Show The Cold Snap In New York. New Yobk, February 5. The thermometer this morning stands six degrees below zero. The present cold snap is by far the ooldest of the season, and the suffering among the poor is very great. Trains on the elevated roads are greatly delayed, and owing to the snow it is almost impossible for horse-cars to make headway. Twenty persons who walked across the Brooklyn bridge yesterday had some portion of their bodies frozen. Charitable persons bought large numbers of tickets for rides in the Brooklyn bridge cars and had the police give them to poorly-clad persons who attempted to walk across. Four steamers arrived at this port yesterday, yester-day, but no sailing vessels have been reported. |
