ALMOST A BLIZZARD.
Twelve Inches Of Snow Fell Dur
ing the Night-Trayel Not
Seriously Interrupted.

When the residents of JerseyiCity look
ed out of their windows this morning
they Thought another blizzard had
visited the town. High banks of snow
were piled against their doors and fences.
and the air was filled with flying
flakes, which stiff wind was driving In
drifts along the streets. 1t tried bard to
snow all day yesterday, but did not
settle down in earnest until about eight
O'Clock. At midnight the ground was
covered TO the depth of three or four
inches and the snow was still rapidly
falling.
The railroad companies kept their snow
plows moving over the tracks and horse
car travel was not seriously interfered
with. The milkmen and butchers who
are obliged to be out in the early
hours of the morning were not SO FORUM
ate. The heavy trucks frequently be-
came stalled in the drifts and the milk
men who were not SO fortunate as to be
out with sieighs, often had considerable
difficulty iu getting along.
When the staid citizen started for his
place of business he found the snow over
his shoe tops and if he had failed to pro-
vide for that contingency he regretted it
before he reached the corner to take the
horse car.
The companies had cleaned the tracks
and doubled their norses SO that but
little delay was experienced in getting to
the ferry. The boats were also run on
good time. The teams seemed
to be the greatest sufferers
from the miniature blizzard and had
considerable difficulty in plowing
through the drifts on each side of the
tracks. The Pennsylvania Railroad ex-
perienced little trouble from the storm
with local traffic. All the trains
as far south as New Brun s.
wick were on time. Phila-
delphia trains were few minutes behind,
and the Cape May express reached the
station in this city forty-two minutes late.
Southern and Western trains were badly
delayed. and arrived all the way from
one to four hours late. The telegraph
companies were not hindered by the
storm.
Travel was also delayed on the elevate
roads in New YORK, and the surface cars
experienced considerable difficulty in
getting through.
1t was officially stated at the Weather
Bureau that between IL and IL inches
of snow had fallen. The indications are
that the snow will last some time. 1t
promises to be colder until Monday, and
there will be at least two days of good
sieighing.

of his bandsmen, he had played an ea-
gagemenr during the Exposition in that

Coiumbu parades, and although fattgued
by the long journey from the PACING
coast, was at the head of his organization
on he day OF the military parade.
Upon this occasion he contracted a
severe cold and the exposure also atfecteo
his heart trouble.
Since the celebration the band leader
had been very little out of the house. The
coughing spells which the cold induced
were great strain on his affected heart,
and his physicians during the past IeW
day. had advised perfect quiet and even
forbade callers to talk to aim for any
length of time.
Last night Mr.. Cappa seemed as well
as could be expected in the circumstances
and did not retire. At half past one
O'Clock this morning he was talking
pleasantly with his wife. An hour and
half later he called her to his side.
He was sitting in comfortable arm
chair. :.
"Give me more air; I can't breathe" !"
gasped he, and his wife fastened to lift
the window.
When she had thrown the window up.
letting In the cold air, she came quickly
back to her husband to ask him now he
felt.
To her horror. he was dead. During
the brief space of time that she had occu-
pied in reaching the window, he had
fallen back in the chair, dead man.
Heart failure is said to be the direct
cause of death.
At the time of Mr.. Cappa's death his
band was playing in Liederkranz Hall,
in Fifty-eight street. near Lexington ave-
nue., at the Grand Bachelors Ball. 1t
was near the end of the dance programme
when Serano Cappa, decease's crippled
