USDFR TROLLEY CARS TIED UP.
Water in the Sixth and Eighth Avenue
Conduits Causes Serious Delay.

Water in the Sixth and Eighth Avenue
Conduits Causes Serious Delay.
One OF the worst tie ups since the installation
OF the underground electric system on the
surface lines OF the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way Company occurred yesterday on the down
town section OF the Sixth and Eighth avenue
lines from Canal street to the Battery place
terminus. The blockade lasted about six
hours. during which time horse cars had to be
substituted for electric cars.
The tie-up was due to the flooding OF the
subway at Canal street and West Broadway.
through which run the wires feeding that Sec
ton OF the line below Canal street. The wires.
owing to their immersion. were burned out and
left the cara without power to operate them.
When the underground trolley system was
constructed on West Broadway. great difficulty
was experienced by the engineers at the Canal
street ,rossing because Of the sewer which the
lines had to cross at that point II was this
sewer that led to most OF the trouble yesterday.
The sewer crosses West Broadway very near
the surface and the engineers found 1t neces-
sary. in constructing the trolley line across
Canal street. to run tho subway below the
sewer. The sewer Ia q brick one. and very
large. which made the depth OF the trolley sub
way very great at that point. The ground at
the intersection is moist. that part Of
Canal street having been q swamp form
erly. and for this reason stagnant wa
ter has been collecting below the sewer
since the construction OF tho subway.
This water did not make It's presence felt
until yesterday whom II attained sufficient
depth to cover the feed wires and burn out the
| fuses. This happened little after g o'clock at
| the beginning OF the rush hours on the two
| lines. Fortunately that part OF the line north
| OF Canal street was unimpaired as we'll as the
line along Canal street to Broadway. The cars
| except those below Canal street wore run to
Broadway. and the passengers transferred to
tbs cable lines The passengers on the cars on
the disabled section were obliged to walk
When 1t was found that 1t would take q long
| time to repair the wires because OF the depth
OF the water. fourteen horse cars were put on
below Canal street after the electric cars had
been hauled out OF the way
| A gang OF thirty men were put at once to
work draining the conduit. but owing to the
| quantity OF water that had collected 1t was
| nearly 3 o'clock before the wires could be
reached and repaired One Of the engineers In
| charge OF the work said that the burning out
| OF the wires was not an unusual accident, but
| the quantity OF water that had caused tho
| break yesterday had surprised him. Tho
trouble. he said. could not in all probability be
permanently remedied unless the sewer were
reconstructed
