SNOW STOPS TRAINS SHORT.
TRAFFIC. EVERYWHERE IMPEnED
IN THE NORTHWEST.

Two snow PIOws Work For Two
Days to Reach "a Train Only Five
Miles Away-A Train That should
Have Reached Minneapolis Thurs
day Stin stuck I'm a Drift Near Bis
mnrck.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 3O.-Reports of
damage done by the late storm, which
are beginning to come In, show that the
damage is greater than at first supposed.
The railroads are still badly handicapped,
but hope to be running by Wednesday.
The body of Thomas Anderson, who per-
ished in the storm near Moorehead, was
found this morning near the home Of the
young lady whom he had escorted home
through the blizzard.
The thermometer registered below
zero in this city at midnight.
With two rotary plows working out OF
Fargo on the Northern Pacific since Sat-
urday morning, train showed in five
miles east of Valley City, was reached at
10 o'clock this morning. Only half mile
was cleaned yesterday by the rotaries.
The drifts in the cuts are six to fourteen
feet deep, and are frozen like ice mixed
with sand. Dynamite Is used to loosen up
this snow. The Southwestern branch to
Lisbon and Edgely is stll frozen up and
people in the towns along the line are out
of wood and coal and there seems no pros
pect of opening the roads for three or four
days Small towns along the main line
of the Northern Pacific are out of fuel.
The Northern Pacific is still blockaded
near Bismarck. It's coast train, which
should have reached Minneapolis on
Thursday is stuck in a snow drift at New
Salem, forty miles west Of Bismarck, and
cannot move until a snow plow clears the
track.
In some deep cuts snow is drifted on the
track to a depth of fifty feet. A coal
famine prevails there, and there will be
much suffering unless relief is offered at
once.
r Engineer Winney's engine ran down to
the tank at Stephen, MINI, for water and
fuel Thursday night, with their cars only
thousand feet away. The storm filled
the track behind them and engineers and
fireman were compelled to stay at the
tank No one dared to trust himself in
the weather and during the entire nignt
the two worked to keep the engine alive
and shoveled snow in the hope of getting
back to the train. AT the end of four
teen hours they succeeded in getting back
over the 1000 feet. They were hungry,
tired and frost bitten.
Traffic west of Barnesville, MINI, has
been completely stopped for two days. An
engine and snow pillow left there sun
day to open the line to Grand Forks. A
large number of freight and passenger
trains are stalled there,
alexandria, Mimi, Nov. 30.--A genuine
blizzard has been raging here all day. No
mails have been received from the west
for twenty-four hours.

PISTOLS BEGIN TO POP.
The Battle of the Crack Revolver
Shots Begun at New York.

Shots Begun at New York
New York, Nov. 3O.-The battle of crack
revolver shots. instituted under the aus
pices of the Knickerbocker Athletic Club,
began this morning at the clubs range,
and proved to be quite an attraction.
Pistol experts and their friends from
all parts of the country were there. The
tournament will last a week and the
championship of the United States is to
be decided.
The rewards of the men who make good
records, but are beaten for the coveted
championship, will be the silver loving
cup, offered by the club. There are many
crack shots among the contestants, and
some records, it is believed, will be
broken. Among these crack shots are
Lieut.. Sumner Paine and John B. Payne
of Boston. Lieut.. Paine easily excelled
in shooting at moving object in the Olym-
plan games at Athens last April, and John
B. Payne beat all comers in the station
airy target contests. Philadelphia has
entered Barton Willing, brother of Mrs.
John Jacob Astor. and a very expert
handler of the pistol.

A KANSAS CITY BANK CLOSED.
Its Reserve Depleted ana Its Assets
show Depreciation.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. S0,--The Mis-
souri, National Bank one of the largest
banking institutions in this city, passed
into the hands OF the controller Of the
currency this morning, and is directly in
charge of oil. A. Forman, national bank
examiner. The failure is due to the money
on hand running below the reserve requir-
ed under the banking laws, and paper
among the assets being given much low
er value by Examiner Forman than by the
bank officials Mr.. Forman is reticent re-
gardiug the exact condition of the bank,
and the officers of the institution say they
have left everything to him. They assert,
however with apparent confidence that
they will pay depositors in full, and no
matter what occurs, there will be a fair
percentage left for the stockholders. The
failure created surprise, as the bank was
generally understood to be in sound con-
dition. It's last statement was made Oct.
6, and showed its resources at the close of
business that day to be $l15,5S7. It's cap
ital was S250000 Examiner Forman says
the condition of the bank Is practically
the same to-day as on Oct. 9. The only
difference is the value of some of the as
sets. The bank opened for business Jan
2, 1891. with thirty-eight depositors, and
now has 2.6S5 depositors. During the panic
in July 1898, It was compelled to suspend,
but remained closed only about ten days
No trouble is anticipated at any OF the
other Kansas City banks

INDIANAPOLIS CONFERENCE.
The Monetary Convention to Repre-
sent Fifteen Western Cities.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 3O.-Already
many delegates have arrived to attend
the monetary conference which opens to-
morrow morning.
The conference Is called to discuss the
currency question and to decide upon the
advisability of calling a monetary con-
ference for the purpose of preparing a
memorial to congress suggesting such
changes in the existing currency laws as
will forever keep the question out of poll
tics and ensure permanency in financial
methods.
The cities to be represented are Cincin-
natl, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, De-
h'oit, Des Moines, Grand Rapids. Milwau-
kee, Minneapolis, st. Paul, Omaha, Peo-
ria, St. Louis, Toledo, Louisville and In
dianapolis.

vor the idea of combining the tariff and
financial policies-and adopting a plan
that will put both beyond the possibility
of immediate changes.

tor Found Wounded.

Charleston, S. c., Nov. SO.-Early this
morning, fruit store belonging to Charles
Perkins was discovered to be on fire. The
firemen found Perkins himself inside the
place with five wounds In his head, and in
an unconscious condition. The shop was

the day, and said that two men entered his
shop while he was asleep, and one Of them
shot him with buckshot and then robbed
him. No shot was heard by the neigh
bors, and the money had not been touched
in the cash drawer. The physicians have
found no bullets nor buckshot IN Perkins
head. The case Is surrounded In mystery.
and many people believe that a roman

of which were In the shop. must have gone
off, hitting Perkins in the head and set
ting the place on fire.

FLAG OF TRUCE AT HAMBURG.
The Masters and Men to Try TO Conn
promise Their Differences.

Hamburg, Nov 3O.-There is some reason
to believe that the trouble here will short
ly be settled. Though both sides to the
dispute have expressed themselves as con-
fident OF victory, It has been certain that
there would be no amicable adjustment Of
the questions in dispute unless concessions
were made by both masters and men. This
was seen by both sides and efforts to bring
about a conference resulted to-day in the
appointment Of a committee of four ship
owners and four workmen to decide upon
terms for a settlement of the strike. The
committee met to-day and 1t is said that
the outlook for the ending of the trouble
Is hopeful. both sides being willing to re-
cede in some degree from the extreme
stands they have heretofore maintained.
