Puddles of Water May Become First
Glass Conductors.
New YORK, May 7.-There was a
series of performances in William
street that partook of the nature of cir
Gus. 1t was In that part that lies between
Beei man and Ann streets. At the curb
in front of 164 loaded truck had been
backed up to unload. This made it nee
essary that horses carrying on street
traffic should pass around the truck and
approach the curb on the opposite side
of William street. The pavement is un-
even and the holl0ws were puddles of
water. The moment dray horse put
hoof into one these puddles he sprang
into the air with snort. When he
alighted, if he was a particularly well
fed horse, he tried to run away
After a few exhibitions of this kind
the word was passed along William
street that an elrctric wire had broken
under ground and that there was fun to
be had. Hundreds of employees in the
stores poured out on the sidewalks and
watched the passing conveyances. The
conveyances were mostly trucks, and
the crowd took especial delight when a
lifeless old cart horse came poking along.

fellow opening his sleepy eyes in sur
prise and climbing into the air the crowd
roared. One old cart horse, by mishap,
executed tremendous double act He
got his hind hoofs in one puddle of wa

The plug got so much electricity in him
that he ran half q block before he could
be stopped. The news passed from one
truckman to another as they met in the
lower part of the city, and in half an
hour afterward every truckman gave
the electric puddles a wide berth.
Superintendent III. J. Smith. of the
Edison Electric companys station at $50
Pearl street, from which the underground
wires that run through William street
proceed said yesterday the electric cur
rent was slow tension, and that even if
there was an escape of the fluid in the
street the effect would be very slight. 1t
would only tickle the horses nerves a
little. The gathering of water in puddles
in the pavement would serve undoubt-

tricity. A gang were set to work on the
conduit, and break about two inches
long was found on the west side Of the
street. Whether there is a correspond
ing break in the conduit on the east side
remains TO be determined. The current
was shut off before noon and the dancing
of the horses ceased. Superintendent
