Traffic Gets Hard Blow.
Railroad and streetcar traffic, ferry
boat service and telegraph wires out
side as we'll as in New York City, and
Long Island and New Jersey, railways
we're tied up, and even In Brooklyn and
The Bronx serious delays in the sched-
ules of streetcars were encountered.
Sixteen persons en- route from New
York by automobile to sperd Easter
Sunday at Belle Harbor and Rockaway
Park were stalled by the huge drifts
that collected along the Boulevard, at
Edgemere. They were unable to get
train and at length succeeded In having
the proprietor Of the Halfway House,
a summer resort, open his doors, start
the furnace and shelter them for the
night
Pennsylvania trains experienced the
most difficulty south of Washington,
and the Richmond express, due at SOP,
until $3.50. Trains from New Jersey
Island trains averaged half an hour
behind time.
Motormen on the Hudson & Manhat-
tan Railroad found difficulty with
snow-covered switches, and many OF
the trains were Withdrawn. Trolley
cars between Newark and Jersey City
were practically abandoned last night,
All the surface cars of the b. K. 7.
were tied up at different times between
noon and 6 o'clock, but with the excep-
ton of two lines all were In operation
In the evening. The company had fifty
sweepers and twenty snow ploughs on
duty. Several cars were held up by
trucks, which blocked the tracks for
periods of an hour and longer.
Trolley Cars Stalled.
Trains to Rockaway Beach were from
two TO three hours late, and several OF
the trolley lines were out of commits
sion altogether. The Long Island Rail-
way, however, was not caught unpre-
pared, for President Peters ordered the
snow ploughs out on every branch half
an hour after the storm started, and
few trains were actually stalled, al
though many were delayed.
From Montauk Point to Hunters
Point, Long Island was buried under
the heaviest snowfall of the year, and
highways and fences disappeared COM
pletcly.
In The Bronx traffic was hampered
everywhere and almost paralyzed In
some places. Cars on the l49th Street
line, generally operated on iive-min-
ute Roadway, moved every forty-five
minutes, and the ffteen-minute trip
across the Washington Bridge TO Man
haitian took nearly an hour. The Union
Railway had all its ploughs out. but
they found difficulty In keeping the
tracks and switches clear.
East River ferries were delayed
slightly because of the difficulty In
handling trucks. The North River
boats were tied up considerably be-
Cause of the fog and the snow. and
were unable to maintain their SEIZED
ules.
Telephone and telegraph wires were
Gown in Central New Jersey and in
Middlesex. Monmouth, Somerset, Mer-
GER and Union counties; electric wires
were blown 70 the ground and street
car lines suspended. The drifts de-
layed trains on the Philadelphia &
Reading, Pennsylvania, Lehigh and
New Jersey Central, and at Metuchen
the snow was reported fourteen inches
deep.
Nine inches Of snow we've recorded
