engine was then sent, and after some
digging the train was extricated. The
snow is reported drifted in to the heigbt
of the roof of passenger car for mile
near town, and the railroad men have
been engaged in the slow process of
digging it out.
At about noon Friday large part of
the glass roof of the east side of the car
house at the Grand Central depot, New
York, was crushed in by the weight of
the snow upon it. The thick glass fell
with crash directly over the part of
the depot in which the train come in,

way was more than 100 feet. Fortu-
nately no train was in at the time one
was just due, and if it had arrived and

Mr.. Blaine is likely to disappoint the
Democrats as completely us Mr.. Conk-
ling has. A Washington dispatch to
The Boston Herald says: ''Mr. Blaine
has declared himself upon the political
situation in letter which has been re-
ceivd here. He denies that he has
ever said or done anything which
would warrant anybody in forming any
judgement as to what course he intends
to take on the Presidential dispute.
He states that being new Senator he
does not intend TO speak on the subject
at all. He declares that he has seen
nothing to change his first impression
that Hayes and wheeler are elected.
and that being the case, he does not
see why any compromise should he
made.n
