The Storm Was the Worst Ever Known
There - Everything Blocked by Huge
Drifts.
Bridgeville, Feb. 14.-People of four
score years and more have never before
witnessed such storm. Every street,
lane or alley is filled with snow A to IL
feet deep, blown there by the terrific
winds since Saturday.
This message was filed after plunging
through snow waist deep and often
much deeper.
No trains have arrived since Sunday
morning, and none are likely to arrive
for q day or two.
In all cuts near here the snow has
filled to depth Of many feet. Tele-
phone reports from Seaford are to the
same effect. The deep cut there had
yesterday afternoon feet of snow and
was filling rapidly.
The wind is blowing this morning
and it is feared the snow will continue
TO drift. y
Many people around Seaford and
Laurel are without wood for fuel and
it is impossible TO get any, roads being
imrassable. There may be much suffer-
ing.
A coal oil famine is also imminent.
The tank wagon from Georgetown sup
plies the stores, and by tomorrow night
nearly the entire town will be in dark
ness. Many people out of wood use oil
stoves, and the situation is serious.
Birds are focKing to town and are
found in great numbers frozen or
starved. The weather is intensely cold.

Easton, Pa, Feb. 13. Toward mid
night last night the blizzard set in
and the fall Of snow since that time
has been unprecedented. The wind is
blowing gale and the thermometers
register from 3 degrees above zero to
degrees below in the city limits. The
railroads are in n bad way. EARLY
trains on the Lehigh Valley system
were run on fairly good time, from ono
to two hours late and tho road is still
open from New York 10 Buffalo. Conl
and freight traffic has been suspended
and all efforts have been directed to
keeping the road open.
The Philadelphia paper train is
stalled on tho Bethlehem division of
the Philadelphia e. Reading road.
Three Belvidere & Delaware trains,
two passengers and a local freight, are
stuck near Riegelsville.
Every. highway leading to Easton
from the country districts is impossible
and none of the stage mails has arrived.
The schools are closed and business
practically suspended.

Lancaster AImo.t ,so,ated.

Lancaster, Pa, Feb. 13.-Lancaster
is almost isolated this morning. No
train has arrived here on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad from the West since 2
O'Clock this morning. The newspaper
train from the East, due hero at $50,
arrived at 10 o'clock.
Tho Quarryville railroad is COM
pletely showed up. The Philadelphia
& Reading started train away this
morning drawn by two engines. At
Dillerviile it struck snow bank which
derailed both engines and tho entire
train. The road is entirely tied up.
One section of the fast line on the
Pennsylvania railroad is fast in the
snow in the tunnel cut near Elizabeth
town and the other near Columbia.
The trolley lines in the city are run
ming, but all those leading to neigh
boring towns are covered by huge
drifts, and it is probable that they will
not be opened for couple of days.
Country roads are badly drifted and
in many sections impossible.

Dover, Feb. ID. THE storm prevail
ing in this section is the worst that
has visited here for number of years.
The streets and roads are impassable.
In the main street the snow is banked
to depth of from to 10 feet. Travel
is blockaded and but few people are on
the streets.
The situation among some of the
stores of the town is growing serious.
The beef shambles are entirely out of
meat and the coal dealers have but
little coal in their bins.
The Oldest citizens of Dover say the
present storm is the most severe since
1856. No trains are running and mono
are expected for several days. Work
men were put to clearing the railroad
tracks last night and kept it up till
this morning, when they were ordered
to stop till the storm abated.
There are two corpses awaiting in
terment here. One was TO have been
turied this morning and the other to
morrow afternoon. The prospects are,
however, that the interment win be
delayed for several days, as each one
is to be buried at a distance from here.

