RESPECTABLE, But NOTHING MORE.

No reasona ole person will deny that the storm
which began late on Sunday evening was of re-
spectacle magnitude The city woke I'D yester
day morning to find that wind and clouds had
been attending strictly TO business since it went
TO sleep; that five or six inches of snow had
fallen already; that as much more was in the
air; that awkward drifts were fast forming: that
the surface railroads were in trouble and that

As the day wore on and the conditions grew
worse rather than better, the word ''blizzard'
came into frequent use. and a good deal was
said on the subject of record breaking But

has experienced the genuine article only once
since statistics came into fashion. and those
who missed it have no reason 10 expect a repe-

Thus II is shown that I4:i oO2 more people
live in districts without the subway than in
the districts reached by this means of transit
The southern boundary of all these districts is
Fifty third-st.. which forms sort of natural
median between the uptown and downtown

1t can also be seen that Lexington-av forms

The small area of the East side districts

their Congested condition. 1t has been argued

boundaries of these districts. however. ii is found
that neither of them reaches further than

SENTENCES or CARABINEERS

London, April 4.-The War Office this after
noon issued an official statement of the facts
in regard to the Colonials sentenced for murder

east of Petersburg, and took a certain num-
ber of prisoners. Grave irregularities on the
Iart of certain officers of the corps came to the
knowledge of The military authorities in Octo-
her and an exhaustive investigation was or
dered by Lord Kitchener.
AS a result of the inquiry five officers were
tried by court martial at Petersburg, in Jan

in twelve murders or accessories to them. Lieu

were also charged with the murder of the Rev.

that they committed the murder the evidence
was not considered sufficient to justify their

whose plea in extenuation that a number Of
their corps were illtreated by the Beers, was not
sustained by the evidence at The trial. The
sentences were such would have been inflict-
ed on any officers similarly guilty.
