WILMINGTON, Del, March 13.—
The belaware Hatlroad Company has
succeeded iu re-establishing telegraphic
communication along its line, und,
through the courtesy of superintendent
Mills, fee 7 has just been furs
nished with the following dispateh:
*‘1 semd the following report from
Lewes this morning: One tug boat
sunk out of sight; wreeking company
steamer sunk near rallroad pier, one
tug ashore; 23 sailing vessels of various
kinds ashore; heaviest loss ever oc-
curred in that harbor: itis estimated
that about 25 lives were lost; but two
bodies recovered as yet.
Reports have also reached here that
the iron railroad pier at Lewes parted
in the middle during the storm, leaving
some people on the outer end of
whose fate is unknown.
West URESTER, PA., March 15,-As
vel no railroad communication has been
had, and the snow blockade on the Me-
dia und Frazer lines remains unbroken,
but it is thought that trains will be run-
ning | to-morrow morning. This
morning sixteen of the one Randies
snow-bound passengers at Frazer started
to walk to this place, a distance of only
seven nHes, and eleven of them came
through, while the others became ex-
hausted and sought shelter in farm
houses along the way. The report is
that over one hundred men, women and
children slept in the little station at
Frazer, and all they could get to eat
this morning was a cup of coffee and a
slice of bread. During the night the
floor of the waiting room took fire from
the open fire-place, and it was only
through the utmost and timely efforts
that the flames were extinguished and
the bmilding saved.
At Woodland Station there are two
trains covered with soow, with only
about three feet of the smoke stack
showing. Five locomotives reached
here from Media to-night, and these
will be used in the morning for clearing
the Frazer branch and liberating the
blockaded trains at Woodland. The
passengers of these trains have taken
refuge in the farm houses of the neigh-
borhood. Conductor Griffith and
Baggage Master Munshower and Engi-
neer Buxton, all of this place, who were
injured in the collision yesterday al
Clifton, are reported doing well, No
mail whatever has been received or
sent since Saturday last, and business
has been greatly impeded. At some
pointson the Philadelphia and Baltl-
more Central Rallroad there are cuts
twenty feet deep completely filled with
snow, and the same condition exists on
the WHmington and Northern Hall-
road. Postmaster I’yle of this place,
has an office filed with accumulated
mail matter awaiting transportation.

zard that bas prevalled since Sanday

taken off and the car abandoned.
Many of the streets are closed to

trains were blockaded to-day between
New York and Albany. Of this num-

Yonkers, Only one truin was moved
this side of Utica, that was the SL
Louis express; which was pulled out of
a snowbank near Spuyten Duyvil. This
train left Buffalo at 6 o’clock on HSun-
day night. It was stalled at 8 o’clock
on Monday a short distance from
Spuyten Duyvil Station. The train
could not make any further progress
because there was no water mn the
engine. The passengers suffered greatly
from lack of food and water, A parly

had gone but two car lengths when
the impracticability of the scheme was

World's summing up of the situation
is as follows: Not a train in or out of
New York to-day. Not a single mall
was received or sent, To all intents
and purposes, New York wascomplete-
ly eut off from the outer world as if
located in the middle of the Atlantic
Ocean,
The Pennsylvania Raliroad Company
had 4000 wen engaged to-night shovel-
ing snow from its tracks, and hopes to
send a train through to ’hiladelphia.
Fresh beef and vegetables will be
scarce by Thursday, and, as a matter
of fact, New York 1s seldom provision-
ed beyond 48 hours, and we have re.
ceived no supplies since Saturday last,
Such despatches as have been re-
ceived here from points in the interior
of the State indicate that the storm has
been equally severe in every section,
Despatches have been received from
Buffalo, Saratoga. Utica, Syracuse and
Albany. They all speak of the unpre-
cedented fall of snow, of a terrific gale
and of blockaded railroads, There are
only 24 members of the Legislature in
Albany, and the Legislature has been
bliged to adjourn for want of a quo-
rum, At one A, M., the weather here
was somewhat moderated. The fall of
| snow has ceased and the atmosphere is
| brighter.
Many trains
are stalled between
stations on the Hudson River and
| Harlem Road. Officials said yesterday
| that 40 tralps were snowed in, and
heir efforts to break through the
mow drifts had completely failed. Not
{| strain reached the depot during the
{ lay. Most roads report similar condi-
on affairs, Passengers suffered
treat discomfort, Ferry boats are only
un at long intervals. All Eastern
vires are down,
One of the most serious results of the
dizzard is an im pe nding milk famine,
