Breaking Roads.

The present winter has shown the
lneficiency of the common way of
breaking roads and it is good time
to consider the question whether way
cannot be devised to break roads, in
villages and out, that shall be effectual
and practical. The snow has come
upon the ground so deep, that it is
really difficult to turn out i'm MANY
streets of this village, especially for
loaded teams. This is particularly the
case on Church and Summer streets,
where "a wide snow pillow has run, piling
up the snow each side so as to almost
ensure capsize to sleighs that venture
one runner upon the embankment.
There are two remedies for this evil.
The first aud most practical is to make
a double track, not only in villages.
but between villages. If there was
double track between this place and
the Centre, for instance, every team
taking the right hand path, there would
be neither danger nor delay in meeting
even a load of hay or load of wood.
To accomplish this successfully, it
should OF course be begun with the first
snow of winter, and then it could easily
be kept up.
Another way is to take large land
roller and roll the streets after each
snow stOrm-rolling track wide enough
so teams can pass without danger of
upsetting. AS our streets have been
these two weeks past, they are actually
dangerous. 1t is good time to devise

The Unknown Dead of Ashtabuls

AsHTABULA, OHIO, Jan. Is. - The
funeral services of the unidentified
dead took place to-day. Nineteen bod.
les were lowered into the grave At
Chestnut Grove Cemetery. General
funeral services were held at the Meth.
odist Episcopal Church at 1890 y. m
and an Episcopal service at st. Peters
at 2 p. m. The clergymen of Ashtabu-
la, assisted by two Protestant Episco-
pal ministers from Cleveland, held
joint services with the Masonic order
at the grave. Three bodies still re-
main in the vault in the hope that
friends may be able to identify them by
pieces of clothing clinging TO them.

The Ashtabula Horror.
SUICIDE OF CHIEF ENGINEER COLLINS OF
THE LAKE SHORE ROAD.

SUICIDE OF CHIEF ENGINEER COLLINS OF
THE LAKE SHORE ROAD.
CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 20. Charles
Collins, Chief Engineer of the Lake
Shore Railroad, was found dead in his
house this morning, having evidently
committed suicide. In one hand was
grasped revolver, while another pistol
and razor were lying beside him on
the bed. He undoubtedly shot himself.
This act was the direct result of the
great disaster at Ashtabula. Collins
had on Wednesday been closely ex-
amined by the Legislative Committee
regarding the disaster, and though
members are said to have expressed
opinions in private that he was not re-
sponsible, the fear that he would be so
considered by the public, if not by the
Judiciary, seems to have driven him to
this action. He was missed almost i'm
mediately after the examination, though
he was then supposed to have gone to
Ashtabula to join his family, who were
visiting there. The developments of
to-day Indicate that he committed sui
eide very soon after testifying before
the Committee, having appeared great
ly depressed both before and after ex-
animation. The general impression is
that he was not in any way responsible
for the accident, but that fear that he
would be so considered led to the rash
act. He was 81 years of age, a graduate
of Troy Polytechnic Institute, and had
been a resident of Cleveland since IS49.
and engineer on the road since its con-
sOlidati0n. He enjoyed the unlimited
confidence of COmmOdore VapdarhiIt
and was generally considered one of the
finest engineers in the country. He was
alone in his house when the deed was
committed, the entire family, except
colored servant, being in Ashtabula.

A snow storm, such as has not Oc-
Cured in the memory of man. began on
the 18th of December in Schleswig Jut-
land, the Danish islands and Sweden
and Norway, and continued till Christ
mas. During all this time, travel by
ordinary roads and by railway was
greatly impeded, and finally at many
places suspended, and the STEAMBOATS,
between copenhagen and Stockholm
were obliged to discontinue their trips
for days. On the Danish state railways
the snow lay from l2 to IL feet deep.
The success of Mr.. Moody in Chicago
has been marvellous. About $500 per
sons have been converted, between
5000 and 5000 have been seriously
impressed, hundreds of drunkards have
signed the temperance pledge, and the
churches have been fired with new zeal.

be present. Those who attend the
opening exercises are expected to con-
tribute literally to the building fund.
