Another Inclement Sunday.

Yesterday was another of a series Of
inclement Sundays, and as a large per-
centage of the community is suffering
from colds but few people were seen on
the streets. The effect was marked upon
church congregations and the voices OF
the preachers reverberated around many
empty pews. In the early morning hours
snow began to fall, and there was every
indication that it would continue to do
SO for the remainder Of the day, or prob
ably until this morning. In few hours,
however, the snow ceased and was sue
ceeded by hail and later by rain. Sleet
was formed and the meteorological condl-
lions were very much akin to some st.
Patrick Day weather save there was no
thunder or lightning. People who were
fortunate enough to have fires remained
by them. About the close of the day
cleaing conditions set in and the wealth
er during the night became clear and
cold. This morning there was consider
able ice ON the sidewalks and many pc
destrians were forced to walk in the
streets

The weather and the River.

While the weather last night was
frigid, the mercury stood, at zoo this
morning, 8 degrees above that reported
some mornings last week. The river,
however, froze from shore to shore, and
more ice formed than at any time during
the present winter. The Norfolk
steamer arrived on time Notwithstanding
the head winds, and she broke up the
ice in the channel. On the flats, in the
docks and creeks, however, the cakes
were heavy and in places one had piled
upon another and formed thick strata.
The scene around the docks was dismal,
the tide having fallen and left broken
piles encased in ice. The steamer had
long icicles hanging from their paddle
boxes and guards.

Traffic Interrupted.

Traffic on the electric railway was
seriously interrupted Saturday from the
fact that satisfactory current could
not be obtained from the Fonr-mile run
power house. The trouble is said to
have been caused by the inferior quality
of coal used which failed to generate a
sufficient amount OF steam. The rail-
way officials say it was the best fuel
they could Obtain. Yesterday 1t was
necessary to abandon trains and run
the cars singly.
