SNOW STORM IN NEW YORK.
Railway and Trolley Line Trnfiic
Seriously Interrupted.

New York, Nov. ga regular mid
Winter snowstorm struck the city and
vicinity today. II came about noon. stay
ed all the rest of the day and most of
the night, leaving nearly a foot of snow,
and life was made generally uncomforta-
BILE. Tomorrow promises to be fine.
BY the middle of the afternoon there
was in progress what would have been
called a blizzard had the temperature
been - degrees lower, and the wind two
or three times as hard. The wind reached
the velocity of 36 miles.
The storm came from the West and was
central over Lake Erie this morning. BY
night it was central over the Jersey coast,
extending North as far as Boston. This
meant that the wind was to shift to the
northeast tomorrow, and the weather was
to be clear and much colder.
Up to O'Clock tonight eight inches of
snow had fallen with a prospect of its
going to an even foot before the storm
gave out.
Reports from the railroads aud trolley
lines show that there has been a serious
interruption to traffic On some trolley
lines particularly in the suburbs, the
cars have stopped running altogether.
The storm has been felt severely in New
England and New York State.
All trains arriving from the West are
from one to three hours late. The Penn
sylvania express for Pittsburg, which
starts at $3.50, had not left the yards at
IL: 80 tonight. being delayed in waiting
for the New York mails. The ferryboats
are running irregularly and slowly on
account of the danger of navigation in
the river. due to the binding storm.
The police have rescued large numbers
of people who had fallen exhausted in
the snow. Among these victims was Mrs.
Josie Small, nineteen years old, and her
five-year-oId daughter, who were over
come by the wind and snow on Ninth
Avenue. They Were unconscious when
picked up and the physicians at the
hospital said they would have both died
had they been exposed few moments
longer.

Sunday morning the snow was falling
rapidly in binding clouds.

Hooley andiEneii.h Mobility.

Gondon Correspondence New York Tribune.)
One effect of Hooleyism is already noticeable in
financial circles. Not only is it impossible to
induce titled personages to allow their names to
be used on the front page Of prospectus, but
it is impracticsble TO float new industrial COM
panies on any terms. Enterprises Of this kind
have fallen into disiavor since the Hooley dis
closures, and loud complaints heard in the
street over the depressed market for new issues.
Financiers and solicitors tell me that sound un-
dertakings, representing legitimate business in
terests and honorable methods of stock promo
ting now go begging whenever they are put on
the market This is because Hooleyism, with its
scandals, has discredited and tainted entirely
proper and regular agencies for recapitalizing
business concerns of admitted value. As is
frankly admitted in the Street, ''the bottom has
fallen out of stock promoting and only consols
and rails are respectable Meanwhile Mr. Hoo
ley is settling his old scores in his own way. He
is 4 singular study of moral obliquity in what
was acknowledged as high finance. He seems
utterly incapable of perceiving that there was
anything immoral or improper in bribing and
purchasing agents who might be useful in pTomot-
ing his mercenary ends lie can only fret and
fume because Others have prospered whereas he

was terribly beaten. The old man was

pulled her feet. She suffered great
agony but pleaded with her husband to
keep quiet.
Old Nominee was finally dragged into

Tracks on Aqueduct Bridge
The request from the Washington, Ar

pany, which has its northern termiaus at
the Virginia end of the Aqueduct Bridge,
that the Commissioners recommend that
Congress grant permission for the con-
struction of a single track across the
bridge, has been denied by the District
Commissioners.
The object of the railway company in
seeking such construction is TO have an
outlet for its road to the city. At pres
cnt the road extends only as far as the
lower end of the Aqueduct Bridge, and
the passengers have TO cross the bridge
by foot or in coaches.
The Commissioners have directed that
the manager of the road, r. II. Phillirs

ter of permitting the road to enter the
city by crossing the river on the b.idge
structure are expressed in a bi which
was presented to Congress authorizing

All the consular agents OF the United States
unite in referring to the growing taste abroad
for American beer 1t seems that the bottled
beers of ST. Louis and Milwaukee are sold even
in Munich and in Bingen on the Rhine. Once
tested, the lighter American beer grows in ia
vor, and, at the present rate of increase in de-
mand, it will soon rank abroad with American
pianos and cutlery and bicycles. Thus it seems
to be the mission of America, not only to invent
but to improve. the cherished special productions
of other lands. There is another feature of the
increase in the spread of Americas victorious
beer. Will the time come, when, in France
and Italy, American beer will compete with and
drive out the cheap wines? In America, GER
tainly beer is always consumed in preference to
cheap wines and in England the malt beyer-
ages have long since put the juice of the grape.

In some remarks upon village
improvement societies rs especial
ly exemplified by the organization
existing for that purpose in Stock
bridge, Massachusetts, the current
number of the Century suggests
that while the front yard, so to
speak, of small town is usually
we'll cared for, its backyard is
often shamefully neglected,
Especially that part of the vii
lage visible from the railroad. y
There is food for reflection for
Florence in this matter. 1t is a
very poor advertisement for a
town to exhibit its worst side to
the thousands of travellers who
pass through it on the railroad.
OF course many individual back
Yards abut on the railroad tracks
and some of these are dirty and
ugly while others are pleasant
little gardens. But there are also
streets and other public territory
that might easily be made more
presentable than they are and
legal means for suppressing pri-
vate nuisances visible from the
railroad might easily be put in
force.

or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
pecially for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of buffet
smoking-librarycar, palace sleep

cars. The buffet-smok{ng-library
chr is issomething new for Denver
