THE STORM IN NEW HAVEN
(Contlnued from First Parel

the track faster than it could be moved and endorsements were sent Tor Engines and gangs of men are at present and were all of yesterday working on each division of the road, doing their best to clear away the snow so that traffic might be re- sumed. Up to midnight last night trains were running between here and NeW 4ork and between here and oprlngHeld only. The Air Line was closed because of the wreck at Say brook Junction. On the Shore Line, next in importance, the snow seemed to nave drifted higher, and although several engines and snow blow, with large force of workmen, were keep ing steadily at 1t, they had not sue ceeded in opening the line sufficiently so that traffic could be resumed. Two sections of Boston express train known as the Ghost" one made up of day coaches In which were four theat- rlcal companies, and the other of sleep ing cars, left New York at three o'clock yesterday afternoon. It reached New Haven at 7:55 and had not left at midnight. The theatrical companies were the "Geisha" the Sign of the Cross,' the "City Club and the Australian Burlesquers." They are all booked to begin engagements in Boston to-night.At ten o'clock train was made up here for Springfield and a number of the theatrical people left on that train, thinking they would make time. Some of them decided to remain over night and took rooms at the diff ferent hotels. The depot restaurant did land office business and they sold out everything they had Saturday night, and fresh supply received Sunday was all disposed of last night The New York Sunday papers did not reach here until about 4:30 in the af- ternoon. The train scheduled to leave New York at 4:30 8. m. did not leave until after seven. Many delays were necessary, the storm being especially heavy between Stamford and Bridge port, and the train was held in Bridge port several hours. A second section of the paper train arrived here at 4:55 The papers were not delivered, but were piled up against the depot. A train made up in Springfield, Mass, reached New Haven at 9:30. It left Springfield at 6:30 and running was comparatively smooth and compara- lively good time was made except the other side of Cedar Hill, where a de- lay of about a half hour was occa- stoned by an immense snow drift. Two engines succeeded in forcing a way through and the train came on all right. The cuts in both directions from the depots gave as much trouble as any portion of the road. The snow was blown from off the high bank and piled in the cuts fifteen and twenty feet high, and the most powerful ef- forts seemed almost frutless. The work was kept up, however, and the snow was finally cleared from one track in each direction. While at work in the cut near Grand avenue the water supply in the tender of one of the en- zines gave out The engineer and fireman went to a house near by, and attaching a garden hose to faucet, succeeded partially in filling the ten der, and were thus enabled to continue work. An engineer of one of the trains said last night that one reason for not trying to run the trains even on the lines which were opened was be- cause of the danger of the water sup ply giving out and the danger of an explosion in consequence. The Federal express from Boston, due here at 11:30 D. m., and running direct to Washing ton, did not leave this city until one o'clock yesterday afternoon. Among others on board were the members of the war Investigating commission. This train left at one o'clock yesterday afternoon and only went as far as Bridgeport, where it was again de- layed.
 At ten o'clock last night special train was made up for New York, with the only stop at Stamford. It was quickly filled to its capacity, but whether or not New York was reached in reasonable time is not known. All trains which left New York after s o'clock on Saturday night did not reach here until after o'clock yester- day morning, and they went no fur ther
 The local depot was crowded Satur- day night and all day yesterday with people desirous of going in different directions, and their many inquiries as to when they would be able to reach their destinatio were for the most part answered by 'I don't know" The officials were just as much at sea as to when traffic could be resumed as were the passengers. Every one seemed to take the matter good na- turedly and not many complaints were heard.
 The steamer Richard Peck did not reach here until about o'clock yester- day afternoon. She should have ar rived at 7:30 Saturday evening but be- cause of the storm was obliged to re- main in New York until g o'clock yes- terday morning. The sound was ex- ceptionally rough and there were but few passengers cn the boat who did not become seasick. One great wave washed up over the decks and carried about thirty camp chairs over the rail. WHAT MAY BE DONE WITH COLD
