NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—A heavy wind- storm, accompanied by rain and later by snow, struck New York to-day and for a time seriously interfered with all rall- road and steamship tramec, as well as with business in general. Surface car lines, the elevated rallroad and all ferry boats were compelled to abandon their schedules and run as best they could. Part of the Third avenue elevated line was tied up completely. The tle-up was so severe that even the ‘Stock Exchange began the day, with an extremely small attendance. Toward noon the snow ceased to fall, but the wind continued high and it be= came much colder. The maximum ve= locity of the wind was forty-elght miles an hour. Telegraph service was much hampered by the storm. Both the West- ern Unlon and Postal companies reported that their systems had been shaken up. The worst conditions for the telegraph companies were in New England and In the Hudson Valley, although business to the south was somewhat delayed. Dispatches from up the State showed that the storm was severe In the country, districts and that the snowfall in the in- terior was much heavier than in this city. During the storm to-day several barges that were being towed up the river broke adrift near Yonkers and one of them sank, Three brothers were on the barge that sank. One was drowned and the other two were found on the beach in an unconscious condition. BOSTON, Dec. 5.—After an unusually long period of mild weather a storm from the gulf brought winter to New England to-day with great suddenness and for the first time fhis season covered the entira region with snow to the depth of eight inches. The storm was severe in South- western New England, where there was much wire prostration and delay in rai road traflc. New England received the full benefit of a northeast gale, which in some places attamed a velocity of forty miles an hour. The only shipwreck re- ported was that of a schooner which ran on Dog Bar breakwater in Gloucesten harbor. No lives were lost. A fishing vessel from Boston, the James R. Clark, ran in the breakers off Man- chester, Mass., this afternoon, but she is expected to be pulled out of danger. Seven of the twelve men on board landed in safety. A bad railroad wreck due to the storm occurred at South'Ashburnham, in which one brakeman was killed and another fatally injured. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5.—The snow and wind storm which swept over the eastern part of Pennsylvania during the morning abated late this afterncon. The fall of! snow in this city and surround- ing country amounted to about four inches, but the greatest damage was done by the high wind, which at 11 o’clock at- tained..a velocity,of fifty-four miles an.. hour. Telegraph communication between this city and Pittsburg was practically paralyzed and suburban street car and railroad traffic was badly crippled. During the height of the storm Georgs Cheverton. drove an express wagon into a trolley car and was instantly Kkilled and two persons received fractured limbs by the collision of two trolley cars in ‘West Philadeiphia. In the anthracite coal reglon the fall of snow amounted to elght inches, but mining operations were not seriously interfered with. SPECIAL BARGAINS Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. PHONE SOUTH 292.
