CHESAPEAKE BAY.
The Widest Night Ever Experi-
enced on the Bay.


enced on the Bay.
BALTIMORE, Md, March 13.-For the
first time in the existence of the tele-
graph Baltimore was cut off from COM
munication with New York and Wash
ington for over twenty-four hours from
Sunday night. Not only were the wires
down, but hundreds of telegraph poles
along both the Western Union and rail-
road 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 nightfall the
worst blizzard that has swept this sec
tiOn in twenty years was blowing. The
temperature fell 20 deg. in ten hours.
By o'clock Sunday night the snow was
six inches deep, and all communications
cut off. The wind vas 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 twenty or
thirty wires each, were blown down in
different parts of the city. The tide
yesterday was lower than ever known
in the history Of the old wharfmen, be-
ing at least twelve feet below the level
of ordinary low water, and, as a conse-
quence, many deep draught vessels ly-
ing in 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 couldn't have been
sent in from over dozen boxes, and the
city would have been practically at the
mercy of the flames had fire broken out.
The old watch tower system was put
into use. At each engine house a SEN
tnel was stationed in the M belfry and re- e.
old bay captains that Sunday night was
one of the worst ever experienced on
Chesapeake bay, and. as the notice of
the storm was so short, there have doubt
less been many diseaSters which will be
reported as soon as the vessels begin to
arrive. No vessel could live in the bay

FIERCE WINDS.
In Washington the Wind Con-
tinues to Blow With Unabated


In Washington the Wind Con-
tinues to Blow With Unabated
Fury.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The fierce
wind storm which struck Washington
last Saturday night, and which has con-
tinued uninterruptedly since that time,
shows no signs of abating. The day
has been cl0udless, but the force and
iciness of the wind has kept indoors all
except those who were compelled to
brave it. At 9 o'clock this morning the
mercury had dropped to IA deg. above
zero and the velocity of the wind had
increased to forty-eight miles per hour.
The work done yesterday in the way of
repairing the telegraph wires leading to
the city and clearing the distractions
from the railroad tracks, was to large
extent undOne by the wind of last night
and to-day. A force of linemen that
started out from Philadelphia arrived
in this city early this morning. Between
Philadelphia and Washington they re-
moved from the railroad track over 700
telegraph poles. The cutoff between
this city and New York seems to be
hopeless for the present at least, and
there appear to be no chance of re-es-
tablShing communication as long as the
weather continues to be so severe. Last
night the wind blew down all the poles
along the Metropolitan branch of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and to-day an
effort is being made to repair the dam
age. 1t is difficult to get men
to work and more difficult for them to
accomplish anything when they attempt
it. Telegraph men state the wreck of
the lines is the worst they have ever
known. The railroad situation is prac-
tically unchanged since yesterday. No

BERLIN, March 13.-Emperor Freder

refused to be carried to his apartments
in sedan chair. He mounted the stairs
two steps at a time. After short rest
he wrote until a. m. rose at a. m., re-
ceived Prince William and breakfasted
with the empress and children, then
transacted business. Bismarck's oral
reports occupied several hours. In the
afternoon the emperor dined Ell FAM
melle, continued working until even-
ing, occasionally addressing his attend
ants. His voice is audible, but very
hOarse. The physicians ars satisfied with
his condition. The emperor will take the
oath according to the Prussian consti-
tuition in the presence lof the oberhaus
and unterhaus at CharlottenbuIg on
Saturday. The presidents and !. vice
presidents of the two chambers to-day
received oral report from Gen. Winter
field, and afterwards were received III
audience by Prince Bismarck and Count
Won MOltke. Owing to the immense
crowds wanting view of the remains
of Emperor William, the time for adj
mission of the public has been ex-

A GLOOMY OUTLOOK.
Hotels and Restaurants Closed,
Meat and Milk Getting Scarce.

