| WORK OF THE STORM.
The storm of Monday played sad
havoc with communications on the
Warren, Brookfeld and Spencer electric
railroad. The car which left Spencer at
Ii o'clock Monday night, was stalled
! midway between Spencer and this place.
! There was a party of nine on board,
who had been attending a lecture at
| Spencer, ana were obliged to remain In
the car ali night. They did not suffer
! much beyond the Inconvenience of sit
ting up as the car was comfortably
warm. At an early hour Tuesday morn
ing Supt. Jefts, with a gang Of so men
and snow pillow, went actively to work
and succeeded in getting the car as far
as the Peters place, where the belated
party had breakfast. Previous to this
one of the party started on foot to Ho-
tel Pilgrim and informed W. ]. Wizard
who Immediately sent a sleigh for two
young ladies' who were on the car. 1t is
expected that the line will be open be-
tween Spencer and BrooAlfeld Wednes-
day morning and to Warren also, al
though a number of bad drifts are re.
ported between West Brookfield aild
Warren. The first train from the east
on the B. & A. did not arrive here until
/ o'clock p. N. The town has severa
heavy teams employed breaking out the
roads, and a large number of men are
at work,
