PENNSY EMBARGO NOW
affects WILMINGTON

The snow and fog Of last week so
hampered the hauling of freight in
and around New York that the con-
gestion, which has been a serious
feature for some time, became worse
instead Of better, and as a result the
Pennsylvania Railroad has declared
an embargo against all freight for
the New York district, except food
stuffs and coal for necessary pur-
poses.
Freight congestion in New York has
been growing serious for several
weeks. and recently some of the rail-
roads declared complete embargo,
stopping the shipping Of all freight
except actual necessities into the dis
trict.
The Pennsylvania, however, was
able to handle its. business up to a
certain point. when it embargoed GER
tain commodities. and hoped to be
able to lift this restriction before

and fog of last week. and it was noI

since the epidemic Of 1883 is now
sweeping over Delaware, and is

sion has about 40 men laid up with
the grip.
The schools in the city have been
greatly affected by the epidemic and
some Of the rural schools have had 20

So widespread has the disease be-
come that il is interfering with busi-
ness. In one large department store
35 clerks are on the sick list Many Of
them are in a serious condition. Doc
tors are about as busy as they care to
be at this time.
