 ' FROM BLIZZARD
Railroads Now Running Close
 to Schedule.
MANY WIRES STILL DOWN.

Greatest Damage Done Was to Tele-
 graph Lines About New York - In
 New Jersey Miles of Wires Are Down = Conditions Improve In and
 Around PhiladeIphia.
 Marked improvement was shown In the transit conditions in and about New York, and suburban and the ele- vated and street cars move somewhere near their schedules.
 The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western reports that its trains are now running close to schedule. On the New York Central the through trains are arriving about an hour late, and the same Is true on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad.
 The greatest damage done was to the telegraph lines about New York. In New Jersey hundreds of miles of wires are down, and at one time there were only three lines out of New York which were working. One of these, running to Canada, was the only link of comrnu- nication between New York and points west and south. The other lines were to Albany and to Boston.
 Another death was added to the twelve already caused by the storm. This was an unidentified man, whose body was found buried in the snow in New York.
 Philadelphia Is rapidly recovering from the effects of the blizzard. The Philadelphia and Reading railway now are running trains. The Pennsylvania railroad announced that its passenger trafac over the New York division is now normal The last of the four tracks buried under a fifteen foot snow drift at Bristol, Pa, was cleared.
 Trains to the west and south are pro ceeding from Philadelphia with little delay, and all suburban steam lines are open. Freight traffic in all direc- nons remains practically at stand still.
 Mails from New York are greatly de layed.

Weeps 5itteriy on Entering Auburn.
 Stay of Death Sentence Likely.
 The proximity of the death chair in the little gray stone building a few hundred yards from her cell caused Cynthia Buffum to break down soon after she entered the Auburn CN. YJ prison.
 Safe from the eyes of the world, she threw off the indifference that charac- terized her since she was first accused of numbering her husband. and wept repeatedly as she, lay on the cot in the cell once occupied by Mary Farmer the Watertow1 murderess, who was the first woman to die in the electric chair in Auburn. Her collapse came as Matron Margaret Clancy of Little Valley and Sheriff Dempsey said good by. She was inconsolable and refused to be comforted. ...... -.

Timber assessments will probably be

The board heard the protest of w.
L. Schoetler. tax agent of the Great
Northern railroad late yesterday at
ternoon against the assessment made In
the northern counties which the road
passes and in which it has property.
According to the assessment of this
road it is given an average value OF
$53, 200 per mile. He declared that this
assessment is too high and it should be
lowered in Justice to the railroad. He
petitioned the commission to make
lower mileage assessment of that line
when considering common carriers.

in the air near Elten, Belgium. The

Der left Berlin two days after the war
was declared, proceeding into Belgium
on q troop train. Her story of the
fight follows;
ION reaching Elten, on the frontier,
we were startled at the sound of firing.
Our attention was attracted aloft,
where we saw several aeroplanes
circling about.
1.-THE soldiers told us that several
of the aeroplanes were French and
that their pilots probably were on a
accommodating expedition. Several Ger
man aeroplanes also were in the air
and shots were exchanged between
them and the Frenchmen.
THE train halted so suddenly that we
were jammed against each other. The
soldiers hastily disembarl1ed and train
ed their guns in the direction of the
Frenchmen. One of the French ma
chimes was seen to wabble and fall
precipitately to the ground. Whether
it was caused by the German gunfire
we were not able to learn"
Mrs. West said it took her party
three days to reach Rotterdam.
