During the past thirty-six been Lan
caster baa bad an experience that liaa
seldom been equalled In Its history. In
deed the town baa been almost abnt out
from tbe world and all this trouble la owing
te tbe aovera mew aterm of Sunday night,
and tbe high wlnda that followed, canting
unusually large drifts. Daring the whole
of Monday and last night, net enetraln
reached Lancaater from Philadelphia or any
ether point (tat of tbta city en tbe Penn
ey I van la railroad, and the people have al al
mejt forgotten what a Philadelphia news
paper leeks like, Tbe trouble lsnotoon lsnetoon lsnoteon
11 aed te tbe railroad alone. The telegraph
companies are also sufferer. The wires of
the Weatern Union and Biltlmere &
Ohie companies were down and it wastm wastm
pessible te get any message te Philadelphia
lat night Luge piles of measagea that
bad come from the West were alaeked In
the Western Union office, but they could
net ba handled The United Lines s'to s'te
ceeded In getting off a tew message. The
Pennsylvania railroad company's wires
were In a terribly demoralized condition,
and it was next te Impossible te send mes mes
sages te Philadelphia directly from this
city ; en this account little could be learned
at the tower In tbe station.
Men who have bean emp'.oyel en th9
Pennsylvania railroad for many years say
that they have never known the company
te have as mnea trenble as this snow has
caused. The dllUeulty at Downlngtewn
ejn be traced te the wreck of Sanday
night This caused a blockade and gave
the snow a chinos te Interfere with the
trains. During yesterday the only trains
that were successfully run were these be
tween Lancaster and Columbia. Others
were all la'e and most of them
were annulled entirely. The Pennsylvania
station presented a lively appsaranee all
day Monday and In the night It was lllled
with people who were anxious te get te
their homes. Most of these came from
towns west of Lancaster, as none bad been
able te reaeh here from tbe east, during tbe
day. The large waiting room of the Pennsyl
vania read was open ail night, and many
persons slept en the benebes, thus keeping
out or the oeld. The restaurants and hotels
In the neighborhood did a thriving trade.
Seme of tbe strangers, wbe became tired
waiting for tbe train, put In the time by get
ting very big leida of rum en beard, wbleh
seemed te keep them warm and In geed
humor.
MEN ANI 11EASTS DIiaUSTED,
About tbe most disgusted people en Mon
day, besides the railroaders, were the hack
men,newsdealers and hetel porters. All day
they lingered around the station waiting
In vain for trains from tbe east The horses
in the cabs steed and shivered In tbe pierc
ing wind until a late hour last nlgbt Meat
of tbe haekmen then gave up all hopes and
few carriages could be found after 10
o'clock. Tbe men who deal In Philadelphia
and New Yerk papers waited patiently
nntll last evening, when they gave up ail
hopes.
Up te Monday at neon the Mt. Jey
branch was almost free from snow.- The
high winds of the afternoon had a bad
ellect, however, and tremendous drift
were tbe result The Lancaster Acoemmo
datien, which left this city for Harrlsburg
at 2:50 In tbe afternoon, became last In tbe
drlftatF.erlu.
Chicago L'mlted, east, which passes
around Lancaster about two o'clock, be be be
oamefastatElizibetbtown. The first sec
tion of Day Express ran down te this point,
but was obliged te turn hack. The second
section was sent by Columbia, and It
reached hoie between six and seven
o'clock, drawn by a big freight engine.
After tbe first section ran baek te Harris
burg it was put upon (.he Columbia braneb.
Monster piles of snow were encountered en
this read and the train did no', reach Lan
caster until 10 o'clock, being then about
five hours late. When, this train reaehel
here it presented a curious appearance.
WINDOWLESS CARS.
-In many ofthe can nearly all of the
windows bad been broken by striking
against tbe huge piles of frozen anew. The
line large windows In the Pullman cars
looked as though a man had gene along
and strnck thorn with an axe. Many of
them were broken out be completely that
scarcely a plece remained In tbe frames.
Bed clothing, cushions, &), were piled
against the opening te keep out tbe piercing
winds. Passengers wbe were en this train
aa'd that they were greatly frightened at
the breaking of tbe glatp, and at tlmes they
supposed the train had been teloseoped.
