New York, Jan. 2S.-While nothlr
like full reports from all sections Of the
city have been received 1t Is known
that at least eight deaths have resulted
directly from abnormal weather.
All these victims We're persons who
fell in the street benumbed by the cold
ana exhausted from the effort OF at
tempting to force their way along the
snow drifted thoroughfares.
The intense cold held very steadily
and closely to the zro mark during the
forenoon, rising at the rate of hardly
one degree per hour. The wind contin-
ued and conditions We're hardly less un-
pleasant than yesterday.
Food and Fuel Famine
One of the most serious conditions
which confronted New Workers today
was the food and fuel supply Already
there is practically a famine in milk
Coal dealers reported today that they
had only about two days supply on
hand. Provisions of all kinds have been
advanced in price.
The recovery of the surface lines even
In the center of the city, is very slow
and the underground and elevated
trains were seriously taxed to handle
the increased traffic.
Every railroad running is suffering
severely. Not one through train had

Although the storm cleared compare

Thousands of persons slept last night
In railroad stations and ferry houses
because of the inability of railroads and

sections of the city was pitiable.
