ONE We ssEL AT QUARANTINE.
Storm Tics Up Staten Island Ferry
boats and Trolley Cars.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 1Sg9.-The fearful
storm which prevailed all day yesterday
and last night along the shores of Staten
Island assumed blizzard proportions this
morning. The wind blows with increased
violence and together with the snow
which had drifted in many places has az
most paralyzed traffic. The trains of the
rapid transit railroad and the trolley cars
along the east shore are stalled.
The Staten Island ferryboats with much
difficulty succeeded in making a few trips
between st. George and Whitehall street
this morning. The upper bay presents a
wild and fearful aspect. The heavy ice
drift has been forced by the storm all
along the eastern Shore making navi-
cation difficult and perilous.s The air is
thick with drifting snow and objects on
the water are scarcely discernible hun
dred feet from shore
There has been no arrivals at Quaran-
tine since yesterday afternoon when the
Spanish steamer Cienfuegos from Cuba
succeeded in getting intoport. The lower
bay is one mass of ice. Several coast :
wise schooners are reported fast in the
ice in the lower bay.

SCENES IN GREENvILLE.
The Place Looked Much
Like a DESERTED
Village.

Greenville resembled a deserted village
yesterday and last night because of the
snawstorm. Scarcely more than one per-
son could be seen at one time, so pierre
ing was the wind and SO binding was
the snow. There is perhaps no section
of the city where the wind has wider
field for its eccentric pranks than in
Greenville, which is only sparsely set
tied in many places. Thousands of
snowdrifts that completely blocked side
streets could be seen, and more than one
unfortunate horse was unable to draw
loads through the drifts this morning;
Passengers bound for the city had most
unpleasant experiences in attempting to
board the trolley cars. as the corners and
crosswalks were piled high with the un-
pleasant dirty snow. thrown there by the
sweepers and scrapers. However, the
Traction Company had a force of men
out today cleaning paths at the corners
for passengers. The scenes along the
shores of the Bay are very beautiful,
the banks and trees being entirely Govt
cred with the fluffy flakes.

SCARCITY OF MILK
Borden Company Alone Has
Lost 10000 Quart
Bottles.

Probably not since the never to be for
such a scarcity of milk in this city. Thou
sands of families have been forced to go
without it during the past two days, be-
cause of the delays on the railroads and
the inability of retailers to reach their
customers. The large snow drifts are
responsible for the latter trouble as the
horses are Utterly unable to drag the wag-
ons through the enormous drifts.
Probably the greatest loser in this city
is the Borden Condensed Milk Co., which
has milk depot at Montgomery street
and Baldwin avenue Since Friday night
this company has lost more than 10000
quart botlets of milk. The milk in the bot
ties invariably becomes solid cake of ice
and breaks the bottles.
All day yesterday many employees were
kept busy wiping the moisture from the
side of the bottles to prevent them from
breaking. Several fires have been built
in the depot to thaw out the milk in the
bottles.
On Saturday the largest loss occurred
as double supply is always shipped to
the city to last over Sunday. Scarcely a
bottle that was shipped down from New
York State Friday night was in good
condition. Almost every one was broken
by the extreme cold. This was due to the
carelessness of the railroad employees, as
the fires in the milk cars were allowed
to go out.
The firm is now supplying its customers
as rapidly as possible Several extra
car loads of bottled milk have been sent
to this city.
The retail dealers could not begin to
take care of their trade yesterday morn
ing. The trains were stalled all along
the line and not until several hours af-
ter the trains were due did they arrive.
Dealers from as far as Union Hill and
Bayonne come to this city for milk, but
were unable to get supply as the trains
had not reached the depots.
