Tm: inconveniences of travelling in cold weather have been aggravated by the heavy fall of snow during the past two weeks. On Thursday afternoon of last week a regular blizzard set in, and blew trom the north and West with almost Manitoba. ferocity. The effect was that inside of three hours travel all over the lines of the Midland was stopped. The party of Toronto curlers who had that day been playing at Lindsay were on the evening train for Toronto. The train ploughed into a drift in a cutting about two miles below Cambray station and stuck fast. The Toronto men faced the situation and walked to Cambray and bribed a farmer to drive the crowd back to Lind- say for $5.00. Before the man got half way to town he. regretted that he had not exact- ed .S‘L'). An engine was sent back to Lind~ say to pull back the blocked train, but the “auxilliary power" never reached the scene of the blockade until twenty-four hours afterwards. The snow plow driven by two engines was put on to clear the line from Urillia south, and was followed by the (1sz menu express. Both trains were de- layed at Lorneville by the Cambray blockade, and lay there from Thursday night until Friday afternoon at three o'clock. Toronto trains coming to Lindsay Were all thrown out of time and laid up at Lorneville, many of the passengers being three days in get- ing through to Lindsay from Toronto. Friday afternoon the train that blocked the line was dug out and live engines «lunged the train to the siding at ('arnbray Station, opening the line for traflie on Saturday morning. An attempt \\'a 3 made to run the trains on the Victoria branch, but alter driving an engine and coach as far as Cameron station. the attempt was abandon- ed. The snow plow was run through on Sunday and on Monday trains Were running as usual. The narrow gauge line from Lorneville north was even more tirmlv blocked than the lines running east and west by south, and it took two days of hard unremitting work to dig a passage for trains through the snowy obstructions.
