became edged und lu the Ice Five thousand Ind helpless II persons watched tho sixth boat with breathless interest I had slow work before I The wharves on tho Brooklyn Mda became crowded with onlookers Thin tug crawled through a narrow aisle of water to the big cako where the group of threo men stood It pushed tho manyaero cako slowly up to tho wharf and tho mel leaped off Then It Htonmed for the

It was no time for jokes and they WOIO not well received Onco again the Stock Exchange acknowledged business a farce and nearly mary other rendezvous of men sighed for Its habitues who were held back by tho general paralysis of dully lit 1 It woro possible the town took tbo storm too seriously inniunuch as omplo ors often reached tho business places to find tholr hands not thoro while In other places the employees came to find tho bosbes absent Thousands of stores and offices were thus only half equipped The barrooms both up nnd down town wero exceptions They all seemed to bo packed from

transportation and us the deslro to cot down town was modified to moderation by the perfect understanding that business would not be worth talking about for a day or two the two car trains albeit not very close together were nearly sufficient for tho needs of the morning all of which goes to show that tho expedient of running light nnd frequent trains should have been adopted early enough to insure tho keeping open of the road MOUNTAINOUS SNOW DIIFTB Tho nspoot of the streets up town nnd downtown as well prepared the people for the repetition tUtors of their troubles of transportation and made them broad and comprehensive in their review tho situation boforo they took tho leap to struggle toward office shop or store The drifts that lined the north sides of tho cross streets and tho west sides of tho avenues wore In many plnoes llvo nnd six feet high Areas werefilled up and their railIngs covered while stoops wore hidden under white mounds The efforts of the shovel brigade that was early put to work soon cut narrow paths along those sidewalks The drifts rose higher under the contributions of these workers who piled the many cublo yards thus removed upon the tops of the huge drifts at the curbs In many places this resulted In huge white heaps that to the crossbars of the reached lampposts On the other tides of the streets bare spots and little drifts alternated Sometimes for whole blocks and alwa at oae or more points in a block the drifts extended into the roadways In the cross streets and a the narrow thoroughfares aorceiy one wholo block was passable and more wagons were soon stalled and left with thoso that had been out nil night Those who started gaily out with fresh horses and tho comfortable consciousness that the storm was over wore sppoillly undeceived to tholr expectations of getting anywhere A block or two of travelling traoln would use uo tho liorsc or horses nnd one or two experiences of digging I way through drifts would use up the

