THE TELEPHONE IN THUNDER.
STORMS
The Danger OF Using Them While
the lightning is Flashing.
Huntsville Courier-Journa al

Louisville Courier-Journal.
During the lightning discharges yesterday
afternoon the telephone wires in the northern
and northwestern parts of the city became
dangerously charged with the electric fluid
and large number of telephones were des-
troyed. The telephone inspector reported
ffty-two lines open and seventy'fve micro
phones burned. The open lines were broken
psrtly by the wind and storm and partly by
burning by lightning. The telephone system
in this city, rs in every other, is protected as
much as possible from the danger of the
lightning, but perfect security cannot be OBJ
tanned, and although exceptionally fortunate
heretofore, the loss yesterday was very
large. Down Main street and in the business
mart of the city the microphones suffered
much, being burned by the lightning, in
some cases almost completely destroyed, and
in others scorched and damaged so badly that
the repairs necessary will amount to almost
IA much as new instrument. To use the
teenhone in thunderstorm is sometimes
onite dangerous, and the man with the in
strument to his ear runs the risk of being
plugged ON the head with thunderbolt
direct from Jove. Mr.. Charles Hill, the
present inspector here, while formerly en-
Gagged in the same business in Cincinnati, was
one day shot in the ear by q stroke of light
ming, and has since been deaf in that or
gan. This accident is likely to occur
any day if the proper precautions are not
taken by the users of telephones. Every
instrument is provided with a safety. plug,
which, if arranged when the storm b. giins,et-
fectuaily cuts the electricity oil from the in
struments. The damage done yesterday was
done to instruments which are in the centre
of long lines, that have more than the two,end
telephones on them. A boy named Willie
Carr. who stays in the coal office of James
& Co., was engaged in telephone, CONVEX
satiop with a man at the float on the river
