 Stalled in Storm
 About ten automobiles were stalled last night on Pennington avenue where the snow had drifted to con- siderable height, and wrecking crews from the local garages were working practically the entire night in their efforts to losen them. One large truck carrying freight from Torrins- ton to Hartford was stalled in drift and while the driver went to call as- sistance, another automobile coming through the storm, crashed into his vehicle. The name of the driver of the car could not be ascertained, and as the automobile was able to drive off under its own power, 1t is not thought that a great deal of damage was done.
 The Connecticut company held to it's schedule throughout the night, and with the exception of certain runs that were late. the rest Q the system was kept going. Today he early morning cars were late, bat as the morning wore on, the schedule was improved.
 The same could not be said of the trains however, because all trains passing through Plainville were late last night and today. The mail train from Waterbury, due here at $40 p. m, 1off ho fofi of 1. p. m., and the Boston train. due here about 10 o'clock, came steaming through long after midnight.
 Flows of every description were pressed into service on the roads and 1 Patrick Collins labored all through | the night to keep the state roads open. | Were it not for him, it would have been impossible for vehicular traffic | to pass through the town at all.
