THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW. t.
FIVE AND THREE-TENTHS
INCHES FELL YESTERDAY.
First Snow Storm of the Winter
Swept Over the City-Effects
on Traffic.

For the first time this winter the
snow king yesterday had his innings
During the greater part of the day the
atmosphere was full of bits of wet
CONCEALED moisture. which stuck to gar
ments with bulldog tenacity, and gave
the city streets the whited appearance
which one usually associates with an
ideal Christmas day.
During the day there was a total fall
Of $40 inches, which is about as
much of "the beautiful" as fell during
the entire winter prior to Sunday. For
the first time the merry clinkle of the
sleigh bell was heard, and fast little
cutters dashed along the streets all
day. The weather proved "a Godsend
to the small boy. Little Tommics and
Willies seemed to spring from out the
inmost depths of the earth, and armed
with shovels made generous offers to
'clean yer walks. Only ten cents,
ma'am.'
Not only these industrious youths but
also their more malevolently inclined
brethren were made happy, for the
snow was good to pack" and all day
long the weary pedestrians was forced
to grin and bear it as numerous snow
balls whizzed through the air. Dur
Ing the morning the snow interfercd
considerably with traffic on the Scran-
ton Railway company's lines, and it
was found necessary to reduce the SER
vice on several of the lines during the
day. owing to the fact that the cars
could not be run on the regular sched-
ule. The Green Ridge and Dunmore
Suburban and South Side lines We're
the only ones affected, and those only
during the violent storm in the morn
ing.
Traffic on the railroad lines was not
delayed to any visible extent Train 2S
from the Buffalo division. which usual
ly reaches the Lackawanna station at
s o'clock. was delayed thirty minutes
last night.

sEELEY HAS QUIT WORK.
Street Car Company Will Look After
His Interests.

The case of Frank Seeley. the street
car employe who has been the bone of
contention between the union and the
street railway company ever since the
close of the strike. has now been ef-
fectually settled and Sunday Seeley
quit work.
AS will be remembered, Seeley ana
Charles Keller were the only men who
worked during the strike. Keller was
never q member of the union. but
Seeley continued to man a car. despite
the fact that he had Joined the as
ISOLATION. The final treaty between
President Clarke and the car en-
ployes contained stipulation that
Keller be taken care of by the men
and Seeley by the company.
Keller has been admitted TO the
union. and Seeley will probably be
taken to Philadelphia and there given
employment by the company.

Emporia for awhile but when told of
the wonderful opportunities offered at
this point for people who wished to aid
the city in improving her streets with
broken rock, they decided that the west
was really the place after all and were
last seen running down the yards after
a departing train denouncing Emporia
