TRAINS IN TROUBLE.

New York, Dec 1.-THE conditions in
cident to stalled trains that are supposed
to obtain only in the far west were to
be found quite near at hand last night.
The tracks of the Long Island railroad
were piled high with snow, and many
trains were stalled for hours. Two trains
from Port Jefferson and Northport, re-
spectively, for Long Island City, We're
blocked between Westbury and Mineola,
and the passengers were compelled to
pass the night in the cars. The trains
started out at $50 yesterday afternoon
and did not get through until II o'clock
this morning. The passengers made
Themselves as comfortable as possible.
They kept the fires in the stoves burning
brightly and sent foraginS parties among
the farmers who returned with an
abundant food supply. Then the snow
bound passengers proceeded to eat, after
which some OF them gathered around the
stoves and told stories, while others set
tied themselves in their seats and went
to sleep, The eestbound train from Long
Island had no better luck. The trains
bound from Long Island City to WAIVER
ley and Floral Park respectively, and
one bound west from Greenport did not
get through until IL o'clock today. The
passengers passed the night in the same
manner as those stalled on the west
bound trains.

THE RECORDS FOUND INTACT

Galveston, Tex, Dec. 17.-The Calves
ton county court house was completely
Quilted by fire last night. The fire was
discovered shortly before midnight. Only
the walls of the edifice are standing to-
day. The fire started In the real hall of
the third floor, near the office of the clerk
of the criminal district court and is sup
posed to have been caused by an electric
and telephone wire becoming crossed.
The records of the tax collectors and the
sheriff office were saved. 1t is believed
that the more important records Of the
county clerks and district clerks office
will be found intact as they are kept in
a steel fire-proof vault: The loss on the
court house is estimated at $4,000; in
surance $50, 900.
When the ruins had cooled sufficiently
to allow it men We're set to work to I'M
earth the vault in which the records were
kept. The vault was soon reached and
an examina ton of it's contents showed
that all the records of the county clerk S
and district clerks Offices, dating back
over half a century were intact. The
latter are somewhat damaged by water,
but not to any serious extent. Efforts
are now being made to secure permission
from the general government for the use
of the old postoflce and federal court
building temporarily for the holding of
the state and county courts. Legal bus
mess of every description is suspended
and will continue so until the new quar-
ters are obtained and records are again
in shape when it will be resumed.

1.-THE crop of new oats instead of being one of
the largest on record will probably be about an
average as to quantity and inferior in quality to
anything we have had to handle in recent years.
The entire oat belt has been deluged with rain in
the last ten days, with the result that oats are
fearfully damaged
The weight of new oats is from Is to rs
pounds per bushel, while old oats weigh
from "a to A pounds per bushel. There
has been rise of five cents in the price

OLD FORT DUMMER.

O1lD II OINA ~
WAmong all the chapters of early local
history which have been printed in The
Phoenix from time to time, probably no
single one was so important and valuable
as that giving an account of Fort Dummer,
accompanied by map of the fort copied
from drawing which had then November,
1871 just been discovered among the New
Hampshire historical archives. Every
available copy of The Phoenix containing
that article was sold at the time of publ
cation or soon after, and the only copy
remaining outside the Office files has since
been loaned repeatedly to people wishing
to examine it for historical purposes.
The site of the old fort having been
chosen as the place of this years
meeting of the Pocumtuck Valley Memo
rial association, and the date of the meet
ing being now only a week distant, this
seemed peculiarly appropriate time to re
publish this historical contribution, and it.
is, therefore, given complete on another
page of this paper Ii will be read with
fresh interest and preserved carefully by
many people.

AN "UNCLA1MED ESTATE. "

The Boston journal of last Friday con-
tanned an article in regard to a large Eng
lish estate which is on deposit in the
Bank of England, the heirs of which who
have interested themselves in the case are
l.. p. Bailey of Putney and w. A. Bailey
of North Lancaster. 1t appears according
to the Journals account that Horatio
Hyde, a wealthy Scotchman, who lived
many years ago, at his death left on de-
post in the Bank of England large sum
of money which was to remain intact for a
period of 100 years, after which each of
the descendants of the family should be en-
titled to a proportionate share of the prin-
cipal and interest. 1t is said that the en-
tire estate now amounts to something like
S36, 900, 900, of which one-half goes to tht
Hyde heirs. 1t is claimed that there are
II direct heirs and lineal descendants on
the Bailey side who are entitled to the es-
tate, some CT whom are residents of Brat
tleboro. The Bailey heirs have received
word from the Hyde branch of the family
to the effect that they received their share
of the deposit two or three years ago, and
it is the knowledge of this fact that has
set the Bailey family at work to try to Sc
cure their share of it. This story has &
familiar sound. Before investing any
money in the case it will be well to make
very sure that it is not one of the number
less unclaimed estates schemes indus
triously worked up by London claim agent:
for the benefit of over-credulous Ameri
cans
