An Overland Train Snowed in on
the Mountains ,
It is a Micature World in Iteolf.1
A OondnotoroTough Trip to the
Telegraph Station ,
A Desolate Day With the Howling -
ing Wind and Pelting Snow.
Tlio Resuming Party and the R -
The overland train on the Union
Pacific , duo from the west Friday , rived
ivod here yesterday on gchodulo tlmp ,
having boon snowed In on the back *
bono of the Rockies on its eastward
trip.Thin
Thin train left Ogden Wednesday
morning in the midat of a heavy rain ,
there being very little snow on the
ground. It was hold four hours at
Rook Springs and two hours at Lira *
rnif , leaving the lattur place about ti
o'clock Thursday evening. It was pre
ceded by a snow plow with three en-
ginoii attached and having on board
Superintendent Ed. Dickinson. The
snow had been falling quietly but
steadily , and lay fully tbreo foot on the
level across Lararnio plains and on
the mountain side. The snow plow
wai not ton minutes In advance of the
passenger train.
About fifteen mlnutou after leaving
Lart.mlo the wind arose and began
BLOWING A OALK.
The train , drawn by three engines ,
was ascending the steep srado toward
Sherman , the highest point on the
Union Pacific road. At this locality
the surrounding country is Ilka a threat
plain , more * level than our Nebraska
pralrlo , but rpachlng toward a height
of about 8OCO , foot above sea lorol
The tempest howled around the train
and dashed the snow In waves against
it and at length , two and a half miles
west of Tie Siding , and about twelve
miles from Laramie , the iron horses
gave out and
THE T1UIN HTOOD STILL.
At the roar was a small cut ton foot
on ono side and six on the other ,
which rapidly filled up with snow.
East of this was the level plain , affording -
ing full scope for the uweeping wind ,
which drifted the snow to a depth of
two feet , and in this tha moving
wheels came to a stop In front was
another small out , perhaps ton feet
deep. About the train on oveiy aide ,
and as far as the cyo could reach
was a trackless waste , a wilder
neas of white , drifting and tossing
snow. In this bleak locality the rugged -
god rocks rise abruptly from the earth
and in such fantuatic shapes that they
are a never ending source of wonder
to the tourist.
THE DESOLATE COUNTRY ,
barren of nil lifo aavo hero and there
a solitary plno jutting out from the
solid rock , is lonely enough In mid
summer , but when the wintry blasts
am howling over it and tha lee kkg
spreads a suowy shroud over the land
scape , it , is doubly desolate. When
this train became "dead" the enow
was drifted against the bleak rocks
until they nero hidden from sight. All
around was ono vaut , limitless plain
of will to , across which the storm
swept with fury and in the midst of
which the train with its load of paaaeu
goto stood holpleaa while the oletnonti
bound it
ICY FETTERH.
The wheels were soon hidden from
eight and the tmow banks
eamu up oven with the stops
As darkness came the rush of wind
and the noiao of the snow pelting 011
the window panes was all that could
bo hoard. Within the coaches glow
ing fires were burning and the lockers
rf the baggage car being packed with
food , no fears of starvation wore felt.
The Pullnan coach had among its
passengers , lawyers , cattle kingo ,
preachers , and physicians , actors and
private parties , in fact
A LITTLE WOULD IN 1T8KLF
and as ono of the number expressed it
"wo had a jolly time , I novor'enjoyed
myself better in my llfo. "
The conductor , however , alarmed
for the safety cf his train , started , in
company with the baggage master , to
walk to Tie Biding , the nearest sta
tion. Hero Superintendent Dickinson
had stopped with the snow-plow , hav
ing succeeded In making his way that
far.
Across the ridge of the Ilocklos
another train lay
HOIUED IN THE KNOW ,
the No. 3 which left Omaha on
Wednesday , and which- was Htuck east
of the Dalle crook bridge.
