covered as yet from the effects of the
severe storm. Passenger trains over all
the roads are running irregularly and
from an hour to two hours behind time
Local trains are also very late. No eff
fort has as yet been made by any of the
roads to move freight. The Pennsylvan-
la Railroad from New Brunswick east
is quite clear, but it is impossible for
the trains to make anything like sehed-
uled time. The company has at least
a thousand laborers at work clearing
the tracks, but their progress is slow.
None of the Western trains which
were due this morning had been reported
at noon. There is big blockade near
PHILADELPHIA which the company hopes
soon to clear.
Assistant Trainmaster Black said this
morning that probably no effort would
be made today to start any trains for
West of PHILADELPHIA or South Of Wash

these points is such that it would De
folly to start trains out. 1t is expected
by night, however, to have the passenger
line to Philadelphia opened and trains
running as regularly as can be expected.
NO EFFORT TO MOVE FREIGHT.
No effort has been made to move
freight. Hundreds of men sare at work
clearing the Meadow tracks and local
yards, and it is hoped. that everything
will be in condition by Tuesday at the
latest, to dispose of the great bulk Of
showed up freight that will pile in. Ex-
ira men will be put to work to meet
the emergency. The Pennsylvania Rail
road will. beyond doubt, be the first of
the big systems TO be in perfect shape.
The Central Railroad IS still badly
e-.Splea. The main line is open to Plain
field ana locals from that point are max
ing only fair time. Commuters are kick

fectually blocl1sded between Bound

has been impossible to get train
through. The Philadelphia express due

New York Branch was opened this mora
ing and trains are running pretty close
to schedule time. The number of locals
has been reduced until the tracks are in
better shcpe. Heavier trains are being
run to accommodate the travelling pub
lie.
The Long Branch Division, over which
the Pennsylvania Railroad runs, is open
as far as South A1nboy, but trains are
from two to three hours late. The Sc
