Terrible Experience of Passengers on
Stalled Train.
Concord, N. H., February 1.-The
general New Hampshire verdict is that
the memorable March blizzard of 1883.
All parts of the state were visited by the
fury of the storm, and railroad traffic
and general business have been suspend
ed for "a hours. The blizzard has practl-
cally tied up this city. Street cars are
not running and the citizens who wants
to leave the shelter of his own roof, has
to dig first. Snow drifts are the biggest
seen here in years. At Dover, street
railway traffic was suspended, the schools
were closed and considerable. damage
was done by the gale. Trains were
stalled in the city during the day:
4 In the north country railroad opera
lions are entirely suspended. Freight
trains are stalled all the way from this
city to Woodsville. Portsmouth Is
smothered in snow banks. Passengers on
railroad trains had thrilling experiences
The east-bound express for Maine and
the provinces, which left the seaport city
at 10 O'Clock last night, an hour and q
halt late, came to grief not far from Con
way junction. The engine left the rails,
breaking the couplings and steam pipe
which conveyed to the heaters in the
cars The train broke into three sections.
There were 200 passengers on the train,
and they spent dismal night, keeping
from freezing by various devices. After
being stalled for 10 hours the train was
hauled back to Portsmouth.
At Nashua the drifts are from six to
80 feet in height, and at Hanover the stu
dents have been obliged to crawl through
nearly five feet of snow on the level
No serious fires have been reported
anywhere in the state.

HEROES OF TWO WARS.
Uowa CAPITAL.


When the veterans of the civil war
meet in Cincinnati next week their au-
dience will be increased by the presence
of many of the returned heroes of the
late war.
There will be handshaking and mer-
ry-making among the comrades who
"drank from the same canteenn in the
COS, but with pathetic feelings of in
terest and an understanding of war
pangs born of experience, these older
boys will welcome the new recruits
who are bidding for entrance to the
order of the G. A. r.
The thinned ranks of the veterans,
whose gray hairs and bent forms have
excited our tender sympathies in their
yearly marches on Memorial day, will
be added to by the sprightlier step of
the youth who enlisted in the war of
1898. Those serving during the trying
scenes of a four years. war, while these

They are heroes all, and the nation
proudly pays them the tribute of re-

duration of their trial of bravery.
The fresh graves that dot MANY a

the mounds that have been flower
decked for many succeeding years.

Alike the tributes to their worth.
