 WORCESTER, Mass, March 13.-The storm in Worcester and vicinity has been the se-
 verest known since 1867. The railroads are at a standstill with the exception of one track to Boston which was opened this fore noon. Five yesterday afternoons trains on
 the Boston and Albany from Boston are still
 stalled in the ssdeep cut" two miles east of
 this city. The train due at p. m. last night
 was stalled in the cut night, but came
 through on the south track this morning
 The passengers on all the trains with the ex-
 ception of few hardy men remained in the
 cars all night. Two relief parties with food
 and coffee and blankets reached them about
 midnight on foot. The fires in their engines
 were out and many of the passengers suffered
 severely from the cold. All were brought to
 this city on the 2 p. m. train, which came
 through this morning. The mail and express
 messengers are still guarding their property
 on the trains. Two trains have been started
 for Boston this forenoon, but have not been
 heard from. Nothing is known of the con-
 dition of the road nor trains west of here.
 The Providence and Worcester road started 8
 train of two engines and one car at o'clock yesterday afternoon, but it returned after go- ing nearly to Millbury, a freight being stalled
 ahead of it. The train came back to within
 a mile of the city where it stuck and still re-
 mains. An engine off the track in the yard prevents it's return and it was not until 10:30 to-day that the passengers were brought back to the station they left yesterday noon. The passenger train due here at 6 last night is stalled at Baskerville, fourteen miles south. Nothing further is known of this road as the telegraph is not in operation.
 The Norwich and Worcester train leaving at 4:45 D. m. went as far as South Worcester with one and two engines. It managed to get back one mile in two hours with four engines and snow blow. Yesterday after noon's freight is still at Auburn.

 HARTFORD, March 13.-The Hartford Courant tells an interesting story of the great storm: Providence reports hurricane of wind followed by the storm of snow and sleet and has brought business to standstill. The wires are down in all directions and railroad traffic is badly impeded. The storm has ragged fercely all day.
 At Newport the breakers are the largest ever seen, and it is feared are doing much damage.
 Block Island is completely storm bound, the big waves rolling over the breakwater in a terrific manner, doing much damage te sa have been lost Captain Waters, from the life-saving station near Newport, says the sea is the worst he has ever experienced.
 The Gourant's Springfield special says: The storm is simply unprecedented. By noon business began to suspend. The schools then closed for the day and many children were lost in the binding sieet and awful The street railway company abandoned cars along it's lines and there they stand stalled. No hacks or cabs or other conveyances could be hired to leave the stables, for most of the streets were impossible. Several hundred shop girls and competitors in the center of the city whose homes are at 8 distance were sent by their employers to neighboring ho- tels for the night. The depot is filled with trains which came in early in the day and all attempts to start trains outward are fu- tile. The hotels about the depot are filled to overfowirg with crowds of travelling peo- pie who are giving all sorts ot entertain ments. Similar stories come from all points in western Massachusetts. The storm has apparently subsided here, but word comes from Vermont that it is at its height. Several towns had town meetings to-day and in many cases farmers lost their way. Men and horses suffered terribly in exposed sections. A Boston and Albany employe on 8 snow blow west of this city was killed this afternoon by his own care lessness in handling the big lever. It flew up with terrible force, hit him under the chin and broke his neck.
