BLIZZARD FROM WEST
THREATENS TO TIE UP
TRAFFIC IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Jan. 30-The center of
the western blizzard reached this city
today Accompanied by a high wind,
a heavy fall of wet snow, succeeding a
rainfall throughout last night, filled the
streets with slush which threatened to
delay all city transportation except the
subway.
Frequent accidents to pedestrians
were reported. With the front windows
of the street cars thickly coated, motor
men were unable to see pedestrians
lodging across the street crossings, and
snow on the tracks deadened the sound
of the approaching cars.
Among the hundreds who sought
shelter last night in. the municipal lodg-
ing houses were about forty women
and children. Most of the men were
put to work clearing snow.
Fire which broke out in a stable on
Montrose street in Brooklyn spread so
rapidly that forty families were turned
into the street. An adjoining tenement
was soon in flames and the tenants in
it had narrow escapes.

DENVER, Jan. 30.-Snow from seven
to ten feet on the level and drifts many
feet deeper are still blocking many Of
the lines Of the Colorado railroads, but
most of the passenger trains stuck in
drifts at remote sidings and small
stations have been reached and the
passengers are being taken care Of
The Colorado & Southern passenger
train which has been marooned near
Jefferson for two days is still in the
snow, but the passengers have been
brought to the village.
The Denver & Rio Grande broke It's

he Rio Grande Southern road, how
ever, still is badly blocked in the vicin-

rotary plow was broken. The line to
Telluride has been blocked for nearly a
week, and it probably will be another
week before the road is opened. The
line 10 Silverton was opened last night
after being blocked ten days. Some Of
the snowslides cut through were from
thirty to forty feet deep. Trainloads
of coal and supplies are being rushed
to Silverton, which city has been close
to famine.

WORST BLIZZARD ON RECORD
NEARLY OVER IN SOUTHWEST

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 3O.-After being
securely wrapped for the past twenty
four hours in the grasp Of the most Sc
we're blizzard on record, reports from
the southwest today showed that the
storm had spent its force and that con-
ditions were improving.
The temperature, however, remained
at its lowest point, in many places a
drop of from 40 to so degrees having
been experienced since the beginning
Of the storm.
Telegraph and telephone communica-
ton has been almost completely cut off
for twenty-four hours, but is slowly be-
ing restored today. Reports from Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and
Arkansas show clear but cold weather.
Locally the wind, which for thirty
minutes last night attained a hurricane
velocity of eighty miles an hour, and
which had been blowing at seventy
miles for twenty-four hours, dropped
to the almost unusual twenty miles.
But the temperature here today regis
tered 1 above zero, a drop of so degrees
in thirty-tWo hours.

In the Dakotas and Nebraska hope is

In the south the storm was the most

wrecked buildings, interruption to wire

almost a duplicate of that sent from
the north and northwest.
Railroad traffic is also badly delayed
in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and
portions Of Texas. Fire and havoc from
high winds have resulted in loss Of
several hundred thousand dollars

SNOWSTORM AT CINCINNATI
is CAUSE OF FATAL ACCIDENT

CINCINNATI, Jan. 30.-The snow
storm and consequent slippery tracks
is given as the cause of an accident
here today that may cost at least two
lives, while several other persons were
injured.
A College Hill main line car with
thirty-seven passengers jumped the
rails on Clifton avenue and tumbled
down a steep embankment, landing at
the bottom of a raVine with a mass of
shrieking, fighting men, women and
children caught under it or hurled from
platform or through windows.
More than score of passengers were
injured, some seriously. The motor
man, Joseph E. Mulligan, is believed to
be dying, and Chief of Detectives Pope
is probably fatally hurt.
To his bravery can be laid the inju-
ries to Pope. He tried to help the
motorman to regain control of the car.
He was working with the brake when
the car jumped the track. Pope stuck
to his post, as did Motorman Mulligan.
Poppe was formerly in the regular
army, having been awarded medal
for bravery in Indian warfare, and is
widely known.

Four residences burned yesterday at
Grand Saline.
The grain elevator at Bison, near
Kingfsher, Okla, with quantity OF
corn in cars, burned, causing a loss of
about $4,000. In the Glenn oil pool
near Tulsa the damage is probably $780,
900 by reason of the wind having
leveled many derricks. Fifty derricks
are down in the oil field near Kiefer,

COFFEYvILLE, Kas, Jan. 3O-The
town Of Nowata, across the line from

off the map today by a fire that de-
stroyed thirteen business houses, two
banks and the county court house,

WORK N CONGRESS!
NOT MUCH DOING UNTIL AFTER

ADJOURNMENT FOR 1 TINE
Appolntment Of lurton 70 BE Asso

tlon Of the senate.

Washington.-With probably fewel
than q quorum of members Of either
house in the city. all legislation In
congress during the next two days
will be BY common consent. The
house will undertake nothing more
than the passage Of some bills Of
minor importance and the compile
ton of its work on the District oi
Columbia appropriation bill, which al.
ready has been under consideration
for two or three days.
It has been hoped that the army
supply bill might be taken up and dis.
posed of before adjournment, but that
program has been abandoned in tha
face of the departure Of SO many
members. It is expected that very
little time will be necessary for the
disposal of the District bill, and with
1t out of the way the house, in the
main, will simply tread water" until
the time for adjournment for the h0li-
days.
The senate will undertake very 1T
tie except the confirmation of Hon.
Horace H. Lurton to be associate
justice Of the supreme court Of the
United States. The nomination will
be reported favorably to the senate
on Monday and an effort will be made
to have 1t acted upon. The present
indications are that there will be no
objection to such a course and that
Mr.. Lurton's confirmation will take
place before the beginning of the holi.
days, thus enabling him to take his
seat on the supreme bench upon the
reconvening of that body after the
holidays.
It is not expected that a quorum
will be present either Monday or
Tuesday, and if such should prove to
be the case call for an aye and no
vote would have the effect of postpon.
ing action until January. No one
seems willing to accept this responsi.
bility, and Senator Bacon of the judi
ciary committee, who has charge of
the nomination, is hopeful that the
expediency of such a call will not be
resorted to.
Undoubtedly there are a number of
senators who consider Mr.. Lurton's
age to be against him, but their OBJ
lection does not 60 to the extent of
pronounced opposition.
Some investigation is being made of
Judge Lurton's decisions as a circuit
judge. with a view to determining the
foundation of the charge that they are
in the interest of corporations, and a
statement covering this phase of the
question probably will be presented
to the senate when the subject is tax.
en- up for consideration.
In the main. the disposition is to al
low the president to have his way In
the selection of successor to Justice
Peckham. but many of the senators
are disposed to make a record regard.
ing Mr.. Lurton's shortcomings, if he
has any.
II it were question of success or
defeat, Mr.. Lurton would have many
champions and there is no doubt that |
he would be confirmed on a vote. The |
only question involved at this time is
the advisability of delay. He would |
be confirmed soon after the holidays,
even though the question should be
deferred so long.
Both houses will adjourn on Tues
day for two weeks, the day for the re-
