Heap of Trouble Caused.

For two hours yesterday afternoon the
IRE telegraph system OF the city was IN
helpless condition The trouble was caused
by an electric light wire falling across one
OF the fire telegraph wires. The two wires
being brought into contact surcharged the
fre line with power sufficient to create
flames in the battery room at headquarters
several stray taps OF the gong called the
attention of the superintendent OF fire tel
egraph to the trouble, and Fastening TO the
battery room he discovered the flames Had
the diificulty not been promptly detected
the entire battery force would probably
have been burned out, and the loss 10 the
city would have been great. Late last night
the wires, with the exception OF one dis
trfct, were in working order. The. acci-
dent Will require several days TO repair.

neither spoke; bnt there was flash
of Joy in the face of each, as quickly
succeeded by one OF seeming mortlf

The Colonel thought he heard a
smothered laugh at this. He turned
like a flash upon Israel, a sudden
suspicion coming to him.

pistols? There was something wrong

A smile appeared on the formers lips
and the latter returned it. A mom-

his hand impul5ively. The Major
advanced and grasoed it firmly.
They stood there holding each

then the Major observed slowly and
emphatically, as if he were stating
an indisputabla fact which he had
just discovered:

returned the Colonel quite as
positively, and as if by one impulse,
the two locked arms and walked
off.
