From Surrounding Tdwns.

It will not be surprising to hear reports to- day that persons have been found frozen to death Many who yentured out last night and had far to go, must surely have lest their way. It is a regular northwsstern blizzard and no mistake. At Meriden traffic iS at 8 standstiM. The 7:31 a. m. Consolidated train north is fast in the drifts at South Colony street. Five engines worked all the afternoon to move the train, but unsuccessfully. Below, at HoIt's Hill, the $40 a. n1. train north is fast The il :02 a. m. train due in Meriden is fast at Berlin. No street cars were run, the stores were all closed and the schools dIs- missed.
 At Bridgeport the storm is the severest known to the oldest inhabitant. No trains were sent out on the Housatonie and Nauea- tnck reads. The New Milford special was three hours late, and was unable to proceed farther. The train due from New Haven at Two trains are snow bound between Bridge East Bridgeport. Stores are closed and business is generally suspended.
 At Waterbury the stores, schools, and factories were elesed. Travel is entirely blocked. Trains are showed in here and at other points near by. Telephone communi- cation is cut off from all towns north.
 The storm has completely paralyzed travel and business in Hartford. No trains have arrived from anywhere since yesterday morn ing. Horse cars were withdrawn from all lines at noon. No casualties, but several narrow escapes from death by exposure are

Telegraph Wires All Down.

AS the storm progressed the telegraph service became bad. At :50 there was only one wire between this city and New York, all the others being broken. At that hour this last wire broke, shutting out all commu- nication with New York. All the wires between here and Boston were also broken. Communication could be had for time with places in the state, until late in the afternoon not wire running into the Western Union office could be used. No Associated Press dispatches were received last night. During the day messenger boys could not make deliveries. The last wire between here and New York broke in the middle of the account of the elevated railroad accident.

On the Sound.

No vessel could have stood it long on the Sound. The steamer New Haven left Belle dock at 3 o'clock yesterday morning, but it is the opinion of the New Haven Steamboat company's officials that she did not venture outside the harbor The steamer John H. Starin. which should have left Sunday night at 10:30. did not get started until o'clock yesterday morning. It is thought by the Starin company's officials that she did not get outside of the hsrbor. The steamer Elm City, which leaves Belle dock for New York at 10:30 a. m., did not start out at all. In fact, no boat of any kind left the docks yes terday. The steamer Erastus Corning left New York for New Haven Sunday night. It is suppesel she is harbored somewhere.

Most everyone got to their work yesterday morning, but very few got home last night, especially the working girls. They either stayed in the shops or went to hotel. It was all man could do te brave the storm, lot alone woman's trying to overcome it.. The girls iu the shops in West Haven had to stay there all night. All the shops shut down early to give all the employees a chance to get home. Two girls who had taken refuge at the selden House attempted to go home about g o'clock. They got as far as the corner of Court and State street, and the storm was 50 blinding that they had to return home

A party consisting of Ed Hall, Walter Nichols and son of F. s. Andrew got start ed on the g o'clock train for Branford, and when the train got in the cut at Fair Haven East it was stalled.

The schools Clese.

A good many children did not goto school yesterday, but those who did go were soon dismissed, as Superintendent Dutton sent word to all the principals of the various schools to do so. At the High school two boys were sent home with each girl, to see that she got home safely. At the other schools the boys had to see that the girls all got home. Many of the teachers waited in the buildings expecting the storm to abate, but it didn't and the consequence was that they didn't go.home at all. They stayed all night at places near the schools.

Horse Cars Cease Running.

All the horse car roads started cars out early yesterday morning, but it was not long before they were all taken in, or at least those that could get to their destination Most of the oars were stalled along the route and had to be abandoned. The Fair Haven route in the afternoon started 8 car out with eight horses attached, and it came down State street shortly after three o'clock. No more followed. President Warren and Super intendent Wells of the State street line were out with their sweepers and worked vigorous ly to make way for their cars, but did not succeed. One good thing that the car sweep CTS did and that was to make path which made it easy walking. On the Fair Haven and on the West Haven roads many cars 1KAra snoNad in

 The concert by NJ. NJ. Fonaroff, the violin ist, has been postponed on account of yes terday's storm and will take place at the Atheneum Wednesday evening, March 21. Tickets are good for that date. It will be a treat for lovers of music. There will be prominent local talent to assist. The pro- gramme has been published in the COURIER
 BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 The tickets purchased for yesterdays per formances at the Grand Opera House are good for any day of the week. The attrac- tion this week is Reilly and Woods big com bination. The company numbers some of the best performers in the speciality line. Their comic business is absolutely funny without descending to the amount of horse play so ofteniintroduced by travelling spe- ciaity companies. In the company is Bobby Gaylor, one of the best Irish delineators on the stage; Pat Reilly, the great caricaturist; the wonderful Nelson family and forty other performers.
 . SYMPHONY CONCERT.
 The Boston Symphony concert at the Hy- perion Theater Thursday evening will ats tract large and cultivated audience. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: "The plat form was completely filled by the Boston Symphony Orchestra of sixty-fve musicians. The appearance of Herr Gericke, the re- nowned orchestral leader, was the occasion of burst of welcoming applause The first chord of Weber's overture to Der Freis- chuetz rose with wonderfully perfect cres- cendo, that told at once the splendid instru- mental resources of the orchestra, and the splendid mental resources of the leader, who could so graduate the multifarious forces at his command. For so lucid, complete, and edifying an interpretation of a familiar work, the audience manifested it's highest apprecia- tion, and Mir Gericke was twice recalled"
 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 The last three days of this week Robson and Crane will appear at the New Haven Opera House in Bronson Towards new play, "The Henrietta" An exchangeIsays: "The Henrietta" is far better play than "The Great Pink Pearl," and is therefore by so much the best play of the season at this date. It is the best comedy that Mir. Bron- son Howard has written, and the best and truest comedy that American dramatic talent has yet produced. It may be recorded as the best Am erican comedy thus far written. Besides this, it is the best play that Robson and Crane have appeared in during their partnership, except "Twelfth Night" and not excepting "A Comedy of Errors;" and it is the best in the results to them in their in- dividual impersonations that they have ever had. The ruccess with the audience was in- stant and decisive and will be with every audience it has,"
