[ EMPEROR WILLIAM.

The Sick Crown Prince Proclaimed

EMPEROR WILLIAM I.
.Emperor \\ imam, 01 uermany, passea
away in Berlin at 8:30 A. M. on Friday.
The end had been momentarily expected
since Thursday morning, and around the
bedside of the venerable monarch were assembled
all the members of his family, except
the Crown Prince and Princess.
' Without was a multitude standing in the
avenues leading through the grounds to J
44Unter den Linden"?a mighty crowd, but
silent, expectant, fearful for the worst; all
eager to hear the first news of the climax in j
the great crisis which should decide between j
life or death for their beloved Kaiser; all 1
breathless in the dread that the first news
might be the news that they least wished to |
hear. Never in this century has a multitude |
so great and spellbound with emotions so !
profound stood in the thoroughfares of the !
German capital. A platoon of cavalry was ,
on guard about the palace, but their j
oclr woo tin inch nf thft ATIT- !
ious watchers called for check or bin- j
drance, no disorderly or unseemly j
outburst had to be repressed. Many of I
the vast throng had been there since midnight?some
since the pjevious day?and
nearly all since long before dawn of 'Thurs- |
day. A thin, cutting drizzle fell for hours j
early in the day; the wind was sharp and
bitter, yet the great crowd stood their vigil j
through; most of them bareheaded, seme i
shivering with the ague of long exposure? j
all speaking, when they spoke at all, in tones i
subaued, and with their faces drawn behind j
their hands. This was the scene without.
Within?no chronicler was there to drawl
the picture of a monarch's deathbed. At the j
bedside, however, were Prince William and |
the Princess, his wife; the Crown Prince of
Sweden; Dr. Koegel, the Court Chaplain: the
Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden,
and all the other members of the royal family
now in Berlin.
. At noon all the members of the imperial I
family, except the Crown Prince and the
Crown Princess, who were at San Remo,
Italy, had been called into a room adjoining
that occupied by the Emperor. At 32:25
o'clock Chaplain Koegel administered the last
sacrament, though for some time the Emperor
had been delirious by fits and starts.
Prince Bismarck had been "at the Emperor's
bedside nearly all the mornina, but at 2:30
o'clock he withdrew, and visited the Reichstag,
announcing that the session of the
Reichstag would close on Friday.
I By 5:30 o'clock it was generally believed
that the Emperor could not survive the
night, and at C:4o a false report of his
death was sent broadcast.
The physicians in attendance had declared
in a bulletin that a tendency to somnolence,
evinced by Emperor William during
the preceding hour or two, was not the re:sult
of the injections of morphia which
had been administered. From this on
I till the end came the waiting multitude hoped,
but knew tbat tnev were nop:ng against me
inevitable. And when the news came tbat
all was over they went away, some weeping
aloud, some silently; all heavy with sorrow
for their ruler they had loved.
I Sketch of the Emperor's Career.
1 Frederick William Ludwig, second son of
Frederick William III., King of Prussia, and
the celebrated Queen Louise, was born on i
March 23, 1797.
As a child Williajn was very weak and delicate.
His brother, the Crown Prince and
heir to the throne, was much the stronger ol
the two, and no one dreamed of the circumstances
which eventually placed the younger
brother first upon the royal and then upon
the imperial throne.
Prince William and his two brothers received
military instruction together when
they were very young from an old sergeant i

pretty thoroughly when he was eight years
old.
I **
FREDERICK WILLIAM, THE CROWN* PRINCE.
But his military instruction was not allowed
to interfere with his other studies. He
read history eagerly, especially Frederick the
Great's account of the Seven Years' War.
On the 3d of October, 1807, he was made Seccod
Lieutenant of the Foot Guar da After
this he attended drilll regularly, and took
part in parades. In 1&03 his regiment was
ordered to Konigsberg, and he accompanied
it to its new quarters.
