Lots of Fun and Races Among the Local
Horsemen and Their Horses.
The sleigh bells were ringing merrily yester-
day. 1t was great sleighing weather. and the
suburban roads were covered with flyers
and sleighs all day. Everybody participating
in the enjoyment was delighted, and there
really was more fun during the afternoon than
there was during all last winter.
There were lots of exciting races and some
real good horses were out The king of the
Road" seemed to be Thomas Archibald's s
Judge White. The Judge was in rare form,
and won four races, beating everything that
came his way The horse seemed to enjoy the
fun, and the sleigh bells were apparently Just
what he wanted to hear. He won the races
without any trouble. There was an exciting
race between ]. 3. Jones pair. jim Nc and
Billy =. and John Hamilton's sorre geding
Burkhart Tor case OF VINE. The pair won,
ami after the race Mr.. Hamilton wanted 20 go
on again for $50 side. Billy b, however
slightly injured himself, and Mr. Jones de-
clined to race him again. Everybody was en-
thuslastic.
Among the other prominent horses and drivers
was Mr. j. 7. 4. ProbiJzer with his fine and
speedy King HeirO. The King felt happy and
made the bells jingle Gaily John Rheims was
also out behind good horse that kept all
rivals stepping their hest. ]. Butler of the
Southslde. had a splendid PAGER in hand. and
J.. E. LippmcOtt with Charley A chad all the
fun and speed he desired. The racing was kept
up until dark. and long after darkness the
sleigh bells could be heard all around.
There Is every prospect of great sleighing
winter; in fact, the only complaint at present is
that there is too much snow. If a frost sets in
ana lasts few days there will undou btedly be
lots of rare scenes along the roads in and about
the city.

the latter visits this country, he will not only
secure race with Teemer. but also one with

Rescued From a Snow-Bound Train
BY Washington County Farmers.
DETAILS OF THE GREAT STORM.
Serious Damage to Property in Many Sec
tions of the Country.
ANY QUANTITY OF ROOFS COLLAPSE


BrAcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
WASHINGTON. PA, Dec. 1S.-The dam
age by the snowstorm continues to increase
in this city. The roof OF part of the Hazel
Glass Works iell in this morning and
damaged an immense stock of finished glass
ware. For some time to-day it was feared
that the 80, 000-barrel oil tanks owned by the
Western and Atlantic Pipe Line, and
located at Ewing's, would be crushed by the
snow. A large gang of men was secured
and the snow removed without any damage.
The evening train on the Waynesburg and
Washington Railroad left Waynesburg yes
terday afternoon with three engines, but
stuck fast in a snowdrift eight miles from
this city and the passengers were imprisoned
all night. This morning the passengers were
rescued. in a half famishing condition, by
the farmers OF the vicinity.
All operations in the oil field have been
discontinued, and the loss on this account
alone will be great.
