The Union Pacific railroad company

have furnished a statement ofthe snow
blockades on the road during the win
fer. The first blockade occurred as early
as the 18th of October. since which
time the road has been free only at
brief intervals. Within the last two
wears. snow sheds or snow fences have
been built along the line of the road in
various places, on the northwest side,
from which direction it was believed
the storms most generally come. This
protection answered very well for some
weeks. Three successive snow storms
then came from directly the opposite
direction. and the storm fences were use.
less as a protection. Fences
were then erected on the other side Of
the road. but when the next heavy
storm occurred, in November, they
were found insufficient to pro-
tect the track from the drifting snow.
Snow povs were then used, of which
the company had thirteen. Three
heavy engines were coupled behind the
pillow, and as result of this attempt
twenty. five locomotives were disabled
within one week by being thrown from
the track and materially injured. The
drifted snow proved to be so dense that
it was impossible to force the rlow
through or into it until aflcr the Gu,
was trenched at interval. of eight or
ten feet down to the rails. Manual
labor was then re.orted to. TO clear the
track. Seven snow trains were fitted
out with accommodations for lodging
and feeding seventy five laborers. With
the aid of the snow trains and plows
the company were enabled to send
trains over the road. The winter has
been one Of intense cold and frequent
storms, the like of which has not been
know for twenty-five years and
the difficulties of the road have
been increased by it passing through
region destitute Of supplies and of
labor, and both these were required to
be Transported over long distances, by
long continued working extra hours
and during the intense cold. While
the weather is cold, no trains will be
sent out without a supply of pro visions
and coal. The only Instructions now
on the road are between Laramie aud
Nashakie. There are now seven west
pound passenger trains detained nea,
the separation, aud there are two eas
pound passenger trains at Green rive
waiting until the western bound trains
snail pass the blockadas at various
points along the road. There ar,
ABOUT eight hundred west bound car

MEMPHIS, August l7.-Early this
morning a fisherman discovered the
httle steamer Helen Brooks floating
down stream, some ten miles above
here, and apparently abandoncd.-
He rowed out to the steamer, made
a line fast and pulled her towards
the shore, but before reaching it saw
a negro in 4 sitting posture asleep
on the lower deck. As soon as the
boat struck the shore he started M
and lcaped ashore and ran into the
woods. The fisherman then board
ID the steamer and found traces OF
Il desperate struggle having taken
place, the deck being covered with
blood. lie then came to this city
and reported what be had doue, and
seen. Subsequently the steamer
GraHd Tower arrived here, bringing
a message from Bradling'o Landing,
eleven miles above here, stating
that the crew Of the Helon Brooks
and the proprietors and families Of
a trading boat which the Helen
Brooks had towed up there, had
been murdered and the boats pIup-
dcrod. a 5uoritI was at once dis
patched on the steamer John Evart-
IN, &nt reports that Capt. Vim. Patt,
and his brother, Of the trading boat,
together with their wives and two
daughters were all murdered. and
their bodies thrown into the river.
The above exaggerated account
We clipped from one Of our exchan.
ges. Tho Memphis APPEAL gives a
true version Of the affair. When
the negroes attacked the boat the
women fled TO the woods for safety,
and, though some pistol shots were
exchanged, nobody was killed. The
negroes took possession Of the boat
and foatcd down wAer9 il was
as described.

The printer boy, who, in 1914, set up
in the Baltimore American the Ms. OF
Francis Scott Keys poem, The Star
spangled Banner" still lives in full
vigor, being none other than Samuel
Sands, the editor OF the American Farm
er. The American received the MS.
from John S. Skinner, who, after the
bombardment of Fort McHenry and the
withdrawal of the British fleet, was sent
down to them in fag-of-truce boat to
negotiate for an exchange Of prisoners.
Mr.. Skinner chaneed to meet MIR. Key on
the boat and obtained from him . copy
Of his song. 1t was not for some time
after its publication that the modest Key
would permit it to be known that he was
the author. Mr.. Sands has long been
known as tho editor Of the Farmer, but
the fact Of his having set up" 1.-The
Shr-Spangled Banner" will be new to
many.
