made railroading difficult.
The South Boston and Chelsea cars had all
they could do to run on half time, and as the
night advanced these trips were made with
more and more difficulty, owing to the still
ening of the slush.
1t was noticed that the Charlestown, Cam
bridge, West End, and the fremont Brook
line and Columbus Avenve cars had extraor-
dinarily heavy loads of passengers. The
night was inclement, fine, dry snow, that
was blown into the face with cutting force,
making people more than anxious to seek
the shelter of the cars. The combination of
bad roads, heavy loads and tagged out horses
was productive of much profanity on the
part of drivers. and resulted in delayed SER
vice, long waits and standing room only"
for tired, damp and cross passengers. TAX
ing into consideration the difficulties that
had to be encountered, the street railroads
did remarkably well.
The storm has been the harvest of the her
die drivers. The tinkling bells of the bob
tailed vehicles were heard on every down
town street. Herdics rushed everywhere,
the ''crowbait' horses steaming and blowing
and the drivers animatedly pounding them
with all sorts of pursuaders. The wheels
of these herdics frequently resembled the
solid ldises upon which Indian cars
are trundled, by reason of the space be-
tween the spokes filling up with the half con-
gealed slush, into which the wheels cut up to
the hub. Herdic drivers said that travel was
the hardest upon their horses that they had
known for years. Four-wheeled vehicles
were rarely used, the additional wheels prov
ing too much for the live stock.
Throughout the city, wherever there are
street tracks. the snow plows threw up win
rows of coffee colored slush, which, In the
narrow streets, piled up on the edges of the
sidewalks, and formed walls impossible,
save to the lOng-booted and in many places
four feet high. BY reason of accumulations
of snow from roofs and sidewalks. these mar
row streets were called upon to carry some
which the snow plows bu' rowed. cutting a
clean swath. The consequence was that the
side streets were blocked at their entrances,
each having wall of snow across it,
A good many sleighing parties were out
on Beacon street between and 10 o'clock
last evening, and a goodly number Of cutters
took to the road, and consequently the road
houses were merry, for each of those hostel
ries entertained parties that had come out to
have the sort of good time that seems to be
generally associated with the exhilaratlng
sport of sleigh-riding.
