snow began to fall. About half past eight

which easily stopped the cars. One OF the
Main street cars got within q short dis
lance of the barn when it stopped. The
track was shoveled out to get the car into
the barn, Another car got stuck on Main
street near Sixth avenue. Others that were
out at the time had to be abandoned, and
there WAS a good demand for hacks. But
few people were out at the time and those
who had taken the cars were obliged tc
walk the rest of the way. TIL blockade il
but temporary, and it is expected that traf-
fc will be resumed as soon as men can gel

was not cold last night, but the wet. driv-
ing snow ~peltinR ones face and the walk

An old New Yorker who takes snuff
regularly wrote to Sanitary Superin-

using had caused in6ammatory symp-
toms which suggested poison. DR.. Edison
examined the sample of snuff which
was sent with the complaint and dis
covered that chromate Of lead known in
the trade as ''chrome yellow" had been
mixed with the snuff to brighten it.
He next ascertained where the snuff
was manufactured IN the city and
called the manufacturer for an explana-
ton Subsequently the manufactures
declared that he had used the poison
Gus color in the snuff by mistake, sup
posing that he was using . harm
less means Of improving the appear
ance of the article He promised to
stop using chrome yellow" and also
consented to destroy some Of his stock
which had been colored with it. Sew
eral years ago DR.. Edison destroyed
large quantities Of candy which had
been colored with chrome yellow"
and compelled the candy-makers to
stop using the poison.
