the Christmas storm or from accidents 5
caused by it, Six died from exposure
after being caught in snowdrifts
Others were drowned and several were
killed by trains.
Today New York was rapidly digging
itself from the cover OF the 10 inches
snowfall. BY afternoon traffic condl-
tions approached normal as a result
OF the labor of nearly 10000 men in
the employ of the city and the trac-
tion lines, while steam railroad condi-
tions also were rapidly improving.
Wire communication which was bad.
ly interrupted during the worst of the
blow was again fairly good today ex-
cept TO New England points.
Blockades on railroads created a
shortage OF food supplies and a con-
sequcnt increase in prices. which, con-
tributed to the haidships of the poor.
Shipping felt the storms effect scrl-
ously. While no heavy loss IL reported
from any one wreck many small crait
suffered damage, dragging their au-
chors and being driven ashore. The
