Market street and other principal stroots
OF tho city, present an army Of snow shoy.
elers to-day and v the afternoon progress
Ia rs favorable as that OF tho morning, all
the city sidewalks will bs open 10 pedes-
TRANS by night fall. But the streets arc
checked and doubtless will remain SO for
several days. The snow from tho pave
ments has piled the snow to depth of ton
feet In the streets, through which teams
which are compelled to be ou'. arc moved
by four horses. The Wilmington Trans
fer Company carried Its freight on four
horse sleighs nnd on frequent occasions
these became stalled in the snow drifts.
Tie Market street cars, which run about
every hour, move between walls of snow
which tower almost to the top OF the cars
In a fow days these banks will doubtless
fall and again impede travel
There Ia u scarcity of milk in the city
and unless farmers reach the city to-mor-
row famine will prevail. There was not
dozen mikmenl!n town this morning.

one Car containing ono hundred shovolers
will start down the Delaware road with
the object OF clearing the track. IL will be
the first train that has moved over the
