La Paz, Bolivia, Jan. 25.-At noon yesterday

TIES UP FREIGHT
5000 Cars Blocked on Pennsylvania
Lines
[B7 TELEGRAPH 40 TH5 TRIBUNE


Pittsburg. Jan. 25.-Pittsburg is in the grasp
of blizzard weather The and ice ruined
the we'll laid plans of the railroads to relieve the
freight congestion of this district to-day. There
are five thousand cars blocked sidetracks
between here and Philadelphia on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad with many more in the yards Of
the other roads that come into this city.
Arrangements had been made by the Penn
sylvania company to press into service to-day
all the engines that could be secured to get
some order out of the present chaotic conditions
that prevail in the freight department The
weather had not been reclloned with however
and very little could be done toward moving
the trains ali traffic was inlpeded.
The same conditions prevail on the Baltimore
and Ohio. and all other roads running out Of
Pittsburg. All the passenger trains touching
this city. both inbound and outbound, were
from one hour to three and a half hours late
from yesterday. The only exceptions
were the local trains. and some of these were
running far from their schedule time
AS a result of the shortage in coal and the
congestion of freight on the railroads. fully two
thousand workingmen Of McKeesport are suf-
fering enforced idleness which is costing them
not less than $4,000 day in wages. In addf-
ton to these, there perhaps five hundred
others who car work only half time owing to
the shortage of material. All the employees of
the Boston Rolling Mill, which furnishes the
greater part of the rough iron for the National
Pipe Mills, have been out of work for the last
week Their coal has been exhausted and none
can be secured from the railroads. An effort IS
being made TO get supply from the river COM
panies but it is said that those concerns have
their hands full delivering coal to their regular
patrons.
At the W. Devices Wood plant Of the Ameri-
can Sheet Steel Company perhaps three hun
dred of the nine hundred employees are working
steadily, while the same number have been laid
off Indefinitely.
Several departments of the National Tube
Works are also shut down, some because of
no material and others for lack of fuel. The
output of pipe is seriously affected as the
men are now working stock which will soon
be exhausted. The shutdown also interferes
with an ambitious project mapped out by the
local officials OF the company, to break all pre-
vious records at the plant during the quarter.

COLLISION AND FIRE ON CENTRAL
Freight Trains Run Together in Snowstorm
Cars and Valuable Freight Burned.

There was a slight collision in the snowstorm
last evening between two New-York Central
freight trains just north of the Glenwood sta
ton. above Yonkers and before the local fire
men could respond to the alarm two freight
cars and q caboOse of the first train were
burned, together with their freight.
It is supposed that the engineer on the rear
freight not knowing there was a train ahead OF
him being una BILE to see for any distance, ran
into the rear end of the first train before he
knew it The red hot Goals from the engine set
fire to the cars.
The caboose was overturned. and traffic on
the road was delayed some time. The two
freghts were on the centre track.
The cars that were burned the fremen de-
cIared contained valuable underwear, gloves
