Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. NEw Yors, Dec. 2.—The storm which occurred yesterday—of which I attempred to | inform you, but doubt whether the informas tion got through, owing to the accumulation of business at the point where the wirés were intact—has finally died away, and we are reaping the results of its wrath. It would be impossible to give a complete- de- seription of the destruction that was caused by the high wind and by the burdénsome accumulation .of ~ice on the telegraph wiggs.- and poles,r as well- as upon the trees in the parks. In a word, "it may be .sald that - nearly every public and private telephone line in this city was destroyed, all communication with the out~ side world entirely cut off, so'far as the tele- | graph lines are concerned, and New Yorkal- most completely isolated. This, of course, has proven a great drawback to-the business interests of the city, but it has been so com- . plete that there was : 3 NO ESCAPING IT. The telegraph companies suddenly found themselves bereft of telegraphic communica- tion, not only West, but East and North as ' well, and, while they set at work promptly to restore the lost connection, they have mnot been: able to do so up to this hour (5p. m. of Saturday). The wires reaching from New York to -Jersey City were not in- terfered with by the storm, and are in good working order. These are grouped in cables, and lie on the north river-bed from shore to shore, bfit, on the shore ends, where ex- posed, the cables were sufficiently strong to resist the action of the storm. ° TOE ONE PRIME REASON | for the interruption of the telegraph com= panies’ lines in the city arose from the inter- ference with the wires by those" of the various public and private tele- phone companies. - These latter wires are much smaller than those used by the Western Union, American Union, or the Atlantic & Pacific Companies, and the result is that they have parted in every di- rection, and hang over the main telegraph wires like cards, and have become almost inextricably tangled. When the number of these telegraph lines, as well'ns those of the great telegraph companies in a city like New York is taken into consideration, the almost utter roin of the system arising from such causes as have prevalled in the last twenty-four hours may be readily under- stood. 5 ONE OF THE GREATEST DANGERES TO THE CITY 2 was the interruption of police and fire alarm communication. Last night but one station was connected with headquarters, and to- day the situation is the same. This has ne- cessitated the return to the old system of patrolling the streets, and, in case of fire, the alarm Is to be carried to the nearest engine- house, and the police are used as patrolmen in connection with the Fire Depertment _ There has been & mounted patrol also estab- lished, and In those districts where there are towers watch has been established, and bells are to be rung according to the old fashion. - TIFE DAMAGE DONE TO THE.TREES and shrubbery in Central Park by the storm _was very great, and it will cost the city thou- sands of dollars to make good theloss. As soon as the thick coating of ice began to spread itself over the branches and tiigs it became evident that there would be a great deal of destruction, and, in the afternoon, 2s \the officers went on patrol, they saw on every Thand the havec which the storn had caused. Along the Mall the stately old elms on either side became covered with ice, and the gale in its fary had swungabout their Jofty branckes until many of them had broken off, and were strewed over the frozen crust of snow in every direction.* Itis feared that several of these trees will have to be cat down. THE PRESS OF NEW YORX takes oceasion to bring to the public mind the necessity of placing telegraph wires underground instead of stringing them in the air. Such an arrangement would render impossible a catastrophe of the present description. The telegraph companies have 1abored under many disadvantages the past twenty-four hours. It has been mecessary to convey messages by special courier by ratl to Elizabeth or Paterson, N. J., or to. Will- Yams Bridge, Westchestér County, N. Y., some -fifteen miles above New -York City. _At these points- an additional force 6F operators, ‘ete., was statfoned, and business was' transmitted as rapidly .as +was possible” Duringyesterday the Western Union Company sent dispatches by special messenger toPhiladelphia -and other cities near at hand in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, and alsp received them In.the 4| same manner.” ", A SOME JDEA OF THE DAMAGE DONE HERE || ‘may be gleaned ‘from from:the following | siatements: ‘The New York Telepkone
