DARKNESS SUPREME IN
CITY FOR SHORT TIME
Accident at Power Plant Cuts on
the Current-Fiise Alarm of
Fire.

Darkness reigned supreme last night
fer twenty minutes or more just about
10 O'Clock, and midnight marauders,
providers, anarchists and others con-
nected with the dark professions, II
there had been any here, might have
held full sway.
An accident at the power plant &C.
cured shortly before 10 O'Clock, at
the hour when the streets are crowd
ed by late shoppers. The lights sud
denly went out and stygian darkness
pervaded the city for about twenty
minutes.
When the lights first flickered and
then suddenly ceased to be lights at
all, every one was joking about the
matter, but when minutes passed ana
the glow failed u appear in the elec-
tric light globes, every one began to
get worried. Merchants in the busi-
ness portion of the city made hasty
descent upon the stores selling candles
ana in few moments the business
houses locked like so many glow
worms had been hired to do duty
while thep liant was in disorder.
Timid shoppers made haste to re-
turn home while others more bold
used the temporary darkness to ad-
vantage. Loaded craft did net hest
tate to attempt to make port, depend
ing upon the darkness to aid them Ill
elading the vigilance OF the policemen.
Someone. wishing to be real smart,
turned in an alarm from the corner
of Twenty fifth street and Washing
ton avenue and the apparatus from
the Central station quickly responded.
On arriving at the tox nothing could
be learned as 10 the whereabouts OF
a fire

practically certain that she will be
ready for delivery TO the navy de-
psrtment by the first of the coming
year. The ship will have her first
trial--a four days dock trial--at the
shipyard sometime next month and 1t
is planned to send her out on the Of

turns from that trial. the finishing
touches will put on and then she

However, the citizens are not max

saved; indeed, they would not have
made an outcry if the expenses had
been that much in excess of those
of the previous year. What pleases
them most of all is the increase in
efficiency, the elimination of graft, the
