AND HEAVY RAIN.

Damage to Property, Railways and
Shipping Extends Over Wide Area
Snow and Pitiless Wind
Prevails.

Chicago.-From the Atlantic coast
to the Mississippi river and from
Mackinac to the gulf Of Mexico the
eastern part Of. the United States was
ravaged Sunday by one of the wild
storms which annually usher in the
winter season in this portion Of the
country.

It was astonisningly free from loss of
life and from great financial loss.
Three trainmen were reported killed
in a wreck near Utica, N. Y, due to
the storm, but at midnight this was
the only tragedy. Loss of made land
along Chicago's water front, valued at
$4,000. was the largest item of dam
age to material things.
Snow and PitiIess Wind.
Snow and pitiless wind were fea-
lures everywhere reported except that
in the vicinity of New York it rained.
Minor shipping in New York harbor
suffered the usual damage from parted
shore lines and cables, but the bay
was free from disaster.
Shipping on the great lakes suffered.
Throughout the east sleet, laden
with ice, encountered the ground
Pittsburg found itself marooned from
wire communication; Cleveland was
little better off; New York was cut off
from the west and north, all within a
few hours, but the emergency crews
seemed equal to the occasion, and line
after line Of telegraph wire was put
up again, connecting the country.
Railway traffic was impeded.
Through trains ran hours behind
schedule in western Pennsylvania and
eastern Ohio, and local passenger
trains in many instances were an
nulled or rerouted.
