country. The club is a model one, having
for its object the instruction in and the real
practice in parliamentary rules, making
men acquainted with the questions of the
day in discussions, lectures, etc., which
make for themselves lasting impression.
The influence and popularity Of the club is
so great that on this evening the limited
membership list was made greater and even
then, as always has been the case, many
are waiting their turn for admission. Many
of the members are young lawyers and bus
mess men of the city and truly their club
is model one and worthy Of the example
of other young men. The young men Of
this place certainly have taken step in the
right direction IN their young mems club.

THE STORM LOCALLY.

A heavy fall of snow and terrific wind
Monday and Monday night brought the
worst storm of the season and in some re-
spects the worst since the famous storm Of
1888. Business and travel were paralyzed
and it was not until last night that anything
like the normal was established. Yester-
day morning Bellows Falls was snowbound I;
houses and trees were covered with snow
lodged by the driving wind; huge drifts
were piled across the streets and side
walks, in fact the street commissioner and
large force of men were kept busy most
of the day.
The blockade of the country roads wa,
extensive. The Alstead stage reached
town about 9 A. NJ, yesterday but it was
after IL o'clock before the Saxtons River
stage made its appearance and at that time
nothing had been heard from the towns
beyond Saxtons River. There was a big
drift near II. NJ. Towards and large
force of men were kept busy most of the
day shoveling through four feet OF snow fol

FierceSt Storm in II Years.

The bowling blizzard of Monday is con-
ceded to be the worst storm that has visited
this section since March, 1888. Western
Massachusetts was practically showed
under as well as New Hampshire, Vermont
and part of New York. 1t began in New
York Saturday night and continued with
undated violence Sunday and was, SO
meteorologists say, the combined effect Of
the blending of two storms-one from the
Gulf of Mexico and the other from the
Northwest. All the Sound steamers were
tied up and no out-of-town mails were re-
ceived at New York city with the excep-
ton of two early morning consignments
from Boston.
There is some danger of bread famine
in New York city, if the storm continues
This is not due to the fact that there is moi
q sufficient amount of flour in various ware
houses, but because OF the impossib;lity Of
having it delivered. This would be most
severely felt in the East-side tenement dis
tricts whose bakers buy flour 10 small
quantities, most of which is for immediate
use. There is q daily delivery by the flour
merchants to these bakeries, and owing to
the impossibility to get flour to them yes.
terday the bakers had to fall back on re.
tail merchants for the supply. This de-
mand on the retailers will diminish, if not
exhaust the supply of the grocers, 10 very
short time. 1t is then that trouble will be-
gin.
The Boston and Maine road had de.
cidedly the easiest time of the roads. They
kept their trains running Monday withou,
having train over an hour behind the
schedule, though yesterday it was diff
ferent story. At Springfield, Mass, dou-
ble-headers were the rule and the two big
locomotives, ice-coated and snow-covered,
showed marks of their contact with the
drifts. ; versl Of them had the pilot.

so frost covered as TO defy attempts of n,s-
sengers to observe what was going on out
side.
The blizzard ragged at Richmond, Va.
Monday in full force and vigor. 1t had
showed necessarily since Saturday alter
noon, and the thermometer registered only
six above zero Monday afternoon. The
snow dritted five and six feet deep in
places, and the suffering is intense. No
street cars or railroad trains are moving,
either in or out OF Richmond, and business
is at standstill. There is great fear of a
fuel famine, and the dealers can scarcely
deliver the most urgent orders. No
casualties are reported, but later develop
ments must show great suffering, if not loss
OF life, among the negroes and poorer
classes.
In many towns of Kentucky business has
been suspended and coal shortage is re-
ported from all parts OF the state. The
Ohio river is fast freezing. So far there
has been comparatively little suffering, but
if the cold weather continues any longer
there is certain to be great deal. The
coal supply is fast becoming exhausted.

Great Britain and the continent that regu-

There are never more than 300 or 400