In 1813, when the Napoleonic war broke !
out. he was made Captain, and went with his
regiment to the Held. Un tue 1st 01 January
he crossed the Rhine, near the mouth of the
JJeckar, and while crossing witnessed the defeat
of the'French on the opposite shore. lie
was present at the battle of La Rothiere, the
first defeat of Napoleon by German troops 011
JYench ground. At Bar-sur-Aube he acted
as Adjutant, and was frequently in the thick
of the fray. After this battle ho was decorated
with"the Iron Cross for bravery, and re- i
ceived, as a further acknowledgement of his j
rourage, the proprietorship or the uegunent j
Kaluga from the Emperor of Russia. He
followed the army in 1S15, and alter the battle
of Waterloo went to Paris.
He was married on June 15, 1829, to Augusta,
the daughter of Charles Frederick,
Grand Dake of Saxe-Wei mar-Eisenach. The
day of the wedding William and Augusta
distributed 4,000 thalers among the poor of
Berlin. His son, Frederick William Nicolas,
the Crown Prince, was born on October
16,1831.
Between then and 1840 his life passed as
usual amid military pursuits and other studies.
The army he regarded as the backbone
of the nation, and he did all in his power to
strengthen it and make it efficient
On June 12, 1849, an attempt was made on
Prince William's life. He was driving from
Nieder to Ingelheim, and on passing a field
of train two shots were fired from the field
in rapid succession. One of the horses and
the coachman were injured, but the Prince
escaped unharmed. Several arrests were
made, but the person who fires the shots could
not be identified. While military Governor
he was frequently summoned to Berlin to
consult on important matters of state.
> On Jan. 1857. he had been in the army fifty 1
ft
fftars, and tbe event was celebrated at Berlin
by an appropriate military display. In Oo-.
tober of that year, his elder brother, King
Frederick William IV. was incapacitated by
illness from carrying on the Government,1
and Prince William was appointed tain-;
porary Regent When on the wtn of October,;
1N5S, it became apparent that his brother's'
xrind was irreparably impaired, he was
made Regent of Pnissia, with the title
Prince Regent. In the mean time his son
Frederick William Nicholas Charles was
married to Victoria Adelaide, Princess Royal
of Great Britain. In 1856 his daughter
Xouisa was wedded to the Grand Duke Fredtrick
of Baden.
On Jaminry 2, 1861, Frederick William
IV. died, and William ascended the throne
of Prussia as King William I He at once
inaugurated a firm and determined policy
which aimed at consolidating Germany under
Prussian leadership.
On July 5. 1861, a second attempt was
made on the King's life. He was walking
with Count Fleming from Carlsrule toward
Lichtenthal, when they met a well dressed
young man who bowed politelv. After he
passed a shot was fired, and a bullet grazed
the King's neck. Turning, he and his companion
saw the young man who had just
Ijassed facing them. In the grass near by
ay a pistol. He made no resistance when he
was seized by people who had seen him fire.
The King continued his walk unperturbed.
The efficiency to which King William had
brought the Prussian Army was first seen in
186+, in the war against the Danes, whose
King had proclaimed Schleswig a part of
Denmark. Notwithstanding Austria's jealousy
of Prussia's growing power, King William's
diplomatists prevailed upon Austria to
unite with Prussia in this war, which resulted
in the total defeat of the Danes. The Prussian
soldiers and their leaders behaved with
?*A*vka?Ornk1<% K??oT-cir>TT nnrl nfter fchlS War
Prussia assumed ajxfcition among the first
military powers of Europe.
, Difficulties now arose between Austria and
Prussia concerning the occupation of Schleswig-Holstein.
On August 14,1865, the treaty
of Gastein gave Austria sole occupation of
Holstein, Prussia the occupation of Schleswig,
and annexed the Duchy of Lunenburg
to Prussia. Soon a new difficulty
arose. On January 23, 1S(J6, the Austrian
Governor of Holstein allowed an antiPrussian
me?ting te be held in Altoona.
