Snowstorm in New York

NEW YORK, January 31 (Special Dispatch). The worst "blizzard" seen in twenty years is raging all over northern New York State. The snow, which began to fall Thursday night, about 5 o'clock, reached a height of three feet the following morning, and up to twenty feet in the depressions in the ground. Transportation by rail and by boat is interrupted; the famous express of the twentieth century has had to be abandoned for the second time in its history. During the night of Friday to Saturday, hundreds of people had to sleep in the trains parked at Syracuse.
In New York, the Hudson is so choked with floating ice that the boats which ply the New Jersey service take an hour and a quarter for a crossing which usually lasts eight minutes.
