stopped at the CWA shack near the Naugatuck river south of South Leonard street to warm himself on Tuesday and then, against all ad- vice that could be given him, pro- ceeded to try to reach Platts Mills through the woods. No report of him has been received but, at the same time, nobody has been report ed missing in the Platts Mills sec tion as far as could be learned to- day and there is, therefore, the possibility that the fears being eX- pressed are unfounded.
 Trolleys Begin to Run
 Trolley service between Water bury and Cheshire was established last night. Regular service was given the residents of the East End on both tracks to-day. Yester- day one track was in use but last night the blows succeeded in clear ing the second track making two- way travel possible.
 Trolleys were running as far as Brookside on Watertown avenue to- day. Bunker Hill busses had eX- tended their service to the ConSre- gational church on Grandview ave- nue. Waterville service was by bus by way of Thomaston avenue. Willow street service was by bus to-day and reached to Wildwood avenue. It is not expected that trolley service on Willow street will be resumed for few days.
 The trolley tracks remained cov- cred with ice and snow on Bank street south of the junction with Meadow street. No attempt will be made to open the trolley line to Town Plot for several days, it was stated. Busses are in use in- stead to-day.
 The trolley line to South Main street had not been opened very far and bus service to Naugatuck was being provided, instead. The Meriden line bus service was avail able as far out as Chase school. Other bus routes, such as South Leonard street, Hill street, Baldwin street and Sylvan avenue, Walnut street and Hamilton avenue were not being covered to-day.
 They will not be run until wider openings have been made in the streets covered. Bright and early this morning the city's nine tractor blows were on the job clearing out side streets. One blow, as early as 7:3O o'clock this morning, was out east as far as Silve rstreet. However, only opening wide enough to permit one vehicle to pass through were being made.
 All Trucks In Use
 Practically all the central streets had been opened in this way by this morning. It was expected that Brook street would be included in the list to-day. The number of trucks in use by the city continued to grow to-day. Superintendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming has been experiencing difficulty in get ting all the trucks he wants.
 The city's snow loader and that of the Connecticut company were pressed into action to-day taking away the huge piles of snow on each side of the main streets in the central part of the city. Yes terday, city, CWA and Mutual Aid men. assisted by Connecticut com pany employees. removed the snow from the center of the streets and piled it on the sides. These huge piles make the work of the auto- matic snow leaders more effective.
 Many main thoroughfares were scheduled to be plowed out to-day such as Cooke street. It Is felt

BRETONS PLAN
 HUGE REVIVAL
1884 May Be Exceptional Year in Religious Con-
 versions Annals

Paris (UP).--A campaign to Init the sawdust trail" in q big way is planned by the inhabitants of Treguier, in Brittany, during this year.
 The Breton "pardons" are an annual affair, but natives intend to make 1894 an exceptional year in the annals of religious conversions. A pardon" in Brittany is the equivalent of an American revival meeting; it enables the Breton 70 confess his sins, repent, and re- solve to tread the straight and narrow path for the future. With the strictly religious side of the revival attended to, however, the "pard develop a carnival spir- it unequaled in any part of the world. Pancakes and champagne form the refreshments. There are pardons for everything and every body. One of the largest of the pardons is that of St. Nicodemu us and St. Yves-who was a lawyer, "but no crook" according to the Latin epigram. Others include St. John the Baptist (part of wohse finger is said to be conserved in his church near Morlaix), and St. Michael the Archangel.
 The saints mentioned above are the recognized saints of Holy Church. but Brittany has hun dreds of other saints who have never been canonized except by the Breton peasants themselves. Each one is credited with being able to cure certain diseases, espe- cially on Pardon Day"
 St. Briac, for example, is rec commended for epilepsy; St. Blaise and St. Rodegone for tootcache; St. Paby for rheumatism; St. Ca- doc for deafness; St. Urleu for gout: St. Aubert for hydrophobia; {; St. Tupedu for corns: St. Oneoe is the healer for dropsy; St. Namert l for stomach troubles; St. Bieuxy for mental derangements; St. Kueten and St. Ivy for the collie, and Ste. Barbe for lightning and sudden death. St. Kirion is said to possess magic power for mak- ing boils disappear: St. Leonarius for curing bad spelling; while Ste. Blanche provides her adopts with white skin.
 | When an ailment descends on peasants of Brittany, they send for | the doctor, but pray to the saint If a cure Is effected. the saint gets the credit. but ehdoctor col lects the cash.

