NEW JERSEY TRAVEL
 PRACTICALLY STOPPED,

New York. February 17.-Advices re- ceived tonight from points in New Jer- sey show that the great blizzard has been felt from Berben County to Cape May and from Atlantic City to Camden. The latest advices are that during the evening the storm abated considerably, the snow having ceased to fall and the wind having decreased in velocity.
 As was natural the brunt of the gale. which approached the dimensions of a hurricane was felt by the seacoast towns but the Interior cities and towns did not escape. Travel by road was all most impossible, and cities and villages not provided with large gangs of street cleaners gave up the battle against the heavy snow early in the day, The rail roads were enabled to move trains by the free use of snowplows, and street car traffic all over the state was stopped until the sweeping machines and blows cleared the tracks about the middle of the afternoon. This applies to the large cities only, for in the smaller places the tracks are so badly covered with snow that they may not be cleared for two days.
 There was a general suspension of the schools. At most places heard from there will be no attempt to hold school to- s1,o