The passengers on No. 4 lay all
night , completely cut off from thoontor
world , and wondering if the messengers
who had gene for relit f wore alive or
dead. At 0 n. m. Friday a gang ol
ao'tlon men arrived and reported that '
they had soon nothing if the conduc
tor and his companion , and that they
had not reached the station. It was
concluded that they were frozen tc
death , but an hour later they ro
tursod , having made the trip with nc
further suffering than
FROZEN EARS AND HANIW.
All day long the train lay aolltarj
in the mountain fastness. "It was ai
if we were burled , " said a pasaongoi
to THE BEE reporter. " "The onlj
object visible In the horizon , except
thu limUloaa field of snow , was a rugged
god pine , away oil' , projecting from t
great rock , which was itself hidden ii
the snow. " On boird was a numboi
of young people from Laramie am
i'ort Steele , on their way to Fort D
A , Uuesoll to attend
A OEllMiN ,
to bo Riven Friday night. They won
greatly disappointed and same won
ao determined that they eventually
went on to Ohoyenuo with the train
although twenty , four hours too late
for the German. In the meantime t
of section men with a snowplow -
plow was working westward fron :
Cheyenne and another gong of 7
men with a snow-plow and three on.
clnei left Laramie at 9 a. m ,
Friday to rescue the beleaguered
train at Tie Biding. Thry had to encoun
ter drifts from six to fifteen foot deep ,
and did not reaih their journey's end
until 5 p. m. Daring all this time
there WM
NOT A WUBHL MOVING
between Green Illvor and Laramio.
I ho passengers on this train watched
all day long for relief , buc none
cimo , and only the whistling
wind WM to bo heard until
430 ; o'clock , when a whistle was
hoard at a bend some distance west
ward. Even then nothing could be
seen , but for thirty minutes the work
ing of the ongiucs with the suowplows
was audible. As It came nearer It was
A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT
to BOO the men attack the huge snow
drifts ; reaching one , the seventy
five shovellers would march on
it like an army. Beginning
at the top , thirty rf them
would work the surface off , and thoti
standing on the "bench" thus formed
their comrades threw up the aolid
chunks from the bottom and they
heaved them over the top of the
bank. Then the massive engine
would go for the pile and great surf-
likowavoc , crystalizad whitecaps would
fly up high In the air and tail hke
ocean waves on a rock-bound coast
At 5 o'clock the relief party reached
THE DEAD TRAIN.
They brought a car load of provisions ,
and there was no scarcity of any of
the necessaries except water and coal ,
both of which were in great doiruud ,
the engines on No. 4 keeping steam
up only by molting the snow , The
train was at once hauled back to
Laratnio , whore Mr. Towno , superin
tendent of the eating houses , had a
hot supper ready for the passengers
and "you bet we appreciated it. "
They had been
LOST IN THE HNOW
for just. 24 hours. Hero the train laid
until Saturday morning , when it loft
for Omaha , reaching hero with
out further mishap. The No. 3
train , which left Omaha on Wednes
day , and the No. 3 of Thursday
reached Laramie together on Saturday
morning and wore consolidated. The
passengers on these trains.aa on No. 4 ,
were well pleased with their treatment
and not sorry of their experience In
wrestling with the snow on the moun
tains.
HNOWKLAKIW.
The eastern trains yesterday were
all late , the Wabash an hour and a
half , the Bock Island two and one-
half bourn and the Northwestern
three hours. The 0. B. & Q. was not

The Denver train on the U. P. ar

evening lecture on the subject.
* TTonr Amusements "
Mark 0 : 31 "Come yo yoursolve
apart into n desert place and rest t
while. "
In these words wo have our Sa
vlor's own authority for engaging ii
relaxation and amusement. Chris
had just received the cruel tidingn o
the buheadiag of John the Baptist
This , coming nftor a hard day's tpll in
speaking and wotklng miracles , Qlloi *
the Lord's heart with uneasiness am
sadness ; and therefore ho took th
disciples out into the desert to get rli
of the pressing cares of lif a and commune
muno with solitude and God.
