Worst of. the Season.

The story of the great snow storm OF the
last twenty-four hours throughout New En-
land and the eastern part OF this country is
told in another column. Montpelier and
the surrounding country has been directly
in the track OF the storm, and its effects are
wide spread.
The snow fell heavily all day Monday and
a stiff northwest wind Monday night raked
and cooked it in huge drifts. Railroad traffic
was very much impeded. The Montpelier
and Wells River road was badly drifted in
sections. The mail train due at 3: 90 Mon
day evening arrived TWO hours late, and
the train crew reported veritable blizzard
raging over the summit. The mail train
from the south over the Central Vermont
arrived two hours late, and the express
train due here shortly after six o'clock, was
discontinued at Concord, N Ii. The night
train, north bound, was unable to get
through, and up to one o'clock this af-
ternoon no trains from the south had put in
an appearance. The night express, south
bound, was stalled in the cut just west of
Mddlesex, where It remained all night,
reaching Montpelier with the mail train at
ten o'clock this morning, On both roads
the snow plows were kept moving, and
every effort was made to keep the lines
open, but the snow drifted into the cut as
fast as it was plowed out.
The electric railroad track inside the city
limits is buried under several feet of snow
in places, and no cars have put in an ap-
pearance to-day.
The hill roads leading to Montpelier are
impossible, and some OF them will not be
open for travel for several days. Mail car
riers and stage drivers who have reached
Montpelier to-day report drifts from twelve
| to fifteen feet deep, twenty rods or more in
length, compelling them to take to the
fields, In order to reach their destination.
The business streets OF the city presented
novel, and in some respects beautiful APP
pearance at an early hour this morning
Sidewalks and doorways ON Main and State
streets were piled high with huge drifts.
| The milkmen who were able to reach the
city found their task OF breaking roads very
heavy, and the postmen came in for their
share OF commi GRAFTON. Long before day
! light Street Commissioner Roberts had a
| large force of men and horses at work with
shovels and snow plows, and the snow roll
Ter was started at daylight. Before noon
the embargo was raised inside the city lin
its, but stories of "the greatest storm OF the
season" is expected from out of town cor.
respondents for many days to come.

City Council.

Only small amount OF business was
transacted at the regular meeting of the

might become familiar with them.
An amendment to the city ordinances was
also passed which prohibits any person or
corporation leaving any car standing idle
on any street or high way in the city. The
committee appointed to investigate the case
of George Hayward, who had been report
ed to be in needy condition, stated that
they had found that such was the case and
had turned the case over to the overseer OF
the poor. e. K. Ormsbee, who was refused
a license at the last meeting to keep a res
tauIant, was present and asked that he be
given trial. He said he had spent con-
siderable time and money in repairing the
place and had tried TO conduct 1t in a res.
pectable manner. He said he should con-
tinue to do so In the future. He was aware
that the place had reputation previous to
his entering it that was not to be envied
but did not think that should be brought
up against him. The council voted to grant
licenses to o. @. Clogston and Il. f. Orms-
| bee for three months.

4 letter was received last night
by General Manager Jos. Celaya
Of the Rio Grande railway CON-
pany from his father, Don Simon
Celaya, who recently went to New
Orleans to look for a steam lighter
for the company to replace the
Santiago, saying that he had sue
ceeded in finding a boat which
would suit the purpose. A full
description of the beat was given
and other particulars to be laid
before the board of directors in
order to obtain their authority to
purchase it for the company. A
called meeting was held this morn
ing and the letter submitted 70 the
directors, who promptly conelud-
ed to authorize Mr.. Celaya to
purchase the boat, and he was at
once notified by wire to close the
trade ct the figure named by
him.
The boat is almost new. having
been built last year. She is some
what smaller than her unlucky
predecessor, the Santiago, but is
quite large enough for this trade,
having a capacity of 200 tons and
drawing FIVE feet when loaded.
She is expected to arrive in about
20 days, to be delivered by the
company from which she was
purchased.

THE PRISONER DETECTED
Dreyfus Is Said to Have Contem-

Paris, April 15.-The Eclair
publishes this morning the report
of Governor Daniel of Cayenne of
the reception by Dreyfus of the
news of the revision Of his case.
Dreyfus, it is said, had written 10
his wife that he wished TO commit

said had nothing to say-thaf he
did not remember anything. Ee
once told a physician who was at
tending him: ''They are afraid
my family will betray4he famous
matchmaking letter; they are afraid
the kaiser will get to know of it;
but they are not afraid that my
wife will take our two children aud
throw herself at the feet of the en-
peror and ask him for justice"
Dreyfus told the governor that
he had nothing to say to the court
of cessation. On November "a
1898, he wrote the governor that
when he was tried he was tried he
asked II. Camilnir-Perrier, then
president of the French republic
for a public trial which NJ.
Casimir-Perrier promised him
under conditions which Dreyfus
swore to observe, but the publicity
was not granted, though why he
does not know. Dreyfus repeatedly
said that his life was in the hands
Of his wife and his lawyer.
