NEW YORK, March 2l.-A Berlin special
says every two or three hours reports
reach the hotels and telegraph offices that

scurrying and hurrying about thea, but
absolutely to no purpose. The efforts
made To stop all news from leaking out

RAILROAD MATTERS.
81. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain First
Uses Steam Car Heating.

The st. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain
railroad Is the first road in Vermont to
heat all its passenger cars by steam. The
system is extremely simple. The steam
comes from the locomotive, and is con-
veyed through the train by an iron pipe,
which Is twisted around in such a way rs
to run under every seat The connection
between two cars is made by two rubber
tubes, on the same principle as the air
brake ana Ia each car is apparatus for
regulating the steam or cutting it off en-
tlrely, if desired. The system has proved
an entire success, heating the cars thor
oughly even when the mercury registered
30 degrees below zero

Milton Town Meeting.

MILTON, March 20.-The adjourned town
meeting was held to-day and large num-
Der were in attendance, not only from this
but also from neighboring towns. The
event of greatest interest was the discus
sion OF the town report between Mr..
George Ashley, eX-selectman, and the
auditors, Ion, G. /. Ladd and DR.. H.O.

sufficiently indicated by the fact that Mr..

old board of auditors was re elected bv
acclamation without a dissenting voice

The Unburied Dead.

The New York Herald of the 10th
instant says: One of the most singular
and pathetic results of the late biz
card was the embargo it placed on
funeral professions. In great city
like this more than a hundred persons
die every day. This seems large
number, and so indeed it is--a good
deal larger than it would be if better
sanitary conditions were maintained
We must take things as they are,
though, not as we would like to have
them, and 80 the fact remains that be-
fore the storm subsidized nearly or quite
six hundred bodies lay unburied. The
picture which this suggests may safely
be left to the Imagination. Hundreds
of households were made doubiy des-
olate by the bowling OF the winds aud
the apparently merciless and ruthless
despotism of the elements. But even
this is nothing to the sharp anguish of
the family, one Of whom was stricken
by a dangerous disease, when no help
could br obtained. The doctor could
not be reached, or if reached he could
not come to the rescue. The sufferer
was left, by what appeared to be n
cruel circumstance, to the chances of
the hour. This was perhaps, where
the blow fell heaviest. To be anxious
to do all things, and To be tied hand
and foot until it was impossible to do
anything-well, no one knows tile
hardship of such an experience except
those who have gone through it, and
they will probably not forget it. We
may proftably remind ourselves of
these facts to-day when we see c,res
of professions moving toward the
cemeteries.

The Supreme Court OF the United

or forbid the sale of commodity after
1t has been brought into State does
not carry with it the right and power
to prevent its introduction by trans

been furnished with certificate pro-
vided for by the statute. The decision
