Ing demand nf the people who bad been
crowding the offices all morning
A number of entities with snow ploughs at

egraph communication wits renewed with
Albany ami Bunulo nnd with Home of the local
stations Word was received from Albany that
the break between there and Poughkeopsie
was very heave the snow being as high us ton
feet In some places
It was determined to Bend the first train up

heavy imglno with a snow plough attached pro 1
ceded It The conductor was ordered to run
his train ns best he could alter leaving Pough
keepBlu If it was found expedient to switch
from the down track ho was to do It
This train Superintendent Toucoy said
last night will probably have to zigzag Its
way up nnd It will necessarily have to go very
slowly We have no Idea at what time It will
reach Albany and In tact wo nro not certain
that it will get there at all The passengers
were notified of the chances they took and
must do the best they can There no danger
accident or that the train will bo stalled be

truck behind Is clear and tho train can he run
