THE STORM AND ROADS.
Electric and Steam Trains Getting Into
Shape Again.

Yesterday the Portland Railroad COM
pany had 66 teams and over two hundred
men at work getting the city, Deering
and Westbook lines into shape. Cars were
running on the Congress Street line In
the morning, and the red cars got down
Middle street in the afternoon. Mr.. New
man, the general manager, said that by
night the Spring street cars would be also
running but only as far as the post office.
On the out of town lines cars were run
ming in the afternoon. Neither there nor
in the city were they running on schedule
time, but they gave great accommodation
to the extent that they were run.
The city departments were busily at
work, Super intendent Staples had fifteen
city teams and forty hired teams, en-
ploying one hundred men carting off the
snow Some of the trains on the steam
roads terminating in Portland cancelled
some of their trains but, as a rule, trains
came through all right from three quarters
of an hour to an hour and half late.
The morning train over the Western
division from Boston was one and half
hours late. No. 13, from Boston, over
the Eastern division was cancelled. No.
40 from Boston due at II. SO arrived at .55
p. m.
Over the Rochester there WAS little de-
lay. The train from Worcester got in at
ais p. IN. three.quarters of an hour late.
The Mountain division train that
stopped at Bartlett, Tuesday night, came
in yesterday morning. There is not much
snow above Bartlett. This side of Bart
lett the snow was light and the train
didn't have a hard time getting here.
The train was due at s.25 a. m. and got
inaat 9.5S.
The Grand Trunk train from Island
Pond due at LIS a. m. arrived at 1.20 p.
m. The road also sent out ten freight
trains
On the Maine Central the train from
Skowhegan and Pennington due 1928 p.
m. arrived at 1.50, and the Bangor R. P.
o. train due at 80 at 2 p. m.
The Cape Electrics did good work and
got other cars running to Pleasantdale
and South Portland.
Later in the day the trains ran on much
better time.
Miss Crosby, 'sFly Rod" was pas
senger ON the Boston and Maine train
that was out all night Tuesday ana didn't
get in until this morning. The pas
sengers were made comfortable and a
newsboy foraged for the passengers and
in doing so completely used up his
clothes. The passengers made up hand
some purse for him. Rev. DR.. Lyman
Abbott was passenger on the same
train.
The Westbrook liue would have been
open in the morning, but for an accident.
A car left the rails near Lucas's brick
yard, smashing one end of the car and
blocking the track. So it was necessary
to get the tools required to replace the car
on the rails and attend to that before do
ing anything else.
The Spring street electric line was run
ming from Pearl street to the car house
ON Spring street last night.
1t ia certain that splendid work was
done by the electric roads and city teams
in getting the tracks and reading into
such good condition in SO short Time

Day-JOaes. NuptIaIs.

A very quiet wedding was
consumated, last night at the
Christian church at the close of
the prayer meeting in which
the Rev. Arthur Jones officiat-
ed. The contracting parties
were A. L. Day and Miss Re-
becca Jones, both teachers in
two of our leading schools.
Mr.. Day being an active factor
in the school work at Hargrove
while his charming bride held a
similar station at Prof. Dun
laps school. The wedding last
night was only known to very
few and their entry into the
church last night at the close of
services and on this mission
was a great surprise to all.
1t is understood that Mr.. and
Mrs. Day will abide in Ard
more, and with their many
friends the ARDMoREITE extends
congratulations.

Rrann Renorted KIIled.

A rumor gained currency on
our streets this morning that
Brann of Waco, whose paper,
the Iconoclast, has been the
cause of so much trouble, was
killed, shot by some one Of his
enemies. An inquiry by the
operator at the exchange
brought the answer from Waco
that the report was unfounded.
Brann is billed for lecture in
ST. Louis tonight.
Later in the day a message
was "eceived by Dazey & Co.
from Belton, which is as fol-
lows: "A man named Keefe
was suing for divorce. This
morning he saw Adams. a liv-
eryman, driving his (Keefe's)
wife to Bolton. He overlook
them in the edge of Temple
and shot Adams"
1t is probable that this incl
dent was the occasion for the
Brann incident.

objects of Charity.

A few days ago the ARD
MoREITE mentioned the death
at Lone Grove of an old gentle
man named Reese. who died
from pneumonia, at the same
time stating the serious illness
of other members of the same
family. This family had just
moved from Navarro county.
Texas, and consisted of the old
gentleman. wife, grown son and
four little children. Cruel fate
seems to haunt the stricken
family, for last night the grown
son, thu only breadwinner for
the family. died of pneumonia.
This leaves four small chill
dren with their aged grand
mother alone upon the charities
of the people.

THE FIT. SMITH DISASTER
The storm Came Prom the Southwest
and Dealt Death and Destruction
~ on Every Side.

Fort Smith, Ark. Jan 1.-TWO
SEQ e of human life and upward of
s. ZOO, 900 worth of property was de
stroyed by terrible tornado, which
bu' st upon this city a few minutes
past IL O'Clock last night. The
storm struck near the national cem-
etery and tore its way through I'll
entire icity, leaving its path marke3
by death and desolation. Men, We
men and children, peacefully asleep
in their homes, were without a mo
ments warning, awakened to a horri-
BILE death in the fearful storm, while
others momentarily more fortunate
anG who escaped the furies OF the
wind met a far worse fate a few mo-
mepts later in the flames which, soon
engulfed many of the wrecked build
ings.
The city was crowded with rural
visitors, many of whom were sleep
ing at boarding houses unregistered.
For this reason the number of vic
Tins of last night may never be def
nitely known.
The storm struck near the national
cemetery and swept it's way
through the heart of town.
Leaving Fort Smith it bounded by
Van Buren and ,ntinueG down the
river, demolishing everything in its
path. News from outside points is
not yet at hand, but rumors of much
damage as far south as Alma have
reached here, it being reported that
a number of persons were Tiled near
that place
The scene is one of the most ap-
palling and destructive ever witness
ed in the history of the city and is
without parallel in this section Of
the southwest.
