snow and it will take several days to| complete the task.
 Among the damage reported yester- day as having happened in the city as the result of the blizzard was the un- roofing of the large shed at the New Haven wood ward. The loss occasioned thereby will amount to about $2OO. A large shed at the county jail on Whal- ley avenue used as storage place TOT lumber was blown down early yester- day morning. Il The shed was about 100 feet in length and the damage done will be about $150 worth.
 Early yesterday forenoon portion of the wall of the Crown street side Of the Central house building at the cor ner of Church and Crown streets fell, probably because of the swaying of the building by the gale. About ten square yards of wall fell, scattering brick and debris over the sidewalk below. A newsboy named Edward Alderman of Mo- 55 Union street happened to be walking down Crown street on the walk where the bricks fell He was struck in the head by some of the debris and Vas rendered unconscious. The few pedestrians on the street who wit messed the accident hurried up and sup posed the boy was dead. The police ambulance was called and by the time it arrived young Alderman had regain ed consciousness. He was taken to the New Haven hospital, where it was found that he had been badly bruised on the head, but that his injuries were not serious.

 Trolley Cars Caught i'm Drifts.
 During theN blizzard Saturday night cars were stalled on nearly all the local trolley lines, some of them for several hours, the snow having drifted over the tracks to such an extent as to preclude the possibility of a car continuing on its trip until it had been burrowed out by the snow blows. In some of these cars were number of passengers who were obliged to pass the night as best they could in the midst of the drifts, only the thin walls of the cars being be- l tween them and the bowling wind, driv- ;,,rr ;1ra I in drifts against the stalled cars. One car was caught on the Whitney ! avenue line near Grove street. It had 1 gone out Whitney avenue nearly to ] Lake Whitney when the conductor see- l ing that it could not possibly get 1 through to Centerville whither several of the passengers were bound, started !! back into the center of the city, but I when Grove street was reached the car 1 could go no further. The passengers made themselves as comfortable as 1 possible under the circumstances l Cars are still stalled this morning at the following points: One at Cottage ! street and Whitney avenue, two cars ! and a sweeper on Edgewood avenue ' near Ellsworth avenue, two on Edge wood avenue near Norton street, one 1 at Orchard street and Edgewood ave- nue, and one on Derby avenue near the i bridge over West river These cars have been at the points mentioned since Saturday night A number of the I street railway men whose cars were stalled near the No. engine house went over to that house and were very hos 1 pitably entertained by the firemen. Early yesterday morning Henry w. Sanford of 109 Ellsworth avenue waded ! through the snow to the engine house from his residence close by to see if the firemen and street car men had provisions. Later in the forenoon other citizens residing nearby dropped in with lunches and all in all the men in the engine house were well provided for. The street car men are high in their praises of Captain Condren's hospital ity and say that the men of No. are the best of hosts.
 At midnight last night the Fair Ha- ven and Westville tracks had been
 cleared from Fair Haven to Dwight street and the Whitney avenue division
 had been cleared from the Green to Cottage street. The Winchester avenue line was not attempting to run cars and the only portion of the line cleared of snow was on Church and Meadow streets. On the Fair Haven and Vest
 vile road cars were running nearly all
 day yesterday over a part Of the line and all last night. Forces If men were
 kept at work clearing the tracks all
 last night. It Vii probably be some
 time before all the lires will be in full
 working order.
 Snow Bound in Police Station. Two cars of the Dixwell avenue line were stalled in front of the Dixwell avenue police station Saturday night and the car men and the passengers spent the night in the station house, be- ing unable to make their way through the dgifted snow to their destinations. Three of the passengers were women and these were snow bound in the sta tion house until o'clock yesterday af- ternoon. The men managed to wade 1 out yesterday morning.
