The Railroad Gazette prints that the st.

| The report has been officially contradicted.
| Apropos to the present egg famine in st:
Paul, 1t is related of popular railroad official
that on his way to dinner yesterday he remem-
some eggs Not caring to be burdened with
large bundle, but oblivious of the present val
ue of hen fruit, he stepped into grocery and
asked for two dozen fresh eggs. AS the gro
Ger was counting them out he remarked that
| eggs were scarce and he wouldn't let any
other man in St. Paul have two dozen. "Thank
you," said the Judge, as he received the pack
age and pulled out handful Of specie, show
much?" sSixty-five cents dozen; one dol.
| lar and thirty cents,' was the bland reply.
| "And believe I'm the only blessed idiot in
| town who would ask for two dozen eggs at
that price, was the self.accusing comment
of the fudge, as he walked out with his
treasures.
More Sno,c and More Trouble Coming.
Dispatches of yesterday from the West and
Southwest reported heavy snow storm over
wide extent of country. At Fort sully
nearly two feet had fallen in the twenty-four
hours ending at noon: at Sioux Falls and
Sioux City fourteen inches; and at other
| points on the Sioux City road and branches
west of Lake Crystal, ten to fourteen inches.
Near nightfall snow was still falling. This
| threatens more and serious trouble for the
Sioux City and its branches west Of Lake Crys-
tai, in Minnesota, Iowa, Dakota and Nebraska,
| but the Blue Earth branch and the main line
east of Lake Crystal are not likely to be blocked
| Inc hastings O. Oakota, ICY yoHu uiohoo0, t,ie
Northwestern, beyond st. Peter, and the
Southern Minnesota, which have been badly
| blocked by drifts most of the season. are
now in danger of being closed till big
| thaw comes. When the cuts filled up early In
the season little more than the width OF the
cars was opened, and at each successive fill the
snow has been piled up at the sides, till now
| the cuts, when they are opened, present the
appearance of narrow ways between high per-
| DendicI11ar walls of snow,
Heretofore the northern roads have escaped
| trouble, not having lost day this winter on
account of snow, but yesterday the snow storm
| extended to the St. Paul 81 Manitoba both
lines, and on the Northern Pacific, from Sauk
Rapids nearly to the western border of the
State. The St. Paul & Duluth has also con-
| siderable snow from about Hinckley to Du-
| luth. The season is soon coming when these
roads will have their snow storms, and when
their managers will hope that they arc to be
blessed with an early spring.
THE MIDNIGHT OUTLOOK.
At IL o'clock last night the railroad outlook
was decidedly unfavorable. The trains which
left here yesterday afternoon and evening,
whether for the north, west, south or east,
were all reported behind time, losing time and
in danger of being stopped by the snow, which
was heavier north and northwest than reported
during the day. The Wisconsin Central, due
at 915; the Sioux City express, due at $50;
the Fargo passenger, due at 6:15 P. NJ; and
the Northern Pacific, due at $40 p. M.-had
none arrived. The Breckenridge passenger,
due at 7:05 p. NJ, .,came in about 11:30, and pas
sengers reported that the running was very
difficult. The Saltwater evening train came
in six hours late. Train dispatchers were OF
the opinion that if the wind continued to blow
through the night no trains would be sent out
on any road this morning.
