The rainstorm Wednesday afternoon
was probably the severest of the season.
1t came on so suddenly that many who
were on the Streets were unable to reach
shelter, and were treated to "A drenchng.
On School street the wires were pulled
down and broken IN two places by the fall
ing Of heavy limbs of trees. These wires
were part of the alternating circuit Of the
Bellows Falls Electric Light .Company's
plant, and by their destruction the current
vas shut of from all the stores and dwell
ings, and on the regular day or continu-
Gus circuit, as it is technically called.
The efficiency of the electricians under
charge of Foreman Connors, was well
shown in this emergency. They immedi
ately went to work, the electricity being
shut off at the power station, and, not
withstanding the pouring rain, subscribers
were again provided with illumination in
less than twenty minutes. Considerable
minor dama-e was found later, in various
parts of the village but not sufficient to
deprive anyone Of light
