THE COUNTRY SHIVERED. A Cold Snap Which Broke All Previous Records, The Entire South Seriously Af fected by the Severe Weather, For a good many yearsto come all cold snaps will be compared with the one of 1808, It has broken all previous records, While it lasted one could hardly place his finger the map of the United States or Canada and finl a plate whers water would not freez) if it was left out of doors, The tamburature reached the freezing point clear to the middle of Florida. And that is mighty cold weather for Florida. The mercury registered fifty-six degrees in Kay West, That is an unheard of tem- perature there, and is bound to play the mis. chief with oranges, At other places along the Gulf of Mexico they were worse off, At Mobile and Pensacola {t was sight degrees below the freezing point on the same day, and it was only six degrees warmer at New Orleans, The centra of tha onld wave was over Eastern Tennessee. At Knoxville it reached ten degrees below zero, That simply smashes all previous records into little bits, Northern Georgia and Alabama had minus weather, too. At Atlanta, Ga, it was eight degreas above zero, which means that business was practically suspendad, Nore folk (Va.) thermometers showed four de- grees below zero, It would seem on that the Northwest had rted with all its cold weather, But it wadn't At St, Vincent, which is usually one of the coldest places in the Uaited States, it was thirty-two degrees below zero, At Du- luth it was ten degress below. Chicag> has been catching it too. It was eight de- grees below zero there, and there are probably few places on earth as cold as Chicago is when the mercury is below zero, So it will be seen that the whole country anited with New York inone grand shiver. There was no place one can go to escape the cold, Not since 1835 have the bays and harbors sn Long Island Sound been so completely frozen over. The waters of Oyster Bay wera practically sealel up, and there was a field of ice as far as thy eyes could reach, For the first time in the history of the bay, what is knowa as ths “‘Jut” a narrow neck wheres the water coursed through like a mill race, was frozon solid The Hudson River was frozen over from Tarrytown, N. Y., to Nyack, a tance of 33{ miles, \umarous boys made tue trip s across both walking . All mails wer: in arriving at New rk City, for, though it was cold in New York, it was colder and the Irs were more severs outside the city, From north, east and west came reports of solid dis men and the river, south, f railroad blockades. The Chicago mail was four hours late. The mail from the west via the Penn. svivania Railroad was five hourilate. The mails from the south were in au almost equally delayed state, being later than they had been before in years The effect of the severe weather was felt in every channel of communication at Phila- delphia, River navigation was almost at a standstill, No boats were moving la the Deleware except the ferryboats, iceboats and tuzs. Vessels ready to put to sea wers ice-bound, and in some cases the crews have been discharged Never in the history of the Cantral South had there been so much suffering from col weather as during this “snap.” All rivers have been blocked with ice and snow, ren. dering passage over them impossible, Many trains were late, and some were abandoned by their suffering crews, The most intense suffering was prev- alent among mountain people, The snow was from tea inches to threes feet deep in Eastern Tennessee, Westarn North Carolina and Eastern Kentucky, and all kinds of latvor were suspende 1, Not tor thirty years had there been such gavere weather as prevailed in Tennessee, The united efforts of the Knoxville officials and church members were utilized to aid the poor, The Camberiand River was frozmn from bank to bank. More than a doz persons were frozm to death, After three winters that scarcely deserve the name, the Northwest is now experiencing ons of the old-fashioned kind. January has beaten the record for intense and sustained «old weather, For four years the new year has found the ground ciear of snow and every lake and stream open. The cold has, bowever, been entirely without the blizzard feature, although it has in many cases been forty degrees below zero Dispatches from all parts of Wisconsin re- port the coldest weather for years. In Mil wankee it was fourteen degrees below, At Sparta the mercury froze solid at forty be- Jow: at Whitehall it was forty-five below Lacrosse, thirtysix; Medford, forty-two; Neenah, twenty-eight; Watertown, thirty; Kaukaun, thirty-five. The Winnebago In- dians on the reservation near Black River Falis are suffering terribly. Senator Brice’s representatives at Lima, Ohio, received a telegram telling them to jistribute to the destitute ani suffering poor 100 tons of coal and 190 barrels of four, In Florida, where, even at this season, the luzurious warmth of the tropics and the fragrance of orange groves are usually en- joyed, it was below the freezing point, ex- cept in the most southern part of the State. The only other spots where anything like warmth may be found ard in Southwestern | Texas, Koy West and the extreme southern | coast of the Pacific Ocean ——— ABNORMAL COLD IN EUROPE Wood Fires Kept Burning in the Streets of St, Petersburg.
