10 see Carl. He remained few days

The electric car plowed through last
weeks storm, but did not attempt to get
down into the square. 1t stopped at
Church Street, and that is now the
South Paris terminus of the run, and
probably will be until some modification
of the winter weather reduces the
amount of snow.
The forenoon train, east-bound, Fri
day, appeared for while to be lost
dog, as the waiting crowd stood on the
platform and looked up the track and
saw nothing, some three-quarters OF an
hour after the train had left West Paris.
IL finally got here, with the eccentric
strap broken and the cylinder discon-
nected on one side. 1t was about an
hour and a half late when the train got
away Presumably il succeeded IN
limping into Portland in one-sided way.
We got only the tail end of the biz
zard which swept over the country
week since, but not degree of discount
was vOuchSafed us on the cold wave
which followed. "Wednesday morning
the thermometer registered from 20 to
81 below zero in different parts of the
village, and that day and the next were
two of the coolest days of the winter.
Thursday noon the mercury stood just
about at zero, with the sun shining clear
and brisk breeze blowing. 1t is very
rarely that we have such a bi ter day |
after the sun gets as high as it is now.
In spite of the snow and blow, about |
one hundred and fifty sat down TO the
supper of the Universalist Good Cheer |
Society Tuesday evening, and there was
enough for all and to spare. Grand |
Army Hall, where the supper was serv-
ed, had been prettily decorated for the
occasion. The entertainment consisted !
of the three-act farce "llis Last Legs.

field as Rivers, Mrs. Parlin as Mrs. Mon

and Mrs. II. Z. Wilson, and coon song
and dance by Howard Shaw.
Carlton NJ. Gray died at the home of
his parents in South Paris Monday of
last week, after a long illness from con-
sumption, at the age of % years. About
three years since he went to Boston and
secured employment on the elevated
road there, but about a year ago return
ed here with the first indication of the
disease which finally terminated his life.
During the summer he went to Haines
Landing in the employ of Nash the
taxidermist, hoping to receive benefit
from the change, but was obliged to give
it up before the end of the season and re-
turn home, and from that time gradually
but steadily failed While his death, ex-
pected as it had been for some time,
produced no shock by its suddenness, it
could hardly fail to do so when one re-
calls the physique which he possessed in
health. Over six feet in height, straight
as a pine, elastic and athletic in every
movement, he was one of the last who
would have been regarded as in danger
from diSeaSe eiOhtean months ago. and
