Storm Cripples Railway and
Trolley Lines.
SNOW THREE FEET DEEP
Zero Weather Adds to Discomfort In
Northern and Western Parts Of
the Commonwealth.

New York, Feb. ia snow storm
rivalling in severity the famous biz
card of 1883 ragged to the accompani.
ment of zero weather in the upper
Hudson valley, the Mohawk valley and
the Northern and Western parts OF
| New York state. Many of the smaller
railroad and trolley lines were tied
Up and communication generally para
lyzed.
Toward night the fall of snow
ceased in many districts, only to be
| followed by a return to the zero
weather and high winds which have
| had New York state in their grip for
four days. Four deaths were caused
in this city by the storm and the total
fatalities due to the recent cold spell
and stormy conditions number seven
teen.
While the snowfall in the metropo-
lis was only ten inches and other
points in the lower Hudson valley as
upper valley reported fall of twenty
four inches. At Albany the blanket
was fourteen inches in thickness and
from points north and west of that
city phenomenal falls for these Sec
tons were reported, the snow ranging
from twenty-four to thirtysix inches
in depth.
Reports from most of these points
said that a further decided drop in
temperature had taken place and that
a biting wind, reaching in some places
velocity of seventy miles an hour,
was adding to the discomfort and suf-
fering. The southern tier of counties
generally were affected. as we'll as
the more northerly districts.
New Jersey Also Suffers.
Conditions in Northern New Jersey
were almost as bad, although the fall
Of snow was not as heavy there, rang.
ing from eight to twelve inches.
Trolley line service was crippled Sc.
riously, If not wholly suspended, al.
most throughout the state and on
many railway lines traffic virtually
was, halted.
The abandonment of it's regular pas
senger train schedule was announced
by the Erie railroad. Only one train
was sent out by the Lackawanna and
none came in.
Lashed into fury by a heavy gale,
which swept down the coast, high
waves again attacked the Seabright,
N. j., peninsula and placed it under
two feet of water, causing the popula.
ton to seek safety on the mainland.
In the upper parts of Manhattan all
surface line traffic was suspended
and the Same was true of a greater
part of the Bronx, outlying districts
of Brooklyn and almost all Of Staten
Island. ..r,
Weather conditions of the last few
days have been so unfavorable to
