Os New England Leaves a Trail
of Devastation.
Boston, Nov. 28 —A record
breaking November blizzard
swept over the greated poition
of New England yesterday, com
pletely dernoralyzing telegraph
ic aud telephonic communica
tion, while the Northeast gale,
coming on a high course of tides,
drove the sea far beyond its
usual limits and made a mark
alongshore exceeded only by
the memorable hurricane of
1851.
During the gale thirty barges
and schooners lying in t ie har
bor Were wrecked ami sunk and
at least twelve lives tv< re lost.
While the storm was heaviest
in the Southeastern part of New
England, the whole district was
affected and experienced a snow
'all of from eight to 24 inches
and as the center of the disturb
a ;ce moved down the Maine
coast that section and the prov
inces has probably received a
-irnilar taste of winter wenthei
tonight.
Fortunately the storm was
hes ilde I sufficiently ip advance
by the weather bureau to detain
most of the coastwise shipping
m safe harbors, but the warning
was entirely unheeded aud ig
nored by those on shore with the
result that nearly every one, es
pecially the railroad* and elre
trie compa'iiet, wre caught
napping and suffered according
ly. There was not a railroad in
New England that was not more
or less tied up by the heavy fall
of snow and the great drifts and
reads running along the coast
like the New York, Ntw Haven
and Hartford ai d the Boston
a id Maine, had the ad led diffi
culty of frequent washouts in
places exposed to the heavy
seas.
Trains, North, East, South
and West were nearly all stalled
early in the night, although one
train from Baugor reached Lynn
this noon and two Chicago trains
caaie into the city later.
In cities and towns depend
ent upon electrical service it was
even worse, for the damp snow
packed hard on the rails and
he'd up even the heavy snow
plows.
The service in the city was
probably the best of any of the
surrounding communities, yet
even here there was no attempt
made to run more than a dozen
cars on Washington street and
one or two other main thorough
fares.
The storm, while not so severe
and far reaching in its effects as
the blizzard of la-t le ruury,
was nevertheless the heaviest
experienced in November in this
part of the country for a long
series of years. Coming on Sun
day, it did not cause the annoy
ance or inconvenience it would
have dene on a week day and
most of the transp rtaticn com
panics made heroic efforts to at
least partially recover from the
effects of the blockade.
Only the harbor reports were
received up to 6 o’clock last
night of the effects of the storm
on the coast, but even those few
lines gave rise to the graves*
