The second chapter In the blizzard which
made its appearance Saturday came yes
terday and destroyed considerable work
which had been done In the line of clearing
away the snow of Saturday and Sunday.
All during the afternoon flakes came

were no signs of abatement. The wind
breeEed up and during the evening IL was
q partial drizZle.
During the day yesterday a number Of
the employees OF the highway department
were csrting snow from the streets while
the sidewalks were invisible In many
places. II the police would enforce the
ordinance relative to the removing snow
from the sidewalks some of the wealthy

fall of snow the less attention IL paid to
removing 1t. Some OF the trains were a
little late and during the evening the
streets were deserted.
The Unemployed and Poor.
Business began decidedly brisk at the
Overseer of the Poor's office yesterday
morning, q large number being present
long before the regular hours for trans
acting business began. There Is q de-
cided change In the character OF persons
who usually call for aid, and that work Is
scarce is evident by the number OF men
who appear aud request aid. Not far
from Broad street was found q sad case
Yesterday afternoon, whioh was reported
to two charitable women who have done
much good work In quiet way. This
particular family comprises father who
is confined to his bed with consumption,
q mother W mo last Thursday fell and was
quite badly injured, and two small child
rem who are not blessed with sufficient
wearing apparel to allow them to go out
of doors this weather. There was no coal
to speak of, and scarcely enough food In
the house for one person. There were
prescriptions for the slcN father but they
had no means of getting them filed as no
money was available. The ladies pro.
cured fuel, medicine and q large amount
Of eata bles, and will keep a general over
sight over the family for awhile. At
Overseer of Poor Bakers office there is a
continuous demand for children's wear
ing apparel, and all that can be spared
and left with or sent to him will be dis
tributed.
