NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The predicted
snow storm arrived this morning Pc
destrians are few and far between. Sur
face cars are making poor progress in
spite of the fact that four horses are
trying to do the work of two. The nav
igation of the river and the bay is
seriously interfered with So far no ac-
cidents are reported. This storm which
promises to be the worst since the biz
zard of March, 1888, has been giving
the south a taste of it's quality. Since
early yesterday morning its center
worked its way up from Louisiana to
Tennessee. The storm depression is
trying to get up into the area of high
barometer in Lower Canada. As New
York is the center of it's track, she will
have full share of the depression. The
weather bureau sent out bulletins
last night to the offices OF
all the eastern railroads warn
ing them to look out for
heavy snow, and ordered the northeast
storm signals hoisted all along the At
lantic coast from Norfolk to Boston, and
along the gulf from Pensacola to New
Orleans. A lunar halo of 221e degrees
radius was in the heavens last night.
This, with other remarkable feats per-
formed by that luminary these last three
nights, set every old weather dog along
South and Battery streets busy prophe-
sying violent ebullitions of nature, in
the very near future.
The mails today are late in arriving,
the most serious delay being to western
and southwestern mails, over the Penn.
sylvania roads.
Today's snow storm was worse for
navigation than q fog. EVERYTHING in
the line of steam craft was delayed, and
the movement of sailing vessels sus-
pended.