This led to an acrimonious diplomatic correspondence,
and finally Austria submitted the
Schleswig-Holstein question to the Federal
Diet. Prussia regarded this as a breach of
the Gastein convention, anl marched her j
troops into Holstein. On June 14 the Diet j
called upon all the States of the confedera- i
tion to arm against Prussia. This was the j
beginning of the Seven Weeks' war, so called, '
Knx.ntic.A in eapfin wanl-e OnmTllptfllv I
postrated Austria and her allies.
m tne JNorth-Uerman Confederation,
formed after this war, Prussia had full control
of foreign affairs. All troops were
placed under King "William, and it was j
voted that every able-bodied man 'should be j
obliged to serve in the army.
In 1870 Kin.; William fulfilled his mother's
command, given to him and his brother after
the defeat' of the Prussian army by France
during the Napoleonic wars: "Remember
this defeat when you are men, to throw off
the shame of it and to reconquer the glory
France has snatched from us." When Prince
Leopold of Hohenzollern refused the Spanish
crown Napoleon IIL demanded a guarantee
from Prussia that no prince of this house
should ever bo a candidate for the crown of
Spain. The King refused to give such a
guarantee, and Napoleon made this refusal
a pretext for declaring war. He relied upon
the support of Austria and the'South German
States, which had fought against
Prussia in 1806; but Bismarck, in whom King
William placed implicit faith, had formed
alliances with them, and as a result Napoleon
found all Germany united against mm. ine
King himself took command of the German
troops.

PRINCE WILLIAM, CROWN PRINCE SECOND,
HIS WIFE AND SON.
During the siege of Paris the King of Bavaria
requested King William to restore the
German empire. The other German States
united in the request, and on January 18,
1871, William I. was proclaimed Emperor of
Germany at Versailles, Bismarck reading the
proclamation. Definite peace was concluded
with France at Frankfort on May 10, 1871,
and provided for an immense indemnity and
the annexation to Germany of Alsace and
Lorraine.
Two attempts on the Emperor's life were
made in 1878, but although wounded once he
escaped serious injury.
By Empress Augusta, who survives him,
Emperor William had two children, the
Crown Prince Frederick William, born October
18,1831, and the Princess Louise, who in
1856 married the reigning Grand Duke Frederick
of Baden.
March 23 last the Emperor was ninety
years o'.d, and the civilized world united in |
doing him honor, and the series of public sp- j
pearances which the Emperor made at that |
Hmo n-orft olmncf: hie TTntll t.llA OrftWn i
Prince's illness took on a probably fatal ,
phase "Unser Fritz,1' as he has long been
lovingly known, was universally looked upon
as the next King of Prussia and Emperor of
Germany. But since the development of the j
cancerous disease hot-headed, warlike Prince
VVilhelm, the pet of Bismarck, has been
recognized as the next successor to the
throne. Anxiety for the nation and grief at
the sufferings of his eldest son embittered
the last days of Europe's most distinguished
sovereign.
The Crown Prince Made Emperor.
Crown Prince Frederick was a few hour*
after the Emperor's death proclaimed by the
German Reichstag Frederick III. Emperor of
Germany anri King of Prussia. The new
Emperor and Empress immediately left San
Remo for Berlin.
The new Emperor forwarde.l from San
Remo the following ordinance to the Ministers
of State at Berlin on the subject of pub
lie mourning:
! "With regard to the national mourning
which has heretofore been customary,
we will not order any provision, but
will rather leave it to every German
to determine how he will giva
expression to his affliction at the death of such
a monarch and how long he will deem it appropriate
to restrict participation in public
entertainments."
?.ye witnesses or tne scenes at the death of
the Emperor state that during the last few
hours of his life he suffered no p<un. Shortly
after 8 o'clock all the members of the family
stayinz at the pa'ace, the court dignitaries,
generals, and ministers of state, were summoned
to the chamber in which the Emperor
lay dying. The Emperor was in a half sitting
position on a camp bedstead. All the members
of the Royal family too'< places at the
bedside The room was crowded. Prince
William stood nearest the Emi>eror, half
bending over the couch. He earnestly
watched the face of the dying monarch until
he expired.
The Emperor's remains lay covered with a
white cloth on the bedstead on which he died
in the Imperial Chamber. The body was
surrundod with candles. The emression of
the face was extremely peacful and placid.
