DIGGING OUT.
City Sets an Army to Work
to Get Rid Of the
Beautiful Snow.
4 PICTURESQUE NIGHT
Crowds Came Out to See
the Frost Pictures-B Bells
and Laughter Jingle.
LABOR VERY SCARCE
Railroads Took Up All the
Supply Before the Storm
Had Ceased.
LABOR VERY SCARCE

The effects Of yesterdays baby blizzard
were really picturesque last night. even
in the beautiful section known as down
town" This whole area looked like the
stage setting for Christmas Sunday
School cantata The wind had grown
tired of its mad frolic and was taking a
rest The storm had abated and only
enough snowfakes were falling to COM
plete a pretty picture. Even the tired
faces of trolleymen anxious to get home
to their families looked happy after an
exceptionally harrassing day
While the sides of the roadways were
piled high with banks of snowy whtteness
trolley cars gIided along between them,
and people anxious to see the street
scenes after the abatement of the storm
surged along the sidewalks and made the
air ring with laughter and merry chatter.
The great electric light cables had not
been dragged down by the weight of snow
that clung to them and food of electric
light shining upon the great white banks
made them dazzle while it impaired to the
Iazily falling snowhakes the sparkle of
diamonds. Whatever 1t was the scene
impaired gay spirits to the thousands of
pedestrians abroad. These had left their
warm homes, where they had been en-
sconced all day. to join in the general
revelry. 1t seemed to be a holiday and
merry peals of laughter jingled with the
sound of sleighbells and the sonorous
clang Of trolley gongs.s GayIy bedecked
cutters drawn by spirited horses and oe-
cupied by gay and sport-1oving couples
also gave a dash Of briiliancy 10 the
scene.
But the crowds on the sidewalks in
some instances had to stand on tip-toe to
catch the flash of the "sleighs'' as they
passed 50 high were the street embank-
ments Some of the sleighs, by the way,
were lost in snow banks, and views of
them with their steel runners turned sky
ward, horses plunging on the sidewalk
and snow covered male and female -occu-
pants crawling from said bank to places
of safety were more than once repeated.
They should not have ventured down
town in the streets congested with nec-
essary traffic. Their place was out on the
Boulevard or in the country. Once they
were obliged to turn aside to make room
for an oncoming trolley, a plunge into a
snow bank was the only recourse and a
vehicle on runners will overturn when
knocked. from lts equlpFium sooner than
wheeled vehicle. However, even upturned
sIeighs lent zest to the general nerriment.
No serious accident was reported and all
went as merry as a marriage bell. The
brilliant scene could not last long and
those who ventured forth to witness it
were determined to make the most of it.
They seemed to realize and readapt the
title of the song
<"Oh. what a difference in the morning .
The beautiful, glistening white embank-
ments, they however were only too soon
to disappear. and even by the morrow
traffic would besmatter them with black
mud and dirty, disagreeable, disease
laden slush would for days take their
places.

QUEER ACCIDENT TO ANNEX BOAT

A queer accident took place this morn

IN this city at As. The boat was just
rounding the Battery when she ran into
an ice foe. Biff bang! went the ice
blocks humping against the paddle
wheels, when suddenly there was crash.
The partition behind the seat over the
wheel box, on what was then the port
side of the boat, burst asunder. and pieces
of the woodwork flew past the two or
three passengers sitting in the smoking
compartment. Had anyone sat on that
seat death would have been inevitable.
