Senator Cummins Will Hereafter Visit the Old Folks in the Summer Time.
[United Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON, Penna., Nov. 11.
The next time Senator Albert B. Cummins runs down Waynesburg way to visit the folks, he will likely choose the good old summer time.
"Why, conditions here are worse than I have ever experienced in any western blizzard," he said, arriving here today, after being snow bound with ninety other passengers three miles south of this place.
The train, a two coach affair, on the Washington and Waynesburg narrow gauge line, stuck in a drift on Sunday. It was finally pulled out this morning. And with four engines at the head plowed the three miles to this city in an hour and ten minutes.
Senator Cummins, who was visiting his father and old friends left for Washington, D. C., after a brief stay here.
