by the Untamed Current.

PATERSON, N. j.. Aug. ls.-Al sections
Of this city are In darkness tonight.
Lightning played severe pranks with the
wires OF the electric light department OF the
Public Service Corporation. burning out
many OF the twenty-five circuits In the
city.
Gangs Of men were sent to flnd the
breaks, but as the lines cover a radius OF
seven miles. extending to Little Falls.
Haledon. Towtoa and Clifton, no repairs
were made in time to benefit the city proper
In the early hours OF the evening. Fortunately
the cars were running, the lightning not
having affected this branch Of the electric
service.
Those who live tn isolated sections OF
the city. where electricity Is the only IL
luminant on had considerable difficulty In
getting to their homes. The breaks. It
was said tonight. would be repaired before
tomorrow afternoon. Very little damage
was done otherwise by the storm. although
the rainfall was very heavy while 1t lasted.

He Interrupts His vacation At Saratoga
for Harm ony in Brooklyn.
Senator P. d. MoCarren came down from
Saratoga yesterday on Democratic peace
mission and spent the evening at the Claren-
don Hotel In Brooklyn in negotiations to
make it successful. In four or five Of the
Eighteen Assembly districts which have
been all along under his control factional
rows have grown up and bitter primary
contests are threatening.
In his anxiety to settle these controversies
and bring about a. much harmony as pos
sible all along the line In the approaching
campaign, Senator McCarreu abandoned
the pleasures of Saratoga and will remain
in the active political arena until to-mor-
row afternoon. whom he will resume his
vacation. His chief concern last evening
was over the disturbed conditions In the

were Robert 8. Gillen, Patrick Welsh and
Magistrate Henry Nlrlong. When the
long talk was over Senator McCarren said
that. while peace had not yet been estab.
lished between the warning Statesmen, he
/, was very hopeful that a resumption Of
negotiations to-day would bring about
such harmonious relations that distur bing
primary contests would be averted.
So far as he was personally concerned he
would, he declared, spare no effort to main
tain his reputation as the Original Demo-
cratic harmonizer' In Kings county. With
regard to the Second Eleventh and Twelfth

that he had virtually abandoned all expeo-
