MEDIA, Feb. 1O.-Media has been
without its efficient telephone service
to-day. The trouble was caused by
one OF the heavily charged electric
light wires, erected upon the Westing-
house system, coming in contact with
u wire OF the telephone company
about l o'clock this morning The
heavy current entered the cable box on
the roof of the telephone exchange

n hundred Wires, and in little time
the box was allame.
Walter Howell, who lives mex tdoor to
the telephone exchange, was awakened
by the light. With the aid OF his sis
ter, who handed him water, he extin-
gulshed the lire before 1t had time to
consume the box and communicate

or made useless, and it will be two or
three days before tho damage can bc

Before the reading OF the minutes
Secretary Lee objected to them, as
they contained statements that he said
were not true. They condemned him
as having accepted n bribe, without a
trial. He did not believe in being con-
vieted without hearing, aud he was
ready to meet his accusers face to face
any time or in any place. He had been
attacked behind his back. All he want
ed was fair play.
After the minutes were read MIR. Lee
again protested against the adoption
of them as an unfair attack upon him
In his absence from the Board without
u hearing, but he said he supposed 1t
was no use protesting.
DIR. Wales said Mr.. Lee should have
been in his place and then he would
have known all that was going on.
Mr.. Iee said he had never been ab-
sent from the meetings of the Board
but twice, and II ha had known those
charges were to have been brought ne

the $50 was in part payment of what
he bought, and there are theylocu-
ments. that prove IL, said Mr.. Lee, as
he threw settlement down ON the
table, 'It is a lilo that / took a bribe
from AIR Efagan," said Lee, and can
prove the report lie that | ever re-
ceived bribe from Franz Gingle-
bach"
| DIR. Springer said there was no cause
whatever for all this excitement. Too
much had been said already, and the
less said tho easiest mended.
A sharp oolloquy occurred between
DR.. Shortlidge and Mr.. Lee, the doctor
accusing Lee of reporting to an even
ing newspaper that there was some
crookedness on the part of the Board
OF Health, and he was responsible for
all this trouble. He then stated how
that DIR. Springer complained of Lees
neglect of business in the preceding
board and how that the board had
great difficulty In getting along with
him, and that other members of the
board said that Lee was always ar
rayed against them.
Mr.. Lee said he didn't want to be
secretary Of tho board anyhow, as he
was not paid for it. He was appointed
by the City Council az Registrar of
Deaths and Burials, for which he was
paid salary, but Council made him
secretary of the Board OF Health.
DR.. Shortlidge said there was where
the difficulty came in.
Mr.. Nanrrump said this all arose
from having n secretary that did moi
act with the board.
Mr., Lee said the trouble all arose
through politics. the majority OF the
board being opposed to him politi
cally.
Dir. Springer said that Mr. Lees nc
tions had nothing TO do with the hir,
ing OF detectives; they were appointed
to watch tho executive officers. lie
admitted that he had complained ol
