 The drifts along the c. " tracks have grown large enough to hold up oth trains this morning. Yesterday evening the trains were running off schedule Lut during the night the drifts increased so that the trains have not been able to break through this morning. The north bound train ecame stalled at Lebanon and is l"a.tng the arrival of the snow blow which, at ten o'clock this morning, was on it's way down, near State line,
 with the south bound passenger be- hind it.
 The interurl an trolly cars were
 thrown off their schedule for the greater part of yesterday afternoon. Snow drifts along the track was main ly the cause of it, and one of the snow blows, having left the rails near the Bidorni block here, could not be used
 The nine o'clock car of yesterday morning burned out it's air pipes and
 ca; les so that it became stalled at the lower end of Main street. Toward noon the snow blow was attached to it and attempted to tow the car into Rockville. AS it was on it's way up the street the blow jumped the track.
 The water which had frozen in the ,urrows caused by the snow banked .at out the rails was the cause of this. Another snow blow and crew had to be sent for before the first blow could be put ack on the rails. This was not accomplished till near five o'clock III the afternoon. After the second snow blow had cleared the line the cars were ale to reach here but they were still off schedule. Owing to the condition of the tracks on the streets, it has cen decided not to run the cars the length of Main street Until matters improve they will stop at Church street and turn back from there.
