Developments of tho past twelve hours
load to the conclusion that the bliMrd is at
an ond and rapid strides towards recovery
from tho effect are being made, especially ou
tho part of tho railroad companies. Affairs
wcro lu such a deplorable condition yesterdav
afternoon tbat none of tho railroad com
panies wcro disposed to count upon a re-establishment
of tralllc of any kind within
twenty-fuiir hours, but they accomplished
much better work than was anticipated.
iramo is again established between this
town and Pottsville on both the P. ft It and
Pennsylvania railroads, and the furrner also
has its lino from Ashland to Mahanoy Plane
open.
Tho Philadelphia & Reading Railway sys
tem Is open bctweon Pottsville and Phila
delphia, Pottsville and Tauiaqua, and Ash-
laud and Pottsville. Tho East Malianov

day, but the company hopes to eet it open by
to-night, lho threo engines that were
caught in Fulwcllor's cut, near East Maha
noy Junction, wcro released at 10 o'clock last
night, ami the lino has since been open to
tralllc. Tho first travel over the P. & 11.
branch from Mahanoy Piano to town was
made at 0:30 last night by three engines
coupled together to break tho drifts. Tho
engines returned and, at 5:25 this morning,
arrived in town with ono passenger coach.
The same train left here at 5:15 a. in. All trains
on tho branch are now ruuning regularly.
The passenger trains that left town at 5:23,
7:30 and 0:55 this morning made connections
with tho main lino trains from Williamsport
at Mabauoy Plane. The first two trains were
only 15 minutes behind their schedules when
passing through Mahanoy City. Tlio third
train known as tho flyer was only 10 min
utes lato. The freight trains on tho system
also commenced to move freely this morning.
Train No. 1, tbo newspaper train of the
P. & 11. system, left Philadelphia this morn
ing on time, but failed tocouuectat Reading,
from which placo a substltuto train was run
to Pottsville. ' There was some difficulty
with drifts at a point south of Reading dur
ing tbe morning hours.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon tho Philadelphia
& Reading Railway was In full operation
from Williamsport to Philadelphia.
Tho first freight train to reach town over
the P. & li. Railway since last Monday ar
rived in town at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
The Lohlgh Valloy railretd was less
fortunate iu its efforts to get the local
branches open. Tho lines between Maucb
Chunk and Ilazluton, and the latter point
ami Delano aro open. At 11 o'clock last
night an engine with ono passenger coach ran
from Dolauo to town over the high road and
passed on to Mt. Carmcl. Shortly after
eleven o'clock this morning the train re
turned hero from Mt. Carmcl and got stuck
iu the suow ou tho west bound track at
the red brldgo, ou tbo eastern outskirts of
the town. Several navvies were sent to tbe
placo mid they found the snow plied above
tho sinoke ttack of the engine. They suc
ceeded in getting the engine out and rushes
wcro then mado into the drift with full
steam on. This was repeated sovcral times
and after one o'clock the t.ain bad a clear
road, but Iu forcing its way it bad thrown
the snow on to tho east bound track, which
tbo samo engine cleared last night
when it mado its way to Mt. Carmel.
It went to Delano over tho high road.
Tho train consisting of two engines and a
coach that left .Mahanoy City at 2:30 p. m.
yesterday to try and "fnreo its way to town
got suow bound in a deep cut west of the
Elmwood colliery. There was a 25-foot drill
iu tbo cut. KJ'urti to get through wcro given
up at midnight aud to-day the engines were
sent from Delano, over the high road, and ef
forts aro now in progress to open tho branch
from the Barry Juictiou end.
Tho Pennsylvania Company got its first
train into town last night. A train of threo
engines and two passenger coaches left Potts-
villo at 7:10 last night aud reached town at
0:15, tbo journey of two hours aud five min
utes being without any special incidents. Tlio
train was delayed somo time at Wetberll!
Junction aud Frackville to allow P. & R.
trains to pass, audit was also halted about
teu tuluutes at a point a short distance east of
tho Shenandoah City collier, while the nav
vies wcro completing an opening. There was
a drift thirty feet high at this point. The
navvies mado the opening by terracing tbo
sides. The first train on the line for Potts
ville this morning, left shortly after six
o'clock with two eugiues and passenger
coaches. It returned hero at about 8:30, half
an hour late, and went out again at 8:50. The
condition of tho branch was so favorable that
but one engine was used on the last out
bound trip. Tralllc ou tho branch is now
fully re-establisbed,
Ther.ad between tlio P. & R. railway
station at Brandonville and tho pumping
station of tbe public water works was re
opened yesterday afternoon, and teams are
hauling coal to the pumping station with
satisfactory promptness.
Among the snow bound oars along the
Cutuwissa branch of tho P. & 11. railway is
one loaded with western horses. Several of
them died Monday night and yesterday from
exposure and lack of water. A car load of
cattle is also in the train.
During the storm on Sunday night P. & R,
train No. 50, engine No 513, collided with
an cuglno that was shifting cars at Lofty,
Both engines were badly damaged and two
cars were wrecked, but none of the crow
suffered.
Some excitement was caused last lgbT by
a report tbat Benjamin Womer, of towu,
was lost in tho drifts on Locust Mountain.
It is gratifying to learn that tbo report was
uot confirmed by subsequent developments
Mr. Womer is one of the engineers employed
at the pumping station of the water works.
Ho concluded yesterday to mako an effort to
roach the station and relieve John Britton.
the other engineer, who has been on duty
since Monday morning. Mr. Womer started
from town on horseback at 1:45 yrsterday
aftornoon. Ho wus accompanied by two men
ou foot who wero employed to htlp break a
road through tbe drifts. Somewhere be.
tween the Kehley Run colliery aud the
reservoirs Womer got a considerable distance
ahead of his helpers and they lost all trace
of him. They returned to town. Much ap
prehension was felt for the engineer's safety.
Ho was under Instructions to telegraph to
Water Superintendent Bell Immediately
upon his arrival at Brandonville. Nightfall
came and no ineamge was received. A tele
gram was sent to Brandonville and the
station agent there said Womer had not ar
rived. At 10 o'clock last night William
Womer, a son of the engineer, and a friend,
hired horses at Nelswenter's stable and
started out to hunt fur tbe missing man.
They found him at Readier farm, which Is
located aliottt midway between the Brandon.
vllle cross roans and Harry Junction. Upon
reaching the croJ rwids Mr. Womer was
confronted by a snow drift over twenty feet
high. He could make no break without
great danger to himself and horee, and con
cluded to seek shelter at the farm for tbe
night. The man Is about 60 years old, bat
stalwart aud full of grit. He is a veteran of
tho rebellion. Many people were surprised
to learn that he had succeeded iu reachiug
the farm. lie returned home to-day.
The four surveyors from Pottaville who
wore snow bound here, returned to their
homes this morning. They came here early
ou Monday, last, to work at the Ulrard

