KATARRoos is a brand new word in the English

vent Of the article it denominates. And the arti-
Gle must be as unique as its name, judging from
the many testimonials in its favor. 1t is claimed
that nothing before known so effectively disposes
of cold in the head, or alleviates or eradicates
catarrh. And If the demand which is now being
made for it confirms these first testimonies, the

NEW YORK VIA LONDON.
How Boston Brokers got their New
York Quotations.

BosToN, March 14-Even the "long dis
lance telephone" which on Monday night
connected New York, was outdone yesterday
by the enterprise of a private banking firm
in this city. Messrs Kidder, Peabody & Co.
wanted yesterday the quotations of stocks as
they were selling in the New York Stock Ex-
change on Wall street, and, although the
wires between the Hub and the Metropolis
were all down, they found way of getting
them. The cost was little more than the
rate, for they had to use 5000 miles of cable
to get the information. Their representa-
tives in New York cabled the information to
the firms London representatives, by whom
it was cabled over to Boston, thus giving
them the only quotations, as far as known,
that have got here from Wall street since
Monday morning. The Commercial Tele-
grain ticker had made desperate effort to
get New York during the morning, but the
wires were hopelessly grounded all the way
through Connecticut, it finally sent out an
honest notice that the prospect was bad,
which wasn't very fresh piece Of news,
and it added quite innocently that every eff
fort would be made to restore the connection
later in the day. 1t didn't succeed. The
News Bureau got quotations of Erie, Read
ing, Lake Shore and st. Paul through Lon
don. This formed an original incident, for
it probably never before happened in Boston

Cities and Towns Isolated From the

NEW YORK, March 10, via LONDON, by the
Mackay-Bennett Commercial Gables to Bos-
ton.-New York city and state are complete
ly paralyzed, SO far as railroad and tele-
graphic service is concerned. There is abso-
lutely no travelling in the State save for very
short distances. Cities and towns are effec-
tually 'boxed up" and are likely to remain
so in thickly settled parts of the State for a
few days at least, and in the more widely
scattered sections for week and perhaps a
longer period. 1t is agreed on all sides that
the storm is the worst New York State has
ever experienced, and when it is possible for
humanity to move about again with custom
airy freedom, and the results of the blizzard
can be summed up, it is expected that the
loss of life will be found to be heavy, and
the extent of the damage to property will be
placed among the millions. There are no
surface roads in operation, no trains are
moving, and no wires but those under the
ocean that can be operated from this city.

The New York G. New Haven Railroad Of
fcials started large force Of shovellers at
work up through the cut in the city, bound
east and at a. m. started two engines east
over the Hartford division. At last report
they had reached Wallingford, about miles
at / o'clock this afternoon. The trains
which were left stalled at lFairhaven, three
miles from town, were pulled into the rail-
road yard, the first train from the East since
o'clock Monday morning. No trains have
been started esst on any division. and no
trains have been started toward New York
up to noon. 1t is very doubtful If the trains
will be started until the shovellers and snow
plows have cleared the track. A number of
passengers snow-bound at Bridgeport char
tered tug-boar and were brought around to

two passenger trains have been started from
Bridgeport for New York, but has not been
confirmed.

Making Slow Progress.

HARTFORD, Conn, March 81 a. M :
1t rained slightly during the evening, but not
enough to make serious trouble. The rail-
roads are making slow progress breaking
open. The Consolidated Road is open from
Hartford to Springfield, but is blocked be-
tween here and Berlin by derailed train
across both tracks. Passengers who left
Boston at a. m. and IL a. m. last Monday,
are mostly at hotels here. There is poor
prospect of getting through to New Haven
for several hours. The train which left Bos-
ton on the New England at $50 a. m. Mon
day. and which has been stalled at Vernon
10 miles east, since Monday noon, arrived at
IL o'clock tonight, with 81 passengers. The
New England road is clear to Planville.
Twelve miles west of that point the cuts are
badly filled, and 1t will take day or two to
push through. The Connecticut Western
expects to push through before night, as far
as Winsted. The New England road is bad
ly drifted between Vernon and Willimantic.
There is no immediate prospect OF through
trains.
