UNPRoMIsING OUTLOOK.
ALI Trains on Eastern Roads Run
at Great Risk.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Jan. 26.-The
te!egraphic situation here this morning
was not at all improved over that of last
uight. The Western Union has no
wires working in any direction. Man
ager A. G.. Sayler said at IL O'clock this
morning that the outlook was not
promising, though there was pOss-
bility of patching up communication
with Baltimore s0meStime during the
afternoon, and that Washington might
also be reached. There was very little
hope. he said. of opening any commune
cation to-day with points west of here,
the storm having been very destructive
in this section of country between Phil
adelphia and Harrisburg. Many poles
have been torn down or blown out OF
position, and considerable time will be
required to repair the damage Suffi-
ciently to open up communication. The
following was received from Harrisburg
by telephone:
Harrisburg Pa, via Reading, Jan. 26.-Au
the wires leading from the state capitol arc
down except the one TO Reading, and Harris
burg has no other communication with tho
rest of the world whatever. The PennsYl-
vania railroad wires and those OF the western
Union are down, and it is not known how
soon they will be repaired, although every
effort is being made 10 get them into working
order to secure the unning of trains safely
Very few traius can be run without wires
and these at great risk. Very little snow has
fallen, only two or three inches, but IL froze
into ice.

storm has wrought great damage along
the New Jersey coast between Sandy
Hook and Point Pleasant e ity. The
