Annual suppcr-schooner Horace P. Shares in Trouble-ot Items.
 It was pretty generally conceded Sunday that the storm was the worst since the great blizzard of 1888. Satur- day night many people were out and were caught in the storm. The Fair Haven and Westville road had the toughest time since electric power was installed. The big plough was kept running Saturday night, but from Il D. m until 12;30 Sunday morning there was no communication to Fair Haven. A car left State and Chapel streets at 12:So and became stalled near Blatchley avenue. Finally a plough broke out the road ahead and the car got through with three other cars coupled together.
 The heavy wind piled the snow in great drifts and in some places it was even with the top of the fences. Travel over tho temporary bridge at East Chapel street was rather precarious Saturday night, and at one time the water flowed across the foot path
 The storm was so severe that not much was done in breaking paths until just before noon Sunday. The only church holding services on Sunday was St. Francis church. Several other churches were opened but there were no audiences.
 One of the Montowese cars was out all Saturday night. The car was effec- tually stalled, the carmen being obliged to remain with the car until Sunday morning. There was only one track open to the center of the city yesterday and in the morning cars were run only from the car house on Grand avenue. In the afternoon they were running as far as East Pearl street. Two cars were run in and out together switching off from the single track at the cross overs President Parmelee said yester- day that all of the branches would be running by tonight.
 No mails were received or dispatched from station A Sunday Carriers at tempted to collect mail from the boxes in the afternoon, but were compelled to give it up. Yesterday the carriers made their rounds, but it was pretty hard work delivering. tree to which a letter box was attached blew down vt the corner of Fairmount avenue and East Ferry street. The box was ir'cd in the snow but carrier succeeded in rescuing the mail matter.

Miss Elsie and Leila Buckingham, Miss Grace Sims. Messrs Coxeter, Rob- erts, Adams, Baker and Buckingham. A fine collation. was served during the evening. the rooms being decorated tastefully with ferns, palms and flowers in profusion.
 The proposition to give the poole Of Fair Haven the use of room in the basement of the Strong school building for library purposes, will be considered shortly Superintendent Kendall has made the suggestion to the board of ed- ucation and the library board will con- sider the plan as to whether they would co-operate in the matter, at their meet ing tomorrow evening.
