Electric Storm Stalls Trolley Lines Turbine at Thamesvle Power Plant Put Out of Business
 City Cars With New London And WiIimantc Lines
 Come to Halt-Danelson Power Plant Helps Out.

For about half an hour on the city trolley lines and for an hour on the lines to the north of here the wheels stood still on Friday evening. when heavy electrical storm struck the city about 6.45 and disabled the power plant at Thamesvile. Just how much the damage will be to the Thamesville station had not been learned up to late hour Friday night.
 From 6,45 till about 7.20 the cars were stalled on various sections of the lines where they happened to be caught in the city, although a number of the cars due in the square at 6.45 were ablt to coast in and wait there till the power was secured.
 DsnieIson to the Rescue.
 The shutdown of the Thamesville plant made the south Windham pow CT station helpless, as it's rotary is fed from Thamesville, and this crippled the north end of the line for ove ran hour. Power for the city lines was secured in about half an hour from the power plant at Danelson, but the crippled Willimantic division was not running again for about an hour after the tie- up.
 Caught Slater Hall Crowd. It was an awkward time of the even
 
 ing for a tie-up to take place for the local lines, as it was in time to inter . fere with the crowd starting for the Bas- Clef concert at Slater hall The trolley officials notified the concert managers by telephone of what had happened, advising them to delay the opening of the programme little, and the power to get the line running again was secured so as to get the pecple to the hall in good time.
 Besides hitting the Thamesville sta- tion, teh electrical fluid played pranks with a number of cars and made a heavy draft on the available extras, so that by the end of the evening pretty nearly all the thirty box cars at the Greeneville barn were in use. Three | cars on the New London line came in dark with the lamps burned out, and one on the Willimantic line.
