One Of DR.. C. A. Ritchie's horses caused
considerable excitement on North Broad
street yesterday morning. While stand
ing in front of the Doctors office the |
hired man decided to substitute collar
for the breast strap, and while making
the change, the horse was frightened and
dashed up the street at a lively pace
When in front Of the residence OF Mr. |
Jos. c. Jolls, the sleigh collided with a
tree, and was almost reduced to splinters.
The horse continued his northward
course until he plunged into snow bank,
where he remained until dug out. The
animal was not injured.
A terrific snow storm prevailed Tues
day night and Wednesday. followed BY
gale, that carried the drifts into mountain
like banks, blocking travel and causing
no end OF suffering and distress. All
trains have been late since Wednesday,
and it will be several days before they
will run on scheduled time. Everybody
seems to be showed under, and very few
people come to town. The Odessa & Mid |
dletown trolley line was tied up until
yesterday afternoon, and the mails be-
tween these two points we're great
ly delayed, and the Warwick and Cecil
ton ronte discontinued basiness on We'd
nesday. Following the blizzard bitter
piercing cold wave came and brought
with it an almost unprecedented amount
ofphysical and of business decentralization.
The mercury dropped to within few
degrees of the zero mark for the first time
this winter, and heavy clothing was has
tily substituted for the medium weight.
From present indication it will be se1NraI
days before travel will be resumed over
some OF our public roads. And while we
were trying to make the best OF the situa-
tion yesterday morning, the local weather
man, Jacob M. Foster stepped in to pay
his respects, and in the course of his con-
versation said "Why this is only frost
in comparison of what is to come in the
next few day; predicted this snow, and
you may just put it down in black and
white, we will have real snow storm in
side OF four days." Brother Foster may
be sincere in what he says about the com.
ng blizzard, yet, we doubt it and should
lit descend upo9us, it will be the seco ID
time in the meIAory of our people when
"Jake's" predictions have materialized.
