THE BIG STORM.
The storm that commenced Friday night
proves to have been a very severe one and
interfered very seriously with the running
of trains, good deal of wind accompa-
nying the snow fall, and the result is that
the cuts were filled and the snow was piled
up in high drifts upon some portion of
the tracks of most of the roads. The ST..
Paul & Manitoba, and the Northern Pacific
roads suffered comparatively little. The
train that left st. Paul in the morning on
the st. Paul and Manitoba line was stopped
near Fridley but it subsequently got
through all right.
The Chicago, st. Paul & Omaha road, on
the entire division, was all right with the
exception that some of the trains were de-
layed little by the hard wheeling.
The Hastings & Dakota road was shut
up and all trains were discontinued on &C
count of the immense drifts of snow which
ror Iara1 ~ 10 h H.
The o'clock train was started out yester-
day morning from st. Paul but was forced
to return. The afternoon train was not
started.
The I. & NJ. division of the Chicago,
Milwaukee 81 St. Paul road was
also serioUsls interferred with. The morn
ing train that was to have been sent out
from st. Paul was held for orders, and the
train due here at 7:45 yesterday morning
did not arrive at all.
The Sioux City train due here at 1:55
a. NJ, did not get through, the track being
blocked up all about Mankato and west of
that place.
The Burlington, Cedar Rapids & North
ern road was shut up and trains were
wholly stopped on it, which closed up the
Albert Lea route
The Winona & st. Peter road is blocked
from Sleepy Eye west.
The river division of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul road was all right and
trains were on time.
The Saltwater & North Wisconsin train
was inteferred with by broken rail and
car was thrown across the track so that
business on that road was stopped for
several hours, near East st. Paul.
The White Bear & Minneapolis road
was blocked up and trains were stopped,
but it was thought the obstruction would
soon be removed. The storm seems to
have caused the most delay in the south
and east, more especially in the south.
