HOW THE SNOW CAME.
Enough of 1t to Make Up for
Lost Time.

The first snow Of the winter made its
appearance this morning in a manner
which brought down upon the head of
the author Of beautiful Snow" all the
maledictions which have been peacefully
slnmbering during the past pleas
ant month. 1t came attended
by fierce north wind which sent the
flakes hurry and scurry around corners
and into ones face with roar and sting
which called to mind the famous bliz-
zard of four years ago. 1t gave little
indication of its coming at midnight and
1t was half-past four this morning when
the first few flakes began to fall From
that time the storm increased, until at
eight O'Clock Six inches of snow had
fallen on level.
AS soon as 1t became evident that the
storm was in earnest the Jersey City and
Bergen Railroad got out its massive snow
plows and sent them out over the differ
ent routes.
The snow was heavy and packed hard,
and Notwithstanding the fact that the
ploughs were kept going constantly, travel
was much impeded in the early part of
the morning. AS the day wore on thu

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
had considerable trouble with the new
system OF pneumatic switches which it Is
usuing in connection with its elevated
system. The snow got jammed
into the switches and interfered
materially with their working. In con-
sequence there WAS much delay in get
ting trains in and out of the depot.
Although the trains were about
on time In arriving, they were
all delayed at the entrance to the depot.
There was also some delay in drilling the
trains. yet outward bound trains were, as
general thing, dispatched on time.
Navigation on the North aud East Riv.
ers was rendered dangerous by the thick
snow hurries, which shut out the view al
most as effectually rs a heavy fog, and
the ferryboats were run at slow speed.
No accidents were reported up to noon.
The snow did not stick to the telegraph
wires aud the companies experience no
troubls in receiving or transmitting mes
sages
The prospects are that the storm will
continue all day and during part of the
night. A cold wave has developed

when Policeman Murphy. attracted by
the racket, entered the store, and upon
the proprietor's COMPLAINT placed him
under arrest. Loefier refused to ac-

sidewalk and raped for assistance.
Policeman Kennedy responded, and the

the sidewalk kicking and shout

troll wagon and Leefer was hustled
into 1t and taken to the police station.
When searched at the police station, an
entire policy dealers outfit was found In
his pockets, also over $50 in cents, nickels,
dimes, quarters and half dollars.
Loetier remained in a cell all night,
and when arraigned before the Recorder
this morning, all the eviderce found on
him was submitted to the magistrate.

Health of the Survivors of the War.

While the health of some men has been
improved by their M AIRY service during
the war, even to the preservation of lives
that would have been lost had the owners
remained exclusively in civil life, the
health of the average veteran has been
deterioraUed by his service: and that he
suffers more from illness and has less
expectation OF life than other men of his
age. This conclusion, based as it is upon
an examination of the census data for a
