Had Narrow Escape.

When the factory was reached il was
found that the starved out workmen
had gone out in the storm i'm search of
provisions. They left the scraped dishes
of the morning meal behind to tell the
story Of their flight On the journey out
Platt and Aylesworth encountered a
fallen tree, some mammoth snowdrifts.
and the sleigh came within an ace OF
being crushed by a big elm which
came down Just in front of them They
were forced TO get out three times and
shovel the pair OF horses out of drifts.
The driver was overcome with expo
sure, and a stop was made to revive
him. The attempt to relieve the snow
bound quintet cost $50. The three miles
were covered both ways in six hours.
The indications are that IL VIII take n
day or two before all the street car lines
are reopened for travel, and the sub
urban lines Will take even longer. The
new Taunton line is worse off than any
other. and over in Rehoboth the situa-
tion Is something startling. A Taunton
car was stalled out in the woods Satur-
day night and the passengers were
forced tn get out and walk. The Ia
borers about the city yesterday declined
to shovel snow for the city unless they
received $3.50 day. The city offered
only 10 cents an hour, and not a single
street was cleaned The Union rail-
road company offered the men the usual
rate, but the laborers insisted upon
double time for Sunday, and the rails
remained under cover.

In Western Rhode Island.

In western Rhode Island the storm
was a fearful one, and IL was as bad as
any known since the great blizzard of
1888. Not car nor a railroad train ran
into Norwich oil day. From Scituate
the report came that the drifts were
from 10 to IL feet high i'm the open road
ways and In some OF the villages the
patches were not broken. No Sunday
newspapers arrived in the western
towns yesterday. There was some dam
age along the shores OF Narra9ansett
bay, and various small craft went on
the beaches. Communication with the
south shore was cut off after IL o'clock
Saturday night. The storm at Block
Island was one of the worst i'm years
The wind blew over 20 miles an hour
and the snowfall gave the islanders the
extraordinary pleasure of sleigh ride
during the height OF the storm yester-
day noon. A big four -rnasted schooner
went scuddlng past the island very
close i'm. under bare poles. The ship
was having rough time, but signalled

A happy event of this week was tht
celebration on Wednesday of the COLDER
wedding anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs
William Nelson Tunis at the home il
Whippany, parents of Mrs. George W
Pavie and Mrs. E. P. Byram. About
twenty-fv relatives were present tc
congratulate the much esteemed couple
and present to them golden gifts il
memory of the occasion. The following
poem, written by a very dear friend, was
sent to Mr.. and Mrs. Tunis:
feel must, kind friends and true,
Just send line of love and greeting,
And in few words express to you,
How glad [ am your friends are meeting.
And by their presence and good cheer
They celebrate with pleasure ripe
This golden anniversary year,
This fifty years of welded life.
One sweet. bright presence you will miss,
The darling boy so dear to all;
You cannot have his loving kiss.
You cannot his dear form recall.
But, from his happy home above,
He sends greeting too ween,
His heart was ever full of love.
And tho unspoken and unseen,
His spirit hovers near.
And when your blessings you recall,
Thank God for Arthur's life of love;
He left sweet memories to all,
He waits to welcome you above
And may thy years pass gently on
Till time and scenes shall be no more,
Till called from earth and all its scenes,
To meet him on the golden shore.

JOHN EDWARD TAYLOR.
After full and interesting discussion,
it was agreed, on the motion of DIR.
Hughes, that the committee should make
inquiry into the causes why certain chill
dren between the ages of five and eigh-
teen did not attend school.
Mrs Erdman reported for the Commit
fee on the Elevation of the Poor in their
Homes. that in four months it has col
lected $459.s3; it had nine new savers
and the savings showed a gain of $22 as
compared with the same last year. She
reported some very interesting instances,
mentioning that the star saver was an
old colored man between 81 and SO years
old. She also spoke of the case of colored
woman who for years handed her savings
to the collectors, but was now in great
need. Out of her savings from time to
time she paid off by installment mort
gage on her home. Her husband died
recently, willing the property which his
wife had paid for to a distant relative.

Our want of school accommodation is al

room would have sufficed some time since.
The accommodations have of late been in
sufficient, but the enlargement of the Speed

hold forty or fifty scholars, will remedy the
evil for some years. The census gives the
