IN MINNEAPOLIS.
The Storm One of the Worst That
Has Occurred in Ten Years.

Has Occurred in Ten Years.
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov %. = Yester-
days storm, conceded to be one of the
worst that has visited this section of
the country for probably ten years,
reached it's elimination this morning.
Early in the afternoon the wind grad
ually died down, the snow ceased to
fall and occasionally the sun man
aged to gain a foothold, so to speak,
and for brief periods gazed out from
behind the sullen banks of clouds upon
the weary pedestrians whom business
forced to take to the road" By sun
down the storm had entirely passed
off, and the indications for tomorrow
are for a lasting return to the sunny
skies for which Minnesota is noted.
Freight traffic was resumed on all
roads this evening and by this time all
trains are again very nearly on time.
The Milwaukee reports very little snow
on it's Hastings and Dakota division
west of Glencoe, and on the river divi-
sion no trouble was experienced south
of Red Wing, and with the exception of
the Omaha division of the Chicago,
St Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha, and
the Minnesota division Of the 500, no
serious delays have been reported
The blizzard wrought havoc with the
mails of Minneapolis. Nearly all the
to nine hours, while the Wisconsin
Central mail, which should have come
In at $50 in the morning, had not ar
rived at 4 o'clock. The mail on the
st. Louis was nine hours late, and the
Omaha mail from Council Bluffs, due
at s o'clock, was not in at T. The over
land mails on the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern were each three hours
late, as was the mail from Duluth. The
Dakota mail on the Milwaukee was six
hours behind. and both the east and
west mails on the 500 were three hours
late. The Breckenridge division mail
of the Great Northern was three hours
late.
At O'Clock the street railway people
had managed to get most of their lines
in working order. The Como interur-
ban and the Harriet cars are running
as far west as Thirty-firs street The
Fourth avenue short and the First av-
enue short cars are in service The
Bloomington avenue short started at
o'clock. None OF the East side lines
ere running, and none of the North
side. The company did not let up on
work at night, but kept right on with
all the men that could be secured. 1t
was hoped, with the subSiding Of the
wind, that the work of opening the
North and East side lines could be
finished so it would stay Most of the
work done through the day had
TO be done over again for the
reason that the wind would drift the
snow back on the tracks as fast as il
was shoveled off. AS soon as the snow
can be cleared away and packed down
out Of the reach Of the wind there will
be no further trouble in keeping the
cars running. By morning it is thought
that all the cars will be running and
making fairly satisfactory connections.
The high wind and the lightness Of
the snow have formed a combination
hard to beat.

ton The total mileage operated by the COM
pany aggregated $3.50, but Of this operated
mileage 223H miles were not covered oy any
mail contract. The earnings were therefore
made on 3,567h miles, and averaged exactly
$110 per mile of route.
To make these earnings the company haul
cd nine railway postoflce cars an aggre gate
distance of 49, 796 miles and twenty-five COM
par.ment postal cars an aggregate distance
of 2077, $50 miles. In the compartment cars
the postal compartment occupied practically
one-half the interior space so that the postal
mileage made by them eQualed 1,03SS.5 miles
OF entire postal cars. The total postal car
mileage made on the Great Northern railway
mail routes during the year therefore equaied
1,S526u miles of entire postal cars.
The free transportation furnished govern
ment employees in the postal service was
equal to az least 3,5010c0 passengers miles,
would amount to $40, 600.
In addition to the postal car service, mall
in pouches, and unattended by United States
employees, was carried in trains Of the COM
pany for the aggregate distance of S8I ,63S
miles. Besides the service on It's trains the
company carried the mails between stations
and postofices at 225 points. Leaving out Of
view the value of the pouch service, OF the
transportation of postal employees, and OF The
service between stations and postoffces and
applying the whole compensation received by
the company to the service, in entire cars
and equipments, the pay received was at the
rate OF q 2-10 cents per mile run o. an entiro
postal car.
FIGURES FOR 1898.
For the year 1898 the company got $.03,-
625.16. The total mileage operated by the
company this year aggregated 1924, of which
1864 miles were mail routes. OF this mail
route mileage 592 40 had been added by gov
eminent land grant. The remainder of the
lines had been built without government sub
sides in any form. The earnings per mile of
mail route In 1898 were almost exactly $40
per mile of route. To make these earnings
the company hauled nine postoffce cars IN
aggregate distance of LIP 6S miles. and
twenty-nine compartment postal cars an ag-
gregate distance of $40 miles. or the
compartment cars twenty-five are those used
on the routes in 1897; seven new ones had
practically twO-ffths of their space in the
postal compartment The postal car mileage
made by these twenty-nine compartment cars
was equivalent TO 936, SS5 miles of entire pos
tai cars. The total postal car mileage made
on the Great Northern railway mail routes
during the year therefore equaled 2.O4S, $50
miles OF entire postal cars. In addition 10

employees carried an aggregate dis q ice

The storm raised havoc with the rail-
way trains yesterday. No road was
exempt from delays caused by snow
drifts and high winds. Passenger
trains made better time, comparatively,
than freights, because they kept to
the main tracks, but the freights had
to take sfdings and frequently these
were SO blocked with snow that it was
almost impossible to switch them. The
telephones IN all the offices were kept
ringing all day by persons WHO wish
ed to learn what chance their freight
had of getting through.
Reports were submitted from all sta
tons during the day regarding the
progress of trains on the roads. Great

were nearly all delayed somewhere on

was the practical advice offered by
Vice President w. p. Clough, Of the
Great Northern, to the joint congress
eional committee, which is trying to
find a way to make up the postal rev.
enues deficiency and which held A
hearing in Chicago Monday. The COM
mittee was appointed to discover
method for reducing the pay of rail-
way companies for carrying the mails,
and Col Clough went to Chicago TO
oppose any plan of reducing the COM
pensation. His remedy, as he explain
ed to the committee. is to have the
government pay for the space occupied
by the mails in railway trains instead
Of the amount of mail measured by
weight carried by the roads, and he
showed by figures why his scheme was
the better.
Col Cough was the only ST. Paul

which was presided over by Senator

IMPORTANT TO RAILRoADERs
Successful Suit Against Order of
Railway Conductors.

Milwaukee, Wis. Feb. "a decision
of Importance to the Order of Railway
Conductors has been handed down by
Judge Seaman in the United States
court.
Mary Dixon sued the order for the
recovery of $4,000 upon a certificate is
sued to her husband, who was a men,
Der. He had joined the order in 1885
and died in 1883. after the order had
been dissolved and became a simple
association. Payment of the claim was
refused, and the suit has been in the
courts for years. From the state courts
the conductors had it removed to the
United States court. The conductors
pleaded that the dissolution of the or
ganiZatiOn had vitiated the claim, but
Judge Seaman has decided that this is
not the case, and that the action of the
order in dissolving its corporation in
1888 and becoming a simple association
did not abate the liabilities that had
accrued before the reorganization.
