"In maintaining that this is a warm
place, passengers on the trains say that
they can feel the heat jusc before they

ten miles on each side of the city the
snow appears to be several inches deep

it is said that there are six inches of
snow."
Now, as a matter of fact the Demo

snow on the ground than Albany, that
beginning at Harrisburg it was as deep