Divine service was held in the mortuary
chamber Friday night.
At the opening or the Lower House of the
Prussian Diet on Fridav Herr Von Puttkamer,
Vice-President of the Prussian Ministerial
Council, arose and said: "I have the j
sad duty to make a most painful communication
to the House. It has pleased God to call
his Majesty, the Emperor, in the twentyeighth
year of his glorious reign, from his
earthly existence by a peaceful death at 8:30
o'clock this morning. You will not expect at
this most solemn moment, when sorrow and
care so deeply stir our hearts, to attempt
to depict the feelings with which tne
whole nation is filled through the loss of our
most beloved, exalted, and venerable ruler.
I may, however, safely and confidently say
on this day of sore trial that the Prussian
people and their representatives will now,
more than ever, be penetrated by the consciousness
that the sorrows of otir exalted
Bovereicn's house ^re theirs, and. that tt*
deeper trie universal pain at toe decease or
our ever-remembered King, the stronger and
more indissoluble will be the link uniting
Prussia's Sovereign House and Prussia's people
in good and evil days. I leave it to yourselves
to take such resolutions as are suitable
to the gravity of the situation."
Herr Von Roller, the President of the
House, closed the sitting with the words:
"God protect the Royal House and the
Fatherland."
Messages of condolence to the remaining
members of the Emperor's family were sent
to Berlin from all the European Governments,
and from the President of the United
State*
Emperor Frederick on German Soil.
The Imperial train from San Remo, containing
Emperor Frederick IIL and suite, on
its arrival at Charlottenburg, a suburb of
Berlin, wis three-quarters of an hour late,
having been delayed by a snow-storm. It
arrived at that place at a quarter past 11 r.
M. Sunday. The Crown Prince William and
hi? wife and Prince Henry of SaxeMeiningen
entered the drawing car,
and each kissed the hand of the Emgeror
and embraced Empress Victoria. The
emperor ana impress unrneuiuveiy uuguiuu
from the train and proceeded through a
pavilion, which was profusely decorated with
flowers, to their carriage. 1 hey were driven
direct to the castle, and were followed by detachments
from the Guards. Despite a snow
storm which prevailed, the entire route was
crowded. The Emperor was heartily cheered,
and much enthusiasm was manifested.
Thousands of persons stood in front of the
castle at Charlottenburg, which was illuminated.
There wsi also a Inrro crowd otitairie
the railway station, which was guarded
by a detachment of the Guards. The Imperial
train, on its arrival at Leipsic at 6:38,
was met by Prince Bismarck. Count Herbert

Prince Bismarck entered the saloon to
greet the Emperor and Empress. Emperor
Frederick stepped quickly toward the door
and repeatedly embraced Prince Bismarck.
It was noticed that the Emperor stood quite
erect, with the Empress by his side. The
Empress also greeted the Chancellor most
warmly.
Emperor Frederick now appeared at the
window of his carriage and bowed to the assembled
people on the platform, who received
him with the greatest enthusiasm. The body
of Emperor William had been transferred to
the Cathedral. The Cathedral bells
began to toll at midnight, when
Emperor Frederick arrived to visit
the body. The removal was delayed on
account of the Emeror's arrival until a quarter
to I o'clock. The funeral procession was
headed by a squadron of cuirassiers. These
were followed by a detachment of the footguards
and a numerous train of servants of
the Imperial household. Then came the coffin.
It was covered with a black pall and
was carried on the shoulders of eighteen
soldiers of the bodyguard through the vestibule
of the palace, where it was handed to
a number of non-commissioned officers.
The Crown Prince and the other Princes followed
on foot. Tne cortege closed with a detachment
of cavalry. The streets were lined
with double rows of soldiers,every tenth man

The late Emperor's will has been opened.
It directs that his body shall be interred
dressed in field uniform, with a gray military
cloak over the shoulders and a field cap on
the head. Upon the body are to be placed
the decorations of the orders of the Black
Eagle and Iron Cross, second class; the cross
of the Russian Order of St George, the war
medals of 1814, 1804, 1800 and 1870 and the
Hohenzollern medal of 1849, the Russian
medal and the medal of the Grand Duchy of
Baden.
