ed hard all the time. from the early
morning until supper time. From that
time. however, the storm seemed to
have expended the greater part Of it's
energy; although it continued on q
much smaller scale during the eve
ming.
AS usual, the effects Of the down
fall of snow were the most noticeable
on the lines of the public traffic cor
porations, and as might be expected
the Lewiston, Augusta q Waterville
Street Railway was the most serious
ly affected. This road under existing
conditions is maintaining q sort Of
now and then" service at best, but
the storm during the morning hours
of yesterday set the cars TO limping,
and soon after the noon hour they
gave up the struggle altogether, SO Ear
as Augusta was concerned.
Two cars were noticed during the
early hours of the afternoon, on lower
Water street, trying to get somewhere,
one Of them being little old NO. IS,
and the other q IeWiStOn-hound car,
but they had a hard time Of it. After
awhile, however, no. 16 was removed
from the vicinity which it had occu-
pied for several hours but the pig caJ
after reaching a point opposite the new
Purinton building, hung there until
after o'clock in the evening, when 1t
was taken in out Of the storm. The
men were working on the line last
evening, shovelling, etc, and it is prob
able that some OF the service VIII be
resumed this morning.
The Maine Central kept its trains
moving but the storm held some OF
them in its grip to the extent that
they were several hours off th+ir
schedule. The first train to be much
DELAYED was No. II, which goes east
from Augusta at 2.41 y. NJ, but did
not come along until 3.25, ana then
only after a plow had been sent oyer
the line to clear the way. tram ~,
which goes west at 3.01 r. NJ. was only
about IS minutes late, and this train
also followed a plow. Train 102, how
ever, which goes west at 4.o7 IN the
afternoon, was delayed nearly tour
hours and did not come along until
.7.50, The next Westbound train. IL
which leaves Augusta at 6.10 L. NJ,
was reported to have got STUCK IN the
drifts up around Hermon Pond and
when it finally arrived at Augusta it
was three hours behind the schedule.
The evening train, No. %, which leaves
Augusta at 725 L. M. for Bangor, got
along at SIS, and the Pullmans We're
moro or less late on account Of the
storm. Considering the time that the
storm lasted it will stack up as one
of the big ones of the winter

Julian Eltinge, the we'll known pro-

popularity far greater than might be
expected from the fact that he has
never appeared in any except large cit

towns where Mr.. Eltinge had not ap-
peared might not be as interested in
seeing him on the screen, but this sur

poured in their inquiries and requests
