The storm today threatened to plac.
the same stretch Of road in a predica-
ment like that OF yesterday, but the
plows and fianges We're right on the
spot, and by constant work the army
of laborers has been able to forestall a
repetition. Trains are reaching Utica
over this division considerably behind
time.
All Of the seven freight trains that
were stalled yesterday are still on
snoWbound sidinss along the route. and
no effort is being made at present to
release them. All energy is being spent
on the passenger traffic. It was said
at the division Sllnarintendent'S office
here tonight that the loss from freight
delay would probably be great, mas
much as considerable perishable stuff
is undoubtedly in the stalled cars.
No effort will be made to take a
freight train over the division until
tomorrow, and even then it nay be
out OF the question if the present storm
does not SubSide.
Mr.. Monroe, proprietor of the Central
hotel at Lacona, told of the arrival at
