THREE FATAL ACCIDENTS.
The Storm Shows No More Respect Tor Hu-
man Life Than for Properly.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 27-The
severity Of the snow storm throughout
Connecticut can be inferred from the
information CLEANED at the New York,
New Haven & Hartford headquarters
in this city, tonight. In general way
1t was said that the road was blocked.
No trains were running on the New
York Division, and westbound and the
eastbound trains were running very

Springfield, while the Air Line and
Shore Line divisions We're completely
blocked. Reports from all sections of
the state are unanimous as to the COM
plete suspension of trolley traffic, while
no effort was made to run the third rail
line from Hartford to New Britain.
The average snow fall is about 16
inches, but the wind that blew
throughout the day at a rate varying
from So miles to IS miles an hour, caus-
cd insurmountable drifts and in many
places it is thought it will take several
days before travel can be resumed
Three casualties have thus far been
reported An electrician in the employ
of the Hartford Street Railroad Co.
was killed by snow plow at Glaston-
bury, and two Italian shovellers were
killed on the Consolidated Railroad
tracks near West Haven. One of the
