near the p, w. & B. depot. about 7.30
o'clock last evening were badly fright
ened By one of the most brilliant dis-
plays of the caprice OF electricity ever
known in this city. A Delaware avenue
car had just passed French street to the
depot. 1t struck the bell-shaped support
for the trolley wire, opposite the
Merritt House In an instant the
whole of Front street from Lombard
street TO Market was brilliantly lighted.
In the words of q man who saw
IL, the electricity flashed in all directions,
resembling the display of what is known
as "fower-poi" in pyroteehnics. The
car which caused the trouble was rapidly
followed by an another. When it reached
that point In the wire it came TO a stop,
and received its baptism of fire. The
trolleyman. conductor and passengers
took French leave and many of those on
the street beat hasty retreat. The wire
supporter burned through and the trolley
wire fell. Then the display ceased. The
accident did not delay travel very long.
