BEATS STORM OF '88
New York and the Atlantic Coast
Swept by a Big Blizzard and
Traffic Abandoned.

New York, Feb. 17.-New York City
has borne the brunt of the 6ereest snow
storm that has struck this section OF the
country since the great blizzard Of 1883.
Beginning soon after midnight, the
storm increased rapidly until by day
break, the whole city was completely
showed under.
The rising force of the gale piled the
snow in great drifts that for some tune
almost suspended traffic except in the
main thoroughfare where the car tracks
were kept open only by the constant use
of snow plows and sweepers
Communication between Manhattan
and Brooklyn WAS subject to long delay
The ferry boats, with difficulty, made
trips across the ice choked river, and
the work Of tugboats. lighters and ship
ping generally was almost at standstill.
So heavy was the snowfall that the load.
ing OF vessels was stopped, it being i'm
possible to keep the matches open.
Two steamers which arrived during
the night struggled as far rs quarantine,
where they came to anchor. Several
steamers are supposed to be off Sandy
Hook, waiting for the storm to abate be-
fore attempting to enter port.
Throughout Brooklyn the blockade
was even more general than in Mauhat-
tan, and little progress was made by the
street cleaning department beyond open
ing crosswalks on the principal streets.
Coney Island, Fort Hamilton and Can
avsie were completely cut of from all
communication from over Brighton
Beach road where a dozen trains we're
helplessly stalled at one time. During
tho day not over sixty per cent. OF the
cars of the Biooklyn Rapid Transit sys-
tenn were in operation and thousands Of
persons we're compelled to make their
way on foot to the ferries.

The Honest Policy.

1t matters not in what bueiness man
may be engaged, close observer on the
various methods adopted by them in the
conduct Of their business affairs will
have but little difficulty in detecting
that those who are honest with their
customers those who give the goods they
represent, those who do not attempt to
bluff customers into tho purchase Of ar
ticles, those who do not misrepresent the
quality Of their goods, are the men who
will in the long run win the patronage
of the public. People will not always
be cheated when it comes to dealing at
an establishment where they are led to
believe they are getting bargains. They
would rather deal with a merchant upon
whose word they can rely.
Merchants generally desire to bear q
reputation for honest and upright deal
ing, against whom the chorge Of cheat
ing . customer can never be brought.
Such = name has A. L. Gourley won by
doing the fair thing toward all his Gus
TONERS. His stock OF furniture is first
class and tho prices are all right. Cor
tainly the reputation OF being an honest
man is ono that is q credit to anyone,
and in this case it is deserved.

OIL EXCHANGE

Amidst the greatest excitement
yesterday with hundreds in at
tendance, the Western Oil asso-

being given by the explosion Of
a huge bomb.
The first 1000 shares of stock
sold to Mayor Wright and they

That great new industry is

Clarence Mackay and William G.
Whitney will reserve a majority of
their thoroughbreds to race exclusive
ly at Saratoga, y. Y, this summer. Or.
ders 10 that effect have been issued TO
Charles Hill and John Rogers. their
respective trainers.
Mr. Mackay has informed his trainer
that he is not anxious TO race his
horses before the Saratoga meeting.
He has given orders to prepare only
Banastar and Heno for the main
events at Morris Park and Gravesend,
n. Y All the other horses are to be
held i'm reserve. They will get a slow
preparation for the big races at the
American spa.
In order to give them plenty of time
and to get them thoroughly acclimated
all of the horses will be shipped TO Sar-
atoga in June. When the meeting be-
gins. they will be in fine condition. 1t is
expected, to compete with the best
thoroughbreds in America.
Similar tactics will be adopted by Mr..
Whitney. lie has n much greater num-
Der Of horses in training than Mr..
Mackay. and he will race more than
two at the early meetings but the ma
jority of his horses will be held in re-
serve for his meeting al Saratoga.
MIR Whitney has fairly lavished mon.
ey on the track at Saratoga. as he
hopes TO make il the great rendezvous
of turfmcn in America Stakes worth
from $4,000 To $4,000 will be decided.
In order to have first class racing Mr.,
Whitney realizes that high class horses
must compete, so he will limit his early
efforts on the turf this season TO a few
important races.
