Was Great.

Buzzard's Bay, NJ ass, December a.
The terrific snow storm which ragged fu-
riously in this part of the state-Tuesday

nearly as much damage as the great gale
which preceded it. The train for Hyan-
mis- which left here at S.11 Wednesday
night and which was stalled at Bourne
some time, passed through Sandwich
about midnight and probably reached
it's destination at this morning. The
Boston freight which passed through
here early this morning was struck and
finally derailed about 900 yards above
Bourne station, preventing the trains
from the Cape, which were running near
ly on. scheduled time, from getting past
this point. No wrecks have been report

great damage has heen done to the 1nnu-
