THE STREET RAILWAYS.

The snow was exceedingly fine. 1t
was frozen solid, and for that reason
did not stay long in one place, and
drifts changed their positions every
hour. Men in the employ of the city
and the Consolidated Street Railway
Company were out bright and early
with shoyels and teams. The men
shoveled for dear life all day long, and
the horses carried away load after load
of the snow, but in exposed places the
work was almost useless as the wind
laughed heartlessly, as it whizzed back
into the streets tons of the silYery
flakes, and when the gangs of men
changed their positions the wind ap-
peared to also change, and the battle
between the elements, and the shovel
ers and teamsters continued until the
shades of night settled down upon the
surroundings.
reach their destination as the trolley
lines that run in and out of the city
were stalled early in the day and ran
over one or two of the lines at inter-
walls until shortly after the dinner hour,
when all of them were tied up in a per-
feet knot with the exception of the
main street line over which the big
Grafton cars and the plows and sweep
ers ran and kept the road partly open
The Consolidated lines were tied in a
knot quite early in the morning. The
big Grafton line cars started out from
the Market street barn on schedule
time. Two cars made one trip which
was said by the men to be one of the
hardest trips they had ever taken The
cars got within 800 feet Of the end of
the tracks at Grafton and could not
push themselves through the drifts,
which the men said were five, six and
seven feet high in places. The Off
Gals decided to take the cars off the
Grafton line at 10 o'clock, and they
were transferred to the Main street
line. and during the rest of the after
noon were employed pushing one, two
and in some cases three of the smaller
cars from Lincoln square to Webster
square.
All the plows and sweepers owned
by the company darted over the differ
ent lines from early morn until late
in the afternoon. The officials thought
that the backbone of the storm was
broken shortly after noontime, and sent
out gangs of men to shovel and sew
eral teams to cart away the snow
Their attempt was not a decided sue
cess as the severity of the storm in
creased gradually, and before night
fall the men were called in from their
work.
At different times during the day.
cars were stalled on all the lines for
short or long intervals. The snow
froze solid to the rails. and the wheels
could not get any hold and they spun
round like tops, while the cars stood
perfectly rigid
| The Greendale and Quinsigamond line
was kept open during the daytime. No
attempt was made to run on schedule
time, and people waited along the line
and said real naughty things about the
weather, the snow and the trolley COM
| panies.

Trouble from frozen hydrants. re-
eardlng which so much has been heard
from other cities, is not anticipated to
any extent in Worcester. There have
oeen no reports as yet of frozen mains,
and so long as this condition of affairs
exists there is likely to be little trouble
with the hydrants.
The Chapman valve hydrant in use
mere permits no water to remain in the
hydrant proper after the valve connec-
ting with the main is closed. In some
instances the drip which is supposed to
take care Of the water left in the hy-
Grant after use, becomes clogged and
the water fails to escape, but these
cases are rare, only one such having
been reported in Worcester for sew
eral years.

BREAKING THE BONDS
Boston and Albany PIows Begin the Work
of Excavation.

Early in the evening, orders came
from the Boston and Albany office at
Boston to hold everything in Worcester
except the train from New York, which
could follow the snow pillow to Boston
The pillow came up from Boston early
yesterday afternoon, getting here be-
fore the train that was stalled in the
Deep Cut. 1t laid over in this city
until 12.45 o'clock last evening, when it
got a start and went back to Boston.
The New York train was then in the
Union station preparing to follow the
plow as soon as the latter got safe
distance ahead. The pillow was manned
by dozen men in addition to the reg
ular crew, in order to shovel out what
ever drifts the plow could not be forced
through. Two monster engines pushed
the pillow ahead, the men riding in the
car to which the pillow was attached.
Train Dispatcher Dewey and a gang
OF Workmen numbering about 80, got
the plow out. They had to shovel
many times, as the snow kept drifting
up about the plow, and it could move
only few feet at a time. The start
was made from the Grafton street
crossing. the plow running on the south
main track south Of the Union station.
When it reached a point about oppo-
site the west end of the Union station.
the last big drift was cut through. and
the plow went along rapidly. It went
out OF sight down the yard in a few
minutes.
