Great Snow Drifts Piled Up In New

A dispatch from New York says
not In several years has New York
been visited by storm OF such pro.
portions as that which commenced
Tuesday and continued until early
Wednesday. Nine inches Of snow II ,
paralyztng traffic, and the marked
drop In the temperature brought un
told suffering to the city's poor. The
blizz,rd caused seven d aths In New
York and vicinity, while many per
sons, overcome by the cold, dropped
to the street, some OF them receivin..
fractured bones.
The storm began with an icy slce
which struck to Car rails aud caused I.
spea1y abandonment of railroad and
trolley schedules. The sleeS covere |
tue sidewalks and streets with ice an,l
rendered them almost impossible.
Scores Of horses fell and many we're
badly injured that they uad to b,
killed. a fine snow succeeded the slice t
and. aiced by the wind, soon piled uD
drifts that shut of many suburba F,
points from the city.
Five OF the seven men who met
death from the results of the storm
died from exposure, another slipped
on the i;y platform of an elevated
station III In front of an ap oroachins

The demora'ization of the surface
car service played havoc with those

ran infrequcntly, throwing the huls
