CRAZY GUILT WEATHER.
All Sorts Patched Into the Day Satur day-Censequent Trials of Trolley and Trainnen,


 Saturday turned out about the wild est combination of weather that. has been crammed into a single 24 hours this winter, and the storm, coming right on the heels of the lengthiest cold wave ot the season, rounded out a week that should make the weather man worry, having done his durndest. Alter foot of snow had been spread over the landscape by Il o'clock Sat urday morning, a fineF rain set in and stayed on the job until about o'clock, when there was a sudden drop of tenn / perature, whirl of hail. and then some more snow. With variations, the stunts were continued throughout the day.
 As the first real snowstorm of the winter, there was a welcome for the neecy blanket Saturday morning-for few minutes. Then trains and troll leys began to lose time, the milkman failed to put in an appearance with the breakfast cream, the grocers were late, and everything matched up at sizes and sevens. After 9 o'clock the trolleys had hard time of it. Short Iy after 10 o'clock a northbound car slid off the rails near the Central ho- tel, but was put back on after a time by the crew in charge A half hour later an electric blow, buffeting a way for southbound car, to which it was attached, poked it's nose over to one side and before it was stopped had swung around to a position almost at right angles with the line, all its wheels off the track. This incident oc- cured at the same place where the other car went off the iron. The blow was hauled back on the rails by the passenger car. An investigation show ed that ice on the side of one of the rails was causing the trouble. It was clipped off.
 On the steam roads. the trains after 10 o'clock were from 45 minutes to an hour late.
 While business in town was practi- cally paPalyzed for another Saturday, as has been the case for weeks, there was a rush of traffic for the operators at the central telephone office. About everyone needed the company's admo- milton, the talk without the trip" and as 8 result it was necessary to put on extra operators. The telephone lines remained 'on time." suffering little from the storm.

FIVE SNOW FLOWS USED.
Street Department Sets Them at Work Clearing Away Snow--Effects of Sat urday's Storm.

After weather suggesting the balmy days of spring, WiIlimantic for the past week has experienced something of a genuine winter. The cold snap was followed Friday night and Saturday by one of the heaviest snowstorms of the past two or three years, and traf- flc was tied up in consequence. Inci- dentally. this made the fourth stormy Saturday in succession for the mer- chants.
 The street department was on the Job early Saturday morning with five snow blows, clearing the streets. and later i'll the day the men were busy digging the snow from the gutters. When the householders arose there was work cut cut for them too. and snow shoVe1S were at a premium.

All day long, after the early morning hours. the trolley service was running on a hit or miss schedule, and this was not to be wondered at, and the steam road was having troubles of its own. so much so that the 3.10 p. m. train from Worcester and the 4 o'clock train out of this city for Worcester were annulied.
