the blockaded railroads looks somewhat seri-
Gus. One train from the east over the Santa Fe
road succeeded In reaching Pueblo SATURDAY. af
midnight, the first since Thursday, and three
others arrived here yesterday. The Kansas
Pacific announces thatthe train which has been
blockaded nearly two weeks will reach here to-
DAY, but this expectation may not be verified
as more snow Is falling here. Burlington trains
ana those of the Union Pacific via Julesb;rv
continue TO arrive. The San Juan division OF
the Denver and Rio Grande ran no trains sun
day. Reports from that corner of the state are
10 the effect that il has showed hard ali day. a
iaH OF fully twelve inches being noted at Du-
range. There are some fears OF a serious block
ade on that line, but the company will make
no effort until the snow storm ceases. Silver

Friday night, but IL did not assume severe pro-
portions until last night, when it was reported
raging with great fury, with a high wind and
drifting badly, making the streets impossible

The suddcnsd death Of Miss Kathesaas,I.e Ray-
ard, the daughter of Secretary Bayard, as an
nounced in Saturdays STAR, was caused by
heart disease. For some years she had suffered
with heart trouble and had been warned by her
fatigue. The immediate cause of the attack
that ended in her death was probably caused
by over fatigue In receiving guests the evening
before. Her death was first discovered by her
sister, who went to her room shortly before two
O'Clock pm. to notify her that it was time to get
ready for Miss Cleveland's reception. She was
warm. Drs. Gardner and Pope were called in
at once, but she was found to be quite dead
when they reached her bedside.

ments and great social prominence. She was
the only member of the family born outside of
Wilmington, having been born In Baltimore.
