Interesting and Graphic Des-
cription of the Sleet Storm
in the City Of Section, and
the Great Inconvenience,
Resultant Therefrorn.

An Atlanta special describes the ice
bound condition of that city as fol
lows:
Wires are down, lights are out, high
ways blocked and traffic all but para
lyZed from one rim of Atlanta to the
other. At daybreak the city looked
like the top Of a wedding cake. AT
9 o'clock it looked like a dirty dish
rag. Slowly and drippingly the ice
teeth that had clutched it fast since
midnight were beginning to loosen,
but there was still no telling when
they might close down again for the
mercury hesitated at 30 degrees. And
SO an entire population, 10000 pee
pie, peering through their misty win
dow panes or tramping along slippery
pavements remembered the great
freeze Of 1905 and felt themselves in
the midst of its return.
Though everyone was in doubt, and
still is, as to how matters will end,
there was no mistaking what they ac-
tUally We're. Suburban residents of
course bore the brunt of the situation.
At o'clock, the hour for most men
and women to leave for their work,
not a street car was running, not
street car moved. In fact, the cur
rent was not even turned on.
In addition to the slippery cOndi-
ton OF the tracks themselves, hun
dreds Of wires had snapped and
scores of poles had cracked and
fallen across the street The limbs
of trees also had broken under their
weight of ice and tumbled into the
pile of slush. The cab horses that
had been lasned into service, picked
Lneir way cautiously like mountain
donheys in Spain and even they
slipped and scrambled now and then
City Looks Deserted.
At s o'clock the town could not
have looked more deserted had it
been in the grip Of a hostile army.
At the same time, however, every
road leading into the city was dotted
with little bands of men trudging to
work through the sleet. Far out in
Edgewood and Battlehill, Brookwood,
Copenhill, West End and Decatur
they might be seen with umbrellas
up, coat collars muffled and noses red
pushing one foot after the other As
they neared the city and were Joined
at every corner by Others, their num-
Der increased until finally they looked
for all the world like pictures of ST
beriaR exiles walking one behind the
other and silently.
Back to the Stone Age.
By 10 o'clock lI4ere was a show of
business in the down town district,
but the suburbs were still motionless,
So many telephone wires were down
that communication of this character
was practically impossible People
who depended on electric lights, dug
up their lamps and candles from the
closet corners. 1t was like being sud-
denly thrust pack into the stone age.
On top of all these local inconven-
fences lay the fact that not tele-
graphic message was reaching At
lanta. Mile after mile of poles and
wires were down between Atlanta
and all the surrounding cities. 1t is
largely for this reason that no fore
cast can yet be made of the limits
which the ice siege will reach. The
