New 'York, Nov. 10. ---Nearly all trains from the west were from 1 to 7 hours. late in reaching New York to- day. The Twentieth Century Lim- Ited, dee at 9.40 a. xn. was posted to arrive at between 3.40 and 4.40 p.m. Other New York Central trains were not as seriouely delayed, bet weye,late nevertheless. The Erie train from Buffalo and Cleveland, due at .8.15,arrived here at 9.05, The slew time, generally, was credited to interrupted ware service, doe to the storm. Telegraph and telephone companies reported to -day that the centre of ' wire demoralization was in and about Cleveland. Communication .with that city was practically cut off this morning, and there were no wire working west of Buffalo. Messages from Chicago were sent via Atlanta, Memphis and St. Louis, over three wires, in place of the thirty-six which normally connect it 'with New York, There was only one wire between New York and Pitts- burg, Telegraph officiale said that the trouble was principally due to the blowing down of poles. Practically all Pennsylvania Rail- road trains due from the west were chalked tip from 1 tO 7 hours late, Two from St. Louis, due at 1,20 and 1,34 p, m. respectively, were away be- hind schedule. The first was four hours behind time, the second nearly two hours. Two trains from Chicago, which normally arrived here at 8.57 and 9.28 m. respectively, were both reported more than six hours behind in leaving Pittsburg. 70 MILES AN HOUR. Buffalo, N.Y., Nov. 10.—The wintry gale that has gripped the middle west for 24 hours arrived here early to -day, 3,nd the city awoke to face a 70 -mile -an - hour gale, that drove before it clouds of fine snow and sleet. Trains from the storm centre west ot here came in covered with ice, and from two to seven houra late. No boats were sighted ore the harbor to -day, and the wireless has been unable to pick up any steamers on Lake Erie for 24 hours, so it was believed that ample warnings of the storm had sent all shipping to a safe anchorage. It was reported from Long Point, Ont.,. that the steamer Elphicke, which ran ashore three 'weeks ago, Was rapidly pounding to piecei. Reports of another vessel in distress In that vicinity could not be confirmed this morning from Ontario ports on the north shore. A FOOT OF SNOW.
