By being the most noble, was tbe answer. So we make the people think oor prices are always the lowest by actually making them the lowest. Thisiule of action is the basis of th confidence the people have in onr store. When we say January, 1895, must witness a large diminution In onr stock the people know we mean business. Oar low prices from now on will do it.

The First Real Touch of Winter Roe 1- wsys and Sidewalks Blockaded Street Cars Delayed Trains and Malls From All Directions Behind Time The Woodstock Stage Abandoned in a Snowdrift. The first real snow storm of the season arrived here about 10 oclock Wednesday evening, and continued all night and nearly all day Thursday. When It began to snow the wind blew from the northeast, and the sky had every indication of a severe storm. The wind veered to the north about 1 o'clock Thursday morning. At daylight the wind was blowing a gale.

As the morning advanced the wind changed to the northwest, and the light now which fell the wight before was piled in heaps in various parts of the city, and the north and south roads leading into the city were badly drifted in places. About eight to ten inches of snow fell in the city during the storm, aud probably from 10 to 12 inches on the level in the surrouiing country. The storm was very severe iu the mountains west and east of here. Parties who came into the city from tfie mountain region yesterday gfternoon said that the snow was Krona three to five feet deep in places. On account of the storm business was practically a standstill all day.

The storm was so severe during the forenoon and the greater part of the afternoon, that citizens did not get out to qleati the sidewalks in front of their houses until late in tint day. Even the sidewalks in the business part of the city were not all cleaued until evening. Many of the sidewalks in the outskirts of the city are still almost Impassable. It was only now and then that a lady was seen on the streets during the day, aud even men and teams were comparatively few. Travel was generally obstructed.

Rutland street railway exjKTienced considerable difficult- in running their elec tric cars. From early iu the morning the company had several teams, attached to snow plows, out cleaning the track between here and West Rutland. They succeeded in keeping tliat line clear and the cars were run pretty regularly. The new electric snow plow was taken out iu the middle of the forenoon, aud the men at first had some difficulty to make it work. Those who had the plow in charge did not understand, at first, how to operate it.

Finally, the plow was attached to an electric car and after some experimenting, it went through to Genter Rutland without any difficulty. The "belt line car did not imake a trip until 6 o'clock last evening. The snow on this line was deeper and more drifted than on the other. The drifts on North street and on Church street, near North, were unusually large for the first storm of the season, it took the company the greater part of i the day to clear the Hack. The street superintendent put a gang of men at work in the middle of the afternoon, when the storm began to abate, to level oil' the drifts on West and ('enter streets.

Merchants' row was i not touched, not ithstanding the fact) tliat the snow was piled up on the east side of the row, while the west side is nearly bare. This was also true of 'enter street, and. though the men made an attempt to level off' the crift to the bare side of the street, they did not seem to make much headway. The farmers were conspicuously absent from the streets. They evidently did not feel calledaipon to venture out in the storm.

No particular damage was reported, although at times the wind blew a gale. the railroads running into the city late trains proved the rule rather than the exception. Early trains leaving the city found the roads drifted by the night's snow, hut not so hadlv as upon the return trip. Frank Bruce, the engineer who leaves here on the 6.25 o'clock train for Whitehall, N. said that the wind was dead against the traiu, and the snow thrown up by the snow plow and caught by the wind was hurled against the cab windows so that it was impossible to see the front of the locomotive.

The -now was much deeper in Whitehall than it was in this city. The morning trains running into the city were more or less delayed. in the Central Vermout road the mail from the north, due here at 11.05 o'clock, was 55 minutes late. The Delaw are and Hudson road fared worse, as the noon train from Whitehall and Saratoga pulled into the station an hour and a half over due, after severe difficulty with snow drifts on the line. The other traing on the road were more or less delayed.

No sooner had a train passed over either of the roads than the snow sucked into the cuts or heaped up in drifts along the more level stretches of the tracks until they looked as if they had not been disturbed. Thus, by afternoon the roads were iu bad shape. On the Bennington Rutland road tlie New York flyer, due in Rutland at 4.35 o'clock, was an hour late and the evening train over the same road was 20 minutes overdue. The Central Vermont line was even more uu fortunate, the mail from the east being two hours and fifteen minutes late ami was still later when it reached Burlington. The 6 oclock train over the same line was held at Burlington until the snow plow could be sent out from this city and clear the track, that by this time was in an almost impassable condition.

The train arrived here after 1 1 o'clock. The evening mail from Saratoga pulled in 20 minutes over due with two heavy locomotives attached aud the Salem train was 40 minutes late with a single engine. The stages had a rough time of it getting over the mountain and came very near not reaching this e.ity at all. As it was, neither the Stockhridge or Wood-stock stages made an attempt to return. The latter got over the mountain after many attempts to get through the deep drift and finally stuck in one eight feet deep near Stelnburg's mill.

Finding that further progress was impossible, Driver George Bishop detached' the front "bobs" and taking the mall bag drove to Rutland. He reports the snow on the Summit to be 20 inches deep aud drifted very badly In places. R41 GREAT REDUCTION LOCAL. In Bad About Rutland Briefly Told la P.rstriph.

Dr. Caverly had notes of 126 cases, of which 05 are given as occurring among chil-dren under 14 years of age. There were 18 deaths.

Manager Atherton said that the stores received less and private individuals more matter than during the same time a year ago. A Small Boycott.

There is a small boycott against the street railroad at enter Rutland. A dozen girl, more or less, who work lu the shirt factory, live iu the settlement just across the creek. It is part of Center Rutland village, and when the horse cars were running the girls were brought to their work and carried home for five cents a trip. When the electric-cars were put in service a transfer was necessary lor passengers coming from or going to points west of the creek, as the new cars could not pass under the Central Vermont bridge. This transfer is made at the brick store, and the girls aud other passengers who boarded the cars at the settlement beyond were charged two fares.

Ohiection was made this, and the girls, through a representative, asked the road to restore their old privilege. Tbl, It is said, the management refused to do, and now the giris walk all the way to their work, and are circulating a paper by which Its signers biud themselves not to ride on the electric cars.
