the telegraph lines here on Monday
 and better communication was estab- lished with the outside world.
 On the steam roads the trains were somewhat late, but much better sched-
 ule was maintained than on Sunday.
 The street department was busy Sun day and Monday cleaning the walks and getting the gutters cleared out,
 while some snow was being carted
 away. The patrons of the Connecticut
 company greatly appreciated the clean ing up of Franklin square, where the snow was shoveled into piles instead
 of being left for the crowds to wade
 through. Cars of the company were
 carrying off much snow on Monday. New London fared badly in the storm
 and had much trouble from broken
 electric wires. Power was shut ofr at the plant of the New London Gas and
 Electric company at 9.30 o'clock Sun
 day morning and was kept on until
 about o'clock in the afternoon. This
 was made necessary because Of the
 large number of wires which had fall en. A large force of men was put at
 work to repair the broken circuits all i work on the tangled wires was ex- tremely dangerous to the men. No power was given the East Lyme railroad until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when 1t was supplied to all the local circuits which were again opened. At o'clock the company had everything nearly under control so that with one or two exceptions illumination all over the city was re-established. The Pe- quot section was the only circuit which
 was kept closed Sunday night.
 The telephone service was badly crippled during Sunday. About fifteen poles were blown down along Pequot avenue, where the storm struck with all it's fury, while in Mantle and Wa
 terford large number of others were
 also broken.
 With the wires laden with ice. and the wind blowing a terrific gale, poles were blown down all along the New
 Haven roads tracks. In sections where poles are exposed to the fury of
 such storms probably hundreds of poles were blown down or the wires became
 so weighted down with ice and sleei
 that they sagged to the ground oI broke. As soon as this happened there
 was trouble in store for the road, and
 this it experienced in large doses. All trains during Sunday were anywhere from one to three hours late. The
 Wash" train due to arrive at 4.01
 o'clock Monday morning did not pas. through until about 10 o'clock Monday
 morning.
 The New London trolley service wal
 crippled nearly all day and there wal
 no suburban trolleys running to ol
 from that city until late in the after.
 noon. The first Norwich trolley ar
 rived there about o'clock and the | first East Lyme trolley not until later The last trolley Saturday night iron Groton and Westerly became stalled between Mystic and Stonfngton witf 1 about 25 passengers on board. With.
 out light or heat, they were obliged tC remain there for number of hou/5 and finally. not in the best of humor | drifted into Mystic and reached theii
 destinations as best they could. Int last car from Groton to Mystic wal
 stalled in the same manner in what il
 called Lewis woods and did not ar.
 rive in Mystic until about o'clocl l Sunday morning.
