TRAINS STALLED.
nsn Sent to Help Train Have to
 Shovel Themselves Out.

The railroads had wild west wealth CT yesterday. No trains in twenty four hours sounds more like Montana than Connecticut. But this was the state of affairs yesterday and last night on the. sTariffvAle Springfield branch of the Central New. England railroad. That branch runs for much of its distance between two systems Of hills, with the bottom quite narrow. Consequently when the winds blow a gale, .ass they did yesterday the snow is blown from the side hills and is packed intoet the cuts. q
 A train bound for Springfield Mon- day evening became stuck before it had gone far, and a gang of laborers had to be, sent from Hartford to re lease 1t. Yesterday morning sixty men and a snowplow were sent out to open up road. When the gang reached West Sufneld they gave up the task and started to1return to Tariffyille. Then they found that the snow had drifted .inf behind them so they had to shovel their way out.s @ x ,tt' a4l
 Meanwhile q train had been sent down from. Springfield with another gang of laborers and after effectirg q function the whole hundred or
 
 reach the terminus. Further traf1c yesterday and last night over the branch swasA abandoned,& but it was thought that trains would begin to run again this morning when the shovel CTS have been sent out again. .=s
 The Hartford division of the Con sohdatedn had some trouble. Trains were from an hour to an hour and a half late all yesterday and last night. The cause of the delay was said to be bad drifts on the Boston and Albany, near Worcester, and tie-up in the Grand Central station in New York. There were no drifts on the Hartford Dfvision,s but the strong winds and intense cold made speeding F difficult. The Highland Divisionthad no trouble, but on the sSpring1eld branch of ,thls division the drifting of the snow ne- cessitated4 the use of a Hanger yester- day afternoon. ,4e . ''"--s'a v

Credit Argument.

Our strong position in the credit oe - Is matter attained by un- daunted persistence in matters o& quality and nttleness of price, backed by the most liberal ana generous cred- 1t proposition ever offered to the pub lie by the Guarantee Credit Clothina Go.
 Anybody can buy for cash! That's easy" There's no special honor in the fact that one can walk into a stores lay down in cold cash the full price asked for an article and so become the>possessor. Come to think of it it'a the coldest sort of proposition, a mere transaction. To have credie given you is entirely different Makes you feel as though you were entitled to 1t. sWhat2a great honor if is to be able to enter as store. select such goods as you want and arrange to pay for them in amounts and at times that are convenient to you. What a great dignity there is to credit, and how far reaching its beneficial effects. A large per cent of the world's business owes its existence to this great comod1ty. To buy Tor cash, then, is very ordinary. But to buy on credit Is always a distinction that ona should be proud of. e-'- e's4
