Special to the Garctte
a TEXAS SNOW STORM.
GALVESTON, TEX, Jan. ~, 49, The
islanders were treated 10 another rare
surprise to-day. About midnight last
night light snow began to fall As 1t
approached daylight the little flakes ca
panded and fell thicker and faster until
at O'Clock the air was filed with mil
lions of shining flakes, and many Young
sters Witnessed for the first time In their
mundane existence the phenomenon OF a
genuine snow storm. The enthusiasm
was not confined TO the young folks by
any means, for 1t seemed as IL the entire
population turned out this morning to
enjoy the novelty. BY 10 O'Clock fully
six inches had fallen, and in many places
IL was drifted to the depth OF foot
or fifteen inches. Toward noon the
heavens cleared, the atmosphere began
to moderate aud perfect carnival set in
along the principal thoroughfares. 1t
seemed as though every mau and hoy in
town was engaged In the rough and tum-
bic sport of snow-balling On the various
street.corners were crowds of sturdy men,
some OF themIin their shirt-sleeves, eager
| ly bombarding their foes across the street.

from the other side, when the great
crowd would witness the two combatants
as they chucked snow, slush and mud all
over one another Finally the recruits
come TO the rescue of each champion
and in a twinkling hundred men
are pitching dirty snow at each other,
