A SEVERE STORM
Of Snow and Wind Visits the
Eastern States,
which Plays Havoc with Telegraph and
Other Electric Wires.

The eastern part of Pennsylvania was
visited by severe snow-storm Satur-
day and Sunday morning. Passengers
from Philadelphia report that the storm
was very severe there, great havoc be-
ing done to the telegraph and telephone
wires, and telegraphic communication
is practically suspended. The Western
Union wires at Harrisburg, Pa, are
working westward, but Philadelphia,
Reading and Washington are shut out,
while Baltimore and New York
are being reached by long and
circuitous route. The postal
has no communication at all.
Sixty breaks have been found to point
few miles outside of Harrisburg. II
will take a month to repair all the tele-
phone wires. 1t is feared the high wa
ters in the Susquehanna will cause
damage at certain points badly situated
for flood. The storm which set in
at IL o'clock Saturday night and con.
tinued until noon Sunday in New
York was the severest OF the season
thus far About six inches of snow
fell, and it was of. the wet, clinging
kind that fastened itself to every thing
it touched, loading trees until they
were shorn of their branches, or fell
prostrated with their trunks snapped at
though they had been mere twigs, and
clinging to the electric wires until they
gave way under the pressure and broke
in all directions, or until the poles on
which they were strung fell, crushed by
the immense weight.