The whole Russian army, by special order
of the Czar, will wear mourning for four
weeks, and ,the regiments of which the deceased
Emperor Iwas honorary Colonel for
five weeks. On the day of the funeral the
whole army wore full mourning, and the
use of bugles was prohibited.
Viewing tlio Emperor's Body.
After the announcement of Emperor William's
death the aspect of Berlin became indicative
of th3 national mourning. Officers
and soldiers all wore crape on their uniforms.
The dense crowd assembled in Unterden Linden
watched the court carriages conveying
persons of high rank to and from the palace.
Windows and balconies throughout the city
were draped, and most of the shop? were
closed. Mourning wreaths were displayed
everywhere. The German Court has gone
into mourning for throe months.
The coflin containing the remains of Emperor
William as they lay in the Cathedral
was covered with purple velvet, with gold ornaments.
On each side of the catafalque
were three large candelabras, with lighted
wax tapers. Tabourets covered with white
silk worked in gold were placed alongside ths
coffin. The body was clad in the uniform o f the i
First Regiment of the Guards, under a gray i
cloak. The only decorations on the breast i
were the Star of the Black Eagle and the Or- i
der Pour le Merite. The Grand Cross of the |
Iron Cross was suspended from the neck. A |
laurel wreath was placed at the feet. An un- j
broken column of people dressed in mourning i
passed through the edifice for a last look at
the dead monarch's features. I

HIS LAST HOUKS, . I
i
Another Account of the German
Emperor's Death.
The strong constitution of the Emperor .
caused the strnggle at the end to be a hard ]
one, a'though for the last fifteen hours he '
suffered no pain. On Thursday afternoon j
about five o'clock, lii3 Majesty's pulse ceased beating
for some time. Those around the i
DCa mougin mat us inurntiit >vu>
ing for them to kneel down and pray for the
departing soul. Suddenly the pulse began to
beat again, and the Emperor opened his eyes.
Prince William bent over him, and asked if
he wished to take anything. Upon his answering
in the affirmative, he handed him a
plate of soap. When he asked him if he
liked it he said: "I cannot exactly say I do."
They then gave him a glass of champagne,
which he eagerly drank, and his pulse beat
stronger again. Prince William inquired if
he knew that he had taken bold of the hand
of the Empress, to which he replied: "Yes."
Chaplain Koegel then repeated a verse in
order to find out whether the Emperor was
quite conscious. His Majesty repeated the ^
words and remarked that they were very i
beautiful. '
A remarkable thing during his last hours is 1
that after the long silence which was so omi- *
nous, the Emperor's first remark was about I
military matters. Later on he conversed
with Prince Bismarck and gave orders ror ins "<
funeral procession to proceed from the Royal 1
Chapel. Prince Bismarck answered: "\Ve t
have not got so far as that, your Majesty, ?
and it will be some time before we do, and t
besides, these things have been thoroughly t
settled by your Majesty." The doctors were I
much astonished to notice this change for the I
better, but said that the temporary improve- I
ment was by no means proof of the crisis e
being past. Prince Bismarck and Count von ?
Moltke were more hopeful. s
Toward 6 o'clock Friday morning the Em- 1
peror became unconscious, and after that t
time was not able to recognize anybody. The I
Empress had been led away from her hus- c
band's bedside before this, and the Grand ?
Duchess of Baden was so overcome that she, s
too, had to leave the deathbed. Suppressed ?
sobs were heard throughout the room. Prince i
William stood during the whole time at the t
bedside, and never once took his eyes off his *
grandfather. All at once the Emperor moved d
his arms, as if trying to raise himself; hi8 t
chest heaved: with a deep sigh he fell back on F
his pillow, and all was over. i
Tnose present then kissed the hand of the s
de~< ased, and the court chaplain blessed him.
