CARBONDALE SWEPT
BY ANOTHER BLIZZARD
Storm Less Severe Than Few
Weeks Ago, Fills the Roads and
Traffic--Railroads Have Troubles.

Billiards. in this neck o woods ap-
pear 10 be as plentiful as eleventh
hour campaign lies and abuse.
Carbondale had another sood-sized
one yesterday, and though it was not
endowed with as much vitality as the
one which blizzarded this way Il few
Sundays ago and made the town look
like "a trail in the Klondike, neverthe
less it was wild enough to make heaps
of trouble. In its wake was interfer
cnce of travel on the railroads enter
ing Carbondale. while the country
roads, which We're partially blocked
since the last blow of the cold winds,
were hidden under the drifts by which
Old Boreas amused himself at laboring
during the day
The storm began yesterday forenoon
with light furry of snow that grew
in strength until noon, when the air
was filled with whirling snow that al
most hid the buildings of the town. The
blow increased, sending the falling
snow in drifts here and there, filling
doorWays and Dorches, and blocking
sidewalks and other places of daily
travel. where there should be sidewalks
and will be some day, perhaps, if coun-
ellis are willin.
The storm ragged north and west OF
Carbondale, and showed its power in
impeding the movements of railroad
trains. AS usual, the Ontario and
Western suffered the most. the drifts
sweeping into the cuts on the noun
tain choking the paths of trains. The
passenger train due here from Cadosia
at o'clock was an hour and a half
late. Along Poyntelle on the summit
of the mountain, was where the most
trouble was met with. On the Homes
dale branch Of the Delaware and Hud-
son the engines had to puff to the limit
to get through on schedule time. The
storm also affected the Erie and the
trains on the Nineveh branch.
Throughout the city there was little
travel, for il was one of the most Sc
we're days of the year. Snow blew into
ones face from the time he set out
until his journeys end. The sensation
of the snow striking the exposed per-
son was like needles priciing the skin.

"sAID PASHA" WE'LL SUNG.
Columbia Opera Company Makes a
Good Impression at the Grand.

The Columbia Opera company opened
a weeks engagement very favorably
at the Grand last evening, by singing
with spirit and finish said Pasha,"
the opera with the Oriental suggestion
and flavor
The company, as a whole, is capable,
while several of the cast can claim
good deal of merit and praise. Con-
spicuous among the latter is Charles
n. Holmes, as Serrano, the Mexican
nobleman. He has an exceedingly
sweet, vigorous tenor voice, with
manly and robust stage appearance
to accentuate his worth.
Claude Amsden, the comedian, who
has been heard ana enjoyed by Car
bondale audiences before, when he was
with the Waite company, was very en-
tertaining. In Edward Dillingham;, as
Nockey, he has u good foil for his fun
making. John A. Dewey was Il Yigor-
GUS Pasha, with an enjoyable droll and
humorous side, and Miss Carlotta Gill
man was quite attractive as Serena,
the Pasha's daughter. Miss Gilman
has soprano voice of sweetness and
power, which she can use intellgently,
while she has charm of manner that
makes her work most acceptable. The
choruses We're we'll given and We're
factor in rounding out an acceptable
production. Between the acts, the time
was pleasantly passed by the audience
in watching dlssolving views,
The company made hit with the
big audience that crowded the theater,
and there is no doubt that there will
be big audiences all week to enjoy the
pleasing and creditable work of the
company.
Fra DiaVola," the opera which is
filled with sweetest music, will be sung
tonight The Dempsey Sisters, who
are clever dancers, Will appear be-
tween the acts.

BELL TAKEN AWAY.
Accused Forger Goes to Honesdale
in Constable Neary's Charge.

George Bell, the man who had the
temerity to cast blemish on the rural
record of Eonesdale by passing a
forged check, was taken to Honesdale
yesterday morning. He was in the GUS
tody of Constable Neary, the officer
who distinguished himself in arresting
Bell, after he had given the slip to the
Lafe Smiths of the Chestnut borough.
Bell, who put up Il bold front when
arrested and told flbs like the principal
character in a farce-comedy, wilted be-
fore he left Carbondale and acknow1-
edged that he was the man whom the
Honesdalians sought. His prevarica-
tions can be excused on the ground that
he was under the delusion that the
town across the Moosics, where he
came from, was the only place on the
maa.
Bell received but $50 on the forged
check of $13, and when arrested he had
$23 on his person, having spent $12. Bell
could hardly be given Il reward OF merit
in his Sunday school class, for in his
pockets We're several grossly obscene
pictures.