NEW YORK, March 13.-This after
noon things assumed a slightly better
aspect, but the majority of business
houses are either closed or practically
so. Not a surface railroad company
made any attempt to run cars. Elevated
railway trains ran with irregularity dur
Ing the afternoon, and with a few sleighs
out were the only means of convey
ance. Broadway and other great north
and south thoroughfares are wellnigh
impassable with mountains of snow
sh0veled from the sidewalks. The
majority of the cross streets
are QuagmireS of soft snow
one to three feet deep. AT
5 O'Clock this evening fine penetrating
snow is still falling. No milk has been
received in this or the neighboring cities
of Brooklyn and Jersey City for thirty
six hours, or if received, cannot be dis
tributads on account of the impossible
conditaslfof the streets. No butchers,
milkmen, grocers or other carts are Wis
ible. Ali provisions are delivered by
hand, the men foundering painfully
through the drifts. Coal even is being
carried in a thousand places by bag,
basket and bucketful, and, in poor quar-
terS on the East side, the price is nearly
doubled. A number of restaurants were
compelled to close their doors, being un
able to get either fuel or provisions.

IN PHILADELPHIA.
Railroad Traffic Almost Entirely
Suspended.

PHILADELPHIA, March 13.-The Sc
we're storm which commenced in this
vicinity Sunday evening still RACES, so
far aS drifting of snow is concerned, and
the herculean efforts of railway officials
have SO far been fruitless in getting
various lines into successful operation.
The wind has continued to blow all
day, and thousands of labOrerS, who
have been digging at mountains of snow
and ice on various lines leading into
this city, have had disheartening tasks.
Many of the cuts would fill almost as
fast as drifts were removed, and they
would be obliged to start again at the
beginning. The loss to the commercial
interests of Philadelphia can not be
estimated in dollars and cents, and the
time which will be required to put rail-
road andtetegfaphic traffic in its normal
condition Can not even be estimated.
Railroad lines made but little effort
to-day to operate their roads, and with
the exception of few suburban trains
and train or two from the main line
of the Pennsylvania railroad little or
nothing has been done. The day eX-
press which was due in this city
yesterday over the Pennsylvania road
from the West reached the city at
1880 this morning, and the Chicago
limited, due here at 5 o'clock last
night, followed it fifteen minutes
later. These trains were far more
successful In reaching their destination
than were two trains which were dis
patched for Harrisburg and the west
this morning, but which are stuck at
Wynnewood, suburban town. After
this failure no effort was made to send
trnt fo fI,ka
main line. Three trains were SEM out,
and the same number arrived on Ger
mantown and Chestnut Hill branches,
the last of which broughtin alarge gang
of laborers who had been fighting the
elements all day. No trains were run on
the Central or New York divisions. The
New York division is completely closed,
and the newspaper train which left
New York at 80 Monday morning has
not yet reached this city. 1t is reported
here that it is laid up near Princeton,
N. j., with several others beyond it.
From this end trains have gone as far
as Bristol, Pa, where they still remain.
Large gangs of men are being sent out
tonight on different branches of roads
to relieve those who have worked all
day. A Pennsylvania official said to-
night that as the company had got the
line cleared 10 WlUnln SnOrU distance
of Trenton, the New York division
would probably be opened for traffic to-
morrow. The same official said the
company had very few passengers to
send out, as the arrivals were so limited
in number, and that until the company
was advised the road was clear, no
further effort would be. made to
dispatch trains. On the main line the
principal trouble is between Paoli and
Parkersburg, a distance of between
twenty and thirty miles. The condition
o. affairs on that piece of road is de-
scribed as the worst ever known in the
history of Eastern railroads. No wrecks
have been reported to-day on the various
day. Fortunately, none of those were
attended with fatal results, although
several train hands received painful in
jurieS.

MYSTERIOUS DEATHS.

Special to the Globe.
MASON CITY, To-, March 13.-The
mysterious deaths in the Brown family,
residents of the north part of this coun-
ty, has been the absorbing topic of con-
versation to-day. The particulars, as
near as we are able to learn, are that on
Friday evening as the family, consisting
of Hiram E. Brown, his wife, two
children and Fl. l.. Brown, father of IL.
E., were seated at the supper table they
were all taken with violent pains, ac-
companied by nausea. All being deathly
sick, no assistance could be summoned,
night as best they could. In the morn
ing one of the neighbors found the fam
lily in this terrible plight. During the
night the aged father died, and about
noon Saturday the youngest son sue
cumbed to the inevitable. The remain
ing three are still very low and it is
thought they cannot long survive. The
exact cause of death yet remains
mystery. 1t is evident that the family

but in what manner cannot as yet be
ascertained. The two that died have
been buried without an autopsy, but
the feeling is such now that their re-
mains will be exhumed, cOroner's jury
impaneled, and some of the mysteries
connected with the deaths cleared away.
The attending physicians say nothing
as to the cause. The family ate some
molasses candy during the meal, and
the poison might have been in the ex-
tract used in flavoring. Some think
that trichina in the pork was the prOba-
BILE cause, while others suspicion foul
play somewhere. A hired man left the
employ of Mr.. Brown about week ago,
but nothing can be learned of the feel
ing between the two prior to the de-
parture. The deceased has been resi-
dent of Cerro GordO county since 1856,
and has held many official positions in
the county. He leaves an aged wife,

MUCH SUFFERING.