The room in which Emperor William died *
is very narrow, and contains only the most 6
necessary furniture, including the iron camp d
bedstead on which he died, a washstand, and B
a small table. The whole is marked with the c
utmost sirrmlieitv. In one corner of the v
room are the Emperor's boots. At the foot 8
of the bedstead is a movable shelf and a 8
writing case. The latter contains all the late
Emperor's orders. 5

AN EASTERN BLIZZARD".
The Worst Snow Storm in New
York's History.
Almost Entire Stoppage of Business
in the Metropolis.
The storm that visited New York on Monday
reduced everything to a condition of suspended
animation. Traffic was practically
stopped and business abandoned. The elevated
railway service broke down completely, but
not without supplying a tragedy to
the history of the clay; the street.
c* q t*q nroro valiialoca* f.Vta onhnrhftn rnil
ways were blocked, telegraph communications
were cut; the Exchanges did nothing;
the Mayor didn't visit his office; the city was
left to run itself; chaos reigned; and the
proud, boastful metropolis was reduced to the
condition of a primitive settlement. The
wind and snow did it all. The mischief began
brewing on Sunday with drizzling rain and |
gusty winds, which steadily increased in force.
When the city awoke Monday morning, it j
was staggered and amazed. Great rifts of
snow that kept shifting and twisting were j
piled up at the doors; sidewalks and streets
were invisible, the air was filled with sleet
and fine pellets of hail, which, impelled by
the force of the wind, pinched and stung like
hot needles, and clouded the vision with
what looked like clouds of white smoke.
Getting to business proved to most people
who essayed it an insurmountable task. In
the earlier hours of the morning here and
there a street car might have been seen
lurching like a ship in a storm behind four or
eight horses. Most of the people who succeeded
in getting down town had to foot it
or endure the extortion of some mercenary
Jehu. Fabulous prices were demanded
and often paid for carriage hire.
To add to the difficulty of locomotion was
the danger of getting one's legs snarled
up in the wrecked telegraph, telephone
and electric light wires that
were- plentifully strewed about.
The storm stopped the work of the law courts:
the legal mill ceased to grind and for a day
offenders went "unwhipt of justice." Said
was the plight of many who had come into
the city on the earlv suburban trains and
when they started homeward learned
that there were no trains. To make
matters worse when they hurried
to the telegraph offices to send reassuring
messages to their wives and families,
they were frequently told that the wires were
"down" and there were no "communications
open."
Many people rather than put up with the
discomfort of a return uptown on foot,
stopped for the night at down-town hote.'s.
Taken all in all it was a unique experience
for New York, one that New Yorkers
will talk about for many a day. Up
to 3 o'clock, two feet of snow
had fallen. The blockade on the railroads
was complete and there were no
trains out of town all day. Superintendent
Toucey, of the New York Central, said that
some forty trains wore snow bound between
110th Street and Woodlawn Junction on the
Harloin Road ^and Spuyten Duyvil, and that
the blizzard had captured all the trains
within a distance of at least thirty miles.
But two trains were dispatched?one of
them the newspaper train with two engines,
and the other tne Southern express with three
locomotives. Both were sent out wild, with
out reference to the time table. All telegraphic
communication was cut off
between New York and the Jersey coast
The telegraph wires began to give out shortly
after 1 o'clock a. m. Ibis was kept up until
daylight, by which time there was only one
or two in operation between New York
and Chicago, half a dozen or so to
Southern points, and a few to Boston,
Springfield and other New England cities.
These did not last long. At noon communication
with the West was almost entirely
cut off except at intervals. Then the Southera
lines went down, except at Philadelphia,
where a wire was occasionally obtained for a
lew moments and then lost.
It is calculated that not less than 500,030
men. women and children, who are classed as
wage-earners, were idle in New York, Brooklyn,
Long Island City, Jersey City and Hoboken
in consequence of the blizzard.
