HOW NEW YORK EARED.
Poles Fell Like Giant Trees In Fo,.

NEW YORK, January 26 The storm last
ed just IL hours. From O'Clock until noon
poles In various parts Of the city kept falling
In quick succession, endangering the lives OF

The tallest and biggest poles which cross

treets became rivers of slush.
Inc ambulance service from various hos
ltals was badly crippled and several per.

Moderate figure. At Elizabeth, N. j. the
