between Trenton and New York for
several DAYS

Ie8TlOj. DuIlnR Two Dl3Ot6 LDey were
obliged to walk mp aud down through
the cars to keep from freezing. Fires
were kept burning in the stoves, but
the wind blew 80 tiercely that they did
not warm the cars. Several of them
attempted to walk to Princeton juno
tiOn. half y mile and nearly persisted In
the drifts. They returned to the train
with great difficulty. Many OF them
when brought tO Trenton had their ears
and feet badly frozen. While on the
train they had no, provisions until
Tuesday morning when some farmer
brought sandwiches to the cars and
asked fifty cents for them.

COMPLETE PROsTRAT1ON.
Boston. March 15.-Th- storm has
now ragged for two days all over New
England as for rs scanty comm 'n,c:.
tions could reach. Every railroad out
OF the city is blockaded completely aud
the only telegraphic communication is
hy the Commercial Cable company's
line to Rockport, Me-. and thence
hy cable to London. Never before
was there such a complete prOstration
Of business. and the damage Of prop
erty is enormous.
500 DEAD BODIES.
One Of the most distressing circmu-
stances connected with the blizzard
was the inability to bnry the dead
with the pititul heartrendngs of huntl-
reds Of the near and dear ones caused
by horrible delays. 1t is estimated
that at least $40 bodies are ut present
lying in the hands of the undertakers
of this city, who despite their hardest
efforts. are entirely unable IT, convey
them to their last resting places.
It is impossible now to estimate the
full DANA ze of the storm on the Ches-
| apeake, rs it will be \ week before the
returns can be gathered. From the
data 1T hand. between 100 aud 200 ves-
sells were either cast ashore. capsiZed
or sunk, from thirty t" forty were
wrecked and twelve to thirty people
were drowned.
TERRIBLE SCENES.
Thousands Of guests were Turned
away from the hotels. Many Of them
begged pitifully for cots in the corrid-

who could NOT get away. Even women
were turned ont into the pitiless gale.
IL fact, it was Il day and night that
shall always be memorable rs long AS
the present generation lives. Nothing
even approaching it was ever Known

known in these religions. Business on
the Pennsylvania railroad between this
