City Done Up by Old Hiems-A 23-Foot
Drift in AIbany's StreetS--Worst storm
for Many Years.
New YoRK, March l3.-The hardest snow
storm of the year by far, ragged in New
York city Monday 1t began early in the
morning, and at O'Clock there was foot
or over on the ground. The high winds caused
drifts which, in the upper part of the city,
were three or -four feet high, Traffic was al
most suspended. Thousands of passengers
were blockaded ON the elevated roads Horse
cars were entirely unable TO move. People
who left up town by the elevated roads were
unable to get further than Eighth street by
the road, Many Of the more venturesome
descended to the street by ladders and walked
the rest of the way down town. People in
suburban towns found it almost impossible to
reach the city, so severe were the drifts
At T:l0 o'clock in the morning two trains
ON the Third Avenue Elevated road collided
at Seventy sixth street station. One train
was at the station unloading and taking on
passengers with which it was already over
crowded Owing TO snow ON the track the
train was unable to start. After il had been
standing about twenty minutes to the horror
OF all a train came rushing down the incline
from Seventy-tourth street and dashed into
the rear car The scene that followed was
Undesirable. The engine reared up on the
end of the last ear, and steam escaped in
great volumes, but fortunately rushed up
ward, thus saving the hemrned-in
crowd on the forward train as well as those
on that end of the platform. The engineer of
the rear train was killed and number of
passengers were seriously injured
At 8 in the evening there was no abatement
in the storm. The Thermometer lind fallen 10

numerous. and drug stores hive been filled

MrInrniIs, Anrecl,.

Mr.. Ingalls,, of Kansas, threw off the
mask the other day and made a plain bid
for the republican presidential nomina-
ton. His speech in the senate was an
appeal for support. There was no argu-
ment in it, 1t was not at any point re-
lieved or shaded by show of reasoning
That is not Mr.. Ingalls, way.
The main stock in trade Of the Kansas
senator is vituperation. AS a scold he
has very few equals in either house Of
congress. He does not depend upon n
logical handling of a subject to carry his
point or make an impression. He
possesses power as an ironical reviewer
when he begins to speak, but as he pro-
ceeds his polite sarcasm deserts and he
falls to and rails like very drab
When he got on his feet Mr.. ingalls,
uHwrapped the bloody shirt and before
he got well under way he was tapping it
with SAVIOR that t. reatened to rend its
tattered shreds still further. He reared
he shreked, he glared, he waved his
arms, he shook the shit. but that was all
he did There was no attempt at argus
ment, no effort to define an issue or to
manfully attack one already defined Mr..
ingalls, proved himself to be exactly what
Mr.. Blackburn said he was, "A mere
blusterer with a sharp tongue.
The senator from Kansas will learn on
the day that the next president of the
United States is elected that the people of
the United States, irres pective of section,
have no sympathy with the tiresome at
tempts of ambitious statesmen TO pun
themselves into place and power by re-
viviDg issues that have been long buried
and are Wondering in the grave of the
past.
Mr. ingalls, ought to know this now, but
he does not seem to. If he would com
mand the respect of his opponents, let
him deal with the living issues of today
There are enough of them to keep his
fiery tongue from now until after the de
feat of the republican candidate.
And that won't be Ingalls,.
