Snow Storms.

One of the earliest heavy snowfalls

swept over this section of country yester-
day.
Telegraphic communication was badly
interrupted. The Western Unions SER

city were out of service.
In Baltimore and suburbs the damage
to telephone and electric-light wines was
very severe. Portions OF the city we're
in darkness for time, and many tele-
phones were out of service.
Meeger reports from other sections
indicate that the storm was severe IN the
North and fiddle Atlantic States. The
Weather Bureau was able to receive less
than a dozen reports out of a large num-
Der of cities ordinarily reporting.
A New York dispatch says that wire
communication with that city Is more
effectively tied up than at any time since
the blizzard of 1888. The only dlrec-
lions in which there is communication
are those Of philadelphia, Baltimore and
parts of New Jersey and New England:
Urgent messages we're sent by the Postal
Telegraph Company to Chicago by way
of the cable to Canso, n. s., and thence
over land wires via Montreal.
There was little damage, except to
wires, in New York and Philadelphia.
Wind, rain, hail and snow prevailed,
and the gale reached high yelocitits.
Off the Middle and North Atlantic
Coast hurricane prevailed and severe
wrecks are already reported.
In Virginia the snowfall was quite
heavy, it reaching depth of five inches
in the southwestern section OF the State.

mind and she lost her health. On the
