New York. Dec. 27.-New York and
It's environs were practically storm
bound Sunday for the first time this
winter. The west wing of railroad SER
vice was almost wholly cut Off, wire
communication in every direction was
crippled, metropolitan streets were
blocked with snow and shipping, even
within protection of the harbor, sui
fered damage.
The snowfall which began shortly
before noon Saturday, continued part
of Sunday.
This was followed by cold wave
which froze the damp snow to wires,
switches and roadway.
Nearly ten inches of snow fell and
the poor, who ate their fill OF free
Christmas dinners Saturday, had an
opportunity to work up another appe-
| tite Sunday by shoveling.
More than 10000 shovelers and 5000
| trucks were called out to clean the
streets.
Fast Train Delayed.
The two 1S-hour Chicago trains
were delayed to almost record-break-
ing limit, the Pennsylvania, due here
at 9:54 a. NJ, having failed to arrive
up to s o'clock at night, and the New
York Centrai's flyer, due here at 1920
a M. being over seven hours late
The Pennsylvania railroad reported
that no trains from points west Of
Philadelphia had arrived since Satur-
day evening.
At 8 a. m. small tidal wave swept
into the harbor and with occasional
fury dashed over the battery sea wall
and flooded many cellars. Two small
vessels were driven ashore during the
night on Staten Island, but they were
pulled off later.
The coastwise freight steamer Thur
man ran ashore off Toms river, N. j.,
and remained fast aground. Her Of
ficers and crew, % men in all, were
taken off by life savers with the
breeches buoy.
Three deaths in the city were
charged to the severity of the storm.
The victims were men who had spent
the night vainly seeking shelter and
food, finally succumbing to exposure.
One of them, Joseph Hart. 65 years
old, died in pew at Catholic
church. More than so persons were
injured by falls.
Two additional deaths due to the
storm were reported. Frederick b.
Mcdonald, a travelling salesman, OF
White Plains, N. Y, was found frozen
to death on Staten Island.
Rudolph Carlson was tossed from
: barge as it pitched at anchor off Bay
: Ridge. He drowned despite the efforts
of his wife to throw him line.