While this train steed In tbe depot the
perters of the Pullman cars swept up and
emptied In the streets whole bucketsful
of glass which eime from the broken win
dow?. Many of the passengers looked very
oeld and, although the majority preferred
te take tbelr ehanccs by going towards
Philadelphia, many stepped off here. This
train remained h ere for aome time and as
It pulled out the conductor cried " This
train makes no steps between Lancaster
and Philadelphia." The trainmen were
mistaken In this, however, for when they
reached Wltmer,foiinnllea east el Lancaster,
It was found that Harrlsburg Accommoda
tion andanether section of Day Express were
fast in tbe snow. Twe big "hog" engines
and a large crew et wreckers came from
Columbia and were put te work. After a
delay of several hours the passenger trains
managed te get te Leaman PJac, where
they yet were tbls morning. At Ranck'a
station the snow was very deep en Mon
day. In the afternoon two large engines
ran through tbe drifts, but In se doing broke
every pane of glass from tbe cabin, and
did ether damage te the engines.
About 7 o'clock last evening word came
that a train for tbe west bad pa9s d Parkoa Parkea
buig and It would be able te reach Lancas
ter. Tbls train was patiently awaited by
tbe crowd here, but It failed te come. Tbls
morning it was learned that It was banked
In the anew at Leaman Place. At different
points en the line of the read large gangs
of men have been at work since Sunday
shoveling snow, and ever body connected
with tbe railroad U busy and anxious te
get rid of the trouble. Sandwiches and
oellee In large quantities were taken from
this city last night te feed tbe cold and
hungry workmen. On the second Day
Express a let of previsions were tent from
this city te feed men at Gap, Prazers and
ether points. The train did net get further
tbsn Leaman Place, end the men likely
went hungry unless ttey wbre provided
for from some elber point
TROUBLE ON TUB 0.17ARRYVILLE IIOAD.
Tbe Qaarryvllle branch of the Helding
read was In as bad condition as tbe Penn
sylvania all day yesterday. Tbe trouble
was all at the cut north et New Providence.
Several engines went down from this city
te help out the train, which was due here
at 7(30 Monday morning. One or these
went through te the main drift, and suc
ceeded in getting tbe blocked train loose.
Beth engines tbea ran through te Qmrry
vllle, for water, and were again caught
In the drift In lelurr, They remained near
164.
New Providence all night An engine whieh
left thla city with one passenger ear at 10
o'clock Monday morning Was only able te
reach Kerten. The remainder et the day
and Monday night, te 0 o'clock, was spent
In getting back te Lancaster. At that hour
the train arrived at King street The ear
was full erpasseegers who had bearded It
along the way etatlens, while many wbe
had gene down with the train In the morn
ing, expecting te reach Qearryvtlle, were
brought back. The tank of thla engine had
about four feet et snow piled upon It, and It
presented a cheerless appearance. Ne
progress was made during the night en.
thla read, and nearly every train was an
nulled. LITTLK MAIL REACHES ItKRK.
The people at the poateffloe have had but
little te de since Sunday, beyond handling
the city mall. There was nothing from the
east during yesterday or last night and the
last mail from tbe west came en Day Kx
press at JO o'clock. Nothing came In ever
the.Quarry vllle railroad, and the only stage
te arrive from the country was that from
Strasburg: all ethers were obliged te turn
back en account of the drifting snow.
Matde Viukars was te have appeared In
the opera house In ' Cherubs " Monday
night, bnt ahe did net arrive. Last week
she appeared In Brooklyn and most of her
bsggage came here en (Sunday. The com
pany was expeeted te arrive here en Fast
Ltne Monday afternoon, but as nothing was
beard from tbern it Is belleved tbst they
were In one et tbe delayed trains between
Lancaster and Philadelphia. A notice was
placed en the deer et the opera house an
nouncing that there would be no perform
ance and people who expected te see tbe
charming little actress were disappointed.
Madame Modjeska was te have appeared
at the epera beuse tonight in "As Yeu
Like It," but It Is doubtful It she will be
able te get here. A telegram received from
Manager Mlshler, of Reading, te-day says
J that tbe actress and her company are snow
bound between Allentown and Heading
and tbey will arrive In tbe latter city te-day.
