PHILADELPHIA PARALYZED
BY One ofthc Worst BIizzards in the
History Ofthe City.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 13.-After a
day Of heroic battle, all the human
forces that could be brought into play
against the elements have been forced
to succumb and tonight the city is fast
locked In the embrace OF the worst bliz-
Zard In the history of the local weather
bureau. Steam and local traffic are at
standstill and snow wrapped streets
are deserted. From S o'clock Saturday
night to the same hour tonight, there
has been 4 steady snow fall the aggre-
gate depth OF which at the latter hour
was l124 inches. The high winds have
whiried this into impossible drifts and
there Is no sign of the storms abate-
ment
While unusual in severity. the storm
did not have the fury OF a blizzard un-
I'll Tonight when the wind attained n
velocity OF forty miles an hour.
Early in the day the Pennsylvania
railroad succeeded in moving about
nifty per cent of its regular passenger
service. but no attempt was made to
move freight or coal trains. Through
trains to the west were abandoned
early, the last one leaving here at $50
this morning for Harrisburg AT last
reports 1t was stalled near Lancaster.
The western trains due here from
New York at 1925 and li:59 Il. m. we're
both between two and three hours late
and went no further than this city.
Early In the day the Reading railroad
posted notice that all train service
was abandoned until further notice.
The Baltimore & Ohio abandoned its
local service early in the afternoon.
The local trolley lines bnttled bravely
with the storm throughout the morning
but as road after road became stalled
further efforts grew fruitless ana to-
night there are practically no means of
transportation.
Railroad stations are crowded with
people and hoping for trains in and out.
There are a number OF deaths and
many casualties attributable TO the
prevailing conditions John W. Yea
mans, aged siXty-nine years fell dead
at Seventeenth and Cherry streets.
Benjamin Ieblcy, aged seventy years,
became unconscious on the street and
died within n few minutes.an James
Hall was found dead In a yard down
town. The ice on the Delaware river Is
growing thicker and there were no ar
rivals or clearances at this port to-day.

Der ofPittshurglIers Injured.


PITTSBURGH. Feb. 1.-THE south
bound Cleveland flyer on the Pittsburgh
& Lake Erie railroad. which left Cleve-
land at 1l:1S a. M, was wrecked this

about the head and arms; taken to the
hospital; Will live.
James B. Yohe, son of Superntend-
ent ]. B. fQhe, Of the Pittsburgh e.

rate OF speed required by the schedule
and the locomotive and several cars
We're badly damaged.
When the news OF the accident reach
ed this city. wrecking crew was sent
to the scene and physicians were sum-
moned from the nearby towns. The In
jured were removed from the wreck and
given as prompt attention as the cir
cumstances would permit. Ambulances
were called from the Homeopathic, the
Mercy and the West Penn hospitals and
We're at the Smlthfeld street station
ready to receive the injured persons
who were brought to the station. The
cold weather caused much suffering to
the injured and to those who aided In
their removal,
The train was composed of baggage
car. two ,day coaches and Il Pullman
parlor car. All were vestIbuled cars
and it was one of the crack trains on
the road. 1t Is one OF the fastest trains
in the country and makes the trip from
Cleveland in three hours.
1t is presumed that the broken rail
was one of the effects OF the extreme
cold. This is the first accident OF TIE
kind that has occurred In this part of
the country since the cold weather be-
gan.
The train left Cleveland at 11:lS a. IN.
and-i1n-am' time :oTYoungstown- At
that point two hours were lost and the
train ran on II siding near Fleming
Park to let another train pass. In run
ming off the switch the rail broke and
the locomotive was thrown from the
track and thrown over on its side. The
tender ran on for several hundred yards
before the air brakes took effect.
