THE BEAUTIFUL
Trying to Crawl Out Of the Heaps of Snow
That Fell Yesterday

Trying to Crawl Out Of the Heaps of Snow
That Fell Yesterday.
The downfall of snow accompany
ing yesterdays blizzard was un-
doubleday the greatest that has Wis
tied this section in years. As an old
resident truly remarked this morn
ing that it was the heaviest snow
storm we have had since 1864. when
q depth of go feet in some places was
reached along Second avenue. The
railroads and street car companies
are the most affected, and as a re-
suit the traveliI g public is incon-
venienced. Although the street car
company battled bravery with the
blizzard all day yesterday, very lit
tie was accomplished. the entire sys-
TEN being virtually tied up. Gangs
of men were at work along its lines
all night. and by day break had fur
nished the only means Of travel to
pedestrians. At 10 O'Clock cars
were running at intervals on the red
line. The blue line is now being
cleared, and by night the public will
be served as usual. The bridge line
will be opened up as soon as possible.
The Railroads.
Railroad traffic was considerably
interfered with, especially on the c.,
N. & st. p. and C., B. & O., the prin-
cipal cause of the latter's trouble be-
ing due t. the recent lowering of the
track in Moline, forming a receptacle
into which the snow piled and COM
pletely blocked everything. AS a
result, an incoming freight train
jumped the track up there about &
o'clock last night, and prevented any
trains passing until 3 o'c ock this
morning. The %" sent all of it's
trains out iris morning. several
hours late. and will have everything
in good shape by tonight.
The fast mail on the Rock Island
was only a half hour late this morn
ing, two engines being attached. All
freight and passenger trains are
moving. Western trains are arriv-
ing a few hours late.
All trains on the Z. l. & P. are
running, although experiencing
some delay. The Peoria passenger
did not leave this morning until
about 10 O'Clock. Trains on the
branch are all moving.
Conductor Fuller's train, on the
Milwaukee, did not get in until after
noon today, and freight trains be-
tween Rock Island and Savanna have
been abandoned for the day.
Mayor Medill had forces out clear
ing the sidewalks and cross streets
this morning, and Monday morning
the banks of snow on Second avenue
will be tackled and removed.
