FATE OF MARYLAND
STILL IS A MYSTERY
No Communication Has Been Received
From the Sinking Vessel For Twenty
Four Hours; Rescuing Boats Are at
The Scene
limited Press Dispatch.l


New York, December 27.-The fate
of the Maryland, which was yesterday
reported sinking at some distance
from Sandy Hook, was still mys-
terry. For twenty-fou hours no COM
munication by wireless or otherwise
had been received either from the
Maryland or from any of the vessels
that had been sent to rescue her.
Some wireless message is expected to
come at almost any moment from
the Gresham or the Achusnet. 1t is
understood that the rescuers have ar
rived at the place where the Mary
land was last reported to be- Whether
they have found the distressed vessel
or not is not known. 1t is said that
thirty-four Spaniards were aboard
the Maryland.
New York, December 27.-Fears for
the fate of the Maryland, the vessel
reported yesterday in distress, $50
miles from Sandy Hook, have been
increased. The revenue cutters sent
out to look for the Maryland reported
this afternoon that they, had failed to
find her. Nothing was heard from the
Maryland since her message calling
for help came yesterday, and it is
feared that she has gone down.
Washington, December 27.-Sever-
al of the revenue cutters have
reached the place where the Mary

GREAT WESTERN TRAIN
STALLED IN THE SNOW
Passenger Due In Mankato During Noon
Hour Yesterday Caught in Drift This
Side of Madison Lake: Farmers
Came To Assistance

Passenger train No. al of the
Great Western, due at Mankato from
Randolph yesterday at 12:4O p. m,
was stalled yesterday. afternoon in a
great snow drift in a cut a mile and
half this side of Madison Lake
station. This occurred about two
o'clock in the afternoon, the train
being quite late even before reach
ing Madison Lake.
The train had managed to force it's
way through quite number of
smaller snow drifts, but this one was
altogether too much. 1t was six feet
deep and about 600 feet wide, and
the train was stalled in it after pene-
trating it the distance of about two
train lengths.
The news of the plight of the train
spread rapidly. All the section hands
that were available quickly set to
work with shovels to dig the train
out of the snow. Farmers from the
neighbOring country hurried to help
the section men, until there were
about twentyfiv men digging in the
snow, and opening way around the
train. About 4:30 o'clock, the train
was able to move back to Madison
Lake station. Some time later a
switch engine came from Faribault
to help pull the train out of the drift
but as the tram was already free
the switch engine was put on in front
of the train, and the train was
brought to Mankato through the
snowdrifts, forcing it's way along as
double header 1t arrived in Man
kato at $50 p. m.
During the night snow pillow
from Randolph worked to keep the
track clear or snow drifts between
Randolph and Mankato.
The weather conditions have con-
tinued to embarrass and handicap
the service more or less on all the
lines and late trains have been the
rule
No. SIG of the Northwestern, due
from the west at six o'clock this
morning, was reported six hours
and thirty minutes late. This was
due to heavy Dakota SHOWS.