Lilly Clay's company was In Beading
last night and Is booked for Yerk te-night
It Is hardly likely that they will be able te
make tbe latter place and tbey may come
directly te Lancaster te- night or te-morrow.
KIRST TRAIN FROM T11K KANT.
The first train te reach Lancaster from
the East since early Sunday morning, ar
rived here at half-past 12 o'clock te-day. It
was a combination made np of News and
Niagara Expresf, both of which trains
should have been here yesterday morning.
Thla train was first delayed at Downing
town, and reached Leaman Place at 7
o'clock Monday evening where it remalned
all night. It bad en beard quite a
number of passengers, among whom wa
William Merrln, the well-known tobacco
buyer, of this city. A notable passenger
waa Reland Reed, tbe actor, wbe was en
his way te Wllltamapert, where he was te
have appeared last nlgbt His company
went by way of Eaaten and he had no
knowledge of them. Mr, Reed and a
number et drummers who were en the
train made plenty of fun for the ethers
during the night The party was compelled
te de without supper, en account of the
fcarcity et previsions. This morning they
received a geed breakfastat Leaman Place.
Tbe train left that station at 10 o'clock tbls
forenoon drawn by four passenger engines.
On the way te this city tbey encoun
tered snow drifts or Immense sits,
and In breaking through one or them
at Ranek'a station ene of the engines
was disabled and bad te be left there. When
tbe train reached Lancaster the enginea
were covered with snow and Ice from top
te bottom and presented a North Pele a p.
pearance. The engineers, firemen and
ethers looked fatigued. The train was at
once surrounded by a large crowd et
puople and It created as much excitement
as a circus parade. Tbis train brought the
Philadelphia and New Yerk papers or
Monday morning and (hey were bought np
In a short time. Trie train remained here
for seme time and after tbe engines had all
taken water It left for the west
Between 1 and 2 o'clock this afternoon
Mail train, whieh was due bore at 0.35 yes
terday, steamed Inte tbe station with two
engines.
At Lcnman PIrce tbe railroad company
has 100 men at work shoveling snow, but
they seem te make but little progress, aa
tbe snow blows back almost as fast aa It Is
Bbeveied out
Up te 3 o'clock this afternoon no trains lu
addition te tbose mentiened above had
reached Lancaster trem the bast, Ilarrls
burg Accommodation, West, ct last oven even
lng was at the dap. The first section or
last evening's Day Express arrived in
Philadelphia at 12 o'clock te-day.
It will be some time before all the trains
delayed by this wreck get wes. The read
is by no means In a passable condition. Ne
through trains for Philadelphia from
Columbia or Harrlsburg passed through
here te-day. Orders bave been Issued that
no tralna are te leave Harrlsburg or Pnila
delphla as long as the high wind continue.
The read Is clear between tbls city, Colum
bia and Yerk, and two trains were fctartei
from Lancaster for tbeae places te-day.
Last night the railroad company had but
one wlre In operation between Lancaster
and Philadelphia, but te day they have two.
THE READING ROAD'S CONDITION TO-DAY.
At neon te-day tbe Reading read was In
a worse condition than yesterday. The
train due here at 7:30 Monday morning
from Quarryvllle bad made its way te
Pequea Mutten, where It was fast In the
snow. The train which left Lancaster for
Reading at fcur o'clock Monday afternoon,
is in tbe Bnew at Epbrata, where It was
all night Tbe train which left Reading
for Lancaster at 12 o'clock yesterday, stop step
ped et Reinheld'a station, where it ran Inte
a enew bauk. Tbe engine Jumped tbe
track and was net replaced until thla morn
ing, when the train ran back te Reading.
