1t was a surprise to nearly everybody to
wake up last Sunday morning and lind the
better part of foot of new snow on the
ground, and the storm still in full progress
1t ceased by noon, however, and the sky
cleared before nightfall To the south the
storm was very severe and in some respects
was as disastrous as the great blizzard of
three years ago The entire telegraph. tel
ephone and electric light service of the
greater part of New England, of New York
city and Brooklyn, New Jersey, Philadel-
Phla, Washington, and the intermediate
country, was completely demoralized The
storm began with rain changing TO snow.
and in this damp state it chung to the wires
converting them into great cables of snow
and producing weight that neither wires
nor poles could resist. Immense poles of
% or W feet in height, carrying hundreds
OF wires, crashed into the streets, and in
some cases did serious damage to the build
lngs upon which they fell All communica-
ton by wire was cut off during the whole
OF Sunday. The loss to the telephone and
telegraph companies will reach hundreds of
thousands of dollars In some cases whole
lines were destroyed and will have IN be
entirely rebuilt. In the city of Washing
ton and its vicinity alone not less than
thousand poles were broken down. The
storm is what is known as a coast storm,
beginning on Saturday near the gulf in the
form of heavy rain and changing TO snow
as 1t sped to the north Its worst damage
was done in a belt of about 30 miles breadth
along the sea coast. At some points in
southern New England fall of Is inches
OF snow was reported. Once more Brattle-
boro and its vicinity proves to be a favored
locality in the light touch received from
such disastrous visitations.

Frank Gould, a New London Northern
brakeman, was hurt while coupling cars at
Amherst Wednesday afternoon, and mar
rowly escaped being instantly killed, as so
many thousands of brakemen have been
lnder similar circumstances. He was
taught in the chest between the hunters of
TWO cars and badly squeezed and was dis

hat the injury will not prove serious. He
was brought TO Brattleboro by the evening
rain, and taken TO Mrs. G. H. Kendall's,

The large audience of the sterner sex
which gathered at the town hall last Friday
evening expecting TO see in the Clemenceau

disappointed. The performance was en-
lrely proper in character, and the opera
'lasses were laid aside when liza, the model,
appeared in her winter costume. The pos
ng was in reality one of the best parts of
he performance, but the play was weak as
whole.
