Women in Business.

In this age of extreme activity and
wonderful development, isa noteworthy
fact that many women have made their
own way in mercantile life, and sue
cessfully compete with mcn III many
lines of business. Women, whether
they labor in the household or in the
store, are all liable to suffer from tunc-
tional arrangements and the cares OF
maternity. For all troubles known I'M

DIR. Pierce's Favoritc Prescription IS a
fayoritc tonic and uied specific. 1t re-
lleves the greatest sufferers, and res
torres the patient to vigorous health and
strength. 1t is the only medicine for
women, sold by druggists, snt7ef u posi-

This is one OF the most valuable
articles in a family, and when it has
once obtained a foolhold in the
house, it is really a necessity and
could i'll be dispensed with. Its
medicinal qualities arc very numer-
'ous; for burns it is a quick applica-
tion and gives immediate relief for
blistcrs OH the hands it is of price
less value, soaring dowq the. skin
and preventing soreness; for corns
,on the toes it is useful, and good for
rheumatism and sore Threats, and it
is the quickest remedy for conyul-
sions Or fits. Then it is q ssre pre-.
ventivc against moths; by dropping
a triflc in the bottom of drawers,
chests and cupboards, it will render
the garments secure from injury dur

New YORK, March 13.-There has been
only partial resumption OF traffic in this
city. Elevated railroad trains are running
at intervals, but they are wholly made
quate for the requirements. Most business
men who have come down this morning
were forced to walk. Sleighs and car
riages were in great demand. The wind
is still blowing furiously and the snowJis
badly drifted, being piled in many places
six ami eight feet high.
Several persons are reported to have per
ished in the city. Last night communic2-
ton with Washington ana all points
south of New York is still entirely cut Off
No surface cars are running. The snow
is frozen so hard that plOws cannot be used
and gangs of men with shoyels and picks
are endeavoring to clear the roads. The
East river WAS frozea hard this mGrning
and many BrcOk!ynites walked across 1t
to the New York side. Few trains, If any,
have reached the different termini in New
York and Jersey City. Many trains
stalled between stations on the Hudson
River aad Harlem roads. Officials said
Yesterday that forty trains were showed
in. All efforts to break through the snow
drifts had completely failed. Not train
reached depot during the day. Most Of
the roads report a similar condition Of
affairs. Passengers suffered great dlscom-
fort. Ferry boats are only run at long
intervals. All eastern wires are down.
Communication from Philadelphia last
night by the long distance telephone, SAID
the storm there was the greatest IN over
thirty wears. No trains were running,
many being snOw-bound near the city.
The east bound Chicago limited express on
the Pennsylvania was showed in seventeen
miles from the city. Business was sus-
pended, and all te.egraphs were down.
Last night was the worst ever exper-
fenced along the blnks of the Hudson, and
along West Chester shore Of the Sound.
This morning at o'clock, at Dobb's Ferry,
on the Hudson, and Port Chester, on the
Sound, marked zero. The gale swept with
fearful velocity, RrairOad traffic on Long
Island is entirely blocked. Thousands OF
men are at work digging out tracks
Snow plOWs can't be used. President
Austin Corbin is snow bound at Jemaica.
He left on the train for Brooklyn yester-
day morning.
Geo. D. Barrymore, well known i'm
porter, aud dealer in hops at No. 3 Water
Street, was found frozen stiff in snow
bank in Seventh avenue. Barrymore
lived with his wife and family in Osborn
flats, Fiity-frst street and Broadway. He
started for his Office down town yesterday
and it is supposed he became exhausted
and dropped by the way unnoticed. The
body Of Annie Halpin Fisher, aged about
30 wears, was found last night frozen stiff
in hallway in West Thirty ninth street,
where she lived She was once well know
in the social world but had fallen into bad
/ habits.

Tho r. L. o. Engineers Send Aid to Their
Striking Brothers.
The General Grievance Committee Of the
Brothe. hood Of Locomotive Engineers of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, consisting Of
engineers from Philadelphia to Chicago,
held q lengthy meeting at the Windsor
Hotel, in Cumberland, Md, Sunday, on
business connected with the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy strike. There was a
good representation of the committee pres
ent, with James DennisoD, of Chicago,
chairman.
The committee was in session in an up
stairs room of the hotel all day and did not
adjourn until nearly II o'clock that night.
The proceedings were, of course, secret and
were not given ont, but the object was to
afford an opportunity for the members of
the committee TO arrive at thorough un-
derstanding as TO what would be done in
case occasion for sustaining the Brother
hood should arise There was o general dis
cussion of the situation and thorough un-
derstanding was arrived at. Just what the
understanding was can, Of course, only be
copjectured.
Mr.. Dsnnison stated distinctly that the
Baltimore and Ohio engineers have no
grievance, and that on the contrary, there
is no better feeling between company and
its engineers on any road in the country.
The committee were called together in "a

when the wide extent OF territory covered
is considered.
II is rumored that Tygart Valley Divis-
ion No. 2s4, B. Of L. E, has ordered the

on them for 81 900, and more, if they find
it necessary. The engineers who attended
the meeting from this section returned
home yesterday.
