" Near-Blizzard Puts a Crimp in Easter| Buying. Saturday’s storm was not only a dis- Tupter of many cherished holiday plans, but one of the greatest weath- er surprises of the year. Faster bliz- ®ards, or anything approximating such a disturbance, are not common in this section of New England, Here in Danielson the snow fell so heavily at itimes just after the noon hour as to be almost blinding. Thoughts of spring raiment gave place as to what disposition had been made, back in February, of furcoats, caps and over- Shoes.

Torrey of this city has started a suit to recover $1,500 damages over the attempt to take a carcass of a deer away from him last November, have filed an answer to the complaint.

Saturday's storm was a real busi- ness killer in Putnam and an out-of season weather orgy that was not at all acceptable to anyone, so far as cculd be learned. Scores of people Wwho had planned Easter trips had to notify friends of the cancellation of their plans on account of the heavy snowstorm, and many families who were to have entertained friends here recelved similar messages from out of town. The young ladies who had been counting for weeks on lending some individual splendor to the Easter pa- rade were downright discouraged. No Easter season in the memory of most people was so ridiculously inappropri- ate as to weather. More snow fell in Saturday’s storm than in any of the winter season. JOE CONNOLLY COMING.

Connolly has requested that Cordier write him as to arrangements while the Braves are in Washington, Friday and Saturday of this week. Mr. Cor- dier has planned to get the Braves' famous quartette here for a big event. There will probably be a banguet, a dance and a theatrical performance at which Maranville and Gowdy will put on the sketch that kept them behind the footlights during their winter lay- off_from baseball. Connolly states in“his letter that he is in fine shape for the season’s long grind and that the whole team is in grand form.

Will End Forest Fire: The danger from destructive forest fires that has been such a menace for several weeks past was banished by the snowfall in the storm-of Saturday. Within the past two weeks the local fire department has been called upon to answer about a dozen alarms for brush fires. some of which threatened to do serious damage. One of the latest of the fires burmed over a stretch of several miles, from the town of Thompson down into the Woodstock avenue section of Putnam, before it was _extinguished after two days of fighting. Special care and vigilance has been exercised during the past two weeks by fire wardens and their depu- ties to protect this territory against fire damage. PETITION FOR SUFFRAGE.

Easter Sunday afternoon the annual services of Narragansett commandery, Knights Templar, were held in Ma- sonic hall under the direction of Emi- nent Commander Arthur N. Nash in -accordance with the ritual. There were many in attendance besides the sir knights. The service opened with the processional, Onward, Christian Sol- diers, trio, and closed with the reces- sional, Marehe Celebre, trio.

Two elderly sisters, over 80 yaars of age each, were asphyxiated by smoke from a fire in their home at Cross’ Mills, in the adjoining town of Charle: town, Saturday morning. They were Mrs, Dorcas Smith, widow of Willlam Smith, late of North Kingstown, and Mrs. Henry Clay Card, and they met their death in the cottage of the latter, where they had resided together for several years. Neighbors discovered smoke coming from & partly opened window in the Card cottage and on en- tering the house found that a kerosene lamp had evidently been overturned and set fire to the carpet. This fire was speedily extinguished. ‘The ‘dead body of Mrs. Smith was found on the kitchen floor, where the fire was located, and the body of Mrs. Card was on the bedroom floor adjoin- ing.. It is believed that the lamp was lighted when the agen women arose and that when the lamp was dropped to the floor and started the fire, the women were suffocated in their efforts to extinguish the blaze.

Mrs. Smith leaves a son an | daughter, William Smith North Kingstown, and Mrs. Warren Cook, of Rock Hill, North Kingstown. - 'th. belated blizzard that arrived in this section Saturday included ,West- erly in its itinerary. It certaidly did knock out business of almost every description, and the big blow and snow put the kibosh on the customary East- er trade. From 10 in the morning un- til after midnight the storm raged with great severity, the wind reaching the gale velocity, and the snowstorm be- ing continuous. So far as known, no damage of consequerice resulted from the storm in Westerly and vicinity. The trolley cars, although a littie off schedule time, made trips as near thereto as possible, and, ~the severe storm considered. the service was quite satisfactory. The cars on the Watch Hill route, by reason of the low tracks and the nearness to the tracks,of the fenders, in consequence, were forced to battle 'through the snow, and with more difficulty than on other @ivisions, where the tracks are high, but_the Watch Hill trips were made in about the ordinary time. The trains on the steam road were also off of echedule time, all trains being from half an hour hour to- an- hour late 'in - arrival-at Westerly. It was some storm, and then &ome more. - .