 While firemen are now tempo rarily barred from visiting their homes, they are nevertheless mak- ing the best of 1t. Some of the men anyway, were "A hour members in the old days, and the new order of duty embarrasses them little, un- der the circumstances.
 But just the same the order calls for each and every man on duty, from the chief down.
 Chief Heitman's first visit was to his home to-day for the purpose of trying to secure some sleeping cots for some of the men, now con- pelled to sleep in the railways. He brought down two, along with a smaller bed which he had Mrs Heitman dismantle at his home for the time being. In other words, three additional sleeping cots have been added to headquarters as q result of the visit made by the chief to his own home.

 The planes were flying from San Clemerte Island to San Pedro when their fuel supply ran out and they were forced down. Volunteering for the task, Ensign Victor H.

 Princes death made the second mystery in the Stavisky case, which, 1t was recalled. led to the bloody riots of two weeks ago. When it was announced that Stav- isky killed himself as surete gen. erale men broke into the Alpine villa where he took refuge, many charged publicly that he was killed by detectives to prevent disclosures. The Prince death was linked definitely to the Stavisky scandal today when police learned that inn /, portant documents, involving mag istrates concerned in the many postponements of Stavisky's fraud prosecution, were missing. Prince was known to have car ried a yellow leather brief case of documents to study on the train on | which he went in answer. to the fake telegram sent him, which said that his mother was critically i'll and facing an opeation.

 The Cardinal Archbishop of Ma lines celebrated the mass in scene that was most poignant of all. He chanted the absolution. The inn mense nave was hung with black and silver. There was one spot of blazing color, around the coffin where the colors of allied flags were brought out by the warm soft light of scores of candles. The candles lights were caught by the medals and glittering saber scab- bards of brilliantly uniformed off, cers.
 Choir of Malines cathedral sang the choruses at the mass. Then there was absolute silence as the cardinal gave absolution. The gray light from the high cathedral win dows seemed dull by the splendor of the uniforms of the kings and princes and officers.

 Carl H. Myers, Greenwich, trav- eled 25 miles by train, taxi and afoot, to Bridgeport to report for jury duty only to find himself the only one to show up. It took him nearly 10 hours to make the trip.
 Resumption of trolley service to towns immediately adjacent to cit- ies made it possible for thousands to resumt their normal routine to- day and return to work. The first cars to break through the storm were met by cheering townspeople who trotted along the tracks in their wake.
 The state highway department reported to-day conditions still "were very bad" throughout the state and it was hoped to smash the blockade by Saturday, barring an other storm. Autoists were advised to keep their cars off the roads for another AS hours.

CITY PAYS OUT SUM OF $5O,OOO
(Continued from Page 1.)


 The Connecticut company not only lost considerable revenue but has been forced to expend thous- hnds of dollars on the local division opening up it's various lines and re- pairing crippled apparatus. The railroad, bus companies, factories and other firms and individuals were forced to spend unusual sums because of the snow, also. There- fore, some figured that the $200,- 900 estimate is a conservative one and that the $50,000 figure for the city is not as high as it really will be when the snow removal job is finally completed.
 In the 1894 budget of the street department the amount set up for snow removal is $50,000. This storm, therefore, will eat up the whole amount, it is figured, fore ing the transfer of money from other items to care for the other snow removal activities of the de partment during the past month and a half and for the rest of the season.