Ne trait b will start from Reading for tbls
city te-day. Ne tralna came from Lebanon
te-dsy. At 12 o'clock a train drawn by two
englresleft King street for Manhelm and
Lebanon,
At 3 o'clock this afternoon the Quarry
vllle train waa still near Pequei and three
engines were working te get It te tbls city
Tee Lebanon read Is clear,
TUB COUNTT MAILS,
Tbe only stages that arrived te-day were
these from Strasburg, Lampeter and New
Helland. The last earned had net been in
since Saturday. Billy Stansbury, tbe
driver, bad a rough experience. He left
New Helland with bis stage en lime en
Monday morning. After driving two miles
his atsge stuck in a drift and be was unable
te get any farther. His one passenger
Bought shelter at a farm house and he un
barnesied tbe bone and rode back te New
Helland, Knewing that It would be im
possible te get te Lancaster en Monday
he concluded te wait until this morn
ing. He hitched his berses te a sleigh and
left New Helland for Lancaster at an early
hour tbls morning. He arrived In thla city
between 1 and 2 o'clock tbls atternoen, and
brought tbe mail with blm, He reports
tbe read between New Helland and Lan
caster as almost impassable, and In endeav
oring te reach tbis city he did net use the
turnpike for ever half a mile. He traveled
principally ever fields,
ANOTHER SNOW STORM.
About 11 o'clock tbls mernipg another
fait of anew l began and spit viciously
until midday, when It let out a link or two,
tnd from that time until the present (3:30)
the fall baa been Increasing, bidding fair te
rival the aterm of Sunday. Tbe wind la
still high, and tbe snow drifts greatly aa It
falls.
INCIDENTS OV TUB STORM.
TheTherniomtterntarZ.te, nnilaesa Inter
rupted and Few People Outdoor.
The temperature, which rote en Monday
some degrees above the thawleg point, (In
the sun), and enabled many property own
ers and tenants te get tbe snow and Ice off
their pavements, fell rapidly Monday after
noon and evening, and by midnight had
fallen te 12 degrees above aero, and by 6
o'clock this morning was down te 10.
Owing te the high wind that prevailed
many persons thought this morning the
coldest et the season. It was certainly one
of the meat uncomfortable.
Business men atate that very little busi
ness was done Monday and that very little
Is being done' te day. The gale that has
been blowing ever since Sundsy evening,
tegether with tbe Icy pavements and cold
weather, kept everybody Indoors except tbe
unfortunate few wbe were compelled te be
entalde ; and tbe blockade et the country
reads prevented oeuntry custemers from
gettlng Inte the city even If they had felt
like braving tbe wintry blasts.
Tbe Lancaater and Mlllersvllie railroad
remains blockaded, and the few passengers
between the two places are carried through
sleds. A gentleman wbe made thejeurney
from Mlllersvllie te Lancaster Monday
morning describes It aa being aterrlbleene.
A high wind was blowing, canslng the
snow te drift terribly. Tbe fine snow was
blown In clouds through the air se that It
waa Impossible te see mere than a tow
yards In any direction, and the sharp llille
anew II ikes aa they atrnek the face caused
a stinging sensation llke the sting of beep.
The distance travoled was only four roller,
but the gentleman says he would net re
peat the Journey for (25.
The old fellows who are In the habit of
reading the New Yerk and Philadelphia
papers at tbe breakfast table are sadly put
ent at the blockade wbleh cuts off tbelr
morning Indulgence. By scores It net by
hundreds they besiege tbe newspaper
agencies, and insist that tbe tralna must be
through by tbls time, and when assured
that they are net, the peer agents are sub
jected te all aorta of questions aa the te time
when the missing trains will arrive 1
The markets were greatly affected by the
storm te-dsy. Oa account of the bitter cold
weather and drifted reads few farmers
came te town, and as high as 40 and 00
cents W8S asked for butter.
Several of the hotels of the city were
filled with atrangera last night Seme
wero unable te get te their homea and
ethera get ell Day Express, preferring te
wait In tbls city ratner than take chances et
lying along the read, Seme of these peo
ple are from tbe far West. Among these
wbe laid ever at tbe City hotel is Themas
Cellins, tbe prominent contractor, who was
en his way east from Ebensburg.
One of the most popular places at the
Pennsylvania railroad station is the tele
graph tower, which is fnll et railroad men
andotbers. Johnny Bartley, the obliging
operator, is kept very busy, but sighs for
mere wires, as many are yet down.
A SAD EYED HOTEL MAN.
Landlord Martin, of the Leepard hotel,
reports yeaterday as being tbe dullest
Monday since he has kept that hotel. In
all-there were only three teams In his yards
during the entire day.
Candidate Jehn li. Land la bad quite an
experience. He left his home eatly en
Monday te drive te tbls city, te be en band
te see the country people who generally get
te town en that day. When he arrived
nearMllleraville be could net drive through
the drifts, se he put his horse at a farm
house and walked from there te this city.
