Milwaukee, Special The blizzard
which started in Saturday morning
and of which Milwaukee is the CEN
Ter, still continues. twenty-five
inches of snow is reported by the
weather bureau to have fallen in this
city. The storm is said to be confined
to the eastern part Of the state. In
the battle between the storm and the
street railway the latter managed with
constant service to keep most of the
lines open. In the evening the traffic
became congeSted again as the wind
increased in velocity and blew the
snow back onto the tracks about as
fast as it is being cleared off. The
temperature has failed about twenty
degrees and the snow, which is still
coming down is not as heavy and wet
and easier to handle. Snow to the
depth of several feet is piled UP all
along the different lines of street rail
way and it will be many days before
it can be carted away. Railway
trains on all roads entering Milwaukee
are all the way from one to fifteen
hours late The wind is blowing strong
from the northeast but the indications
are that it will switch around to the
northwest, growing colder and clear
up. All the boats plying between
here and across the lake and northern
and southern points are accounted for.
Dispatches from different parts of the
state report the worst storm of the
season. In many cities street car
traffic was suspended Railroad
trains are all delayed and in some
places entirely abandoned.
