No Local Trouble.
Locally, the snow storm has caused
no interference. except a slight incon-
v%enience to the street railway COM
pany. During the night and early this
morning the snow drifted consider
ably, and the company had to keep
it's SNOW sweeper busy during the
greater part of the time. This me-
cessitated some little delay in rum
ming cars; but for the most part the
crews kept the cars running close to
schedule time.
The heavy fall of snow during the
carly part Of asst evening filled the
hearts Of many with Joy, and several
actually ventured forth with cutters
and sleighs. Most of the business
houses had their wagons still on the
Job this morning. as their sleighs
were still stored away. Unless there
is another warm spell, the wagons
soon will disappear entirely.
