STORM SWEEPS CLEVELAND.
All Communication by Telegraph,
Telephone, Rail or Water Suspend.
ed for 30 Hours.

Cleveland. Nov. 10.--The most Sc
we're winter storm in many years en-
folded Cleveland and the immediate
vicinity Sunday afternoon and night
and Monday morning, doing many
thousand dollars damage. Commun-
ication with the outside world by tele-
graph and telephone, rail and water
was cut off for 80 hours.
Railroad trains were from IL to IS
hours late. Hundreds of telephone
poles in the city were blown down and
street car traffic tied up. The en-
tangled wires, many of them heavily
charged, kept most Of the pedestrians
off the streets. Driven by a wind which
reached a velocity Of nearly Is miles
an hour Sunday night, the snow fell
to a depth Of from five inches to five
feet in the drift. One man was blown
from the top of a box car and killed.
Many street car passengers had mar
row escapes when poles fell on the
cars and the windows were blown in
by the winds as were many big plate
glass windows. Not for several days
will communication with all parts of
the city be established. All except
the downtown section of the city was
in darkness all Sunday night.
The gas pressure remained steady,
preventing much suffering among the
poor.
Several days must elapse before thu
Ice can be dug from the car tracks
and the broken trolley wires restored.
The trains which were due in Cleve
land last night arrived early this
morning and departed at snaips
pace. No trains left for the South
until late today.
