NoRTBwEs1's GREAT BLIzzARD.
All Efforts Now Directed 10 Resuming
 Business.

St. Paul, Minn, March 17.-Specials indicate that the big storm is over. Grand Forks, N. D., reports pleasant but cold weather, with big snow drifts and general suspension of all work eX- cept the shovelling of snow No ser vices in any of the churches were held there yesterday. Business is being re- sumed slowly and another day will see train running as usual.
 At Bismarck, N. D., the thermome- ter registered F below zero this morn- ing. After sixty hours of the fiercest blizzard known In this section Cor twen- ty years, the storm has abat9d and ef- forts are being made to resume busl- ness.
 What damage was done in the stock district cannot be told until communi- cation with the country districts shall be established but it is feared there will be heavy losses. For forty-eight hours the strong wind seldom regis tered less than forty miles an hour, with the thermometer below zero from one to five degrees. No JOSS of life has been reported yet about Bismarck.
 NO 1dtlllC tOdSl lIrlilo ii1NC e'iiiNCN at St Paul since last Friday. None will arrive until tomorrow morning and even then the Northern Pacific and Great Northern may be frustrated in their attempts to move blocked traf- fic.
 Prince Albert with 30 degrees below zero was the center of cold in the northwest last night but by this morn 1 ing the mercury had climbed to four below at that point
 The Burlington is the only road op- erating train service into Montana from the east. No mails have been re- | ceived at Helena via the Northern Pa l cific since Friday and none on the 1 Great Northern since Saturday. Tte blizzard was general throughout north- ern and eastern Montana.
 At Dickinson, N. D., the stock ship ping center conservative estimates places the losses at 25 to 30 per cent little more on sheep than on cattle.
 The Great Northern sent coast trains north from Fargo to Grand Forks to- day, but the main line from Grand | Forks west was reported completely tied up and no trains are running in the upper Red River valley.

RAILROAD MEN ARRESTED

(Continued from First Page)
 Captain Cowles gathered his force of detectives consisting of Detectives Don Eelly. McGrath, Ward, Daly, Dunlap, Smith. and Frey on the cases yesterday morning and assigned them to the dlt- ferent places that were under suspl- cion. Detective Donnelly was sent to Simsbury and arrested Operator Halght and the latter was brought to this city yesterday afternoon In the meantime the other six detectives were armed with search warrants and were gong through the home of Conductor Wether- bee and Brakemen Carpenter Dantorth and Emerson,
 If didn't take very long for the ofti- cers of the law to find out that there had been considerable doing in par ticular line of trade, and the truck that they gathered almost filled the detect i've headuuarters on Court street. The stuff gathered in included Winchester shotguns and rifles, Colt revolvers and pistols of different patterns, valuable clothes, boots and shoes, ammunition or all sorts, tools of various kinds and makes, tool chests, musical instru- ments, wearing apparel for men and women. and, in fact, almost anything that could have been of use to any, body.
 The detective headquarters looked last night like an arsenal and pawn shop combined, and was sorry sight. All this extensive line of goods has doubtless been taken from the freight cars of the Consolidated road during the last two years, and from what the detectives learned yesterday fully as much has been disposed of in this and other cities. At frequent intervals dur ing the last two or three years reports would come into this city and cities up the road that seals of the freight cars have been broken open and the cars en- tered, the contents footed and the doors of the cars sealed up again as well as possible in order to avoid sus- picion.
 Time and time again the railroad and the city have had men on the lookout for the thieves, but they could not lo~ cate them It was stated last night that the attention of the detectives and police was brought 10 the tnetts through the selling of some of the stol- en goods in this city, and that in this way the telegraph operator in Simsbury was caught. The men were arrested as soon as they reached New Haven yes terday afternoon and were immediate ly taken to the police headquarters They were taken to the jail, and at o'clock this morning Emerson was re- leased on bail of S1 GOO furnished by MT and Mrs. William Hitchings, of 19f Howard avenue.
 They will be brought before the city court to-day, and their cases will be watched with interest Conductor Wetherbee and Emerson, Carpenter an6 Haight are married.

 cross sea had been kicked up. Cap tain Eldredge steered the lifeboat un- der the lee of the Wadena and one atter another the five men dropped lnto the boat. With the wind astern 1t seemed comparatively easy to gain the smooth waters behind the point The seas were tossing and turning in the rips and Captain Eldredge was constantly looking for smooth spots. When apout half way in he thought he discovered d spot over what is called a hole ana the boat was sheered off for 1t. AS she did so a tremendous sea caught her under the stern and she went over, throwing all the men into the water Being used to the sea all the life say CTS clung to the boat and managed to pull the Wadena men along with them An attempt was made to right the 5oat hut although all lifeboats are supplied with cork gunWales they are very heavy and being full of water the life savers only managed to get her par tlally cleared They had some hope. however, of reaching land, until another wave again cap sized the boat. MT. Mack was the first to succumb, and one by one they dropped away until there were only four left and these climbed on the pot l tom of the overturned boat. All were fearfully exhausted. The four men drifted down in the direction of the Fitzpatrick, where Captain Mayo, or that craft, caught sight of them. With

Before ne reached the lifeboat three of them had fallen into the sea Ellis managed to hold on and caught the rope which cap tain Mayo threw to him. He was drag eed aboard and then Captain Mayo, be- | ing an expert surfman, pulled around l the point into the smooth water ana landed the only survivor of the thlf- teen who started from the bargs. Ellis was too exhausted to give any account of his experiences for two or three hours after getting ashore and tonight,
 although recovering physically from
 the terrible ordeal, his mind still re- mains perplexed.
 Two men still remain on board the
 barge Fitzpatrick, but the storm to-
 night has subsided and they are in lit tie danger Both barges may yet be
 saved The Monomoy station tonight
 was without crew, but Captain Spar
 row, the superintendent of the district,
 has already taken steps to put in new
 crew The disaster is one of the worst
 that ever happened to a life-saving crew at Cape Cod.

main Dissatisfaction Return.
 of last week involving 10000 union men was completely wiped out to-day when practically every man went back to his work under conditions but slightly changed from those existing when the trouble began. Tonight the only incl dent in the labor situation is the strike of seVenty-five 'longshoremen at the Clyde line wharves. This is not actual ly an Offshoot of the big strike, but an independent strike brought about by two disgruntled workmen. Last night the meeting of the 'longshoremen' s union was so warm and the attitude of the men so threatening that the fore cast was for trouble at the WharVes Of several of the coastWise steamer docks. This morning practically all the long shoremen applied for and got work, thus solving the freight problem on the water front.
 At the freight sheds of the railroads the number of men left without imme- diate employment was less than 800, but during the forenoon it was believed that most of the men were used in one way or another, somewhere, in the effort to move freight expeditiously. The state board of arbitration was in touch with every point and wherever a question arose between the men and their em- ployers good offices were exercised About noon seventy-five men on the Clyde line struck because two men talk en back did not get their old places, al though given work. The board of arbi- tration does not consider this a part of the general strike, but is endeavorine to settle it. Tonight the board issued review of the day with the eXpectan cy that it has closed up the biggest la bor trouble in the east for many years
