Trains Held Up by snow.

SUFFIELD, Conn, Feb. 3.-Forty
passengers were held up all night half
a mile from West Sufiield station on the
Central New England branch line be-
tween Tariffville and Springfield, Mass.
A high wind packed the snow into
hard drifts, against which the engine
could make no Roadway. The stalled
passengers were provided with food
by the railroad authorities, and most
of them slept in the cars, which were
kept comfortably warm. A snowplOw
was sent out from Hartford to the re-
lief of the train, but before it reached
here the train crew and section gang,
assisted by some Of the passengers,
had succeeded in shoveling a way
through the big drifts so that the
train was enabled to proceed. a
freight was stalled all night at Feed
ing Hills, Mass, six miles from here,
but that also has got clear.

support of the course of the presidents
policy among Democrats than among
Republicans and said that the Demo

treaty We're assured.
