ALMOST SNOW BOUND.
The Town Hidden Under a Mantle of
White--Nine Inches of Snow
Fall--More Floods Feared

The trite saying from the frying pan
into the fire." semes to fit well in de-
| scribing the conditions, atmospheric,
| climatic, meteorological, likewise and
otherwise, of the city of Carbondale.
| There was considerable rejoicing over
| the passing of the flood of a few days
| ago, but this jubilation was short lived
| for yesterday morning Il snow fall be-
gan hereabouts that continued with
business air until people were ready to
eat their supperS last night. BY this
time nine inches of snow, it was esti-
mated, had fallen. The measurement
was made where it was level and where
there was little if any drifting. Nine
inches was not the depth of the snow in
every place. In some places it was
two and three feet, drifted by the wind
that cavorted around roofs and CHM
ney tops and whirled this way and
that, making whirlwinds of snow that
fairly blinded pedestrians and made
them blame the weather man as if he
was the guilty man. Like after the
preceding quasi-blzzalals of the year
the town was manteled in white last
night; sidewalks We're choked with
snow and roadWays were blocked. The
snow drifts on Main street that re-
niained after the thaw and rain of
last week looked like the snow forts
that the school boys can make when
the spirit of industry, mixed with mis-
chief, possesses him. The railroads,
however, suffered little, if at all, from
the storm. All the Delaware and Hud-
son trains were moved without delay
and the Ontario and Western eXper-
fenced no trouble.
The great fall of snow made the suf-
farers of last week fearful of flood un-
easy, for they became apprehensive of
Il return performance of the angry ele- |
ments. The uncertainty of the wealth |
er would lead one to expect almost any |
kind of storm and if there should be |
q climax to this snow fall like the one |
of last weel., there will be a sad repe- |
tition of history. The extensive water |
shed on the West Side was only half |
relieved Of snow when yesterdays |
storm set in. Now there is almost as |
great Il quantity of snow as before the |
rain of last week which would once |
more convert the sluggish Brooklyn |
creek into n formidable stream.
