A MINIATURE BLIZZARD.
II Started Like the Blizzard Of '88,
That Stopped All Traffic,
NEW YORK SHELTERS CROWDED.

Many women and Children who APP
piled For Shelter Were sent to the
Different HospitaIs-Tramc Not Sc
riously %Impeded.
New York, Feb. From 3 O'Clock
yesterday morning until after midnight
snow fell in his city and vicinity, and
last night a strong west wind and fail
ing temperature called forth many pre-
dlctlons of a blizzard. All day there
was a fog on the bay, in addition to the
binding snow, and traffic on the water
was impeded seriously. There was one
serious ferryboat collision, and many
accidents were reported. The steamer
Portia ran into the ferryboat Nevada
in the East river, injuring some of her
passengers
The cable and elevated roads in this
city and the trolley lines in Brooklyn
and Jersey City kept snow plows in
constant service, and were not badly
impeded. There were two serious blocks
of a half hour each on Broadway, and
trains on the Suburban Elevated road
and on the Staten Island Rapid Transit
were delayed in the early hours, and
an army of commuters got to business
late.
The cold weather filled the city lodg-
ing houses to overlooking, and many
women and children who applied for
shelter were sent to the different hos
pitfalls. Trains and railways terminal
ing in greater New York and Jersey
City were delayed by the storm, but
none to a great extent. Most of the
through trains We're from 20 minutes
to half an hour late. Local trains ran
close to schedule time.
The storm started like the blizzard Of
March II, 1888, that tied up traffic in
this city for several days. Weather
Forecaster Dunn said last night:
The weather conditions have taken
on a form resembling more the outline
of the blizzard than any other storm
that has appeared on our maps for
many years. During the blizzard there
was a storm central over the lake re-
gions and a secondary depression over
the South Atlantic states. This morn
ing almost exactly similar conditions
prevailed, with only a slight difference
in the localities of the storm center.
The storm over the lakes this morning
was well defined, but its secondary de-
preston differed a little from the biz
Yard, because this morning it was not
over the South Atlantic coast, but just
a little off the South tlantic coast
states"
The suspension of the snow storm
now seems to be permanent, however,
n unless it should be renewed there
seems to be no fear of a duplication Of
the blizzard of 'SS.
Miss Allie Hughes, Norfolk, Va, was
frightfully burned on the face and neck
Pain was instantly relieved by DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve, which healed the injury
without leaving a scar. 1t is the famous pile
remedy. G. II. Hagenbuch.
