"Euroclydon the storm wind howlod
through western Vermont on MONDAY
night, carrying devastation and blockade
everywhere within it's range. 1t began
Monday evening and somewhat annoyed
those people who were caught out of doors,
turning ard making sport of umbrellas aud
covering pedestrians with snow. The next
morning what we were wont to call thor
oughfares and sidewalks were drifts OF
moist snow waiting for battle with snow
shoyels that had long lain idle. When The
town awoke the battle was not nearly SO
general, nor so rigorous, as 1t should have
been, many drifts yet lying where they
were piled on the sidewalks uudisturbed
save by the feet of travellers brave enough
to force path through them We learn
of but little damage being done in the vii
LACE. A small barn belonging 10 Mrs. Nc
Guirck on Green street, was blown overs
also small barn belonging to Hiram Che
ney, corner of Green and East streets, a
window at the Bardwell house blew in
about three o'clock, causing limb of the
law to arise at that unreasonable hour and
prowl tremblipgly around for porter to
repair the damages A. G. Bates and Sons
large new sign turned a somersault at the
mandate Of the storm, and number of
fences were blown down. r.e
Several accidents are reported from
around the village and neighboring towns.
Oakley Gibson north of the village had the
roof blown off from the l. of his house !;
II. l.. Gleason east of the village had "a
woodshed blown over and a chimney swept
from his house ; James Hay ward, east of
the village, had the roof lifted from a
horse barn; horse-barn belonging to John
| Mclaughlin, of Mendon, was blown over
and two colts injured.
on THE RAILROADS
The storm caused more delay to trains
than any which has occurred in this sec
ton for some time. Train No. 2, on the
Harlem Extension division, which SHOULD
have arrived here at 1.30 a. N. Tuesday
got into snow drift at Barnumville, a
station between Manchester and Dorset,
about midnight, from which they did not
get clear till five o'clock Tuesday afternoon
arriving in Rutland at eight IN the evening.
The tram consisted of one passenger and
one sleeping coach and contained nine
teen passengers. Among them French
party of sixteen bound for Montreal.
Before the blockade was raised number
of the party went back to Manchester for
ga square meal" and had not returned
when the train left. They came through
on the next train. The engines T. w.
Park and A. L. Miner, with passenger
aud milk car, left Rutland about 7 a. m. to
the assistance Of the snow bound train.
No accident occurred during the blockade
except getting the engine of the passenger
train off the track little and breaking the
pilot of the engine Park.
The train from Boston due at {. 25 reach
ed here one hour and twenty minutes late
and was held tillthe arrival of the belated
Harlem train, as a blockade on the Cen
trail road made it unnecessary for it to
reach Essex junction on its regular time
to make connection, leaving Rutland at
eight o'clock.
The New York express due at 1910 p
m. encountered snow drift between Ben
nington and North Bennington, from
which they were not extricated at a late
hour last evening.
The express which should leave Rutland
at IL q. m. left twenty minutes late, anC
went to East Dorset to await the passing
Of the snow bound train.
The morning train out on the RUTLAND
and Washington road encountered SOM
heavy snow drifts between Castleton ant
Poultney, also between Granville and Ru
pert, delaying them somewhat. In consc
quence of this delay and of snow encount
cred between Salem and Granville the tral!
| over that road due here at noon did not ar
rive till 2;45.
A snow-plow left here in the forenoon
, clearing the track to Bellows Falls so tina
4 the Boston train might not be delayed. Of
. the return the tire of one of the engin
0 wheels broke when near the Summit, an
{ the engine did not return until late in tn
| evening.
