READING. Pa, Jan. 26.-The worst now
storm for several years began today. The
snow is a foot deep on level, and is drifted
in some of the country roads so as to be i'm
passable. Some of the country mail stages
were unable to make their trips. Trains on
the Reading railroad and its branches, are
all late. In some places along the railroad,
the snow drifts are 10 feet deep. A similar
state of affairs exists throughout the coal
region. Not single colliery Is in operation
this afternoon, and not ton Of coal has
been shipped since yesterday. Two Coleman
furnaces at Cornwall, Litam county, and one
at Chestnut Hill blew out today, and be-
cause of the scarcity of coal it was impossi-
BILE to make repairs.
ALTOONA, Pa, Jan. 26-Continued snow
storms, high winds and heavy drifts have Sc
riously interfered with railroad travel
throughout Central Pennsylvania. The
trains on the main line of the Pennsylvania
road are from three to six hours late, de-
tanned by snow slides in Lewiston Narrows
and Spruce Greek. The limited east bound
train Is completely covered by a snow ava
lanehe, near Johnstown, and will be dug out.
