A Broadway car was temporarily de-
tanned by block of traffic at Fulton
street, when an old man, who had a seat
close to the front door, got up and
looked out on each side. Then he opened
the front door and looked out that way.
Then he tiptoed down the aisle and que
ried of the conductor on the rear plat

which has been so remarkable in its varied
characteristics, so disastrous in its effects
and far-reaching in the area of its sweep.
viii be recorded, especially in the log
books of the telegraph and telepho e com
panies as having equalled, if not exceeded,
the utter paralysis wrought by the great
blizzard of 1888. In truth, this has been
the Storm Kings carnival, and as the
sequel may prove, in many instances
carnival of death. Already, from numer-
truction and death; and until the restora-
tion OF telegra hie communication the eX
tent to which the seemingly wild rumOrs
will be borne out by actual facts is wholly
conjectured.
Originating near south Georgia or north
ern Florida, this resistless wave of devas-
tation swept DorthWard and easterly,
bearing down in its path telegraph wires,
swapping off trees and telegraph poles,
topping over chimneys, tearing off roofs,
aud crushing substantial. buildings.
Bounding over the Alleghenies, it fell
upon Baltimore, Richmond, Washington
and Philadelphia, in turn, scattering me-
mentoes OF its tremendous power.
In this city early in the Day the wires
south and southwest failed, until all COM
munication, outside of comparatively
small territory, was cut off. Struggle as
they would, the most expert electricians
could not, with all their ingenuity, devise
means of getting over or around the
trouble.
The storm seemed to divide itself into
two tremendous arms, branching from the
center in North Carolina, one arm bearing
down the coast, the other sweeping north
ward and veering north of Washington.
Describing a tremendous circle, bearing
down northwest, it passed successively
over lakes Ontario and Erie and finally
passed away to the northward, disappear
ing in Baffin's Bay.
Destruction in every direction is re-
ported, accurate reports OF which can
only be secured when the storm subsidies.
