THE GRIP OF WINTER.

The snow which began to fall at an
early hour yesterday morning con-
tiuaed throughout the day and night.
At an early hour this morning the
snow was about six inches deep on a
level, with the mercury several degrees
below the freezing point and frigid
northeast wind prevailing. There were
heavy flaws at times last night.
The grating OF shovels which were
being used by many in clearing snow
from pavements, was heard during the
early part Of the day. The street de-
partment had placed an improyised
snow plow on the thorougbfares which
made a roadway for vehicles. The
contriyance was in the shape OF a
capital A and was drawn by two
horses.
The steamer Southland arrived up
from Norfolk about on time and the
storm has not materially interfered
with tho running. Most OF the trains
however. we're somewhat late this morn
ing in arriving and departing. The
electric railway company operated
single cars and made comparatively
good time There was one delay oil
about half an hour in Washington,
caused by the Temporarily arrangement
OF the underground electric works.
Hail, snow and rain have prevailed
at times today.

CRUSADE AGAINST SLOT MACHINES

The first movement in a crusade
against gambling in Richmond was
inaugurated Yesterday morning when
Justice Crutchfield fined Peter Trailer,
n confectioner, $50 for operating a
lottery game in which the winnings
we're paid in candies. The Court said:
EVERY merchant in Richmond will
Ia fined unless these games Of chance
are stopped at once. There will be no
discrimination. The instant citizen
complains the police are prepared to
act and all offenders will be arrested
and dealt with severely"
The grand jury in Roanoke yesteT'
day brought in indictments against j.
r. Coles and J. S. 'Grayett, who are
charged with maintaining slot machines
contrary 70 the state law. These men
own number Of machines, which are
In operation in saloons, cigar stands
and poolrooms, The machines pay
checks good IN trade, but not money
Regardless OF the fact that they are
being operated under a city license,
the commonwealth will press the
cases. The men who have the machines
In their places will not be prosecuted
but will be ordered 10 remove them
Many similar machines are in operation

RoSEMONT NOTES.

Bright and early this snowy morn
ing the Rosemont Company, had a
horse snow-plow at work cleaning up
the streets, and a force Of men at work
cleaning the sidewalks. With bright
open fire going 10 the station and the
platforms cleaned, conditions we're up
to the usual high standard Of Rosemont,
it might be said the 'Rosemont STAN
dard."
Last week fine sturdy 12-foot maple
trees we're set out on all the streets, and
Towering shrubs we're planted 10 clumps
in the parking on Rosemont avenue.
Varieties were interspersea, so that
there will be blooming plants all through
the summer throughout the entire
length Of Rosemont avenue.

rErEeRApH1c INNOVATION.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany Or. L. Stultz, manager Ale&an-
dria). announced an innovation IN the
teleoranh service, called the special
ocesn mail service, designed to save
t;noe in foreign correspondence. A
letter from San Francisco to London
renuires as much time crossing the
continent as it does crossing the ocean.
A New York merchant writing TO 70
bahama must post his letter practically
a week before the mail steamer leaves
San Francisco or Vancouver. The
Western Union has arranged for the
use OF its night letter and other tele-
graphic service in connection with out
going ocean mail, so that this week
trans-continental time may be saved.
It's New York Office will receive tele-
grams from any part OF the country
destined to Europe and addressed and
will forward them in sealed specially
addressed envelope by the first outgoing
Atlantic steamship mail. The same
plan will be followed from San Fran
cisco. Seattle and Vancouver for trans
Pacific mails. This will enable CORE
spondence to be dispatched from any
part OF the United States for an ocean
mail within a few hours OF sailing
time. The only charge in addition TO
the usual telegraph tolls TO the ocean
mail port will be five cents for postage:
kilograms should bear the full mail
address OF the foreign correspondent for
whom they are intended and marked
care OF ocean MAIL" New York, San
Francisco, Seattle or Vancouver as the
case may be. No charge will be made
for the address.
