PASSENGERS
SNOW BOUND
FOR THE NIGHT
Mrs. Bernard Murphy Gave
Sixteen People a Good
Sunday Breakfast

The passengers and train crew that
were on the mail train going west
Saturday over the Lake road have
had an experience that they will never
forget as the train got stalled in
Badgers gap, five miles west of
st. Johnsbury, early in the evening
and the dozen passengers and the
train crew had to spend the night in
the cars. AS soon as the train was
stalled some of the trainmen waded
up to their almpits through the field
to the home of Mrs. Bernard Muir
ply, about a quarter of mile away,
for provisions, but it was impossible
to get the passengers there in the
darkness.
Sunday morning the frainmen
made as good trail as they could
through tie drifts and all marched
"Indian file" to the Murphy home
stead where the hospitable lady had
q big breakfast ready for 16 hungry
people. Among the passengers were
three ladies and a little girl and all
were bounteously fed.
About noon the work train reached
the train and brought more provisions
and brought the passengers back to
St. Johnsbuly.

BULLETINS
BUCKET BRIGADES HOLD
FIRE IN Stafford HALL

SOUTH HADLEY, Mass, March g.
Stafford Hall, one of the dormitolies
of Mt. Holyoke College, was badly
damaged by smoke and fire today
Fire apparatus was delayed by snow
drifts and townspeople with the col
lege girls fought the flames and pre-
vented them from spreading to other
college buildings Most of the girls
housed in the building were at classes
in other buildings.
Bucket brigades were formed TAX
ing water from every available source
and a group Of students broke a hole
in the pond on the campus from
which water was obtained. AS soon
as it was seen that the fire would not
spread through the whole building a
group of girls formed a line and ven-
tured through the house from room
to room, throwing the contents out of
the windows OF passing them along
the line. Stafford hall is one of the
oldest college dormitories and was
built in 1897. 1t is three stories and
of brick.

THREE RAILROAD mes Still TIED-UP BY BIG STORM
Guard Against Fires Is
Warning Issued by
Fire Chief
Guard against fires!

This warning issued by the
chiefs should be taken very sori-
ously at this time. 1t is almost
impossible for a fire truck to res
pond to an alarm under the con-
ditions of traffic. Should Il fire
start in your house, store of fac
tory it would undoubtedly sweep
on to the next building and so on.
We cannot afford a fire.
Chief Harry Marden of The st.
Johnsbury department warns all
householders to watch the rub
bish in their cellars and if posi-
BILE keep their cellars clean.
Don't let fires overhead. Watch
your drafts.
Chief Marden now has three
men stationed at Station 3. They
responded to still alarms at No.
50 Summer street Sunday where
there was a chimney fire. No
damage was done.

much hospitality from the people of
that town.
The first effects of the storm be-
gan to be felt on Saturday moinin,s.
The night "air line"' from Boston
came through nearly on time, but the
night mail was several hours behind
its schedule. The "air line" Saturday
afternoon came through about two
hours behind its schedule, but was
ordered to turn around at Woodsvi,,e
and 1T arrived back at Newport at
O'Clock Sunday morning.
The accommodation train from
White River Junction came through
st. Johnsbury about ~'"lock Satur-
day afternoon, reaching Newport at
BIB in the evening. She became stuck
at various points along the line and
it was necessary to dig her out many
times during the t';r --',o oo.nrAay
night "air line" from Montreal reach
ed Newport at daylight and stayed
, there until $50 Sunday evening when
it was made up again and started
back for Montreal. The night mail
from Springfield passed through St.
Johnsbury at 10 o'clock Sunday
morning, running seven hours late.
The "air line" from Montreal Sunday
noon reached Newport about on time.
She made a picturesque sight as she
steamed into Newport with two heavy
engines completely covered with snow
and icicles. This train was despatch
ed to Boston via White River juno
ton, Greenfield and the Fitchburg
Division.
The st. Johnsbury & Lake CHAM
plain railroad, which had suffered the
least from interrupted service this
winter of any of the reads in New
England, is hard hit now. All trains
are cancelled on this road until fur
ther notice. Sunday there were six