It was generally remarked that a candidate
who would undertake a tafk of that kind
in such weather was making a geed can
vass, Monday was the day en whieh bids were
te have been received by the county com
missioners for the collection of tax for Sal
isbury township. As no malls were re
ceived and nobody could get te town from
that section no bids were received. The
commissioners will probably open bids en
next Monday.
Jury Commis9lenor Dliter, of New Hol Hel
land, oeuld net be present at the drawing of
Jurers en Monday, net being able te get
here en account el the storm.
Tbe city lights were effected by laat
nlgb t'a storm. Tnose net burning were 35
electric, 8 gas and 30 gasoline, a total of 73
lights.
UNPRECEDENTED BLOWING,
Said a prominent railroader te an In In
teli.iebncer reporter ; I never aaw
anything te equal this. The winter that 1
spent en the Seuth Penn railroad was In
my Judgment the bitterest I ever experi
enced. The thermometer was In the neigh
borhood of zero all the time, but we did net
have the tierce cutting wlnda wblcb we are
new suffering, nor did they continue te
blew with tbe relentless severity tbat 1
new fell," and tLen be swung bis arms
back and forth across bis breast in the effort
te keep out the chilling cold.
An experienced telegrapher In speaking
of tbe telegraphic detention said: "It Is
Impossible for tbe linemen te de any effec
tive work while thla rigorous cold lasts.
As fast as prostrate poles are re-erected
they fall again. Men cannot stand tbe cold
long enough for continuous work, and te
labor In overcoats and gloves Is a Sisyphean
kind efa job. Put it down as certain that
there will be no real telegraphic service
while Uie bltter cold continues."
Ibere Is seme humor In the situation. A
belated party were in tbe Slevens house
lobby laatevenlng all dUcussing the storm,
when u voles was beard ringing out "New
Yerk and Pbllatplphla papers." At once
twenty bands went into twenty pockets te
get tbe ntceasary change te purchase tbe
long-looked ler journals. But the hope
was without foundation, for It was seen
found tbat they were victims of a hoax, the
voice proceeding from a waggiah member
of the parly.
A milkman en North IlJke street at
tempted te blew his horn at an early hour
thla morning, but the sound was swallowed
up in tbe horn, while a weary lcek came
In the milk-vender's face.

lNTKi.LUir.NrER, through tbe superhuman
exertions et Mr. S. P. Ayera, the local man
ager of the United Pres, get a hair dozen
telegraphla Items Inte the issue of Monday,
such as tbe arrival of Sullivan and Mitchell
en English soil, tbe death of Henry Bergb,
the fatal tatlroadaccIdentnearUuntlngden,
IV, etc., but apart from these telegrams,
Lancaster might as well have been In the
moon se far as its knowledge or what wes
going en in the great world beyond us was
concerned. The Emperor Frederick might
bave died en bis arrival in Berlin and Lan
castrian would have been none tbe Winer.
President Cleveland might bave bad a fatal
stroke of apoplexy and the people of this
city would bave been totally unconscious
thereof. Ferthlrty-slx hours the city bis

except what leaked In from tbe west by the
few belated trains tbat carried mallr.
"Things are net ae bad as they might be,"

the hotel steve marked the conclusion et
thla atery.
About the middle of January, 1857, there
waa a great snow storm that blockaded the
Pennsylvania railroad for an entire week.
Ellas Barr was the agent at that time for
tbe New Yerk and Philadelphia papers.