In the attainment of true success i
lifo a man roust understand the rola
tlon between work and amusement
ho must know where the ono ma
properly oiid and the other begin , an
ho rauat bo able firmly to divide h !
time between them so as to accom
pllah the moat. To get this matte
before us let us notice the followln
points :
I. THE NECESSITY Of AMUSEMENT.
Hard workers in all ages huvo rec
ognized the fact that the mind must
sometimes ba relaxed , the energies i
unbent and the nerves quieted ; and 1
they have employed many and
atrango moans for attaining this.
Splnoaa cot spiders to fighting ,
Socrates played with children , Balsao
collected crayon portraits' ' , Descartes
cultivated a garden , Granvlllo Sharp
had a barge on the Thames , Richelieu
jumped with his servant , Samuel 1
Olarko leaped over chairs and tables ,
Daley fished , BufTon walked In the
garden where stood the tower in
which ho wroto. Various as are these
ways of seeking amusement , they together -
. gothor point to the fact of its necessity
to men. The bow that is always strung
loses its strength by and by , and the
mind which pursues constant study
dulls Its perception or memory.
II THE NATDRB Of AMUHEMENT.
It must ba constantly borne in
mind that amusement is a moans to
an end. It would not have the right
for the disciples to rest in the desert
forever , or oven for a year at a timo.
The true lifo la that which combines
active service and hard toll with a
roaaonablo amount of restful re
creation. Seneca aoys : "Whatever
bo the amusements yon choose , return
not slowly from these of the body to
the mind. " It Is a good rule. It is a
very grave mistake to suppose that
this lifo is designed principally for
amusement , while honest work muit
look out for Itself. Simuol Olarko
might have became a tolerable athlete
by aovotiug hla llfo to leaping over the
tables , but ho never would have be
came the 'great and useful economist
that ho was.
Ill THE CRITERIA OF ALLOWABLE
AMU8EMENT8.
Can any practical directions , then ,
bo given for ascertaining what amuse-
menta may bo entered Into without
Interfering with true aucceia 1 Lot us
attempt It.
Amusements must not exhaust use
o that we go to oar work fatigued In
body and mind , To do our life's duly
wo need all the phyaical energy wo can
command , and it ia foolish to kcop
auch late honn , or engage in such
long continued recreations , that we
become dispirited and lacking in
energy ,
imusements should not consume
too much time , Even if they do not
exhauet us wo cannot aff.rd to spend
too much precioui time upon them.
"Tho night cometh , when mo man can
work. "
Oar amaaementa should not lead
othora astray. Wo may bo able to
stand temptations under which othora
may fall ; and it is the part of noble
beings to omit such amusements.
Amusements should not do violence to
an Intellectual nature. Your bodies
may bo tired , but your minds may bo
hungry for "knowledge. Ono of the
beat ways of the worktngman to bo
amuaod is devote an hour a day to In-
teotual culture.
Finally our amusements should not
do violence to our spiritual nature.
Wo have souls to bo saved as well as
bodies to bo relaxed and minds to bo
Instructed. God has given ns Jesus
Christ His Son to be our Savior. Lot
no amusement draw ua away irom
Him. Lot UB take Him with us when
wo go ont into the desert of relaxation
to rest awhile. The disciples did this
and they were blessed.
A Good Name.
Yesterday morning the pastor of the
First M , E church , Ohas. W. Savldgo ,
preached on the text , "A good name
Is better than great nchea. " Proverbs ,
22,1.
It is not the name that the builders
of the Tower of Babel sought after ,
nor the name which Abaolom obtained
and which was associated with the heap
of atones ralsod to his honor. It is
not a good name merely on account of
being cut on granite or heralded by
the press ; that is , it is not a necessary
qualification , nor a sure criterion by
which to judge. Shakespeare , who
has cryatalized many of the belt
thoughts of mortal man says It is
TIIK "JEWEL OP TUB SOUL , "
and my definition is , "a good name is
the sweet odor of a good life. * ' A good
name is a courier , who in hia haste
pro ssos onward into the dim future
through time and eternity. It is an
advance guard behind which is heard
the steady tramp of the troops.
