Malicious Mischief.

On two nights last week the city
lights were not burning. The cause was
the cutting OF a wire on Orange street,
thus cutting the circuit. There has of

times since this company began its con-

done in two instances with the ordinary
pliers used in cutting wires. Should the
persons who do the work be caught the