and several other people left Pottaville at 1:30
o'clock yesterday alternoou, expecting to be

THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Narrow i;caiies renin Death While Thrill
ing Drifts on ii ltallroad.
There were some thrilling oventa in con-
nrction with tho efforts to force a passage
through tho drills lu the cut west of the
Elmwood colliery, near Mahanoy City, last
night. Repeated efforts to accomplish the
purpose wore made with tbo two coupled
engines and several times tho forward engine
was buried in the snow.
At about 10 o'clock last night tbe engines
succeeded in getting half way through tho
cut. Engiuo No. 407 went into the snow with
a rush aud then stopped. The snow was
about 25 feet high and packed. Engineer
William Rhoads was standing in tho cab with
his face towards tho obstruction. Tho bard
packed snow hurst through tbe oab window
aud Rhoads was forced backwards, partly
through tho opon door. The snow filled the
cab and almost extinguished the ougiuo's
uro.
Engine No. US. in charge of Bcniamin
Walters, endeavored to pull 407 out. David
llouser. an experienced engineer of Mt.

Loss at Two Thousand and
Three Hundred Killed.
Washington, Feb. 15. Further particulars
of the capture of Hollo by tho American
force is given in a cablegram from Manila.
Tho United States forces under Brigadier
Ueneral Miller captured Hollo, capital of the
Island of Panav and seat of tho so-called
government of the Visoayan Federation, on
Saturday last after a heavy bombardment.
Tho rebels set tbe town on Are before
evacuating it, but tbe American troops ex
tinguished the flames. There wero no casu
alties on the Amorlcan aide.
Tho United States gunboat Petrel arrived
at Manila late last evening with despatches
from BrigadierGcneral Marcus P. Miller to
Major-General Otis, announcing tbat Hollo
had been taken by the combined military
and naval forces on Saturday morning.
General Miller, on receipt of his instruc
tions from Manila, seut native commissioners
ashoro from tbe United States transport St.
Paul with a communication fur the rebel
Governor of Hollo calling on him to sur
render within a time stated and warning
him not to make a demonstration in tbe
interval.
The rebels moved their guns and prepared
to defend their position. Tho Petrel fired
two warning guns, the rebels immediately
opened fire on her.
The Petrel and the Baltimoro then bom
barded tho town, which tho rebels, having
set on fire. Immediately evacuated.
American troops were promptly lauded and
extinguished the fires in all oases of foreign
property, but not before considerable damage
bad been done.
It is believed that the enemy's loss during
tbe bombardment was heavy, but no Ameri
can casualties are reported.
Malolos is believed to be slated for tbo next
attack by tho United States troops and Meet
here.
The natives havo been congregating at
tbat point since tbo Caloocan fight In greater
numbers than anywhere else. General Otis'
pollcv is to keep the rebels from gathering
any largo force.
Color is lent to the rumor by orders re
ceived by the cruiser Charleston's com
mander to-day. The orders were to move up
tho coast and take a position directly off
Malolos, tbo insurgent "capital." At tho
hour this dispatch U filed tho cruiser has
taken her position and probably awaits a
signal for action. It is estimated tbat sho is
eight miles off Malolos, but can get nearer.
General Otis will probably mako a move
ment with his army and after a bombard
ment will pursuo the same tactics employed
iu former battles.
Tho Concord is now lying off Paranaque.
The gunboat Helena arrived yesterday.
On Friday Aguinaldo visited Polo, a few
miles northwest of Caloocan, and addressed
the Filipino troops there, claiming that he
had won a victory and asserting that 2,300
Americans had been killed.
