WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 49,
The efforts OF the railroads TO open
communication with the North sue
ceeded at O'Clock tonight, when
the train which, left New York at Q
o'clock last night arrived after %
hard, slow. and tedious trip. Per
sons who wore on the train say
their experience was without pre-.
codent in this part Of the country.
The storm broke out in its fury
when the train was nearing Phlla-
delphia was reached, however,
without very great difficulty; but
after leaving there the train had
to grope its way, the train hands
going ahead with lanterns to give
notice of distinctions on tile track.
Telegraph poles, wires, up rooted
trees and distinctions of all kinds
were found lying across the rails at
frequent intervals. The passen-
gers aided the railroad men in re-
moving the distractions, and after
great labor Wilmington was reach
ed, a little beyond which the cars
were stopped to await daylight
One passenger estimated that 800
poles we're removed from the track
between Philadelphia and Will
mirgton. After daylight the train
slowly worked its way to Washing
ton, frequent stops being made fol
the removal of Instructions.

 The movement Is good one, If at the same time, congress would abolish the postal note system.
