BROKEN TROLLEY WIRE. As a
westbound street car was crossing
First avenue last night it was brought
to sudden stop by the parting of the
trolley wire behind it. The ends of
the broken wire fell to the ground
and the rubber jacketing was set on
fire. The wires writhed upon the
ground like fiery snakes until ten
feet of the jacketing had been burned
from each. Crowds collected at the
broken ends, warning drivers and BIZ
cyclists to avoid death by electrocu-
t1On. The current was turned off and
the ends were fastened together.
There was another break later near
Seventh avenue, but both of them did
not delay the service long.

stone saw mill at the capitol grounds

it is more extensive. 1t has an i'm
provement which was invented by the
owner of this mill, water and sand
pump, by which grit" is continuously
and automatically furnished the saws.
The saws, as everybody knows who
has seen them, are not saws, but
thin steel bars placed in gangs and
drawn lengthwise across the stone. |
This machine has two gangs. It will !
be used in cutting tufa 81