Mr.. GOss Drives Packard
In 2 Feet of Snow

C. II. .Goss of the Goss company
demonstrated today that Packard
car can travel in any kind OF
storms or weather. It's true that
he didn't find it very easy going
ploughing through two feet of snow
on Eastern avenue where there is a
25 percent grade but he made round
trip from the Goss garage to Rail
road street and back with only few
stops. When it takes four horses to
haul a half ton of coal the feat of
,unning an automobile in such travel
ing is a fattering testimonial to the
"gong ability Of Tho Packard. Mr'
Goss as usual holds the record for
automobile operating; in Northeast

chat preceded the snow storm rather
than by the heavy fall of snow. The
lowering of the temperature Friday
night covered the railroad tracks
throughout Northern New England
with ice and the freight and passen-
ger trains caught out in the storm
were icebound.
Trains Saturday were snowbound
and can be more easily dug out, but
to eXtlicate the icebound trains it
will be necessary for large forces of
men to work for hours on their hands
and knees picking the ice from the
car wheels. 1t is also impossible to
move the trains on several of the
New England railroads as the track
in many places is simply a sheet of
ice and any engine striking this part
Of the road would be derailed at once.
The White Mountain division of
the Boston G. Maine, which runs from
Concord to Woodsville, seems to be
hit the hardest. The last train north
was the Saturday afternoon "air line"
which reached Warren Summit Sat-
urday night and is still there. All
trains on the White Mountain divi-
sion have been cancelled and no mail
has been received here from Boston
since Saturday morning.
A force of 200 men were secured
at Concord to clear the tracks and the
officials hope to get through service
resumed Tuesday. Geolge G. C9Xling
was at Laconia Saturday morning, in
tending to take this train home, but
decided to take the morning train. 1t
proved to be morning train, all
right, as he was % hours making
about rs miles and reached st. Johns
bury on o freight train at 7 o'clock
Sunday morning.
All trains on the Maine Central
have been cancelled since the storm
began, but the officials are hoping to
get something started Tuesday. The
worst effect of the storm is through
the White Mountain notch where all
the men available have been secured
to open up the road. There are also
heavy drifts near Sebago Lake. The
Maine Central sent one of their big
snow plows from Lancaster Saturday
to St. Johnsbuly and it returned to
Lancaster in the afternoon. A man
and a woman both tried to secure
transportation, but the management
refused as no passengers arc taken Oh
snow plows. The St. Johnsbury st9-
ton received a message Monday
morning that all trains between Que
bee Junction and st. Johnsbury were
cancelled for Monday because Of the
snow and ice on the track.
The Academy basket ball team, ac-
companed by one Of the teachers,
Miss Parker, reached Lancaster Sat
urday forenoon and have been there
ever since. They have been in fire |

their parents and report themselves
as very comfortably located at the

NEWPORT HAD
WORST STORM
IN Is YEARS
Milk Famine Threatens City
as Result of impassability
of All Roads

The severe March blizzard that
swept Ill New England Friday night
and Saturday caused considerable
damage in Newport and vicinity and
resulted in the loss Of many hundreds
of dollars by business men in the
city, many of whom closed their
store Saturday evening. Old timers
declared it was one of the worst
storms this section and country has
seen in 25 years o. more. The storm
was one from which it will take sew
cral days to recover
One of the serious effects of the
storm had was the tying up Of prac-
tically all freight and passenger ser
vice on both the Canadian Pacific
and the Boston and Maine railroads
and another was the threatened milk
famine. Railroad officials said the
loss TO the roads will mount in the
thousands.
Extra crews have been working
frantically since the storm commenc-
cd in an effort to keep the tracks
clear but their efforts were not re-
warded with any degree Of success.
The wind blew at such a terrific rate
of speed that the tracks became COW
cred with snow just so soon as they
were cleared The trains schedules
have been badly mixed up and will
probably not be straightened cut for
several days. Several trains were
cancelled because the officials be
leved it useless to send them out.
Another thing that is hindoling
traffic OH the railroad is the heavy
ice that covers the tracks in places
JustIhis side of Sutton, it is report
ed there is a space Of 20 rail lengths
where tie ice is thickly coated over
the lqlils 1t was necessary to call
an ener yency crew to chop the ice
away SO that the Montreal trains
might proceed.
An accident, which came near being
serious, happened at Highwatcr Sat
urday afternoon. A snow ploW going
south was derailed, turned completely
around and fell over into field. 1t
is believed something fell under the
wheels and caused the engine to jump
the tracks. There were two men in
the plow at the time but only one was
hurt. His face was cut about four
inches. The injury was not serious,
however. The plow, at the time Of
the accident, was travelling ahead of
the noon air line
Crews were kept busy all of the
time shoveling snow from the sta
ton platform and vicinity and from
the yards. The city snow plow did
not get around until Sunday morning,
after which walking was not bad at
all. On Saturday, however, most o.
ths sidewalks were impossible. The
worst situation presented itself on
North Avenue, where the snow in
some spots on the sidewalk was eight
feet deep. Many of the families on
this street were entirely snow bound
and did not attempt to leave their
houses on Saturday. A number Of
people were seen wearing snow shoes
to their work Saturday. 1t was the
only manner in which people could
travel in some sections Of the city.
There were many cases where people
had to be literally dug out from drlf =
they had fallen into.
Newport suffered from a partial IA
mine Saturday and Sunday, only Il
small portion of the milk men at
tempting to cover their regular rour )
