PerllS Of Railroad Building In the
Northwest-.A Working Parry Ont
on by the Storm. lFyT

CHICAGO, November 2l.-A special
from st. Paul, Minnesota, says that
gloomy news may be anticipated from
the Minnesota track layers on the exten.
sion Of the Union, q st. Paul railroad.
They were approaching the western State
line at the rate Of two miles daily, when
the terrible storm Of last Thursday night
enveloped them and cut them of from
communication with the civilized world.
The working force numbers over eight
hundred men, and so sanguine were
their expectations that, the favorable
weather would outlaSt November, that
no preparations were made TO avert the
calamity, which, II Is feared, has befalIen
them. Only small supply Of provisions
were kept in store, for although one hun.
dred miles distant from the telegraph
construction trains, we maintained regu-
lar communication. with Sleepy Eye, the
nearest white settlement When the in
telligence Ot the storm reached Winona,
j. II. Stewar, General Superintendent,
started out with TIVE locomotives and
trains Of cars, but so heavy and deep
were the snow drifts and so intense the
cold that up 70 Saturday morning they
had not passed New Ulm.- Here two ad.
di!ional locomotives were attached to the
train. Then taking on board rations Tor
thirty days and one hundred and fifty
men, besides materials with which to fit
up boarding accommodations In the cars,
the train was again started, and passage
way forced through drifts Of Bnow eight
and ten feet deep, and even where the
snow did not exceed one foot In depth, so
hard was 1t packed that recourse was had
to shovels in order to advance. On
Sunday the train had penetrated twenty
five miles. Meantime the storm ragged
with violence unprecedented. When last
heard from on Tuesday night the relief
train was stuck fast in the ever accumu-
lating snow forty miles west ot Sleepy
Eye and eighty miles short OF the suffer.
ing track-layers. Yesterday morning the
telegraph wires were down west OF St.
Peter. The latest reports from Winona
in the afternoon state that the wind has
increased TO furious gale. For six days
the storm has continued with unabated
Jury. The principle impression created
Is that the men az the end OF the track
will actually starve before reliet can
reach them. No supplies are known to
be accessible, for the line Is being con.
structed in advance OF the surveys, far
into the country inhabited only by few
adventurous squatters and sIckly Indians.

one time the entire northern portion Of
tho city was threatened with destruction.
The epizootic has disabled all the horses
OF the fire department. and the steamers
which were drawn by the citizens, were
considerably delayed in reaching the fire,
There were 100 buildings destroyed, the
majority oi which were tenement houses,
principally occupied by negroes. The

l. Bro, VIM. Bush and Jno. n. Headley,
It's impossible at this time 10 give even

Dead Horses and Disease Floating
Down the Ohio River..A Nice
Source Of Water Supply.


From Yesterdays Cincinnati Commercially
There Is already evidence that the dis.
ease now epizootic among horses may be
communicated TO other animals, and
spread among them with the same rapidi.
y and greater fatality than among horses.
Barnyard fowl In Eastern New York
have taken Il, and there Is prospect that
the Knickerbockers and their cousins will
have to depend Tor thanksgiving dinners
90 such supplies Of wild game or poultry
brought from distance as the markets
may afford. A case in this city has been
locally recorded where chickens scratch
Ing and picking about the stable Of a sick
hUNe were presently taken with the
died.
lnaSmuch, therefore, as the disease may
oe communicated by contagion or inlec.
uon, those who dwell along the Ohio
river and draw their supplies Of water
from It are not made entirely comfortable
In their minds that at Pittsburgh 1t Il q
common thing to dump dead horse into
Ihe stream, and leave the carcass to the
current 10 be carried away from that city.
These poisoned carcasses, 1t Is said, have
oeen seen floating In thewater this side
Of Wheeling, and they have probably
Oesn brought down past our own city.
There % no doubt that the water, though
mus poisoned at Pittsburgh, would purify
isell before reaching Cincinnati. Were
y not Tor this tendency TO rid itself OF
foreign substances the water of such
sueam would be utterly untitled for drink.
.ag. But II Is quite another matter when
sAe carcass Is thrown into the river, in
iscang the water as 1t floats along, A
uHcght Of 1t taken into the human stom-
Seh p might be as fatal as the poison Of the
sorgtss to Gennarro and his frolieksome
associates, +'TT'o ~ . ssT
We do not affirm that the report Of the
Sspoaitton made Of dead horses at PItts-
oaFg9 Is true. We only state the rum0
