 of the year. In contrast to the busy rush of the week preceding. it was a time of quiet family gath erings, of gladstone greetings, and of rich content. Countless Christ mas cakes yielded reluctantly to shimering knives; countless plump turkeys, shining with promise as they came from ovens, were trans formed into succulent, tempting slices. It was a traditional day, and there were the traditional dishes; cranberry sauce, plum pudding, golden turnips, and all the never-aging components of the Christmas dinner.
 Sunday afternoon, Christmas eve, found special observances in many parts of the city. Pageants were presented at the First Baptist church and the First Congrega- tional church. Five hundred resi- dents of the Bunker Hill section gathered at the Bunker Hill Con- gregational church for services. A special pageant at All Souls church was presented by members of the Sunday school. St Johns church annual Christmas tree festival was held for Sunday school students and their friends and relatives sunday night.
 Carolling groups were heard all over the city. The Concordia Sing ing Society brought cheer to pa- tients of St Mary's hospital on the afternoon of Christmas eve. and later sang carols at the community Christmas tree on the Green. The Mendelssohn male chorus sang carols at the Waterbury hospital.
 Numerous parties and gather ings were held on the eve of the great occasion. The Hopeville community club held gala cele- while many other groups had hol- iday programs.
 Santa Claus visit to the city's homes so distracted the stork that only one birth was recorded in the city on Christmas Day. and that the child of Thomaston parents. Mrs Frank White of High street, .Thomaston, and was born at the Waterbury hospital.
 Records of the holiday mail show that 1t was tremendously large in volume. Thousands of packages and Christmas cards were sent in and out of the city,, eclipsing by far the figures of last year.
 Signing with satisfaction, the city prepared to resume Its normal course of life again, but that only after this weekend, with it's New Years Eve and day. It promises to be g ay holiday week; colleges and clubs have numerous dances planned; there will be hundreds of parties and entertainments. It. IS Christmas week gain, and the city is ready to say goodbye to the fast departing year of 1883.

 Claimed By Death
Waterbury Savings Bank EmplOye Passes at State
 Street Home TO-day-Funeral Thursday

William J. Flynn, known to hun- dreds of Waterbury residents as an employe of the Waterbury Savings bank. died early today at his home, 2e State street. In the course of his work at thee bank he had oc- casion to meet many persons, and he won himself many friends by his kindness and courtesy.
 He was one of the most active members of the local lodge of Elks and was prominent in several oth- or organizations as well. He was one of the city's most brilliant con- versationalists, and had a wide ac- ai1aintance with a great variety of subjects. He was extremely we'll read, mad had a deep knowledge

workers and the great number or persons on the Mutual Aid doing side work were affected by the storm. They were forced to quit at about e:30 o'clock.
 The CWA men lost day yester- day, because it was Christmas, and losing today's work, also. caused them much worry. However, It is understood that efforts will be made to help the men to make up their hours of work by adding Q little longer period of time to their usual working days during the next couple of weeks.
 As the storm appeared violent Chief Henry Heitman of the fire department and Superintendent of Police Joseph H. Mclean issued orders to their respective drivers to equip their cars with chains.
 Connecticut company trolley cars ran very slowly up to early this afternoon. One trolley car from Waterville took about three- quarters of an hour to reach Ex- change place, due to the inability of the wheels of the trolley car to grip on the slippery rails. Similar trouble was experienced on all other trolley lines where the grades were a little sharp.
 Busses on the hiily streets were also considerably slowed up, the Connecticut company reported. However, up to early this after noon no derailments were reported as far as the trolley cars were concerned.
 The trolley company had num- Der of sweepers and blows out throughout the morning and early afternoon. Also, a large crew of men was on the job attempting to keep switches clear.
 The street department was await ing a let-up in the storm. As soon as 1t is practical, the street depart ment will put 30 trucks and about 300 men out on the job of blowing and clearing away the snow from the main thoroughfares. Superin- tendent of Streets Thomas Fleming stated early this afternoon that if the snow gets deeper he will push the automatic snow loader into action. This will mark the first use of the loader this season.
 Hundreds of business houses took advantage of the hard times to give work to men shoveling side- walks. If there was any scarcity of work for men the snow storm came to their rescue and there Is expected to be plenty of work about town as far as clearing side- walks is concerned. Hundreds of youngsters also took advantage, of the storm to go out and earn some money doing early sidewalk clean ing.
 Thousands of Waterburians, aside from regretting the arrival of the storm, also expressed sorrow because 1t did not arrive yesterday ing to come at all. From all indica- for Christmas, as long as it was go- tions, however, New Years will be a white" one.
 Waterburians who gazed at the skies last night were forewarned of to-day's storm but there were not many who availed themselves of this opportunity. The moon was very hay and was circled by a very large number of shooting rays which practically resembled dis play of the Aurora Borealis.

WILLOW STREET
 CAR OFF RAILS
Disabled During the Rush of Business Near
 Ludlow Street

A Willow street trolley cur was disabled near Ludlow street cross over about 1 o'clock to add to the difficulties of the Connecticut Company officials in maintaining same sembiance of their regular schedule. During the rush hours cars were conveyed up the hill Dy a snow plough. Delays were num- trous owing to the fact that auto ists in attempting to make the hill drove to the left, of slow moving or stalled trolley cars only to be met by autos travelling south.
 The crippled car on the Willow street line caused a tie-up of near. ly three quarters of an hour. n was necessary to shunt the dis abled trolley over the cross over, which in view of the impaired elec- trical equipment, was considered a ''stunt" under such weather 'con- ditiOns.

 Other ferryboats ran from three to IS minutes behind schedule. Visibility in the harbor was less than quarter of 8 mile. The liners California, Maggallanes and Cris- tobal waited outside the harbor for visibility to improve before at- tempting to dock.
 Automobiles moved slowly through slippery streets. Vehicular and surface car traffic was halted on Brooklyn bridge during the rush hour while laborers sanded approaches and roadways.
 Many office workers crowded into subways, fearful that elevated trains would be delayed.

 One favorable aspect of the snow storm, the Boston weather bureau pointed out, was that 1t would serve to ward off the cold wave now sweeping eastward from the midwest.
 By 11:30 a. m. the storm, which came from the Carolinas, was sweeping all six New England states. Meteorlogists said it was covering an "enormous" area ex- tending from St Louis and the Mississippi river into Maine. The snow was expected to continue well into tomorrow"
 The weather bureau said 1t did not anticipate any severe gales, al- though storm warnings had been ordered posted from Sandy Hook to Eastport. There would be enough wind, however, to cause the snow to drift and to hamper traffic ser- iously, 1t said.

Tariff War Threatens

PARIS. May A concerted move
among European nations to erect
higher tariff barriers against
American goods as retaliation to
threats of imitation of the dollar in
the United safes caused anxiety
among A. ~1can merchants here
today.
A survey by the United Press
showed that number of the chief
countries on the continent were
planning. or had taken, steps to
counterfeit the fall of the dollar on
foreign markets.
The French government, for ex-
ample, threatened to clap a Is per
cent surtaX on American goods if
the dollar permanently depreciates
more than Is per cent.
The survey showed that:
In Germany, during the last week.
tariffs on vegetables, fodder. seeds.
and other products have been raised.
In Switzerland, tariffs have been
increased on oats, barley, and other
staples.
In Holland, new quotas on imports
have been put into effect.
In Italy, tariffs have been put on
certain articles until now exempt.
