of locomotion reached Khzabeth
town by nightfall, where they
snatched a few hours of troubled
sdeep. Saturday they hastily ate
a few morsels of food and dashed
back ujon the line to catch up
the slack; surveyed intn Kliza
bethtown: all over Flizalteth
town. and vanished, leaving
nothing better than a few crook
ed stakes to console, a gaping
populace. Certain it ia that if
this bunch of Seaboard Air line
engineers had turned their at
tention to the north poie a year
ago neither Cook mr Teary would
have ever been heard of in this
connection. 25 miles in a day
and a half looks like fast survey
ing - or a mighty big bluff.
One of the things for which
the people of Bladen are now
striving is to get into close touch
with such progressive towns as
Fumberton and Fayelteville. If
te Virginia A Carolina South
ern is extended into FSladen it
will pass through three town
ships, a distance of about twenty
miles. It would give more of
the Bladen people, an outlet to
I-uroberUm. ana would certainly
cive them a. direct an outlet, as
a road from Kliiabethtown cross
ing the Big Swamp above Smith's
bridge, running back to Bellamy
and thence to Iaimberton. There
ia another thing about it: the ad
vantages of a town are estimated
as much by the KIND of rail
roads that it has as by the
NUMBEU. TheV. &C.&R.R.
is already an established road.

New York by a wave , !-sa gi
gantic proprtions.
Trams were staiie-i r late
ti.roughojt the Fast . w.rejj, P
UAe the familiar terms, were
"paralyzed" or "crippled" and
streets were almost impassable
except where heroic measures
were adopted to clear them The
automobile was rendered! temp,
ran! useless.
The freight steamer Tnunnan,
going ashore on the -Jersey coast,
offered an opportunity for Uae
always spectacular use of tke
breeches buoy, by means of which
her crew was rescued.
Two men were drowned aear
Seymour, Conn., when a trolley
car left the track and plunged
into the icy river. Almost every
city of consequence, where the
storm reached, reports suffering
or deaths due to exposure.
New England was hardest kit
Saturday night and Sunday, ap
parently receiving the full force
of the storm, which had been
working eastward.
New York had the tremendous
task of street cleaning on its
hands.
A mio fail i f ;-teen inches,
which drifted in places to a
height ot ten r'eet or more, com
iiletely tied up for hours Sunday
ail te ui; aii'i tn l ey traffic in the
vicmit.v of I'i.il.ri.'iplii.i. Many
trams wre stalled, and the Penn
sylvania ii inroa i announced that
eight ;rani- hud been held at
Frazer, Pu. . for rive hours. Among
them were the Pennsylvania 18
h.nir tram from Chicago for New
York, the Manhattan express
from ( hi .'ago for New York, and
other fast trains: Two cars at
tached to the leading train left
the track, and this was responsi-
nle for the holding of the trains.
Tiie passengers were well taken
care of. The 18 hour train left
Frazer at h o'clock, and was fol
lowed by other trains.
Cirim winter swept into New-
England Sunday on the wings ot
a northeast storm with such ter
rific energy as to cause great
damage, much inconveniencc,nt
a little suffering and a few
deaths.
The gale drove a tide into the
Massachusetts bay which nearly
equaled that of the famous stoma
af 1851, and the wet snow pros
trated wires, telephones, tele
graph, electric light, and trolley
and railroad trains were stalled.
Three persons lost their livea in
Everett and Chelsea by the sud
den rise of the tide.
New York and its environs
were practically stormbound far
the first time this winter. The
west wing of railroad service was
almost wholly cut off. wire com
munication in every direction
was crippled, metropolitan streets
were blocked with snow and
shipping suffered considerable
damage.
