While there has been decided improve
ment In the weather conditions since
yesterday, ana while people are gradually
beginning 10 think about coming down
street" once more, still transportation
facilities, either by electrics or by steam,
are by no means adequate, and it will
probably be some time before everything
Is again running on schedule time.
Railway travel on the New York, New
Haven 81 Hartford Railroad Is beginning
to look much better, and the Boston
trains all managed to reaoh this city last
night, although every train was from
one to two hours late. The local trains
between Providence and Lonsdals aud on
the lines to East Greenwich and Oak
land Beach are running fairly we'll today,
although not exactly on schedule. The
service to New Yosk and Boston Is be-
ing kept up as well as possible. and the
officials OF the company in this city te-
lieve that by this evening every thing
will be going along pretty we'll.
The Uaion kailroa1 Company has
done some great work TO Bccommo odate
its patrons, and gangs of men anu elec-
trio plows have been constantly at work
endeavoring to clear the principal lines,
and the efforts are being crowned with
some, II not entire, success. Yesterday
afternoon Manager Potter started few
cars between Turks Head anu Olneyville
on the Weztmi nster street. route ana one
car was put In molten on the Cranston
street line, running about once An hour,
only one track being In use. The Paw
tucket cars were also started last oven.
ing, anu this morning cars were running
az frequently as possiDle on tie Olney-
vile, CranstcD. Elmwood, Pawtucket Gas
far as Pidge aveDue) and Broad street (as
far as Thurters ayenus) routes. Large
gangs of men are at work nil over the
city shoyelinR the snow from the tracks
and Manager Potter hopes TO have things
In pretty good shape by this evening.

of his constitutional rights, and that we
deny the right of any public officer, in
