The snow blockade Oh the through
line of the Northern Pacific was
raised Tues,l ~. the first mail arriv-
ing FROM St. Paul since Thanksgiv-
ing-a period of five days. At no
time was there much del.y of trains
from the west, the principal difficulty
being between Sims anal Mani VI and
on the Dakota division. 1t was re-
ported at Sims that u stretch of track
several miles long was buried in
snow to depth varying from three
to twenty feet The w1rk of clear
ing these drifts was veiy slow and
difficult. The Missouri division hal
none of the rotary plows and the
snow had to he shoveled and bucked
out in the old way; nevertheless this
division was ops,ed before the Da-
kota division, where two rotary plows
were operated. At one time four
passenger trains were stalled between
Glen Ullin and Mandan, one or two
of which were turned back and run
west as No. Is. It is said that James
town and Fargo during the storm Of
Nov. % the N. r. engines could not
be moved from the round-houses. No
such difficulty WAS experienced at
Dickinson. Trains were kept moving
about the yards and people moving
about the streets-tO some extent.

Republtcan Meeting.

The first Republican rally of the cam
paign was held in Red Mems Hall, Sat
urday evening, unde -1e auspices of the
Young Mems Republican Club, of Allan
tic City. The members iu two marching
companies, numbering about fifty came
over in a special train, accompanied by
the Ringgold Band, and marched up and
down the Shore Road before going to
the Hall. The companies marched well,
aud looked very handsome in their neat
and snowy uniforms. Seats were re-
served for them in the front part of the
Hall, and the band played from the seats
directly in front OF the stage. The
audience did not quite fill the Hall, and
many people did not attend on account
of the threatening weather. The meet
ing was called to order by Lewis
H. Barrett who was elected permanent
chairman for the evening.
The first speaker was Emery Irelan,
City Clerk, of Atlantic City, and the
second Walter Edge. of the Atlantic
Daily Press, both of whom spoke briefly
in earnest advocacy of Republican prin-
cipsls.
The main speech of the evening was
made by Congressman John j. Gardiner,
the policy the Democratic party as rep
resented by Mr.. Bryan. He believed the
Wilson bill to be the cause of the present
industrial depression and not the need of
more money. Four years as o the people
thought they wanted a change. They
have had it. The mills are closed, busi-
ness depres sed, aud men out of employ
ment everywhere. When the Wilson bill
passed the House OF representatives, Mr..
Bryan thought it was what was needed
to set the country all right, and was
formost in taking part in the great ova-
tion then paid to the author of the bill.
Now, this same Mr.. Bryan thinks that
free silver is the national panacea, but if
all the mints in the country were kept
going for dozen years the amount
coined would not equal the loss OF wages
for single month. 1t is not more
money the country needs but an active
circulation of the money we already
have. 1t is q law of finance that the
dearer metal drives the cheaper out of
circulation and that has been the ex-
perience of the world for hundreds of
years. Our free silver friends affect to
believe that the United States can ego
it alone" in defiance of the rest of the
world, but one effect of going to silver
basis would be to drive the present
supply of gold out of circulation and
thus to still further contract the currency
At the conclusion of Mr.. Gardner's
speech Samuel Kirby, the Republican
candidate for Sheriff, was introduced
and made few brief remarks thanking
the party for his nomination. After
which the meeting broke up, the clubs
formed in line and, led by the band,
marched to the Reading depot and took
the train for home. The Atlantic boys,
by whom the whole affair was planned
and executed, expressed themselves as
much pleased with their visit.

THE GREAT STORM.
High Tide in the BAY and the Rail
Roads washed Out.

The great storm that has swept the
Atlantic Coast from Florida to Name
causing great destruction in it's course,
reached here Sunday. 1t commenced
raining in the forenoon with the WIND
from the northeast, which steadily IN
creased in violence until it reached
velocity OF fifty or sixty miles an hour
during the night. The tide in the bay
rose rapidly and to great height. Mon
day morning it became apparent that
much damage was likely to be done
to the railroads. No trains went out
over the Camden and Atlantic K. r.
and quite long section of the road
was washed away. The Newfidd ac-
commodation train on the West Jersey
road due here at 1885 a. m. ran down
as far as the tower on the meadows,
and finding the road submerged to
considerable depth, came back to Pleas
antyille and returned to Newfield at
2.35 p. m. The passengers, finGng all
communicate with Atlantic City cut
off, returned to Philadelphia or to the
intermediate stations. The Reading
road was also submerged and washed
out and all trains stopped running after
10 clock, a. m.
The afternoon trains were also "hung
up" when they reached here. The Read.
ing express, due here at 500, p. M, find
ing an open sea on the meadows, and
not being equipped for navigation, re-
turned to Camden at 5.38 p. m. The
West Jersey accommodation laid over
here all night, and SO did the Reading.
A number OF the passengers remained
in the cars all night, and others went
to Scull's cottage, Somers' Point and
elsewhere.
The "washouts' in the roaGbeds are
the worst that have been seen for sever
al years. Deep cuts hundred feet long,
and several feet deep, were discovered
through which the water poured like
a river washing out the bed and leav-
ing the track without support.
Along the Bay Shore the boats pitched
and tossed wildly but we do not hear
OF any very serious damage being done.
The tide rose higher than at any time
since the great storm of 1883, and aside
from here and there an oyster house
sticking its roof out OF water the Bay
and meadows looked like an olen sea.

About three summers ago, it will be
remembered, young man named
karrer, met with a terrible death by
being instantly killed by tightening while
in bathing down town. At the time he
and two young lady friends were dis
porting in the water hand and hand.
The two women felt the shock, but ap-
peared not to have been injured. Yes
terday the accident was brought up in a
down town store. One of the party
remarked that since Karr's death one of
the young women had also died and
that the other one was in Philadelphia

that fatal bolt is attributed as the cause
of the lady's death and the others

The hurricane that swept the Coast

The car tracks were covered with water

over the beach front and the water ran
far up some of the avenues leading down
to the high water mark. The japanese
Tea Gardens were inundated. and the
whole northeast section of the city
pretty well under water. No damage of
consequence was done to the new Board
walk, and it proved itself able to with
stand tremendous storm and sea.
Communication with the main land was
out of the question and many citizens
were unable to reach home until Tues
day afternoon,
