READING TRAM LOST
Nothing Heard Of the 1889 O'clock Train
Ip to , 0'clOck Today

The Philadelphia and Reading rail-
road train which is due in
this city at 1850 o'clock was lost to
the officials i'm this city for several
hours this morning. Nothing had been
heard OF the train since IL left Birds
boro. and at . o'clock il was thought
that il had encountered a snow drift
in one of the many cuts on the road,
and could not get through. The train
came i'm four hours late last night, af-
ter a hard fight to get through the
drifts.
1t was said that several cars also
jumped the track somewhere between
this city and Coatesvihe, but as tho
agent was not at his office this morn
ing this could not he verified.
The train had not arrived at 2 o'clock
and as the company has but a few
miles of telegraph service it has no
way of finding out what has caused
the delay.

Railroads Tied Up.

Altoona, Pa, March 6.-The worst
snow storm in years holds Altoona
and the surrounding country in its
grasp. Two feet of snow has fallen.
The main line of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company is practically tied
up. with scarcely a wheel turning.
The strike of the trackmen in the AL
toona yard is keenly felt, as the prin-
cipal difficulty lies in keeping the
switches open, and the strikers were
nearly all expert switch tenders. The
trolley cars were forced to quit run
ming at noon. Business houses were
deserted and no one was about who
could possibly remain indoors.
