IN BAD CONDITION.
Wires Are Badly off Between Here and
South birmingham.

Every other man one met on the
street yesterday morning and late into
the afternoon was either an electric
light, trolley or telegraph lineman and
over his shoulder was slung a coil of
wire. The electric light company, the
trolley companies and the telegraph
companies had every available man at
work and linemen were everywhere in
evidence.
The force was none too great, as
wires We're down In all parts of Wor-
cester, and between this city and South
birmingham everything in the shape
of wire was tangled up In a knot that
was hard to straighten out.
| One peculiar feature Of the storm,
! that came to the surface when linemen
| reached Worcester from South Franz
ingham, was the fact that there was
only small amount of ice on the
wires between South Framingham and
Boston, all the trouble lay west of
South birmingham, and the greatest
difficulty was experienced by the tele-
graph companies between Worcester
and Oxford.
The trolley wires both in and out Of
the city were in bad condition yes
terday morning but the cars all ran
l.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany was practically tied up in the
morning. A large force of men went
to work early and a Boston line was
opened by dinner time, but a direct
New York wire was not secured until
late in the afternoon.
The linemen found the wires badly
broken and tangled in the city limits,
and in the western suburbs it grew
and ~ rtfi11 oil IL.
completely straighten out the net
work of wires between this city and
Springfield
The Postal Telegraph Company sent
gang of men from Worcester early
in the day, and force met them about
half way between Worcester and South
birmingham, who had started from
the latter named place and repaired
the wires as they moved along Boston
wires were working early in the morn
ing, and communication was had with
New York city via Boston.
The telegraph linemen pronounced
the storm to be one of the worst they
ever saw in this section Of the coun-
try.
The fire alarm system was as badly
twisted as the other lines, and men
worked for hours on the cross arms
of the poles. Nearly all the over
head wires of the fire department were
in fair shape, last night but it will
be at least another day before the sys-
TEN is in perfect working order.
Today the telegraph companies will
be sent so or 60 men from Boston and
other points along their lines, and the
Strengthening out process will go along
merrily as long as daylight lasts.
The different companies owning wires
carnot estimate their losses, but they
will amount to several hundred dol
lars.
