The trolley wire of the Fair Haven and Westville road pulled out a socket just below State street and as it struck the sprinkled cobble stones emit ted flashes of light and sheets of flame, With a burning and hissng sound. The electric patrol was called and after the current was cut out the wire was re- placed in the socket.
 Scarcely had the repairs been made when the wire pulled out of the oppo- site side of the socket, and another splitting, fuming and sizzling ensued, but it was soon squelched by the men with the rubber gloves. During the blockade, which lasted but an hour or so, the cars were shunted over the cut out.

cotton held in the six warehouses here is
smaller than in many years at this sea-
son, being less than 1000 bales. The re-
cent advance caused many holders to let
GO and probably 1900 bales have been sold
here this week, while there is none re-
naming on plantations whereby the stock
may be increased. In several of the
small towns in this part of the state the
last bale has been sold and shipped, thus
winding up the season with them.

hospital. The local authorities are using
every precaution to keep any such cases
from reaching here.

Dudley Gatewood as deputy. They will be
opposed by w. W. Hooks, with w. p.

Not Theatcr-GOers.
The fact about Washington theater audi
ences most noted by visitors is the alb
sence of the men really prominent in pub
he life. The President is never seen in
one of the theaters and IL is rare when
the face of a member of the cabinet Is
found even at the most notable perform
ances. Few of the senators of note are
theater-goers, and one seldom sees even
the representatives who take a real part
in the work of the House.
The reason for this-or one OF the rea-
sons--is that social duties absorb all the
time which men Of affairs have for recrea-
ton of any kind. The social grind is hard
and there Is no Sinking It for men whose
families are in the social swim, or who
realize the value OF social acquaintance
and prestige.

MANY COUNTERFEIT NICKLES.
Found Circulating Within Virsinia's
Penitentiary.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 24.-The Virginia
pententiary authorities are puzzled over
the discovery that counterfeit nickles are

They are satisfied that the queer is

The execution of the counterfeit is good.
The theory is that the mould or molds
