FROM
NEW CASTLE.


When New Castle people went tc
their doors on Saturday morning
they found the earth covered with
a mantle of snow. The covering
was thick enongh topromise repc-
tition Of the great blizzard of a year
ago. 1t had been showing steadily
since about nine clock in the even.
ing previous and many OF the
weather wise promised general
tie up of the city's transportation
facilities.
Those who were down town i'm
mcdiately made arrangements to
60 home home as soon as the incip-
lent storm gathered force. Despite
the sombrc sky, the continued fall
OF soft flakes and the drifting wind,
velremained comparatively open.
With the experience of February
1899, fresh in their memory, the Of
1cials of the Wilmington and New
Castle Electric railway company
set to work. They fitted the cars
with snow scrapcrs that kept the
rails clear and thereby prevented
snow IRON clogging on the wheels.
The crews worked faithfully at
their posts and looked after the
comfort of the public. Conductor
McCallin saved Ignatius Mushow-
witch on Saturday night from being
frozen to death. lie found the man
1vipr in :, crnry drift oa,r lrl,,,
Park. As the man WAS benumbed
by The exposure he took him to Will
min2ton where he turned him over
10 the police. He was given a
change Of clothing and allowed to
remain in warm cell over night.
Going one way was easy enough,
ifonc did not mind slipping, but
when it came TO beating back
against the wind, with the snow
driving in the face and the cruel
wind making efforts to steal one $
hat and spoil the looks Of the hair,
most OF these ventureSomc maldcns
gave up the contest in disgust and
went home by the quickest route,
III spite o. the fact that they knew
their dresses had never been more
beconnw.
