| trail trains in this vicinity have had . hard
! time during the last two days Of the week.
The most of the trouble has occurred on the
Mount Desert and Bucksport branches and
has been caused by the fne. hard snow drifts
which haye been packed in over the rails bv
the heavy wind. The train for Mount Desert
Ferry left here ut seven o'clock Thursday
evening and got stuck 1t Franklin road. An
engine was sent from the Ferry to their re
lief. but that got stuck and used it's supply of
coal and water before it reached them. A
powerful locomotive with a pillow was sent
from this city to the relief of the snow bound
trains, but this was caught fast Just below
Ellsworth. Neither of the trains was able to
60 ahead or come back, but all were obliged
| to remain where they were until Friday morn
ing when train went from here 70 their re-
lief. The first train from the Ferry since
Thursday arrived at Bangor Friday afternoon

ness to accompany him. They we're to take
the morning train. The witness, however,
failed to keep his agreement, and the train
had departed ere he appeared at the appoint
ed place. The sheriff was bound to have the
man here at the time set and they both started
out for Bangor afoot, it being impossible to
make satisfactory trade with an Ellsworth
stable keeper. After walking twenty-three
miles the twain were taken in by an accom-
modating driver.
