MISS THE INAUGURATION.
NorthernerS, Snopboand, Return
Home Disappointed.

Baltimore. March 4-The storm of last night and
to-day seemed to centre In Baltimore and vicinity.
For the first time since the big fire OF February.
1901 the trolley lines suffered greatly, and until
well into the morning most OF them were out OF
commission.
The train service between Baltimore, Washington
and Havre de Grace. on the south side Of the Sus-
Quehanna River, crippled, that great
crowd Of persons from Philadelphia, New York
and other Northern cities were stranded at the
railroad stations unable TO proceed TO the capital
and witness the Inauguration ceremonies ana
parade. This condition OF affairs due chiefly
to the blowing down of the telegraph telephone
and other wires along the railroad tracks. In many
cases the poles fell the tracks. and made it
impossible for the trains to proceed with safety
Then. again. drifts of made traffic particU-
larry difficult between Baltimore and Washington
and other sections within a radius of thirty-fve
miles OF the city. At a. m. twenty-five trains
stalled between Baltimore and Washington.
As soon as the railroad and telegraph and tele-
phone people realized the havoc wrought they got
their wrecking gangs to work with the result that
by noon things were cleared up enough TO permit
slow traffic. Arms of the telegraph or telephone
poles were placed I'm upright position along the
lines OF the railroads and a single emergency wire
strung up in effort 70 get the city in COM
nunication with the outside world. The people
from the North at the stations. who unable
TO proceed TO Washington. waited for hours for
trains to take them to their homes One Of the
first trains TO reach the Union Station Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad the Colonial Express be
tween Washington and Boston. This train left
Washington several hours after the scheduled time.
7:30 q. m, and arrived in Baltimore at 100 o'clock
In the afternoon. nearly five hours late. II was
crowded with Philadelphans New Workers and
other Northerners, who, early in the morning, de-
cided to start for their homes rather than the
risk Of being snowbound in the Capital city over
night Extra day coaches were attached to the
train and those who had been stranded in the
Monument City gladly started homeward.
Aside from the damage done Ia the wires aud
poles two persons. at least. known to have
lost their lives in this city. These were Thomas
Worthingtou, a policeman. and Miss Marguerite
Schumpf who killed by coming in contact
with fallen live wires

Baltimore. March 4.-BaltImoreans had vivid
reminder to-day the billiards which have visited
this city at periods OF decade or Whereabouts in
years past. Almost the whole city lay under a
network Of fallen wires. Streetcar service was dis
organized in Il directions a number of lines being
out of commission altogether all day long. Neither
of the two telegraph companies had single wire
working out Of Baltimore. and the telephone ser
vice was badly crippled locally and altogether use
less as to outside points The storm caused the
death Of a policeman and woman, who vera
killed by live wires
The isolation Of the city far as telegraphic
communication was concerned, became complete at
o'clock this morning The telephone wires worked
little longer. A telegraph cable strung across
the tracks of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at
Greenmuunt avenue sagged so greatly to stop
trains and had 10 be cut 10 permit them to pass.
The damage 70 wires extended in all directions
within radius Of thirty miles Of this city.
Every railroad between Baltimore and Washing
ton was tied up until after noon and thousands
who expected to attend the Inauguration were de-
tained in this city. From all the companies came
reports Of and poles down across the tracks.
and on the interurban electric lines the wiring was
down in places. Strenuous efforts made TO re-
sumo service From the suburbs came reports Of
many poles and falling under the weight of
wet snow, and awning frame in falling broke
a mans leg.
The storm ceased about noon and the weather
tonight IS clear. Ten inches of snow covers the
ground and the temperature is between 80 and 40
degrees. While the railroads report conditions
rapidly improving, wire prostration. however, is
complete that will be several days before nor
nal conditions restored.

Corn and oats closed weak and provisions steady.
Trade in the wheat pit was exceedingly quiet,

was almost entirely of local character. There
was very little news to inspire either buying or
selling The principal factor was the weather con-
ditions in this country, rains being reported as
quite general a large section of the winter

effect late in the day. The close was easy, with

other piece of work. There Is also
regular stencil paper that comes at Is
cents a sheet and which lasts indefi-
eitely.
Lay a sheet of blotting paper on a
table under the fabric to be stenciled.
The plotting paper will absorb any ex-
ira oil. Next place the stencil on the
goods. Be sure that the cloth is per-
fectly smooth underneath Fasten the
stencil down tight around the edges by
means of common pins placed very
near together and pressed firmly down.
Put an old glove finger ON the fore
Anger of your right hand to protect it.
The oil paint comes in tubes, and the
price varies with the color and make.
Z Squeeze a little paint out on a palette
or plate The best medium to use in
mixing the colors is one part Japan
dryer to two parts turpentine. The
dryer prevents the oil from running.
Use enough of this medium in mixing
the paint to obtain fiat wash of color,
not thin enough to rum nor yet thick
enough to look pasty. The desired eff
feet is smooth, even tone, which
seems to be part of the material
Good results depend upon the care
taken in applying the paint. Plan to
have sufficient quantity mixed up, as
Il IL difficult to match the color should
It give out. Use bristle brush with
rather short bristles Have as little
paint on the brush as possible. A good
way is to wipe the brush on piece of
old white cloth before applying it to
the fabric. Be sure to hold the brush
IN vertical position. And, finally,
have separate brush for each color.
When the paint is dry, remove the
stencil, place 1t the required distance
from the finished motif, and proceed as
before directed.