It is rather to bo chosen than great
riches. Ono has said he would not
take riches but he would take a good
namo. Ho chose not to look upon
the beautiful metal , but would prefer
the honor of the metal. But if one
have a good name it is to him riohes.
By it he can gain fortune after fortune
and smile at the envious world aa
LUTHER LAUGHED AT SATAN ,
ind fearlessly overthrew his strong' '
lold. Some think that wealth affords
unbounded comfort , and through il
one has a foretaste of heaven. But
clad in exquisite taste trsnblo v ,
como and tread on the finest Brussels
or velvet carpets , sit on the elegant
sofas and rocking chairs , and assume
power in the private domain.
"He forces his rule ,
And you are his tool ;
And where is the man
Who would call him a fool ! "
The Bible's good name is the syno
nym of riches. The ono L the com
panionof the other. But sin is the
power which
STRIKES A DAGGER AT USEFULNESS
of whatever character. It parades it
the valley of contest , clad in armor
as a Uoliah , to defy the success of tha
which is honorable and just. Bu
when ono casts u pebble in a pond
and the little waves , starting from thi
center , go to the further recess of tha
pond , so a good name reaches over ;
household.
And it may bo asked , Why are cer
tain good characteristics attributed t
certain men ? And the reason IB , thol
characters demand it. Why is Spur
goon so useful ) Because a holy life i
fho malusprine of his nets. Thu
which any preacher is , is frr mor
powerful than what ho s ys. Thu terrible
riblo peal of tunnder H but a com
panion to its echo , but the silent light

THE TWO-EDOED SWORD.
What think you of Moody anc
Bishop Simpson of our own church
In some of their sayings there seem
to be a lack of brilliancy. The Yal
lectures , as delivered by Bishop Simp
son , while in some respects they ar
" commonplace , " thousands graa
them. It Is a good life deserving a
good name that causes success.
The bible good name gives man im
mortality. It cuts a window in the
aide of the cell through which man can
look hopefully into the future at the
same time bad men are written on our
memories as an object at which wo
hear
THE HISSING
ct justice and purity. In the last
book of the old testament we read ,
"And a book of remomboranco was
written biforo him for thorn that
feared the Lord , and that thought
upon His name. " And in the last
book of the now testament wo road ,
"Him that ovorcomoth shall be
clothed in white raiment. " And if a
name is stolen it la not by the power
of another but by one's own act.
Man IB surrounded by providential
adamant , penetrable only by the per
mission of God , and by man's doeds.
And although men say they will take
away a good name and cannot , the
poraon In question , aa all others , must
face the billows on the aea f llfo.
When Charles Wesley announced afc a
certain gathering that ho had boon
accused of everything but drunken-
noaa , a woman in the audience
shouted
"TOU WERE DRUNK IA8T NIGHT. "
Dr. Talmuge , of Brooklyn , while ho
is a Presbyterian , la more of a "Moth-
odiat minister" than any man in the
United States , and great numbers are
converted by hla preaching , la cue of
the most slandered. When I com
monccd preaching and apoko to an
aged lady in reference to a matter of
Roasip , she said ; "Whon you build a
tire and do not put wood or coal on it ,
it will go out , " and I have often
thought of It since ; and It brings to
one's mind the adagu"Good council is
silver , but
SILENCE IS GOLD. "
Do you nek "How can you get a
good name ? " I simply answer , got it
for yourself. Your father may have
a good name , but ho may not be
known everywhere , and if ho wore ,
you would bo compelled to build yopr
own. 8. P. Chase was called the de
fender of the faith became it was the
structure which he had been building
from I his youth. Arlstldes cultivated
the I habit of patlouco and was known
as the "patient man. " Consequently ,
when a vile man followed him to hia
homo ono night and abused htm all
the way , Ariattdca sent his servant
with a lantern tn light the man of dis
content man homo. Socrates , wl a
asked how to obtain a good name ,
aaid , "Study to bo what you wlah to
bo accounted , " while the Christian
should seek for a name that would
suggest the words , "Blessed are thn
pure In heart for they shall aeo God. "
