Enormous Damage In Central Park
New York, Feb. 22.-After "a hours

to the worst weather conditions it has
faced this winter Telegraph and tel

ley service throughout the adjacent
portions of New Jersey and Long Is
land practically at standstill When
day broke a cold rain was still fall
ing and had turned the snow to semi
frozen slush, impeding the traffic and
blockading cars. Miles of electric
light, telephone and telegraph wires
were down, making a heavy task for
the army of linemen who are at work
attempting to restore the system. By
10 o'clock the telegraph companies had
restored limited communication with
the rest of the country except south of
New York, which is still isolated. The
heaviest damage appears to have re-
suited between this city and Philadel-
phia. Telegraph poles, carried down
by the immense weight Of sleet bur-
dened wires, caused a delay of one to
five hours in the passenger train SER
vice of the Pennsylvania lines during
the night between this city and Balti-
more. The main trouble as reported
by passengers from the south was in
the district between Chester, Pa, and
Trenton, n. J. AT the first named
place the entire telephone, telegraph
and electric light system was total
wreck, the town was in darkness and
trains on the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore division were run
without the aid of telegraph, necessi-
tating slow progress.
The worst of the wreck among the
wires was between Bristol and Tren-
ton, N. j. In the II miles between
those two points more than 100 tele.
gfaph poles were broken. mere were
reports of burned trolley cars in va
rious directions. The weight of the
ice on the wires caused Chem to break
and the loose ends encountered cars
and set them on fire.

obstacles which the northeasterly gale
of last night left in it's wake was a
