The Blizzard.

The storm which occurred On
March 4, while a severe one in this
immediate vicinity, with probably
the heaviest snow of the winter,
blocked the roads to some extent
and did considerable damage to
telephone and telegraph wires, but
the damage was trifling here where
the full force of the blizzard was
not felt. Oeutering about Havre de
Grace, the havoc wrought through
out that section and as far south as
Washington, was without parallel.
Especially Is this true in regard to
telegraph and telephone lines, it
being the worst storm in the history
of telegraphy, all lines being pros.
trated and Baltimore and Wash.
ington completely cut off from out.
side telegraphic communication,
except by wireless. Railroad ser
vice was paralyzed, thousands of
visitors to the Inauguration and
delegations expecting to participate
in the inaugural parade, not being
able to reach Washington at all.

Of Havre de Grace, were among the
organizations that failed to reach
the Capital City, and were com.
PEELED to remain in Baltimore.
Several trains over the Baltimore
Central Division were snowbound
Thursday evening. The paytrain
and the 4:45 northbound passenger
train, as well as the 6:25 north.
bound passenger train, stalled be-
tween Nottingham and Oxford.
The southbound passenger train
due here at 6:57 p. m. was held up
at Oxford on account of the block.
ade and did not reach Rising Sun
until about one o'clock in the
morning. Messrs. Joseph Z. Riale,
Frank Hambleton and William B.
Bechtel were passengers on this
train. Miss Genevieve Turner was
a passenger on the train leaving
here at 4:45 p. m. and did not
reach Philadelphia until nearly
four O'Clock Friday morning.
AS a result of the heavy snow
and mild weather the roads
throughout this section are in a
terrible condition, some of them
being almost impossible.
