Those Outside the City in a Tangle
Due to Storm.

'1f fire breaks out in the county por-
ton of the District, run to the nearest
fire engine house."
That is advice which the electrical de-
partment of the District has sent out to-
day and is made necessary because all
the suburban fire alarm boxes are out Of
commission as a result of the storm which
ragged Wednesday night and Thursday
morning.
It is explained that the storm tore down
practically all Of the overhead wires
which connect the fire alarm boxes and
the fire engine houses in the suburban
sections Of the District. and it will be a
week before the full service can be re-
stored.
-Four gangs Of men are at work in re-
pairing the damage, and this afternoon
telephone communication was establish
ed with the Tenleytown engine house and
Tenleytown police station. It is hoped
to get the telephone wires running to the
Brightwood and Langdon firehouses In
working order this afternoon, SO that
fire engine calls can be telephoned to the
frehouses. The line to the Congress
Heights engine will be established as
soon as possible.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The local ticker service in this city for
stock market quotations was out OF COM
mission yesterday. There was no great
demand for such news here, because
everybody was absorbed in what was go
ing on about the city. But even If there
had been the usual interest in such mat
tiers it could not have been gratifed, for
the reason that the snowstorm had de-
moralized the wires. and the telegraph
communication with the city was lacking
for most Of the day There was not much
improvement in the service today. and
while all business here had been resumed
and the brokers' offices were open, the fig
ures that came over the wires were scat
tered and received at long intervals.
The local stock market was not affected.
however. by this partial isolation from
the large centers OF the country, and the
movement which had set in wednesday
toward higher prices was continued today
in the case of some of the securities.
In none of them was any setback re-
corded. In spite. however, of this conoi-
ton, which sounds favorable and was
favorable, the market was very dull and
the inclination to buy-and it might also
be added to sell-got down to such a low
point that one of the brokers expressed
discomfort because he was unable to find
any trace Of market.
Inc broker III question proved 10 De
specially bullish on the securities OF the
Washington Railway and Electric Com-
pany. this Is, the stocks. His bid for
the preferred stock ran up to CO. and for
the common stock to As SO, while he
offered five thousand of the per cent
bonds for $50.
A couple of fifty-share lots OF the
common were secured at 43 and 43 1-S.
and twenty-five shares at As IA. and
that was about all the trading that was
done.
there was no change OF consequence
made in the figures for gas stock and
nothing done in the way Of trading.

RAILROADS HAVE TROUBLES
STORM INTERPRETERS WITH ALL
STEAM AND ELECTRIC LINES.
Suburbanites Encounter Long De-
lays, Many Being Unable to Reach
Homes Last Night.

While the steam railroads leading into
Washington were having their troubles on
account Of the great storm that will make
the Taft Inauguration memorable, many
of the electric lines into the city were put
out of commission. The trouble began
early yesterday morning. and the tie-up
in most instances lasted until midnight,
and in some cases until early today.
Suburbanites who had come into town on
the few cars that got through early in the
day were kept away from their homes
until late. Many gave up hope entirely
after waiting several hours. and spent the
night in the city,
electric lines was the snow and ice on
the tracks. Other causes were fallen poles
and trees across the tracks.
Officials Of the Washington suburban
systems say they have never known any
thing to equal the havic wrought by the
Inauguration storm. Miles and miles Of
tracks and wires were rendered absolutely
unfit for service, and 1t will probably. be
several days before they are in really
good condition again.
the service was fairly good throughout
yesterday, but became blocked last night
by Ice near Tenleytown and car which
was derailed on the single track beyond
somerset. AL u clOCh TIE line Was
blocked and persons who arrived at the
Georgetown terminus at 10 o'clock hoping
to get home promptly were forced to re-
main standing in the snow and slush I'M
til midnight before they could get an out
bound car. Many grew tired Of waiting
and remained In the city.
The service this morning was still poor,
due to the freezing of one of the switches,
which neceSsitated running all the cars
on a single track until the other could be
cleared.
Annapolis Line Crippled.
The Washington, Baltimore and Annap-
oils line was put out of commission early
yesterday. and ran no trains until night.
The Chevy Chase line was delayed
little early in the morning. but soon got
in good working order and ran all day
long. The same conditions prevailed on
the Washington and Alexandria line.
which appeared to suffer little from the
effects of the storm.
On the Washington. Baltimore and
Annapolis line the wires were down in
many places, and trees and poles were
strewn across the tracks. Several poles
fell on the New York avenue line be-
tween North Capitol and 5th streets.
On the North Capitol street line the
overhead wires were bad.
Out toward Laurel conditions were fair
ly good. On the Brightwood line the tie
UP was highly successful. and 1t was late
before there was anything like a normal
service. Soldiers Home was practically
The Congress Heights line did not start
at all yesterday and was out of commits
sion all day. 1t was late today before 1t
was in anything like working order.
