 Storm Creates Havoc.
 The storm of last night created havoc with the affairs of local people. This morning the town had the ap- pearance of a deserted village, as far as there being anyone on the streets. The trol1cys were stuck, automobi's were stalled and horses and teams were scarce as hens teeth. The south- bound trains were running from ten to fifteen minutes late, while tine north bound ones were practically at a standstill. The train which left New York at o'clock yesterday af- ternoon did not reach the local sta ton until o'clock this morning. P. s. McMahon's truck stalled in a drift yesterday afternoon near the stone bridge in Kensington and the driver telephoned to the theatrical ma agnate for assistance. McMahon sent his touring car down, but the drifts in front of the post office were too for midable for the machine, and it met the same fate as the truck. Neither machine had been moved at 10 o'clock this morning. The delivery car of Patsy Buckley of Kensington stalled at the corner of Peck and AL ling streets, kensington, early last evening, and the driver was forced to leave it there after making several intellectual attempts to start it.
 On account of the drifts there were no sessions in the local schools and only a few of the male employees of the American Paper Goods company ventured to work today The fair sex employed there was conspicuous by it's absence. After ascertaining that the roads in Beckley were in the worst condition, Selectman Gibney put q four horse town team to work there this morning for the purpose of mak- ing path. In some places the snow had made drifts eight feet in height ]
