on the Rocky Mountains there oc-
CURED one winter night a terrible en-
counter. One of the opponents was a
compact monster, breathing fire and spurr-
ing obstacles from his track; the other was
vast, soft and apparently yielding; yet the
engine of iron and steam was vanquished
by the volume of the snow.
Rushing at full speed, freighted with
human lives the through express met the
storm, slackened speed, then stopped.
Passengers crowded to the platforms, only
to be cautioned back by the trainmen.
Running back for a new start, the loco
motive, with the convincing weight of eight
coaches behind it, was hurled again and
again at the obstructing drift, till at last
it was crowded SO far that it could not be
extricated When in the course of the
following morning the storm finally cleared,
there appeared on the scene of the encounter
only huge white mound with a curious
establishment of cab and smoke-stack,
and a line of motionless snow-covered
coaches that were barely distinguishable
in the glistening landscape. But for several
thin jets of blue smoke that rose from them,
and the black dots that swarmed out of
them like disturbed colony of ants, the
whole train, from distance of half mile,
easily might have been overlooked.
The temperature fell rapidly with the
passing of the snow, and every vestige of
vapor was changed in a twinkling to a
frosty veil that added to the SHOWS work
of concealment Under such circum-
stances the passengers showed the stuff of
which they were made Some gave way

nected with that particular road from the
superintendent to the rear brakeman on
the last car of that train. As soon as it
was suggested that food might be scarce,
these cheerful citizens began to discover
and to proclaim how ravenously hungry
they were.
A party of half dozen men who had
been playing cards before the disaster
thought the time seasonable for a resort to
their pocket-fasks, and became noisy.
Some of the younger men went to assist
the train hands in shoveling a space around
the coaches, while few of the older ones
joined them to direct the operations.
In the rear car there was a sick man,
woman with little ailing child young

or to laugh A fourth, who answered to the
name of Teddy" fingered, with a some
what shamefaced offer of assistance One
of his friends, returning several minutes
later for his forgotten cigar-case, went
out to tell amid roars of laughter, how he
had found Teddy warming the baby's
bottle over the fire. Presently the three
came in shivering.
Come, Teddy We're going to start
another game"
Start on then I'm busy"
The aspect of the car had changed. The
baby and its mother were established near
the stove, and the sick man was being
tended by Martha. A few other passen-
gers had drifted back from the forward
cars and these seemed inclined to make
the best of bad situation.
Meanwhile the snow-workers had been
obliged to abandon all hope of clearing the
engine. The most that they could do was
to open space around the train and re-
move the snow from the roof of one of the
forward cars, that they might use it for
an observatory In the afternoon some of
the passengers ventured up the temporary
ladder that had been constructed to the
lookout, and among the number was Mar

CARNIVAL AT BRANFORD

Highly GreditabIe Fair Managed by the Business Mens' Association, Assisted by BranfOrd Men and Women-Beuu- tifuI Floral Parnde-The Hall to be Open This Evening. k

open This Evening. k
 The grand carnival which was held at Branford center yesterday must have been very gratifying to the mem bers of the Business Mems association, to ether gentlemen and ladies who helptd to make the exhibition credit able and to the thousands of visitors who were present from all directions. Patronage at the carnival was excel lent, especially from this city, as the trolley cars to Branford were filled at State street before, starting, while trains on the Shore Line railroad ear- rled many to the fair a
 The parade was So satisfactory that it was generally referred to with jus tifiable pride, as it was so long that it occupied the entire route of the pro- cession and contained many vehicles entirely covered with the floral decora- tions that harmonious colors were not only beautiful but indicated excellent taste.
 A light top carriage with white and pink colors with fancy net work on the wheels was very attractive. Many others were worthy of prizes. Prob ably several of these decorated ve- hicles will be preserved in memory by excellent photographs.
 A part Of the exhibition is in the large hall at the central green. This part of the show is to be open to the public this evening.
 Dancing was enjoyed at Music hall last evening.
 The show of poultry and fur bearing pets was more extensive than antici- pated. A large number of coops were made in uniform style expressly for the occasion but were not enough in num- Der to contain all the poultry, conse- gently other coops were used.
 As Charles Bunnell, who is an ex- perienced poultry judge was preset, it is presumed that the premises in this department were awarded according to his judgment
 A large number. of stock pens were built with new lumber on the green. These pens contained some fine cattle and other farm stock.
 Both Branford people and visitors appeared to be well pleased with the exhibition which was undoubtedly larger and better than anticipated. Some of the many very agreeable resi- dents of the town stated that they de slider to have the occasion partake of the style of "Old Home greeting" with cordial and friendly meeting of friends and acquaintances. It is pleasure to meet many of the gentlemen who are residents of Branford. The local band furnished excellent music for the occa- sion.
