WATERvILLE.
Storm Conditions
About WateryilIe,

The first real snow storm of the
year was Well under way, Friday
morning, when the residents of Wa
terville arose for their days work.
AT first most everyone expressed
themselves as pleased with the snow
as it meant increased business, but
after the storm had kept up for over
IL hours and began to blow, drift, and
in general assume the aspects of "a
regular New England blizzard the
satisfaction was not SO great. Dur
ing the greater part of the day it was
a we'll behaved storm, the snow fall
ing in feathery flakes and giving pros
poets of good sleighing. About 3
O'Clock in the afternoon the wind be-
gan to come up and from that time
the conditions We're disagreeable, to
say the least. Here in Watervile the
streets were kept passable during the
greater part of the day but when the
snow began to drift the snow plews
Were up against it and the storm got
lead on them. The local electric car
line kept up a good service, all day
long, and would have continued it I'M
til time to stop at night had not a
car burned out, about $50 o'clock,
and put the cars behind the schedule.
The L., A. & W. st. Ry. cars put in
an appearance here every hour, dur
ing the day, but found conditions
along the line, especially in the coun-
try, bad. with prospects of blockades
most any trip.
The Maine Central trains were on
time, or very nearly so all day long
All the east-bound trains arrived
practically on time and the west
bound also did. The afternoon train
for Portland and Boston arrived on
time but was held here about 10 min
uteS TO await the return of a special
train from Oakland. This train was
sent out of Waterville TO bring in the
passengers from the afternoon train
over the Somerset division. This
train, which generally makes connec-
tons with the 12.45 p. NJ. train from
Waterville TO Portland, by the way of
Lewiston, was way behind time. The
special made the trip and only kept
the Boston train waiting about 10
minutes. The storm delayed traffic
along the Somerset division more
than it did on the other divisions
from the fact that previous snow
storms had been heavier than they
had this way and the shoulders"
along the track made the snow pack
down more and consequently harder
for the trains to pillow through. Prae-
tically every social affair, scheduled
for Friday evening, was postponed in
thic pitN

Labor Leader Challenges Senator &
Produce Evidence Of IIleual Acts.


Washington, Jan. 21.-Senator Hey
purn, OF Idaho, is challenged by Sam
uel GOmpers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, in an edi-
torial in the February issue of the
American Federationist, to produce in
court Of law any evidence which he
may have of any illegal acts per-
formed by Gompers.
The editorial is based upon the oc.
currence in the senate last Thursday,
when Hepburn declared that mo COM
municatiOns should be received from
Mr.. GOmpers because of the facts dis
closed in the Mcnamara trial and SUBJ
sequently thereto
The Idaho senator also said that
Gompers was not qualified to address
communication to congress or to the
government. Referring to his chal-
lenge to Detective Burns and his
sponsor to prove in court of law any
charge which any or all of them may
bring against him, President Gompers,
addressing Mr.. Hepburn, continues:
II now and here include you and
defy you and challenge you to produce
in court Of law any such evidence.
You will observe that / specifically
state in court Of law rather than
under the constitutional protection
which surrounds your privilege to wag
your unbridled tongue in indirection
and insinuation."
After declaring that he has been a
citizen OF the United States since 1872,
Gompers says, in conclusion:
There is nothing that you can say.
