C. W. Bradshaw came into The News office yesterday with the re minder that "today is the 55th anniver sary of one of the biggest snows North Carolina ever saw." . Col. Bradshaw was at that time, Jan. 18, 1857, a conductor on the old North Carolina Railroad, running be tween Charlotte and Raleigh, being in charge of the passenger train. He left Charlotte at 7 a. m. on that day with four or five passengers, among them Col, W. J. Yates, editor of The Demo crat; Col. Theodore S. Garnett and a Mr. Quinn, of Cherryville. It was Sun day morning. : The train, which con sisted only of an engine, one passen ger car, and a combination baggage and mail car, was from 7 to 12 o'clock making the trip from Charlotte to Lex ington. There the snow was between two to three feet deep while here it was about 18 to 20 feet. At Lexington the passenger car was abandoned and the journey resumed with the engine and the combination and mail car. It was nearly dark when the' train got to Jamestown, where Dr. James Coffin, who stated that he had a roaring log fire, going and plenty of delectable and substan tial food handily, invited the wayfarers into spend the night, which they did. The train reached Raleigh on the fol lowing Thursday after much dragging and shoveling of snow from the tracks Of all those conected with' the old North Carolina Railroad at that time, Col. Bradshaw, so far as known, is the sole survivor. If one should chance o be living and see this story, Col. Brad shaw would like to get in touch with him. Mr. W. L. Scott, uncle of Mr. John M. Scott, of this city, who boarded the train at Thomasville, as a passenger, is still living, but all of the passengers and crew, except Cel. Bradshaw, have passed to the great beyond. It was the custom of Col. Bradshaw and the late Col. Yates to celebrate the big snow with a dinner, but now that Col. Yates is dead Col. Bradshaw is now compelled to celebrate the occas ion without the company of any of the active participants.' He is not failing, however, to celebrate it, even today. Mr. Charlie Frazier, the genial mana ger and cashier of the Frazier Cafe, several days ago invited Col. Brad shaw to celebrate the occasion by din ing at the Frazier Cafe. Col. Brad shaw accepted. .

The three men who were arrested after the throwing of a bomb at the carriage of Premier Yuan Shi Kai, were put to death yesterday by strangling. The premier has been granted three days leave, ostensibly on account of indisposition arising from the excite ment caused by the attempt on his life.
