NEW YORK, March G.-The sleet-

was succeeded at night, after brief
1ntermission. by another fall of snow
which is sadly hampering the efforts
of the street cleaning department to

blown down, causing Il loss Of $4,000.
From all parts of this state come re-
ports Of heavy snow and delayed train
service.
The entire Chemung valley is cover
ed with snow to the depth Of eight to
Twelve inches. Telegraph and tele-
phone service is crippled. and the rail-
roads are experiencing difficulty in
running trains. The snowstorm is
great hardship to the poor people of
the flooded sections.
A heavy snowstorm prevailed
throughout Tompkins county, and the
Ithaca Street Railway company is no
longer able to run its cars.

struck northern New York. Reports
from Westport, Port Henry, Crown
Point Fort Ticonderoga and other lake
points state that Il fierce gale is raging,
with a heavy snowfall.
just as the railroads in central New
York were recovering from the effects
of the floods hercabouts they are con-
fronted by Il blizzard which is raging
iiercely. 1t promises to equal any Of
the storms of the winter. All trains
are more or less delayed.
AT Saratoga the storm is the worst
Since 1883.
Dispatches from various points in
Connecticut say that an average of
nbout twelve inches Of snow has fallen
throughout the state, and street car
rattle is delayed in all sections: West
'rn Connecticut is suffering the most.
Trains on the Central New England

ord railroads are about two hours

However, they are running fairly close
0 schedule time.
Owing to the high wind the snow is
lrifting badly. and many of the coun-
~ roads are becoming blocked.
