FORTY FEET OF SNOW.
Counties I'm New York Buried Out
of Sight in Snow.

KINGSTON, N.Y. Feb. 13.-The north
east wind which began drifting the
snow that fell thick and fast Saturday
morning, died away during that night
and not so much drifting resulted as
railroad men and highway commission
ers expected. Nevertheless great deal
OF shoveling and running steam ShOvels
was necessary yesterday, and by dint OF
good management the railroads running
through and centering here will have
trains running on time to-day. The
new fall of snow, added to the immense
drifts in Sullivan and Delaware cOun-
ties, has made much work for farmers,
but more particularly dairymen, some
OF whom are still hard at work shovel
ing. If half the truth were told about
drifts in localities in Sullivan county,
the average reader would say that the
reporters had been reading Baron
Munchausen and had been impressed
by the authors long bow style. 1t is
fact that people, instead of cutting
away drifts between their house and
the highway dug tunnels, some of them
over 100 feet in length, and scores of
people were compelled to shovel stead
lily the greater part of the week. When
the great mass of snow meltS, il there
should be heavy spring rains. severe
floods will be inevitable, and people
will take time by the forelock by pre-
pairing for great freshet. For miles
snow can be found four feet in depth
on the level, and drifts thirty and forty
feet or not uncommon. At recent fu-
neral of CallicOOn Sullivan county,
woman the mOurners spent over two
days shOveling their way to the ceme-
terry, and one of the tunnels which they
built was thirty-eight feet III length and
through a drift twenty-seven feet in
height. The mOurnerS were assisted
by people all around the country side,
and finally on the third day the body of
the dead woman was buried. This is
not an isolated case. it having been re-
peated score or more times in many
neighborhOOds. Over great territory
wells and streams are buried so deep
that their exact location is a matter OF
some doubt, and water is obtained by
melting snow.

as there is only sl30,000 to be expended
for street lighting, and the present cost
is at the rate of Sl5S,000. He offered an
amendment that the committee recon-
mend that the committee OH gas be
authorized TO designate the number of
lights to be taken from each ward, the
aldermen of each ward to specify what
particular lights shall be taken.
Aid. L'Herault wanted the curtall-
ment of lights to Ice made pro rata IN

TO avoid discrimination.
Aid. Erwin intimated that political
Scheming was at the bottom of the reSo-
luton.
J. w. Lawrence appeared as the rep
resentatiVe of the Globe Gas Light COM
pany, and stated that if the lights were
cut down the contracts with the differ
ent lighting companies will be inter
fered with, and the city can be held for
lights ordered up to the limit of $3.50, 600.
In increasing the number of lights he
claimed the Globe company had been

and the Globe only so per cent. Aids

ments, and vote was taken on Aid.
