without accident, but mis- connection with
the Chicago train at the junction. TIT
capacity Of the stoves, with the best of dry
wood, was well tested, to prevent the
passengers from freezing stiff. Thinking

It's now about p. NJ. The weather,
from Zero, minus l6, has moderated few
notches, and the snow is falling in doses as
copious as those administered by an old
