BLIZZARD IMPEDES TRAFFIC

Columbus, 0., Has Shortage of Meat and Live Stock from Btorm. Columbus, 0., Feb. 18.—All records for snow falls were broken here when, the local weather bureau announced an official 14.9 inches. High winds have accompanied the snowfall, with the result that great drifts have impeded railway traffic. Nearly every train was late from one to ten lmsn and electric lines are paralyzed. As a result of the Btorm there is a shortage of meat and live stock receipts and live hogs broke all records when they sold at $9.50, this price ex- - ceedlng even that of Civil War times.
