The storm in Georgetown is felt more
severely than in the heart of the city. On

on the roads so that it is impossible for
persons TO get away from their homes.
The wind is blowing a gale.
The Georgetown and Tenleytown Rail
road is tied up, and it is probable that no
effort viii be made TO run cars until the
snow stops and the wind goes down.
On the river front the gale is terrific
and as result the snow is drifted so that
the streets in that part of the city are
completely closed.
The Washington and Falls Church line
is not running cars. and the Government
clerks and persons living along its line
will not be able 10 reach the city by this
route for several days.
The streets of Georgetown proper are
deserted, and an occasional pedestrian is
the only living thing to be seen. Business
is practically suspended. a few grocers
made an endeavor to take orders and deliv-
er goods this morning, but made sorry
headway
The snow has crushed in several roofs
of buildings and sheds. The most serious
was that which occurred at the stable Of
residence of Colonel Joyce, on Brown
Street. No one was hurt. but a number of
carriages were badly damaged. The avn
ings of many stores on NJ and Thirty

was injured.
The suffering among the poor of this
section is something pitiful. All day long
the offices of the local branch of the AS
sociated Charities has been crowded with
destitute persons seeking aid. The de-
mand for fuel, warm clothing and food has
been so great that the supply on hand was
not sufficient to fully meet the demands,
and only the most urgent cases were pro-
yided for, \ large number of persons have
been going around from house to house
securing subscriptions for the relief of the
poor. In this way the suffering among
the poorer classes has been to some ex
tent relieved, but, nevertheless, there still
remains great deal of it.
Georgetown is suffering from a coal
famine. The coal dealers are beseiged
with orders they cannot fill. The tele
phones of the coal Offices were all day kept
busy with orders for coal. When told that
no coal could be delivered today those suf-
fering from the cold begged that bushel
be sent when tons were needed.
The meeting of the Citizens Association,
which was scheduled for tonight, has been
postponed.

Another remarkable feature of this weather was

New York in BIizzard's Grasp and
the Storm Extending.
New York, Feb. 13.-New York is in the
grasp of a blizzard. Since Saturday even
ing snow has been falling steadily. High
winds have drifted it badly and all traf-
fc today Is seriously delayed or tied up
altogether. Navigation on the rivers and
in the bay is practically suspended. The
Lower Bay is almost impossible. the ice
extending from Sandy Hook 10 Coney Is
land in one solid mass. This is a most
unusual occurrence. The ice barrier, how
ever. will not prevent steamers from en-
tering port.
Yesterday four vessels lying off Quaran-
and carried off to sea. Extra anchors
splashed from helpless bows, and engines
made futile efforts.
When off Coney Island change of tide
released the ships, and they scurried back
into port.
In the Sound ice has formed rapidly, and
it's entrance is closing up. Many craft are
icebound.
The suffering of the poor is awful. The
Salvation Army is using all its resources
to mitigate the situation, and with some
success. Charitable organizations have al
so come 10 the rescue.
Two deaths from cold and exposure are
reported by the police this morning.
The storm showed no sign of abating,
and promises to equal the furious blizzard
OF March. 1883. The temperature has ris-
en- slightly, standing at above zero at 8
clock this morning.

Mr.. Conn was endeavoring to get to the

seventy years of age. and with the persis-
tency of faithful employe of the Govern
ment he continued battling against the
blizzard even after he had been driven to
the ground, time after time At the above
mentioned place in turning the corner he
was blown from his feet into snowdrift,
face downward where he lay too weak to
turn. Policeman Lewis, a special officer
at the corner, saw the exhausted man fall,
and, dragging him from the snow, carried
him to drug store where Mr.. Conn rested
for an hour. He was sent to his home in

Harrisburg Pa, Feb 13.-This city is

Ambnlances nubIe to Respond to

Numerous cases of suffering from the
cold were treated at the different hospitals
today
On account Of the intensity of the storm
and the drifting of the snow the regular
emergency ambuances were unable to Ie-
spond TO the various calls, and the suffer
ers had to be taken TO the hospitals by pri-
vate conveyances The majority OF the
cases were frostbites and were quickly re-
lieyed. A large number Of cases were
treated by physicians and The different
drug stores.
Bernard Howard. an oiler on the Penn
sylyania Railroad, was brought to the
Emergency Hospital today in an almost
unconscious condition, suffering from Sc

Camp Mckenzie.
Camp Mackenzie, Augusta, Ga, Feb Is.
There could be no worse weather for
soldiers who have 10 live in canvas tents
than there was at Camp Mackenzie yester-
day. There has been a steady fall of
snow and hail since o'clock yesterday
morning, at at o'clock last night there
was 10 inches of snow upon the ground,
Icicles are hanging from the sides of
the tents and from the guy ropes. The men
who are not on duty are sticking close TO
their tents and are able TO keep very
comfortable as the stoves are very large
and have good heating power, but the men
who suffer the most are the ones who are
on guard. They can be seen running Up
and down their posts instead Of walking,
so that they can keep warm. Their heavy
overcoats are frozen stif upon their backs.

NO FIRE CALLS TODAY.
Teams of the Engine Companies
Have Been Doubled.

Great inconvenience by reason of the
storm is suffered by the Fire Department.
The teams of the engines in the central
districts have been doubled.
Fortunately no alarm has been sounded
today. Firemen would be at great dis
advantage in fight with flames during
this blizzard.
