SWEEPS OVER
EAST COAST
Ten Deaths Are Reported in Vi

City.
TRAFFIC IS INTERRUPTED
Thousands of Commuters Marooned
On Account Of
Storm.
INTERRUPTED

New York, March 3.-With the
temperatures rising and fair wealth
err promised New York and vicinity
today began to emerge from the
storm which railroad and telegraph
company officials assert has been the
most destructive in this section OF
the country since the memorable
blizzard of 1888.
Reports from other cities show
ed the damage caused by wind,
snow, rain and sleet to be wide
spread. From Cleveland on the west
and Baltimore on the south, to the
Canadian and Nova Scotian borders,
the storm has been general. In
New England further damage is ex-
pected from rivers and streams swol-
len by melting ice and snow. In
and near New York ten persons
persisted Sunday and yesterday and
several fatalities were reported else
where.
Except by roundabout routes and
with the aid of a few wires running
underground, commercial New York
last night still remained cut off
from telegraph communication with
the west and south.
The public service corporations
reached Philadelphia by way of
Montreal and had a few wires to
Washington, Baltimore, Pittsburgh
and Scranton, Wilmington, Rich
mond and Reading. For the most
part there were telephone circuits. 1t
will be at least a week, 1t was stat
ed, before service can be restored to
normal conditions.
Telegraph company officials said
they could not estimate the cost of
making repairs. The loss to one
company alone was placed at $780,
600 for New York and vicinity.
Citing the lesson taught at the
time Washington was cut off from
on the day of the
Taft Inauguration, telephone COM
pany officials said that at no time
has telephone service to the national
capital been cut off completely. At
ter the experience in 1909 wires to
Washington were placed under
ground and during the present dis
turbance, according to the telephone
officials proved the value of the
change.
