TROUBLE IF RAIN
TURNS TO A SLEET
Coettnmii From Firet Page.
oonditiona, for extremely low barome
ter conditions remain along the Jersey
coast, the lowest this morning being at
Atlantic City, where much damage has
been done in the last twenty-four hours
because of the lii;xh winds.
Officials of transportation companies
and telegraph companies here were
concerned about possible changes in
the weather conditions that may come
to-night, fearing that a heavy sleet
storm would cripple all lines. While
no actual trouble occurred hero last
night and to-day as a result of the
storm, the city was practically isolat
ed because of wire trouble on the
principal trunk routes leading out of
this city.
Both the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies had trouble on the
lines East and South and in the vicin
ity of Philadelphia. Whole sections of
linos, poles and wires were knocked
down bv the sleet and heavy wiuds.
The New York division of the Penn
sylvania Railroad was crippled to some
extent and wire trouble was experi
enced between Paoli and Philadelphia
on the Philadelphia divisiou of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. The Downing
town and Lancaster branch was crip
pled because of wire trouble. Through
trains, however, were running into this
city on time this morning.
Harrisburg was the last city of size
and importance enough to have a local
office of the Weather Bureau in the
eastern part, of the country to suffer at
all from the storm. Twelve hours after
heavy rains and destructive winds were
reported from Atlantic City and sleet
in Pittsburgh, this city almost mid
way between those two points, began to
feel the storm.
Precipitation Began Saturday
Sleet and rain began here Saturday
night and the rain continued almost
without cessation all through yester
day, last night and to-day. The pre
cipitation was not heavy, however, un
til this morning. At noon to-day the
total precipitation for the storm in
Harrisburg had been 1.44 inches, three
fourths of which fell between 8 o'clock
this morning and noon to-day.
The rainfall until 8 o'clock this
morning was heavier in Harrisburg
than in any of the Susquehanna river
stations above this city and there is
therefore no indication of an alarming
rise in that stream.
.lust how long the storm will effect
Harrisburg is a matter of conjecture.
Saturday's weather map shows no high
pressure urea which could change the
weather conditions materially for a day
or two and prospects are that incle
ment weather will last for several days.
A high pressure of unusual streugth,
to the north, kept the southern storm
in ]>la -e for several days until it filled
up with unusual strength.
The storm now apparently is stead
ily increasing in its intensity ami mov
ing slowly northward. Storm warnings
were aflutter from Hatteras, N. C., to
Eastport, Maine, advising mariners to
seek safe harbors. No storm signal
was hoisted here, however, and should
the rain not turn to- sleet there will
be no local trouble according to weath
er officials. That the storm Center is
not moving westward is indicated be
cause no special weather observation
was ordered for Harrisburg at noon to
day. as is tile case when a storm center
of any proportion is approaching the
city.
News Service Crippled
After some incomplete news reports
this morning, some of which included
dispatches from t'iie European war /xme,
the Associated Press at 1.15 o'clock re
ported that ail its wires with Harris
burg were down and that there was no
indication how soon communication
with the outside world could be re
established. It was indicated that the
storm was not abating and that it would
continue its destructive passage north
along the coast.
Most of the damage was caused by
sleet and rain in below-freezing tem
peratures. Ice formed on the wires,
which could not support the weight in
the- accompanying high winds. When
the storm broke in Harrisburg there
was sleet mixed with the rain, but
the temperature remained constant and
soon there was nothing but rain which
froze in some instawces during early
Sunday morning. There were no -high
wind here, however.
The temperature remained just above
I the freezing j>oint all day yesterday and
| last night, the mean temperature for
Sunday being three degrees above the
normal temperature. The lowest was
3."> degrees and t'he highest xvas 41. The
j fact that there was so little variation in
the temperature yesterday leads the
Weather Bureau oiiiciafs in" this city to
believe that there wiil be little change
to-night, the relative position of the
depression being so li'fcle altered.

36 at Norfolk and 36 at Cape Hat
teras. When the storm became central
off the Virginia Capes to-day, (however,
the wind velocity in that vicinity in
creased.
