Ssew fell at In tervale daring yealerday afternoon, laet evening and tbta forenoon. It til light however, and did net drift aufflelently te de a great deal of damage. Tbe railroad companies made progress la clearing their tracks yesterday and it la new certain that the great trouble is ever between this city and Philadelphia. West pi here both the Mt. Jey and Columbia reade are In geed condi tion and trains able te make geed time. As tar west as HarrUburg there is but little snow. During Tuesday no trains were die. patched from Philadelphia as tbe railroad officials thought they had sufficient en their hands te get through these that started en Monday. The Brat train te arrive here from the west last evening waa Harrlsburg Accomedation, whleh had been en the read since Monday afternoon at half put 2 o'clock. Their greatest trouble waa ex perlenced at Gap where there waa an lm mense snow bank, yesterday afternoon.

They arrived in this city several hours late, and tbe first section reached Philadelphia at 0 o'elock, foUewed ahertly afterwards by the ether. Thla morning Harrlsburg Express, Columbia Accommodation and otber trains passed down the read with bnt little difficulty. Large forces of men are still at work shoveling snow and they will be kept at it until all trouble and danger Is ever. Bstwere 12 and 1 o'clock te-day Niagara Exnresa arrived from Philadelphia bring ing tbe morning papers of that city. Ne New Yerk papers have been received here alnee Sunday.

The Reading railroad auceeeded in get ting tbelr first train from Quarry vllle te Lancaster last night, It arrived here at 9 o'clock, having been en the read since 0:30 Monday morning. The greatest trouble was experienced near the bridge whleh cresses Pequea ereek, between Reften and Baumgardner'a atatluna, Three engines and a large force or men were kept at work at this point for some time. A. M. Wilsen, superintendent of tbe Beading k Columbia read, was at Pequea all the time and he worked like a Trojan te get tbe traek in proper condition. In doing thla he had his feet pretty badly frozen. This morning at 8 oclesk train with one car and an engine left King street for Beading with geed prospeeta of getting through. Tbe mail, which had accumulated here for three days for Blading and inter mediate atattenr, waa sent out by thla train and Postal Agent Jehn T. Murphy found himself up te the ears in work thla morn ing. A train whleh started from Beading yesterday at 2 o'clock, arrlved at the upper depot in this city last night at 9 o'clock. Thev had great difficulty with snow at Ephrata, Akren, and ether points. This morning a train came in from Beading, and ran through te Quarry villa. It la tbe flrattralaUiat hai gene te tbe latter place since Sunday, and tbe people of that section have been without mall and many ether oemforta of life. When the train, which was delayed se long, left Quarry villa there were a number of passengers en beard, but some went back from New Providence. Three who re mained en beard because tbey were very anxious te get te Lancaster and expected every hour te go through tbe snow bank were David M. Befftmmyer and B. M. Hess, of Qu&rryvllle, and Butter Hastings, of Mechanics OrevP. They, with Postal Clerk Murpby and the train men, had a father rough experience and one that tbey don't care te ba'ye repeated. On Monday even ing they procured supper by walking te New Providence, some distance back from the first snow bank. On Tuesday morning tbey took breakfast at Charles' hotel, In Pequea Valley, but tbey had nothing te eat after that until they reaehed Lancaster. On Tuesday the big engine Bslelgb, while working In the anew en the Heading it Columbia branch, near Landlsvllle, was upset aud It waa with great difficulty that that It was replaced en the tracks. Tbe trouble la pretty well ever en the Beading read and trains will bi running en time ahertly. iJXl'ERIEXOE OP A 8TA0B DRIVER, Frem tbe Heading 1 line. Tbe driver of the stage running between Adamstown and Beading had a tough time in making tbe trip yesterday. He didn't drive a stsge.thougb.er perhaps he wouldn't have been heard from yet. The " stage " for tbla occasion, as there was only a single passenger, waa a single seated sleigh. The distance Is about ten miles, but he was about seven hours en tbe journey. Between Adamstown and the Five-Mile house he waa compelled te take down thlrty-nlne fences, bq that he could make his way with- out foundering In tbe huge drifts en tbe read. Between the Five-Mile house and Beading tbe anew Is drifted me deep that the fences are completely anewed abut, and be passed ever the fields withe'it any inter ruption te his pregrets except tbe super super sbundane of the " beautiful," Tbe driver doesn't want te have such a sleigh ride again la a hurry, TBB ROOMWOLBMAJaKBr.

A well known grocery man of this oily who, sells fine creamery batter had a big rush all day yesterday. Hs treated every one alike, however, and In order te de this, would net sell mers than half a pound te each parson. It waa a sorry looking market this morn ing. There was very little country pro duce, because there were but few farmers present. The butchers did a lively trade, as their supplies were ths only kind of whleh there waa a generous quantity. Every one who attended seemed te be going home with a basket of meat. It was a severe morning en Catholle buyers, who during Lent are required te abstain from fleah meat, except en a few days of tbe week, and then only at the mid-day meat Oysters are scarcer than they have been for some time.

One el tbe Most Disastrous Storms That Etm Wilted That Section. The storm of Monday in Philadelphia was fesrful in its intensity.

The storm la net ever by any meana." Superintendent GUI, of the Western Union, In Philadelphia, declarea that "inia is tne meat aisaaireus storm our com pany haa any record of In this section. Oar wlrea are down every where and Just new we are helpless. Net only are the wlrea broken and crossed, but tbe poles are down In many plaees. Between Philadelphia and Washington 500 of our poles have been blown down. In Philadelphia, however, we have been mere fortunate, and none of the poles have been uprooted."

A number or guns and a countless number or revolvers were displayed, and the mob declared its Intention of laying tbe town of Walnut City In aabes If any re sistance waa oUered. Ne resistance was offered, however, and alter two hours the records were all leaded into wagons and carried away. When tbe mob reaehed the city limits, en their way back te La Orosse with the records, they fired a volley and awakened the echoes with yell. The ground en which tbe removal of the reoerdalB made is an alternative writ of mandamuB Issued by Judge S. J.
