Ono Freight, Duo Wednesday
Afternoon, Reaches Canton
Thursday Morning--Rail-
way Notes.

Railroad traffic Is still In a blocked
condition on the w. & l.. E.. especially
between Cleveland and Canton. The
travel between here and GAINESVILLE is
also. retarded.
At Bedford traffic is almost suspend
ed both on steam and electric rail-
roads A local railroader stated Thurs
day that the A. B. & G. line, which
crosses the w. G. l.. f. at Bedford was
completely blocked. Several cars had
tried to break pathway, but as re-
suit both were badly ditched. Such
is also the case of the street car lines
at Chagrin Falls.
The fast local on the Wheeling and
Lake Erie became blocked at Middle
branch Wednesday in attempting to en-
ter siding. Another Wheeling train
was also delayed at point two miles
north of Kent. where the snow had
drifted to depth of four feet. Local
No. so which is due here at 4:45 WAS
delayed at Chagrin Falls and other
places along the line TO such an extent
that-it did not arrive in Canton until
| 3 o'clock Thursday morning.
The freight traffic has been blocked
to a greater extent than the passenger
trains. The local yaIdmen encounter
much difficulty in the making up OF
trains and getting them out on sohed-
ule time.

A dispatch from Ravenna says: A
blizzard of heavy wet snow visited this
section Wednesday. Snow drifted
along the track Of the Northern Ohio
Traction company so badly that not a
single car reached here and probably
none will get here until late today.
Cars left Cuyahoga Falls with plows
and sholevers and only reach Kent
late Wednesday afternoon. Many
drifts on the tracks between here and
Kent, six miles west, are six feet deep.
The special meeting of the directors
of the Pittsburg G. Western next Tues
day will be of. very great Importance.
The pending changes in title and posi-
tion, the result of the roads purchase
by the Baltimore & Ohio, will be de-
cided upon. Preparations are already
being made for the transfer of the
treasury and accounting departments
from Pittsbnrg to Baltimore, February
10. The clerks who will lose their
places by the transfer are being taken
care of as far as possible by the new
management. New positions have been
offered them and it is expected that
about dozen will go to the new head
quarters. p. & w. men are on the anx-
ious seat and eagerly await news from
headquarters.

Mr.. VIM. A. Barr, special agent
Of the Postofiice Department for
the est lblishment of rural free de-

Republicans Will Not NOmina te

The Republican congressional
committee of the Tenth district
held a meeting here last night to
determine the ACCESSIBILITY Of call
ing a convention to nominate a can
didate for Congress. All the coun-
ties in the district were represented
except Highland. There being Il
vacancy in Buena Vista, S. W.
Tardy was elected a member Of the
committee from that city.
After discussion of the situation
it was decided by a large majority
not to call the nominating conven-
ton. Therefore no Republican
candidate for congressional honors
will be put in the field in the Tenth
district to oppose the Democratic
nominee, II. ID. Flood. now member
of Congress from the district.

The suggestion Of our Oak Dale
correspondent on the first page OF
this weeks GAZETTE, is timely
and sensible contribution. The
generation of the older people have
borne the cheat and burden Of the
day." and their descendants stand
ready and willing to help to pay
for internal improvements which
are now, and, in the future will
be, of more benefit to them, than
to these cold timers" whose day
has come to shuttle off this mortal
coil. Let pOsterity bear some OF
it's burdens. We have reduced
the debt of the county to such an
extent that it is easily controlled,
but this burdensOme tax is still
piled on us yearly. AS he says,
the generation OF old people nave
had Pandora box o. woes to
contend with, such as reconstruc-
ton, canal destruction, the restOr-
ing of a government from chaos
and confusion, the failure of the
bank, the loss sustained by the
failure of the Court receiver,
changes made in the relation
between the enfran3hised negro
and whites, and many other things
which did not 60 smoothly, caused
by the disastrous civil war.
Gentlemen, of the Board Of
Supervisors, call halt at once.
The men of the old generation are
equal to any occasion, for they are
made out of stuff that does not
tire when honesty and faithful
ness is the bone of contention.

the establishing of War College
Board" with q view of organizing a
coherent plan of work among the col
leges and universities of the United
States where military instruction is
now "a part of the curriculum under
the direction of the United States
Army, says: There are no laws govern
ing this matter now, but it is hoped
that laws will be established with
this end in view. The aim will be to
effect uniformity and perfect har-
mOny in hours of instruction, their
character, armament and other de-
tails. AS matters stand today, army
oflic ers say that the only complete
military school in the United States
outside of West Point is the Virginia
Military Institute"
This is o. we'll deserved compliment
to the Virginia Military Institute
which is rapidly gaining Il national
reputation as being second only to
West Point. Within the last few
years large number of her graduates
have entered the regular army, and
many in the navy, who are holding
up their end of the line, with the
