To Remove Snow From the 200 Milee
 of Scheduled Streets.

New York. Feb 7.-Continued cold
 weather at an average of IS degrees yesterday and last night gave the street cleaning department no help of thaw in It's job of cleaning out Mondays and Tuesdays 1O.7 inches of snow. The department had 3,2OOE trucks and 4,4OO men working on the job and found it difficult to get them. It required four hours for thirty trucks to clear up the worst of the snow on one block on Fifth avenue between Forty-second and Forty-third streets.
 Deputy Commissioner J. F. Riley. thought last night that by this morning the four contractors doing the work would have cleared with the exception of a half inch or inch of snow
 We have 200 miles of street In Manhattan and The Bronx to clear" said MT Riley, "and we count on do- ing an inch day. Under present weather conditions it will take us eleven days to finish the job. We arc paying the lowest rate for removal In six years, an average of 15.7 cents yard per inch and estimate that the storm will cost the city about $32O,- 900. If more snow arrives we'll have lots of troubIe.''

Baltimore, Feb "A dispatch from Cape Hatteras to the maritime exchange to-day says the schooner which went ashore on Diamond shoals Tuesday night went to pieces last night. No trace of the vessel could be seen this morning. and the crew have in all probability perished.
