Rat Were Relieved This Morning by
HELP From Haseratown.

Where is the Cumberland Valley
Railroad Company's snow pillow? This
is the question hat was asked by many
when they learned that two trains on
that road were snow bound. The blow
Is certainly needed now if it ever WAS
as two trains are o stuck in the
snow in the large cut about a half mile
this side of rabler's in plain view of
one another hut unable to render one
another n help.
The two trains that are stuck are !:
No I which leaves this city at 8 30 for
the south, No. 10 due here at ~ for
the north. No. Z LETT this CITY about
thirty minutes late on its way for VIM
chester. The two PASSENGER trains
usually pass at the station &c Inwood.
No. 10 passed Inwood aud vas on
its way to this CITY intending TO pass
the other train in this city when it
stuck in the large drift in The cut this
side of Tablers aud was stalled. After
many efforts to get through they de-
cided to wait until No. I came and
then it could give them some assistance
in breaking the way. No ! came but
when it got in PLAIN view of the other
train it also stuck and there had TO res
main.
The crews of the train worked all
night long Carving water from nearby
wells to keep the boilers full so that
the steam could be kept up or tile pas
sengers would have frozen.
The cut which is u large one was
drifted full ON ccoun of the snow
being very drv snd fine so that with
the strong wind that was blowing it
easily drifted the cut full.
The freight train was given orders
to 20 on the side track Mt Inwood know
ing that IL it ventured out OH the main
track that 1t would be stalled. The
large we'll at Inwood was emptied by
the men who got the water for the
freight to keep up steam 50 that the
fires would not have to be drawn. but
now all OF this is exhausted and the
engine will have to be taken to a wa
ter tank before steam a be gotten up
so that it cal proceed.
The Passengers on No. Z. which was
running double headed, weretaken off
at this CITY. the officials knowing that
the train would have to return here TO
let No. 10 pass There were fifteen
passengers on No. 10 who snent the
night in the country.
A train composed OF an engine and
two coaches was made up in Haoefs-
town and men picked up all along the
road and taken TO the drift to shovel
the trains his OUT morning at 10 O'Clock
but by that time the crews on the
trains that were suow bound had the
snow cleared away. With this force
the tracks were so)n ,lsl eel tna the
trains started
The two trains, Nos. z and 10 com
bined into one and proceeded on their
way to Hagerstown. They d ssed he o
about ii O'Clock.

MUNICIPAL BILL
UNDER DISCUSSION
CONTINUED from Page u

met yesterday afternoon and consider
ed matters relating to the general bust
ness OF the party as well as listened to
an argument in favor Of making the
Long bill the Republican measure. The
Long bill was allegedly drawn by an
attorney who was aggrieved when he
was not put on the Commission by
Chairman Holstein of the convention,
and so drew up the measure for Ho-
nolulu. The committee declared against
making the measure the Republican
one, saying that it would be an exhibit
ton of bad faith to pass a city provi-
sion for Honolulu and make it a special
measure. so that other towns of the ISL
ands could not have the privileges
The promoter urged that the Long
bill was really the official Republican
measure. but this was denied as it
stands with the Games bill introduced
in the Senate. as a private bill en-
tirely. -
