Tales OF The Late Storm.
=. Mems Gallant Battle to Save Their Pas
sengers and Trains. u

to De removed before the train
could proceed.
Working under great disadvan-
tages this task required several
hours of the trainmen's time. and
it was not until the night was we'll
advanced and the storm at its
height that another start was fin
ally made, but with only one en-
CINE, as two Of the machines had
run out of fuel and had been sent
on to Woodruff for a new supply.
These became stalled in BIG Drift
before they reached their destina.
t on and it was necessary to draw
the fires in them and leave them.
With his one engine, conductor
Beatty, in charge eff the train,
pushed bravely on, but after pro-
ceeding but a few miles the
wheels ceased to turn and the
low began drifting over the
cars. Conductor Beatty here
made the bravest fight of his life.
Bidding engineer Donahue keep
up steam to heat the cars he star
It'd out alone to walk the six mi
les through the drifts to Wood
ruff, Battling against the wild
gale and wading knee deep
ia snow, he finally reached that
village after five hours ext erl-
ence that few men could have liv
ed through. Though exhausted
and nearly frozen he at once COM
municated with the offic als of the
road. Word was sent to the
FIambeau Lumber company and
Foremen Ennis was placed in
charge of the work of temporary
relief. By almost superhuman
effort he travelled seven miles on
snow shoes, sinking into the soft
drifts as he walked, and secured
help from a lumber camp fortu-
nately but a mile away.
Teams were secured and by two
O'Clock IN the afternoon great
heaps of becfsteak, sausage. bread
butter amp potatoes were hauled
through the storm to the famish-
ed passengers, many of whom
had not tasted food for thirty
hours.
In the mean time engineer Don
ahue had been carrying out his or
ders. To repair his broken en-
CINE and keep steam in the boiler
with which to heat the cars, he
and his fireman were coulpell0u
to work under the big machine,
lying on their backs ia the snow,
wet from head to foot, that the
men, women and children left in
their charge might live.
With the coming of the rescue
party from the woods came also
men to dig out the stalled train
and fresh engines to pull it into
Woodruff. In the evening the
then happy passengers were
transferred to another train and
taken to their destin alton.

The house session of Wednesday was
awaited with much expectancy, because
of the special order for the consideration
Of the Stone primary reform bill, which
has been reported out by the election
committee, somewhat precipitately "a II
seemed at the time. other general bills
on the same subject having been only
briefly before them and. one of them,
that of Mr. NanKeuren, had been re-
ferred without printing, only the even

consideration in committee of the whole
last Wednesday, IL was met with a
motion 10 recommit for further cOnsid-
Grafton, and the warmest struggle of the
session was preciptated, in which each
side engaged with equal spirit and
apparently even balance. Ii was main
tanned in support of the motion TO re-
commit, that no member had any eX-
pectation that this could become a lave
and that TO spend time upon il, and TO
pass il in the house if that would be
possible, would be fruitless waste. and
would be directly detrimental 10 the
purpose TO which every one of them is
pledged and TO which no one is opposed
the enactment of a primary voting
law by this legislature.
When the vote was reached. fifty-one
members voted for the resolution TO
recommit: and the committee then rose
and reported its conclusion 10 the house,
where the motion TO concur in finding
of the committee carried by fifty-two
yeas TO forty nays, and the bill was
accordingly recommitted 10 the COM
mittee on elections, Of which Mr.. Stone
is chairman.
