AT JAMESTOWN.
Special to the Globe.
JAMESTOWN, Dak., Jan. 13.-The
worst storm since 1879 began yesterday
morning and has continued with but lit
tie abatement. There have been neither
mails nor trains for two days. The
thermometer is 25 deg. below, and
large amount of snow has fallen. The
storm is general in this vicinity, and
nearly succeeded in bNckading the
whole OF the Dakota division. Not
wheel turned between Fargo and Bis
lnarck last night. The wind redrifted
the snow into larger piles and the cold
formed thick crust which taxes the
snow plows to their fullest. Yester-
days Pacific express laid all night in
snow-bank at Wheatland, and arrived
here forty hours late. The Northern
Pacific main line trains are all delayed
and branches blockaded. Farmers in
the country are we'll prepared for such
an emergency, and little suffering is an
ticipated. The train on the Chicago IL
Northwestern at OakeS was abandoned.
The train that attempted to open the
jamestown u Northern is fast in the
snow, and five engines are between
here and Darlington. The conductor
and trainmen walked back last night.
The weather at present is mOderating
some and the storm abating.
AT BISMARCK.
BISMARCK. Oak. Jan. 13.-The stage
left Washburn yesterday morning for
this city and should have arrived here
last night-the place being fifty miles
northwest of here-but nothing has
been heard of it yet, and it is supposed
to have been lost in the blizzard. The
stage left for Winona this morning, and
great fears are entertained for its safe
arrival. The great blizzard has evil
IDENTIFY spent its fury here. The
wind last night blew forty miles
an an hour and the mercury was was
this morning. 1t is thought the worst
of the storm is over. Farmers in town
dare not venture home. Section gangs
are working at the snow drifts on the
Northern Pacific, but the SNOW is
packed so hard that the plow will not
go through, and the snow must be cut
and shoveled away. 1t is thought that
| many tales o. hardship and suffering
will come to light when the snow is
over. One of the pioneers of Dakota
said: II have been here great number
OF years, and | have seen many furious
storms, but this one eclipSeS any of
fore next week. The city schools will
be closed for several days.

! Special to the Globe.
| ABERDEEN, OAK, Jan. 13.-Yester-
days fearful storm subsidized at day
break this morning. Thus far no loss
of life in this immediate vicinity has
been reported. Many business men last
night took rooms at hotels, preferring
not to venture to their homes. Children
from schools were taken to houses in
| the neighborhood of the public schools
/ and kept over night. AS the storm arose
very suddenly and as the morning was
warm, it is feared some may have ven
tured out and been caught in it. The

supplied with coal.

fore. No passenger train has come in