Then there about 40,030 men who are
employed in various capacities by street,
6teain railroad and elevated railroads who
could not work. They are emp'oyed as
drivers, conductors, freight clerks, freighthandlers
and checkers, yard and switchmen,
truck-drivers, expressmen. Streets
which generally are lined with
moving freighted wagons and trucks were
deserted. It is estimate ! that 'JO,000 truck
and wngon drivers did not work. Thousands
of porters, cab-drivers, store-clerks, printers,
agents, collectors, slaughter-house men, lumhni'.Vint>flloi-c
10 rK.f) InrxrsVmrMmpn dnnk
laborers,brick-handlers, blue and brown-stone
cutters, coal-yard employes, granite cutters,
derrickmen, hod-carriers, laborers remained
at home. When dusk came there was no
abatement of the fury of the blizzard. It
howled more and more loudly, accentuated
by the darkness and absence of all distracting
sounds. New York had at last
experienced at least one day
with a Western blizzard. Business was
totally suspended in Wall street, the Exchanges,
the Clearing House, the banks, the
Sub-Treasury, the Custom House, an 1 the
business that centers about them. All Che
great Exchanges were practically closed at
noon.
A collision occurred on the Third Avenue
Elevated Railroad in which one person lost
bis life and several passengers sustained injuries.
A serious accident occurred at Dobb's
ferry, 11; wmcn several persons wereinjureu,
md one very seriously, and it is almost a
niracle that there were not a number
tilled. The ferry-boat Oswego, of the
West Shore line, came in collision
irith a schooner on the North River,
A.n unknown woman who was a passenger on
ihe ferrvboat, lost her life through the accilent.
The mail servioe was at a standstill;
;he carriers could not make their rounds,
ind no mails were received from the outside
ivorld. The loss entailed on the
;ity by the storm is simply incalculable.
Figuring only on the few cases
h which definite amounts are obtainable
;he losses mounts up into hundreds of thou>ands,
and if estimates based on the total suspension
of business in all branches be iniluded
the total will reach far into the
nillions.
The Day After the Storm.
The 'day after the storm New York City
was completely isolated from the rest of the
pvorld. Business was at a stand still,
rhe greatest precautions were taken to
prevent conflagrations, the firemen and .
entire reserve police force patrolling the 1
business sections all day and night.
One-third of New York' spilot-boat fleet lay i
vrecked along the shores of the harbor and
ower bay, and serious fears were enertained
for the fate of fifteen other

irsfc news that came of the mislaps
to the pilots was brought by the tugjoata
Zouave and Richards when they de>osited
their load of fourteen castaway pilots

Sandy Hook, where five pilot-boats were

ong afterward came the news of three pilot>oats
wrecked at Bay Ridge and another at
tort Wadsworth?in all nine vessels. The
irews floated ashore on huge blocks of ice.
Several prominent citizens became lost in the
now drifts and perished.
1 The appearance of the city after the storm
n the early morning was a picturesque specacle
never to be forgotten. The streets
rere chocked with ieo and snow, varying in
lepth from two to fifteen feet. Narrow
horoughfares were blockaded com lctely
for all kinds of vehicles. 1
Juildinjjs -were ornamented in fantastic t
tyle with deposits of suow and festoons of ]
ce. Signs were obliterated and doorways i
rere hidden behind enormous drifts. On <
ome of the cross streets there were j

nd mountainous ridges of snow extendd
along the curbs like bulwarks. The parks j
cere literally buried, and broken trees and
hrubs scattered over the white desert were t
ilpnt but eloquent testimonials of the gale; * j
Not a surface car track cou.d <
? seen, and only the . long
locks of buildings markod the chan- r
tela of travel. The elevated railroad struct- 1
ire was the most unsightly obiect above i
.Tound. Many hats and caps blown from ]
pedestrians' heads and not recovered lodged i
[i out-of-the-way places. Broken .windows, c
rrecked signs ana awnings, and abandoned '
now-bound cars and wagons were conspicu- c
ur monuments everywhere. {
The river fronts were interesting points to t
tudy marine pictures and arctic scenes. Tho
!ast Biver was gorged with ice from shore to s
horo below the Brooklyn Bridge, and people g
iter crossed on the solid floes. The North \
liver was open, but filled with enormous a
! eases ot ice. Many people crossed from city
to city on the ice during the morning. The
general description of New York by daylight
would also answer for Brooklyn and
Jersey City.
