Forty-six Miles an Hour Registered . by the Wind-Ganges in Milwankee, Apprehensions of Another Rail- road Blockade Thronghont the Northwest. How the City of Chicago Re. ceived the Unwelcome Guest. Intramural Communication of All Kinds Reduced to a Minimum. More or Less Delay to Al Traine on the Rairoads, and Several Abandoned. Huge Fields of Ice Driven by the Wind Against the Crib. A Tug-Boat Tied Up in the Ice-Fieldr Three Miles from Shore. OUTSIDE. MILWAUKEE. Special Dispateh 1o The Chicago Tribune. MmwAuKEE, March 19.—The most terrific storm of snow and sleet experienced this notably severe winter burst upon Milwaukee early this morningz. By noon the snow was so deep and-the storm so rough that ail street-cars were taken off.” The noon trains from Chicago and westward arrived two to four hours late. All other trains have been suspended. The 4:30 trains to Chicago went out, but are yeported unable to reach that city. The Wisconsin Central, Lake Shore, and Northern Division of the St. Paul are already in very bad condition. The promise is for a three-days’ storm, and as the sleet is breaking down the telegraph lines in all directions business-men are alarmed. A strong north wind is blowing, but as the snow is wet there will be lit- tle driftine.. About - 4 * oclock this afternoon the last wire between this point and St. Paul broke ‘down,. though between here and Chicago they are working yet. Rail- road officials have ne definit information to give. The whole situation is chaotle. The storm is so geueral that the interruption of- all kinds of communication for several days is feared. The storm on the lake to-night is one of almost unprecedented fury. The wind'blows a perfect hurricane, and the air is filled with sleet. The propellers Ludinz- ton and Menominee are supposed to be safe on the other side, but it is possible that they have been caught in attempting to return to this port. The Nashua is at Ludington, and the Depere arrived here about the time that the storm broke this morning. Lateu—It is learned Iate to-night that dur- ing the evening there has been considerable drifting along the various lines. ‘The falling snow was dry for a time, and the wind pile: it up in immense barriers very quickly. The general expression is that the storm now pre- vailing is the worst ever knownin the North- west. The snow is already about & foot deep on the level. ‘The wind las been very changeful during the day, but_mostly froif the north ang east. It is predicted that the weather will be colder to-morrow, with a high wind from the northiwes The velocity of the wind at this hour, %l o'clock) is thirty-six miles per hour. .The rate was forty-seven wiles at onetime this afternoon. [ MADISON, WIS. Special Dispateh ta The Chicago Tribune. Manisoy, Wis,, March 19,—Another bdliz- zard, exceeding in violence the one which prevailed here two weBks ago, has been biow- mg here all day. It commenced to suow about 8 o’clock this morning, A heavy northwest wind immediately sprung :up, which increased in violence until it became a perfect gale. Abouta foot of snow las fallen up to 8 o’clock to~night, which is drift- ing very badly, making the streets nearly iupassable, and completely blockading alt the railroads. The noon train on tne St. Paul Road left for Milwaukee full of legis- | lators, got as far as McFarlang, six miles east of shere, when it got stuck, but succeeded in backing out, and returned to the city. The Northwestern train is repogted t be stuck twenty miles out of Chicago. All trainson the Prairie DuChien,and SunPrairi and Pm‘mfe Divisions ot the St. Pau{ Roa are abandoned. The snow is wet and packs very hard, and the prospects are it will take 2 week to dig the roads out if it continues all night, which it has every indication of doing” at present. It is reported that the storm only extends as far north as Baraboo. 1t probably covers the same extent of terri- ory as the terrible storm of two weeks ago. ST. LOUIS. St. Louts, Mo., March 19.—The heaviest snow-storin of the winter prevafied here all day, with a strong driving wind from the west, but the snow melted as fast as it fell, ‘The streets to-night were filled with slush, in some places several inches deep. Dis- patehes from different parts of the State say the heaviest snow of the season has fallen sincé last night, especially that part north.of the Missouri River. = 'The average depth of snow is over 4 foot, but in some places it is two feet deep. Railroad travel is a good deal impeded, and business suffering, but no trains are reported abandoned. ‘I'ne snow will probably disappear in two or threa days, and freshets may be expected. EEOKUK, IA. Special Dlapateh to The Chicago Tribune, * KEeoxuk, Ia., March 19.—A fearful snow- storm set in during last night, and has con- tinued to grow more farious all day. The wind has been blowing a gale, and the snow is badly drifted. On the levél it now mieas- ures over a foot deep, and thereare no signs of the storm abatng. Itis almost impossi- ble for persons to get about thecity. ‘The early morning tramns succeeded In getting . through on time, but all afternoon and even-- trains are reported blockaded at different points along the lines. ‘The telegraph wires are down in nearly every direction. STREATOR, JLL % Special Disputch to The Chicago Tridune STREATOR, IIL, March 19.—It commmed raining about 13 o’clock last night and soon turned into snow, sleet, Tain;
