ELECTRIC ROAD COMPLETELY TIED UP,
No Trips Made Over the Line Wednesday or
Yesterday Prospect Of Reaching West
Brattleboro To-day

There was change of over 80 de-
grees in the temperature during the "a
hours between Tuesday and Wednes-
day mornings, the former being one of
the coolest OF the season with the ther-
mometer nearly down to 20 below and
the latter as balmy as day in spring
with the mercury well above the freez-
ing point. The sudden change, ac-
companied as it was by a considerable
rainfall, turned Main street into quag-
mire of soft snow and slush, and COM
pletely tied up the street railroad.
When the snow plow left the car barn
on Pine street about O'Clock Wednes-
day morning it was found that ice and
slush covered the rails to depth of
several inches, and made progress al
most impossible. The plow followed
by car worked its way slowly down
toward Canal street. The falling rain
clung to the rails and made the track
behind the plow worse than that in
front, and it was only by dint of hard
work on the part of force of about a
dozen men that any headway could be
made. 1t was a matter of five hours
before the plow reached the Canal
street switch where it was stalled for
some time before it could be moved at
all.
The rails all along the line were SO
deeply encrusted with ice that in order
to start the plow it was necessary to
cut through the ice by hand. While
coming down Canal street hill to the
Main street switch the plow lost the
rails and ran nearly to the front of the
Brattleboro House before it could be
stopped. 1t took some time for the fol
lowing car to pull it back to the rails,
and by noon Wednesday the track had
been cleared as far as Halls restaurant
where the tired men took dinner. The
work continued slowly all Wednesday
afternoon and evening until by mid.
night the plow had reached the top of
High street hill Late last night the
tracks had been cleared as far as the
Centerville bridge and cars were max
ing trips back and forth with pros
pect of reaching West Brattleboro to-
day.
The tie-up has inconvenience a
large number of people and cost the
electric road considerable sum OF
money to say nothing OF the many
fares which might have been taken.
The mails between here and West Brat,
tleboro were carried Wednesday and
yesterday by one of c, S. Stockwell's
teams

On a glorious spring morning
toward the close of May 200 years
ago a momentous historic event took
place in very quiet way, with not
even chronicler to describe the de-
tails. Woodland, water and cloud
less sky formed the framework Of
the picture, the foreground of which
was occupied with a number of boats
sailing on the surface of broad river
and manned with warriors, fierce-look-
ing, oddly dressed and wrangling
among themselves in loud tones. They
were the famous "Bombardier" regi-
ment which had achieved feats of
prowess a few weeks before during
the battle with the Swedes, and their
captain" was the most imposing fig
ure of them all, sitting in the PROV of
a stout vessel ahead of the rest. The
weather was bright and bracing, and
the breeze caused the face of the blue,
broad Neva to wrinkle, as it lost
itself in the Finnish gulf. The cap
tain" stood with his back to the sea,
gazing at the smiling islands in front,
which were literally covered with
dense forests; indeed, had it not been
for the noisy tongued men on the
boats he might have fancied himself
in a country heretofore unvisited by
man. The whole district, Swedish
down to a couple of weeks before, had
been taken by the Russian
troops. The captain" now landed on
the most pleasantly situated and at
ractive of the islands, and, with

Car Guided by Eagle

few of his officers, was making his
way to the center when a curious
sound in the air above arrested his
attention.
Looking up he beheld a great eagle
tapping its wings noisily, soaring up
to a dizzy height and then swiftly des-
cending to a spot not far from where
he stood. He did not then know that
it was bird tanned by the men who
were wont to load the boats with TIM
Der, but looked upon it's appearance
as a good omen for his undertaking.
Selling a bayonet therefore, he cut
out two sods of the turf, placed them
one on the other like the beams of a
cross, then made a wooden cross from
two boughc and, pressing it into the
sods, exclaimed: I'm the name of
Jesus Christ, let there be church on
this spot, and let its name be those OF
the chief apostles, Peter and PAUL."
And it was all he had said. The
church, with it's golden spire, now
surmounts the terrible fortress in
which many political prisoners have
persisted miserably, and the city
around it is st. Petersburg, for the
Captain of the Bombardiers" was
Peter the Great.
Such is the legendary tale Of the
foundation of the northern Palmyra,
which is said to have been jotted
down by an officer Of the corps at
the time, and to have been laid in a
gold casket which still lies among the
of the fortress.

Cows as Gold Mines.

81 just read in a paper that a COW
swallowed $S5 in bills, and that the
owner Immediately had her butchered,
and got back $40 in currancy which
could be redeemed" said George w.
Westcott, drummer, at the Hotel
Pfster, "and that reminds me Of an
experience that friend of mine had
out in Denver with a COW which
consider little short of remarkable.
He had a large ranch on Clear
creek. just above Denver, and kept
quite q herd Of cattle there. Clear
creek, as you know, runs down from
Georgetown, through rich placer dis
trict, and brings with it all the wash
ings and tailings of the stamp mills,
which contain considerable gold In
fine state. In fact, there is so much of
it that people in Denver, when they
get hard up, can always pan out 81 a
day or so from the sands Of Clear
creek.
"Well, this COW that / started to tell
about had grazed along the bank of
the creek for good many years, and
was sort of a landmark about there,

proud of her on account OF the rich,

There was no apparent reason for
her dying, and SO he decided to have
postmortem to in1 out what was
the trouble. Well, he had a veterinary
cut her open, and he found that the
COW had been drinking the water of

her stomach had become incrusted
with gold dust about half an inch thick

Well. sir, it assayed IS to the pound,
and my friend found that the cows
stomach contained $10.75 worth of
gold. Now, as fast as his COWS die.
he takes the gold from their stom-
achs, and it has got to be quite an item
in his business. He is working on a

Fashions In Millinery.

Lace plays a very important part.
Long scarfs of lace and chiffon mingle
together, and both are frequently
worked with chenille. Beaver hats are
all the rage, and there is good deal
of the astrackhan trimming in various
hues, as well as black. There are
sable toques and plenty Of petit girls
and these are sometimes trimmed
with flowers, but the mixture is con-
gruous. 1t looks we'll with the fur
stoles of the same skin, lined with
ermine, and completed by a huge
grannie muff. The Persian HAITIAN is a
shape in hats which has been revived
and may possibly supplant the pres
ent Spanish toreador. These have a
handsome ornament, sometimes In
front, either paste or colored stones.
and when they are made in sable and
other good furs this gives great effect,
especially when white MORE is min
gled with the fur. Nothing is more
effective, as a rule, than black hat
trimmed with silk cord and gold tas-
seled ends. dropping plrmes falling
over the back and at the side. Col
ored feathers are often introduced on
black beaver, as well as on black felt,
and there is a great fashion now for
bright emerald green aigrettes. Thick
riches CT ribbon encircle many of the
crowns.

Luscious Salad.

For a late supper or luncheon
where a salad bit heavier than a
plain vegetable one is desired the fol
lowing is a delicious one:
Have a pint of cold, plain boiled
potatoes; pass them through the
sieve, open one pound Of French wal
nuts, put them in boiling water, so
as to remove the skins with ease.
Leave the nuts as much as possible
in halves, dry them with a towel and
cool them. Cut the tender part OF
two romaine salads one-half finger
length, reserving the hearts to be di'
vided in four parts for the top of the
salad. Put in ice water fifteen min
utes, drain in salad basket or in a
clea- towel. Do not bruise, as it must
be crisp.
