The Electric Railways are Also in Opera
tiOn, But are Held Back by the
Borough Councils orders.

The backbone of the blizzard seems to
be effectually broken and railway and |
other business is once more on the move. |
Belated travellers are arriving in and de-
parting from the town, and in day or
two all branches Of business will have
assumed the shape they had before the
blizzard interfered.
Railway connections to all points on
the Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia & Read
ing aud Pennsylvania railroads were
opened this morning. The lines were
open to many points yesterday, but
travellers were rot given lany assurances
that they would reach their destinations
without inconvenience.

from Pottsville to this town Saturday
night, the train leaving the former place
at ten o'clock,
The Lehigh VALLEY Railroad Company
ran passenger train from Shamokin to
town Saturday afternoon. 1t brought
several people who left here on Thursday
TO attend the Westervelt funeral at Trev
erton.
The same company early yesterday
morning ran a train to town from Delano
for the benefit of residents of this place
who work at the shops in Delano and who
remained snow-bound at the latter place
since Thursday.
The P. & R. Railroad Company had a
wreck crew at work all day yesterday at
the Cambridge colliery crossing removing
the tank and engine wrecked there on
Saturday.
The Lehigh Valley line north of Delano
was declared open this morning. To
accomplish this five engines and a snow
| plow were kept busy all day yesterday
At one place the plow jumped the track
and went over an embankment, disap
pearing from sight in the snow. The
plow was not missed at the time it
disappeared and the crew had some
difficulty in recovering it.
To-day tickets for all points were being
sold at the depots of all the railroads.

The electric railways have recovered
from the effects of the storm with much
better success than was expected. The
Lakeside Railway Company succeeded in
running its cars as far as Bowers street,
in this town, by eleven o'clock yesterday
morning, and the Schuylkill Traction
) Company ran several cars up to Gloyer's
Hill.
The cars of both lines would have run
to the end of their lines in town had not
Chief Burgess Burns interfered to enforce
the resolution of the Borough Council
relative to the cleaning of snow
from the tracks. The Burgess refused
TO allow the companies to run their
cars through the streets until they
made the roads safe. He would not
allow them to throw the snow to
the sides of the tracks in heaps, as il
would make the roads dangerous foI
vehicles.N The Lakeside Railway Com
r pany overcame the objection by the us'
of large snow shovel drawn by team
of horses. The Schuylkill Traction Com
a pany disregarded the notice. The Dor
D ough authorities put gang of mel
4 at work this morning at thu
a upper end of Coal street shoveling bacl
snow that had been thrown off the track
While they were doing this gang of tn
company's men were shoveling snqT OF
n the track at the lower end of Coal stree
n Chief Burgess Burns gave orders that a
d snow taken from the track should
7, carted away, and said he would arrest an
Il man who would run n car through Il
d streets before the order was compile
d with. The Burgess went down to Girar'
ss Vile to give personal notice to the man
n gers of the road. The result of his tri
ID has not been learned.
