NEW YORK, March 3.—A bright sun and risingylemperature gave aid to New York to-day in its desperate efforts to break the icy shackles placed upon the nation’s metropolis by the worst blizzard since 1888, whiie reports trickliing in over repaired but | still tottering telephone and telegraph wires showed that the death list as a result of the storm in States along the coast will reach 5 and may. g 0 much higher, The damage in the East as a result of the blizzard is expected to reach fully $10,000,000. The cost of removal of snow,in this city alone will be $2,000,000. Ships are ashore at varieus points on the Atluntic coast and many small erait were-sunk i the ice. With the abatement of wind, tugs put out from this port to search for a string of mist#ing barges, carrying 23 men, which became lost in the blizzard oft Fire Island. The chief aftermath of the blizzard In this city lay in the attempts to re stere the streets and traffi¢ to some thing like normal. 7,000 Clearing Streets, Street (leaning Commissioner 'l’ulhq-rslun employed a force of 7,800 men, who at daybreak attacked the 141-inch laver of snow in the principal streets, lovery available wagon was pressed into service, but with all the agencies working urder pressure, it was believed that it will be two weeks before conditions here are near nor mal.
