New HAVEN. April 2S.-Telegraph nemen
In Connecticut have been struggling hard the
past two weeks with the general tangle OF
crossed wires and fallen poles resulting from
the recent gales.
Many crosses" from curious causes are re-
ported. but none were more curious than that
found by Arson Williams. a Western Union
lineman on the Shore Line Railroad. Mr..
williams's cross" was not occasioned by the
gale. however.
Two Of the main through wires between New
York and Boston were reported in trouble
east Of New London. They positively refused
to work at all In the morning. but from about
ii o'clock in the forenoon until IL o'clock at
night they were found to DO all right.
From this popularity they came to be known
as the twelve-hour wires" and Mr.. Williams
was directed to find out what the matter was
with them.
He located the trouble" as being between
Noank and Poquonnock Bridge. and then
walked back and forth and forth and back
along the rails with his eyes scanning the row
OF telegraph poles and wires In q vain search
for the mischievous cross. He kept up the
hunt for two or three days. and finally. Just as
he had given up In despair and was swing

then he saw that the web was the really
gigantic product of several spiders, its big
white surface iiapping idly to and fro between
the two wires which IL connected. Its face
was bespangled with big gems OF dew in fact.
the condition was the same as II the two wires
had been connected with o sheet OF muslin
saturated with water.

When the llneman reported the matter to

lowing day he told OF his adventure with the
