The storm played havoc with the
train running north of the city. The
gale which the wind blew drifted the
snow in heaps that it made it impas-
sable in cuts. Though there was en-
harrassment in the moving Of trains
on both the northern branch of the D.
Il II. and the o. W., the most trouble
was on the latter road. A train of
so coal cars which left here in the early
afternoon got stalled in u cut this side
of Orson, The three engines which
pulled the train over the mountain
could not bulge the heavy load. A
train was dispatched to assist the
poWerless trio. but it was about three
hours before the train was moved. The
consequence of the tie-up was that the
passenger tran from the north was
held at Orsen until the coal train was
released. AT q late hour the train
had not arrived in this city.

Fathers on Sunday, February 16.

revival mission, under the direction
of the Order of Redemptorists, will be
opened in st. Rose church on Sunday
February is, and will continue for four
weeks.
The purpose of the mission, as the
title indicates is to renew the promises
and the spirit of the mission which was
conducted in st. Rose church last April
and which was blessed with splendid
results. This period of devotion of four
weeks will be a means of encouraging
those who made the last mission and
who may be faltering in the rightful
steps which they took at that time. To
those who have persevered since the
mission, it will be the means of in
creasing their fervor.

LONDON'S INTENSITY.
Forty Thousand Weddings a Year

The mmensity of London can only
be understood when we come to deal
with the many sides of the people ~
lives. Every year about 10000 babies
are born in London, some 5000 of
whom are not wanted and are mott
welcomed. There are alwoys more
boys born than girls.
More than 400 out of every 1000 never

cofiins being used every year to bury
their remains. More than 10000 people.
die every year in London workhousesI
and inlirmaries; but, in spite of theI
fact that about 50 900 Londoners go toI
their last account, there are $4,000 moreI
persons alive in London each NeWi
Years Day than there were on theI
previous occasion.
There are more than 40 600 WEDDINGS
each tWelvemonth, 10000 of which are
celebrated in the churches of the es-4
tablshment. Strange as it may seem
seeing that we have had compulsory
education now for over thirty years
there are every year more than 2000I
persons married in London who CAM
neither read nor write.
1t is a common mistake to supposef
that everybody who can comes toI
London, and that its population is In
creased almost entirely by this pro-
cess. AS a matter OF fact, close upon
10000 Londoners leave the metropolis 4
every year for the country or for places
abroad.

GROUND HOG WITH us.


Hibernate Longer--snow Enough
to Smother County of Ground
hogs.
For the first time in several years
the grounding yesterday remained on
the outside of his quarters on the Sec
ond of February. There was no sun
yesterday to cast his shadow, but the
chances are that Mr.. Grounding re-
treated to his quarters on general prin-
ciplee, for il he didn't he must have
been showed under for 1t was one of
the worst days of the winter
The man who has Il hankering for
variety got it yesterday to safety. In
the early morning it rained, at noon it
showed, in the afternoon it showed, in
the evening it showed, last night it
showed and it would not be surpris
ing If it is showing yet.
When the snow made it's appearance,
flakes came in punches, then it crowds
and in IL short time the flakes looked
like snow balls, then paper sacks and
finally pillow shams. Everything was
snow, the trees, the telegraph poles,
everything BY evening the soldier
in the park looked like big snow
man and the roads, in the language of
'Dorie' Burdick Cooked not unlike
an unbeaten trail in the Klondike."
How much snow fell nobody knows;
there's no weather man on eight story
buildings here; but there was plenty,
thank you, and some to spare.
If it is the tail end of that western
blizzard that swung around this way,
it was Il mighty long tail, for it
"Swacked" us for the first time a few
days ago, and yesterday evening it was
still "swacking" and with more force
than ut any time. Perhaps it was in it's
death throe; if so good luck to it and
Lord speed it to Scranton or some
other small town. 1t was a wild blow,
the widest blow of the winter winds
and no one who could avoid their keen
blasts dared to venture out. 1t was
wind that blew the snow to beat the
cars, and in the words of "Chuck"
Connors, it stalled them properly be-
fore nightfall.
The storm. however, offered some
compensation, be it great or small and
to a few. This was the picturesque
sight of the snoW-covered trees and
shrubs that held the attention and
admiration Of those indoors.

BLESSING OF THRoATs.
Ceremony in Observance of St.
Blasius Feast in st. Rose Church
Today,

Today.
Today in the Catholic church is the
Feast of st. Blasius, the saint who is
invoked against the diseases of the
throat. Following the custom of the
church, the throats of the members of
the congregation of st. Rose will be
blessed at IL o'clock this morning and
at o'clock this afternoon. This cere-
mony is followed by holding under the
throat of each person two lighted
candles that We're blessed yesterday,
and asking the intercession of st.
Blasius. 1t is Il pious belief among
Catholics that those whose throats are
so blessed will be immune from throat
troubles, provided they have the right
disposition and strong faith in the
power of st. Blasus to help them.

Some time ago a post Office appointment
was made at Leesburg, Mich, and later
bond and appointment papers were sent.
Information was received by the superin-
tendent, through reliable sources, that the
papers had not reached the party to whom
they were sent, and it was suggested that
the acting postmaster at the place had
withheld them. Acting on this information
papers, duplicated and made out here in
structed inspectors In that district to watch
the package into the office in question The
result of this action was that the assistant
postmaster there was arrested yesterday
for OBTAINING and opening letters Mason
Z. Adams was acting postmaster and is
held in 81 coo bond.
j. B. Latimer and c. o. Ballou have been
arrested at Boise City, Idaho for violating