In the height of the great storm the roofs
of a block of five tenement houses in Brooklyn
were blown away, and several children
were seriously hurt,
The Storm Elsewhere.
The disastrous effects of the great storm
have been widespread, though confined for
the greater part to the States bordering on
the Atlantic coast The storm did not extend
west of Buffalo, N. Y., and the trains westward
continued running as usual. Wi thin the
area covered by the nearest approach to a
blizzard the North Atlantic States have experienced
for very many years the ruin
and desolution which resulted was
fearful. The telegraph wires have
been thrown down; the railroads
have been compelled to cease operations;
trains filled with passengers, have been
stopped, in many cases far from stations or
any place where supplies could be obtained;
stock in transitu on the cars has been frozen
to death; the country roads have been
so blocked as to render travel upon them impossible;
in the various towns and villages
the schools and many of the public
buildincs have been closed, and a general
prostration of business has resulted.
At Albany the storm raged with great fury,
and the Legislature was compel led to ad journ
without a quorum, many of the legislators
being snow-bound at their homes.
Advices from Pittsburg, Harrisburg,Bradford.
Carbondale and other points in Pennsylvania
stated that the storm was the worst
in many years and that the business of the
ranroaas was completely paraiyzea.
All Eastern and Southern New York was
buried under huge drifts of snow, and business
was practically suspended. In and
about Boston the storm was comparatively
light, and travel was not seriously impeded.
Washington, D. C., was cut off frcm the
rest of the world for two days, many telecrach
poles and wires havinz blown down.
Tlie Work of Recovery in New York.
The first day of the storm witnessed an absolute
blockade. On Tuesdiy the people
forced their way out of their houses to gaze
upon the spectacle of the greatest city on the
Western Hemisphere thoroughly paralyzed
by the elements. On Wednesday after the
storm, when the city awoke, it was to realize
that something must be done and at once to
restore a normal condition.
Streets buried in softly irregular billows of
fleecy whiteness, with no small degrea of
beauty in the general aspect, were changed
into narrow channels of yellow slush
through which horses and men floundered.
"When the sidewalks had been cleared, and
piles of snow along them built up so
high that one could not see across
the streets from one side to the other.
various devices were adopted in some
localities for getting rid or the obstructions.
Many men dug caves in the big
banks, and built fires In them to
melt the snow, while others, where
there was suitable apparatus, turned
streams of hot water upon the big heaps.
Five thousand men and 900 horses
were engaged before 10 o'clock. It might
be said that the Street Commissioner
had organized a veritable shovel
brigade, constituting himself a commander-in-chief.
Tbe brigade wns broken
up into detachments and assigned the various
points at which to attack the common enemy,
snow. Operations were not suspended when
night set in.
It would be almost impossible, however,
to calculate the amount of suffering that was
endured throughout the city from lack of
coal, wood, milk and eggs. No milk was to
be had, because none bad been brought in
on any railroad s nee Satur.iay.
Coal and wood could not be delivered in
many streets because of the mounds of snow
which lined the sidewalks, and the supplies in
the yards were not plentiful. In soine cases
coal was sold for sixty cents a pail, or at the
rate of $43 per ton, while kinding wood could
not be obtained at any price.
iuv teiegrupu uuu wsiepnone companies
made but iittie progress in restoring their
lines. The telephone linemen were impeded
by the quantities of snow on the houses over
the roofs of which it was necessary to string
wires. It was both difficult and dangerous
to work under such circumstances.
The blockade on the railroads was partly
broken, but scores of trains, some flllea with
passengers, were still in drifts within a few
miles of the city. Every effort was made to
get them out, but as their rescue must be accomplished
byjshoveling'the process was slow.
The surface roads in New York made herculean
efforts to resume operations. Conductors;
drivers, andstableman wore enlisted
in the shovel brigade and were excavating
the buried rails as rapidly as possible. The
elevated roads were running with almost