He saya that he served the entire week's
edition at one delivery. He remembera
that there were a party of gentlemen en
route for New Yeik who were storm-staid
In this city at the time. Among them were
aome newspaper men, who amused them
selves by getting outallttle newspaper in
whieh was printed some account of their
experiences during the storm. The paper
was printed at the oltleo of the old JCxpress
en West King street. ,
Mayer Morten ohatted In very interesting
fashion about the great storm of 1857 te an
Intkllicikngkii representative thla morn
ing. He said tbkt the trains were all at a
standstill ter air days, and the trainmen
get up a newspaper dealing with the storm
features of the blockade. At tbat time
Mayer Morten was the letter-carrier for the
whole city. It was Just before Baehanan's
Inauguration. The mayor recalls hew, when
the blockade had been lifted, he dellvored
three bushel baskets of mail that had been
sterm-tUld te tbe president-elect. "Just
such a day as this," aald tbe mayor, as he
buttoned his great oeataround him, "the
president went te take his seat as ohlet ex

New Yerk, March 13. Net a train left
the Grand Central depet yesterday and but
one came In. The waiting rooms are
orewdod with travelers who are anxious in
depart and persens- who are waiting te hear
from friends en route te this city. Te
neither could rfllelals give tbe slightest
satisfaction. Tbe only train tbat get
through en the New Haven read waa tbe
one wbleh started bofero the storm be
gan. The Night Express from Bosten, due
hereu:20a. m., rolled into the depot five
hours late. The train struck the aterm
whieh was prevailing in New Ycrk a few
minutes after leaving New Haven, and
from there the progress was alew. The
wind decreased the heat In the cars, and the
passengers began te den their wrat.
These In the sleepers piled their overcoats
upon tke blankets and BW.ore at the porter.
Sleep was Impossible aud the trip was a
mlsorable one. This was the only train te

tbe same story was told. Ne tralna were

the storm abates. "All trains are aban aban aban

H'nru I'e Career.
That the let or a telegraph operator is net
always a hsppy ene ia frequently Illustrated
by such atmespberla wars as that whieh
has cut off Lancaster from the outside
world. It has been said by emlnent oloo eloo oleo
trlcal authority that operatora who once
pass through the effects or an able-bodied
storm without exhibiting decided signs or
insanity are truly phenemenal, The out eut out
Blde pubiie can scarcely reallrs the amount
of werrlment and actual hard work
there Is lu ene small telegraph
wire In stormy woather. Te pass
ever the technical questions, wbleh
would hardly be understood by ethers than
electrical men, it might be intereatlng te
atate a few facts of hew business Is dene In
times of tribulation. When a storm such
bs has visited thla and ether seotlens of the
country strikes the wires, accompanied by
enew and aleet, the result is that down
gees everything. Tbe sleet freezes en the
wires hard and bears tbem down, and there
being Hueh a strong tension they are snap
ped off completely. It frequently happens,
when a strong wind Is blowing, that the
poles go with thorn, Bueh being the force et
wind, combined with tbe wires new made
doubly heavy by tbe addition of loe. Line
rppalrinen are at ence notified and sent out
te repalr tbe wires, and tbey must go no
matter hew It storms. Meanwhile tbe
chief operatora are figuring hew te
gat oil tbe acaiimulated buslness,
which amounts In a short time te
onormeus proportions. Extra help Is to te
talnid, and buslness Is aeut te dIUerent
points, In order te get around the trouble.
ThUB messages originating In Chicago may
be sunt te Cincinnati, tbenee te Kansas Cily
aud ether points In order te reach Omaha
or St Paul, which Is a route covering a dK dK
tance twlce as far as the messages would
cover Inn direct line. All et this makea
extra labor for the operators and tbey
alt and tell day and night until they
have cleared awBy the business or tbe
trouble has been repaired. Occasionally a
point Is completely isolated, and in order
te overcome this messages are a;nt te tbe
nearest point te the break, and thoneo
transferred te trains entering the ostra estra
cised city en an oxpress car, In place efa
telegraph wire.
And, It may be added, tbe wires that are
standing, work ae badly that the operators
are compelled te guess and worry along
until they, te use a pecullar phrase of the
craf t, " are turning gray." All this means
a heavy iinanelal less te the telegraph com
pany, and people who rocelve metssges
this way cannot fully grasp the Idea
why thelr telegrams should thus be sub
jected te aueh dela-js, and read the rict
act te the corporation. It la amusing
te the operatora te wrlte telegrams
stating that the sender will be In such a
city at 4 o'clock te day, when the time tbe
message Is rocelved at the point where It is
te be put en a train Is probably 0 o'clock
at night, Bnd tbe telegram will probably
reach the person te whom addressed a day
or se alter tbe sender bes arrived at -his
destination. But such is tbe Irony of tele tele
grspble llfe en days when 'Old I'robi I'rebi
bllltles" lees fit te create a disturbance.
