BALTIMORE'S BLIZZARD.

Worst storm In Twoaty Years-Business at
stand StiIl.
BALTIMORE, March 13.-For the first
time in the existence OF the telegraph, Bal
timore was cut Off from communication
with New York and Washington for over
"a hours from Sunday night. Not only
were the wires down, but hundreds Of tel
eraph poles along both the Western Union
aud railroad lines are broken. A mild
rain set in Sunday morning from the east,
but soon the wind veered TO the northeast,
blowing gale, and By nightfaIl the worst
blizzard that has swept this section 10
twenty years was blowing; the tempera-
ture fell % degrees in 10 hours. By nine
o'clock Sunday night the snow was six
inches deep aud all communication cut
off. The wind was blowing about fifty
miles an hour. Travel through the
streets Of the city was dangerous, as tin
roofs and chimneys went flying along the
streets. Telegraph poles holding 20 or 80
wires each were blown down In different
parts VI Nho SARN
The tide yesterday was lower than ever
known in the memory Of the old wharf
men, being at least twelve feet below the
ordinary low water, and as q consequence
many deep draught vessels lying 10 the
different docks were grounded. At the
county dock, foot of Broadway, the water
was so Low that the bottom was barred,
and persons could walk dry shod on the
soil thus exposed. After 9 o'clock the fire
telegraph system was useless. An
alarm could not have been
sent in from over dozen boxes, and the
city would have been practically at the
mercy of the flames hsd they broken ont.
| The old watch tower system was put IN
use. At each engine house sentinel
was stationed in the belfry, and relieved at
intervals. II is the opinion Of all bay
captains that Sunday night WAS one of the
worst ever experienced on Chesapeake
Bay, and as the notice OF the storm was SC
short, there have doubtless been many dis
asters, which will be reported as soon IS
the vessels begin TO arrive. No vesse
could live in the Bsy, Sunday night.

Afternoon Session

The matter OF the ordinance grant
ing a franchise for street car rail
road on Seventh and Ninth streets
being again brought up the ordinance
was lost.
Captain Barrett asked to change his
vote to no, and gave notice that he
would move to nsider the matter
at the next regular meeting.
The Board OF Public Works offered
report recommending that the Street
Superintendent be allowed an addi-
tional clerk. On motion, the recon-
mendation was received and filed.
On motion OF Captain Barrett, the
Street Superintendent was authorized
to employ an additional clerk at a
salary of 800 per month.
At the request OF Mr.. Collins Pc
tition from Henry r. Simpson for per-
mission to lay spur railroad track
on Alameda street, to connect with
the Los Angeles and San Pedro Rail
way Company, was read, and petition
granted.
Mr.. Hitler stated that he did not
quite understand the action taken
with regard to the dummy railroad on
Bellevue avenue. City Attorney
DAILY offered an opinion advising that
the right to operate such road by the
proprietors of same be ignored.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, one of the pro-
: prietors of the road, requested to be
heard, and stated that he understood
the City Attorneys opinion was based
on the law prohibiting the operating
Of steam cars on any street-car rail-
way. The Dummy road was rail-
road, not street-car line, in every
sense, and fell within the law govern
ing other railroads.
Mr.. Hitler moved to reconsider the
former action Of the Council taken in
the matter.
Mr.. Cohn opposed the reconsidera-
tion, stating that he was satisfied the
former action was right. The Grand
Jury now in session would doubtless
settle the matter with this company
Is well as with others. They were
manifestly rum ny in violation of the
State law. Motion to reconsider lost

Superintendent was instructed to defer