any of cm said Superintendent Newell of tho Broadway and Seventh uvonuo street car line when a SUN reporter asked him yesterday afternoon how Ida road had fared In tho storm And said tho superintendent were coming to life as soon us any of em but no ono can tell when thats going to be Of cottrso wo shant run any cars todaj and probably not tomorrow cither I have about 250 men out shovelling today 75 of whom are Italians and men who wanted a job The rest are some of our conductors mind drivers The superintendent had good many more mon than 250 at work early In tho morning Each of the nowlyhlrod workers was to get 125 for his days work Pretty soon the police came around with stern notifications to tho occupants ot buildings to clean off their sidewalks immediately The laborers found their services at premium and In a great many cases they loft tho street car tracks for the more lucrative task of cleaning the sidewalks Tho slush which formed on the tracks nt the bcelnnlngof the blizzard was frozen of course und was to be dug away with pickaxes It does not scorn as if cars could be running the length of Broadway linen three days though superintendent Newell says lie bus 1000 men promised him for today The workers yesterday only cleared thin trucks of the drifts between Thirtyeighth und fcortynintb streets The The worst drifts upon the Broadway track are nt Union and Mudlson squares and near Fiftieth street The Broadway road has twocars snowed in ono at Bowling Green and the other between Eighth and Ninth streets The Bev enth avenue cars are all In At oclock yeaerdav morning Superin tendent Moore of the Sixth avenue surface railroad left the road stables at the corner of Fortyfourth street and Sixth avenue with a corps of three hundred workers armed with pickaxes and shovels The workers comprised nearly nil tha drivers and conductors of the road and Italians and other chance laborers The men were distributed trom Vesey to Fifty ninth street and they went te work shovelllnr snow with a wld Particular attention was paid to the Sixth avenue part of the road from Carmine street up Before the day was done the upper part nf the avenue was cleared of the drifts but the tracks were still clogged with ice so that car locomotion over thorn was impossible It will require four or five trips of the sweeper over the tracks after the Ice Is off before the cars can be run Superintendent Moore said that it there was no more blizzard he hoped to start cars this morning The Third Avenue Horse Car Company had sap men nt work yesterday clearing the tracks They were put to work early and many were kept at It during the night Snow oloughu and sweepers were useless I have been In this business said VicePresident Hart since there was a horsa car and 1 never before know it to be necessary to use picks on the road But we had to get picks today and we couldnt get along without them The great trouble Is with the lea which formed on the ratlswhen the first snow fell on top of the rain on Sunday night Several of the horses were badly strained be fore the running of the earn was given up but none was lost Half a dozen cars were stalled nil but one of which had been brought back to time stables at Sixtysixth street by oclock I 31 Thin Harlem Cable rood which Is part of the Third avenue system had four cars running Monday but none yesterday There was no trouble with the cable Itself No attempt was made to start a horse car yesterday The Second avenue horse car line started out to clear the tracks from the stables at Ninety sixth Street southward About 250 mon were at work with shovels The company means to start the cars as soon as It can clear the tracks down to Houston street Fifteen cars were started yesterday and only three could be extricated Work on the track was continued during the night Fourth avenue horse cars ware out lost night nnd were carrying passengers en a portion of the road from the depot to below Twentythird btrcet People cheered them as they went fAZR AND WAKHER TODAY That the Prediction That the Iooal Signal Office Makes Vaefflclallr Sergeant Dunn the chief Signal Service officer at this station was not much bettor oft yesterday as to reports from other stations than he was on blizzard Monday He was able to give a good account of the course and progress of the storm but in the matter ef deductions and probabilities he wished to be distinctly understood as not speaking officially as he was not in communication with the signal ofllco at Washington The storm centre ho said was yesterday oft the New England coast and still elllngoastwnrdly In New England they were getting on Tuesday what was experienced here the day before Here us there the btorm centre was at sea off the coast However severe the Now Yorkers may be disposed to consider the meteorological treatment they have had they must bear In mind that they were only on the edge of the disturbance bergeant Dunn says that thero were fiercer winds near Its heart than vvu felt here and he Is positive that there will be many reports of suffering and disaster from tho sea along the coast Ho also says that the storm which was one of the most remarkable that has bean recorded since sclentlllc observations began to bo made will cross tbo Atlantic with little loss of Its strength This means In addition to great perils for ocean voyagers probability of a weather experience approximating ours for London and other Kuropeuu cities Tha remarkable feature ot time storm was the combination of bleu winds and heavy snow Wind btorma of eiiuul severity are not entirely unlioard of and lust as heavy falls of snow have burdened the liiMrumonts of measurement But to get them together is a now and not altogsthnr pleasant variation hercennt Dunn with the reservation already noted Mild that the weather today would be likely to be fair ami silently warmer with moderate winds homo slight snow squalls might Intervene The lowest temperature was above ut 7 A and the greatest velocity of tho wind vvns 60 miles an hour at 2 oclock In the morning From that It gradually slacked on being ut 2 and 15 at midnight The bnioinetar began to rise early In thin day mind continued gradually Its upward course The temperature nt midnight was 14 and Her gaunt Dutinh assistant repeated then his us hiirunco that the whither today would proba bly bo fair and slIghtly warmer The SfHyiir and the Wire Mayor Hewitt wild yesterday that he was in no way responsible for the failure to get the olectrio wires underground that he was the author of the original bill under which the Sub was CommissIoners wore appointed and that he Iind voted for every practical measure toget tIme wires underground Ho felt that lie had mme ull hoi could to get the

even as far as Albany the snow lay piled up for several feet Mr Depow said that he had tried to employ more men to clear away the snow but had found It Impossible The present condition of the stalled
