Steam Road Running
on Schedule Time.
SUBURBAN CLOSED,
Little Effort to Clear Rail
Beyond Leicester.

Spencer, Feb. 15.-Spencer this morn
ton with the outside world. The .Wor-
cester s. Suburban electric cars, how
ever, are still tied up. This is not the
case with the Warren, Brookfield and
Spencer road, for the rails We're cleared
from East Brookfield to the residence
of E. E. Dlckerman, lower Main street,
at o'clock last evening. Early this
morning the shovelers again began
work so that by the middle of this fore
noon car was able to run as far as
shovelers arrived at this point they
were sent back beyond Brookfield. The
Warren, Brookfield and Spencer cars
have been running regularly nearly all
day from Brookfield to Spencer and will
undoubtedly be able to make the whole
trip to West Warren by tomorrow
night.
On the other hand the Worcester and
Suburban officials have devoted all the
energies to the accommodation of the
Worcester and Leicester people. No
move up to tonight had been made to
clear the Spencer end of the road with
the exception of sending a siX-horse
scraper over the rails to partially knock
down the snow. Shovelers will be
obliged to go over the whole of the road
nevertheless. 1t is doubtful If Spencer
people will be able to get to Worcester
by electrics before Friday. The Boston
Il Albany branch train has been able
to make it's regular trips all day, so
that the mails arrived in town nearly
on time
At o'clock tonight the 200 sidewalk
shovelers under charge of Superinten-
dent of Street Kelly had succeeded in
getting the different sidewalks in town
cleared off. The road breaking gangs
have also been at work breaking out
the roads in the outlying districts.
Teams used for breaking roads today
were owned by S. D. Hobbs, Patrick
Cassidy, Erastus j. Starr E. P. Cutler,
Lewis D. Bemis Louis Freeman, Jos.
Dumas and Con Sullivan.
The lenten season commenced in all
the local Catholic churches today. In
both the Church of the Holy Rosary
and st. Mary's church, Ash Wednesday
was observed as holy day, but not a
holy day of obligation. A mass was
said in both churches at 7.30 o'clock this
morning, and ashes distributed to all
those who attended. A second service
was also held in both churches at 7.3O
this evening, at which each pastor
