A STORMY SUNDAY.

The almost ceaseless showers Sun
day did not prevent people from
travelling and the cars carried quite
a number to and fro through the Dor
ough. At times the wind blew sc
that it came throug the trees and
caused the leaves to rustic as they
do in autumn and one could fairly
imagine the chestnuts falling to the
ground. 1t was quite warm, notwith-
standing the breeze. There were
showers that came down in such
quantities that great pools were
formed in the gardens and the rain
rushed into some of the cellars as If
coming from a reservoir. The troll
ley tracks on the corner of Broadway
n Bordentown aVenu were covered
with sand and for a few hours after
one car got stuck the cars only came
as ar as the corner, where they wait
ed a while for the passengers from
farther on, where the same difficulty
must have been experienced at the
curve near Andrew Slover's. About
3 O'Clock in the afternoon a car
brought a couple of men who soon
had the tracks clear and the cars
running regularly again. Later in
the day, after one of the showers,
another a got stalled and the pass
engers got off and walked to the
station. A shovel was borrowed
from a party residing in the vicinity,
the track was cleared and the car
got around the curve.
