WORKED WIRE HAVOC.
Cars, Telephones and Telegraphs All
Out Of Service.

LYNCHBURG, Va, December H.
Lynchburg. experienced the worst sleet-
storm in its. history. late last night. A
heavy precipitation freezing on trees and
wires was followed by a gale. which sus-
pended the telephone service, stopped the
local street railway and electric business,
and put both telegraph companies out of
commission.
> For. hot,rs one long-distance telephone
circuit was the only wire working out
Of the city. The damage to trees-through-
out the city cannot be estim-ted. as thou
sands of them were FRUSTRATED and many
ruined. The street car service was de-
moralized, and several of the divisions
were not opened for traffic until late this
On account Of numerous tangles Of cleo
trio light and telephone wires caused by
broken circuits, the city is in darkness to-
night. most Of the residences being dark.
Neither was there current for commercial
power during the day.
The Southern Bell Telephone Company
reported nearly 1900 telephones out OF
order tonight, and twenty-five iinemen are
being hurried here from Richmond and
atlanta. Two weeks will be required at
least to restore the system In tempo
rary way. ,.r. =
Country roads are blocked with wires
and fallen trees, and several rural mail
the railway trains were delayed by lack
of telegraph facilities.
The storm seems to have been central
here. and meager reports from the coun-
try districts indicate that the damage has
been heavy.

CHICAGO, December 14.-C. H. ~Bos-
worth, formerly president Of two Walsh
railroads, was again on the stand when
the trial of John r. Walsh was resumed

he found no overdue paper In the Chicago
National Bank. Today. however, he de-
clared that he had found number of re-
newals of memorandum notes. He fur
Their declared that it was not customary in
good banking practice for the president
of the bank to have notes discounted and
allow it to be shown on the books that
the money went to somebody else when
he had used 1t himself. e. s--. -
The cross-examination Of Mr.. Bosworth
did not change his testimony in any ma
terial respect. ,
letters written to Mr.. Walsh from the Of
fee of the controller of the currency in
washington calling attention to excessive
loans amounting to $3.OOO,O0O. The reply
of Mr. Walsh to one of these letters was
also introduced. In 1t he declares that
the loans mentioned would receive imme-
date attention. Some Of them. he said,
had been paid and others reduced to near
the legal limit.

honor tonight at the seventh annual din
ner of the New York Chapter of the
American Institute of Barking. came out
for Gov. Hughes for President. The
declaration of Chancellor Day was greet

the attacks on rich men and corporations.
Chancellor Day said:

attacks. I can't understand them. Per-
haps because 1 live in the country and
not down here, where bad people are.

comes to the banks. We hear that they are
rotten and we need the panic, we are told.
to show up the rotten conditions. and to-
day we read in the days news that Mr..
Roosevelt is glad to accept responsibility
for the panic If it has shown up the rotten
places and men.

bruce Case Witness Leaves London
for America.

LONDON. December IA news agency
says that detectives today visited the
house at which Robert C. Caldwell, an
American witness in the bruce case, re-
sided to arrest him on the charge OF per-
jury. but they found that he had sailed
for New York Thursday last.
Caldwell was the chief witness of the
prosecution, and at the hearing yesterday
Mr.. Atherley- Jones announced that the
prosecution had decided not to rely upon
any evidence given by that witness.
At Caldwelrs residence 1t was stated
that he had been Ill since he appeared on
the witness stand and that his doctors had
advised him that-it would be unsafe for
him to take the stand again. 1t was
frankly admitted that Caldwell had gone
to America, but the landlord said he did
not know on what steamer. Caldwell told
him. he added, that he intended to return
to England within three weeks.
The fact that Caldwell had left the
house was a surprise to the detectives,
who had been watching the place for a
week. and they stated their belief that he
was still there.

BRISTOL. Va, December 14.-Ex-Secre-
tary Leslie NJ. Shaw of the Treasury de-
livered the closing speech of the campaign
of Bascom Slemp, son of the. late Repre-
sentative Campbell Slemp, for Congress at
Norton, Va, tonight.
I'VE owe debt of gratitude to Grover
Cleveland for maintaining the integrity of
our credit said Mr.. Shaw. 1T seems to
have been his special task to hold the
country against the popular sentiment
having its root in greenbackism. In my
judgment very few men who have held
the Office would have combated the over
whelming sentiment of his own party for
the free coinage of silver and the very
pronounced sentiment in the opposition
party"

ut has been the great privilege of Theo-

this country the people and not the cap
italists govern. Few, If any. previous oc-
cupants of the White House have been as
fearless as he in the discharge of the ex-
ecutive functions of the government. I'm

law and the universally of its application
has been demonstrated as seldom, If ever,