A COAL FAMINE IMMINENT.
Twenty Inenes d SNOW a narrIsbnrg.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 13. 3.-Harris-
burg, is stormbound. Twenty inches
of snow have fallen the past "a hours.
Traffic on the trolley lines is seriously
impeded and all the railroad lines are
blocked. Passenger trains on the rail-
roads reaching this city are from four
to eight hours late. The Philadelphia
newspapers, which usually reach here
ats O'Clock in tho morning, had not
arrived at II o'clock and there have
been no trains from Pittsburg since
last night.
The snow has drifted 10 feet high in
some parts of the city and business is
practically at standstill. Many of
the schools are closed on account of
the snow drifts and the inability to
heat the buildings.
There is much distress among the
poor of Harrisburg and the Benevolent
Society has issued special appeal for
funds to purchase coal for the needy.
The storm will interfere with the
work of the Legislature, and it is
doubtful if there will be quorum
present at the evening sessions of the
Senate or House.

Denver, COL, Feb. 13. The indica
tions today are that the storm which
has held Colorado helpless in its en-
brace for the past two weeks has ex-
bausted itself. The sun shone almost
all day yesterday and during the noon
hours was warm enough to melt the
snow. This change has enabled the
railroad people to prosecute the work
of clearing their tracks of the deep
snow more vigorously and it is an
nounced by the Denver d. Rio Grande
officials that they have succeeded in
opening the system with the exception
of the Blue RIyer Branch from Lead :
Vile to Dillon. The road is now clear
over Marshall Pass, and all delayed
trains are moving without interruption.

While Officer William Ward was
walking up Market street Monday
morning, he observed girl apparently
and Tenth. She was. very cold. The
officer took her to Cusick;s cigar store,
No. 2 West Tenth street, where she
was allowed to warm herself. Her name
was Annie Grayer, and she lived in
Brandywine. After she had recovered,
she was assisted to her destination on
Shipley street between Fourth and
Fifth.
A most interesting sight was man
on snow shoes. They were not the
snow shoes that the mind sees when
the subject of snow shoes is discussed,
which are the Indian variety wide and
crossed with meshes, but were the
Norwegian variety called skis. That
is long slender board turned up ut
the front. The board is about six feet
long and six inches wide. 1t was
attached to the toe of the boot, SO that
the bearer could raise his heal. His
walking motion was made by raising
the heel and sliding the board along
without raising it. The wearer carried
canes which helped him keep his
balance. In short heavy coat, fur hat
that came over his ears, and heavy
gloves, the walker seemed in great
shape to battle with snow. Many
people remarked upon the sight of q
man on snow shoes as he glided down
Market street at gait twice as fast as
that of ordinary pedestrians. The
walker was himself Norwegian,
Aren't Anderson, and he had come all
the way from Thirtieth and Market
streets. He works MT the Harlan &
Hollingsworth Co. Another man wore
pair of shoes like those used in the
Northwest.

At Cape Henry the velocity Of the

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 13. = The
storm in this vicinity has at last
assumed the proportions of blizzard.
A bowling snow storm prevails today.
This is not exactly new condition, as
the snow began falling afresh at 8
o'clock on Saturday night and con-
tinued all of yesterday and last night.
During the night. however, the wind
increased in velocity until it reached a
speed of 40 miles an hour today. This
had the effect of piline the light, dry
snow up in drifts, until some streets
and roads in the suburbs became i'm
passible to trolley cars, teams and
pedestrians. In the surrounding
country the trolley lines were, with
few exceptions, all abandoned.
The weather has moderated con-
siderably, the official record being 8
degrees above zero today.
At the Delaware Breakwater every
thing is at q standstill. No vessels
have departed for five days and those
that arrive remain anchored in the
harbor of refuge. This morning at
O'Clock the observer reported "a north
easter. the velocity of the wind being
48 miles an hour and increasing, with
heavy snow falling.
The Pennsylvania, Reading, Lehigh
Valley and New Jersey Central rail
roads are all seriously affected by the
blizzard. Trains on these roads are
late and in some instances schedules
have been abandoned.
A COAL FAMINE IMMINENT.
Shipping remains at a standstill on
the Delaware River. The ice is getting
heavier and there is no prospect of any
arrivals at or departures from the port
Of Philadelphia, during this week. A
coal famine is imminent in parts that
depend on Philadelphia for supply of
anthracite. Not single barge or other
coal-carrying vessel has passed out of
the Delaware since the middle of last
week, and none can possibly get out
while the river is filled with ice. The
same is likely to be said of localities
that get their coal by rail if the snow
continues to block the tracks in the
coal region.
