SNOW BOUND.
WERE THE STREET CARS ALL THE
MoRNING.-HEAvY DRIFTS
ALONG THE LINE.
Snow PlOw Failed to Do Successful or
Satisfactory Work.

The snow storm Monday night tied
up the street cars ut an early hour. AT
10 o'clock that night one car was hung
up at Goff chapel, another ON East Pike
street and still another on the bridge
at Shnttleworth's store. They were de-
layed couple of hours or more next
morning in getting out from the barn
and up town. In many places the snow
was driftcd on the track several inches
deep.
The three Adamston cars were hitch.
cd together this morning and attempt
made to clear the track. The train
finally made its way to the hill on Main
street Just beyond the Southern Pine
Lumber Company. The snow proved too
deep and the hill too steep and for a
while it looked like the line would be
tied up indefinitely. After eight or
nine attempts, the train finally succeeded
in climbing the grade.
On the return trip the trailing snow
plow was attached to tho train. 1t
proved to be worse than no plow at
all, for it would run to one side of the
track and throw the snow oyer the rails
worse than it was before the, cars tried
to run.
At Adamston several car loads of pas
'sengers, anxious to get up town to their
days work were delayed an hour or,so,
on account of the plow. The regular
street car pillow should have been at.
tached to car on yesterday evening
during the beginning of the snow. and
al this mornings inconvcnienees would
not have been experienced