Are Suffering Terribly.
Special 10 the Globe
New YORK, March 13.-There are a
number of snOw-bound trains on the
Long Island railroad, between Green
port and Jamaica, and there is said to
be much suffering among the passen-
gers. The waiting rooms at the depot
in Long Island City are crowded with
people unable to get trains or to return
to their homes. Snow plows have been
sent out from different points on the
road. One plow and relief train, which
left Long Island City at noon, succeeded
in reaching Jamaica about 5 O'Clock
this afternoon, clearing one track, and
train carrying 800 passengers from
Snow-bOund trains east of Jamaica
got through to Long Island City
These passengers had been in the cars
for twenty-fOur hours. Among them
was Austin Corbin. Four trains from
Port Jefferson, Locust Valley, Green
port and Hampstead have not yet been
heard from, and are supposed to be ly-
ing near Garden City. The North Shore
division is still closed, as are all lines
ing and high wind prevails, so that
there is no likelihood that traffic can be
resumed before Thursday. The roof of
the town hall and of residence in
Jamaica have been carried away by the
wind. At Brooklyn the situation re-
manned about the same as yesterday.
No cars have been run on the surface
roads during the day, and business has
been practically suspended. Trains
were run on the elevated road under
eight minutes headWay.

trains are arriving from further north
than Baltimore and none are being dis
patched AS there is no telegraph COM
munication, the railroad officials have
no information as to when to expect
trains OF how far train leaving here in
the direction of New York would be
likely to go. The Pennsylvania line
stopped selling tickets this afternoon to
any point further north than Baltimore.
Communication with the south from
Alexandria has been restored and to-
day the Western Union sent large
force of operators there, where business
will be relayed and sent to this city by
train. The mail service is demOralized.
The only mail closed and sent north to-
day was at 1870 this morning. Trains
left the city for Baltimore on schedule
time. but the trouble was that there
were no postal cars or postal clerks to
send with them. The cars and clerks
that should be here are delayed at
points en- route to this city. The mail
which left at II 80 was the mail for Bal
timore, Philadelphia, New York and the
New England States. Trains from the
West by the Baltimore & Ohio are ar
irving on time.

LYING IN STATE.
The Dead Emperor Lying i'm State
---Scenes at the Cathedral.

---SCeneS AT the CaUneufal.
BERLIN, March 13.-A living wall Of
martyrs to loyalty and curiosity pa
tiently waited to enter the cathedra
yesterday. Men could hardly be dis
tlnguished from women on account Of
the thick cOatings of snow which COW
cred their garments. The back portion
of the cathedral has been converted
into sloping platform. This is COW
cred with black serge, and is intended
for tie reception of the floral offerings
of the public. On either side of the
altar stand laurel trees and lofty
exotic plants embedded in masses Of
flowers in full bloom, including
large camellias and thousands of snow
blossoms. Palm branches of colossal
dimensions conceal the granite columns.
A continuous stream of people passed
over the bridge which has been erected
in the cathedral and which affords a
view of the catafalque. No person was
allowed to stop on the bridge. Prince
Bismarck stood for an hour superin-
tending arrangements and giving final
orders, during which time fifty stalwart
gardes du corps, with fine features and
dressed in Snowy uniforms and helmets,
bearing silver eagles all men picked
from the first families in the land, laid
floral wreaths at the feet of the dead
emperor and then knelt and recited a
short prayer. Prince William ordered
that the thick white veil which almost
completely concealed the emperOr's
face be removed. This was replaced
after the guards had taken their final
look at the dead. The same thing was
afterwards done when contingents OF
Emperor Williams favOrite regiments
were present on the same sad errand.
1t is supposed that the veil, previous to
being put to its present use, was i'm
mersed in some kind of preservative
liquor to prevent the color of the face
suffering from contact with the air.
This morning only artists, phOtOgra-
pliers, newspaper men and court ladies
were admitted to the cathedral.
