All business is at a standstill and the peo- ple are keeping to their homes rather | than try to get out while further storms threaten. What mail comes into the town is brought by sleigh the arrival of postal matter is very infrequent, many deliveries heing omitted entirely. Workmen in New Britain factories residing here can-. not get through except by walking a mile and a half through the drifts to Jacob's corner, the farthest point the cars have reached.

Several auto trucks tried to go through to Hartford last evening, but | fell short of their destination before they had gone many miles from here. The turnpike, except for the trucks and a few sleighs passing last evenin. is unbroken. No one has ventured out with their sleighs because of the high drifts encountered . along the turnpike. Many of the older residents stated this morning that they cannot recall a storm of such severity since the one in 1888 made famous by the great blizzard.

Griswold, town health officer, stated this morning that the grip and influenza epidemic is on the wane, only a few new cases having been reported. He does not believe there will be a further spread of the disease and does not consider there is any cause for further alarm. East Berlin, A. A.

P. PRIOR ISSUES WARNING Asks Residents to Keep Fire Hydrants Cleared of Snow-—Danger of Blazes in Outlying Districts—All Roads Impassable—Brief Items. The regular merning train bound for New Haven and due in Plainville at 8:20 o'clock split the switch at the railvoad crossing at Central square this morning and ripped the planks off the orossing. There were two engines attached to the train and ons of them was derailed. A freight en- gine and two cabooses were also de< railed early this morning. A wreck- ing crew from w Haven was dis- patched to this town and was busy all morning on the job of getting the engines and cabooses back on the rails. The task was not even near completion at noon today. Train and freight traffic on the Northampton division is held up as & result of the wreck and it probably will be in this condition for many hours, as the work is being held up by the necessity of clearing the snow from the tracks. The tracks from the Yailroad station to the Bristol Manu- facturing company’s factory are ef- fectively blocked with the exception of the crossing, which was cleared at once to allow vehicular trafic to rroceed. Many Trains Blocked. An engine was derailed this morn- ing near the East Main street rail- voad crossing. A wrecker and crew arrived in a short time and placed the engine on the rails in record time. The tracks on both the Northampton | and Highland divisions present a unique aspect, trains being stalled on tracks of both divisions. This is the first time in the memory of even the oldest residents that such a coadition has existed. Mabel Coe Furrey. Mabel Coe Fiurrey, the one-week- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. BE. Wil. llam Furrey, @ied vesterday at the home of her parents on Broad street. It is planned to hold funeral services tomorrow. Wants Hydrants Cleared. Edward P. Prior, chief of the fire department, issited a warning to res- idents of Plainviile last night in which he requested all property own to use every precaution in preventing the danger of fires. His most perti- nent suggestion was that property owners have the snow cleared from the hydrants in the streets of the town, each one to zee that the hy- nearest to his property 1§ cleared. Chief Prior warns the townspeople ' against delay in this matter, as a fire during the present tie-up might prove disastrous. The hydrants were néarly covered by the snowfall of a few davs ago, only a few inches of each one show- ing above the snow. It iwas pointed out at that time that this condition js a source of danger. The blizzard of the past two davs completely con- cealed the hrdrants from view; hence the chief's suggestion. Danger in Country. The question has arisen as to what would happen in case of a fire in an outlying section of the town while the roads are in their present condition. It is practically certain that the truck which has been in use for the past few vears could not travel over the roads while the drifts are piled high. The town has never used horse-drawn apparatus the old-fashioned hose reels being used hefore the purchase of the motor truck. Other towns have heen obliged to hire horses and keep them at the stations as a precaution- ary measure. but this town has no apparatus which might be used in this manner. Meeting Postponed.
