house and only a few lines were cut out. The high tension went out at about o'clock but was soon repaired.
 Four Fire Alarm Boxes Out.
 The lightning burned one of the poles on lower Boswell avenue and owing to interference with the electric light wires, four fire alarm boxes on Boswell avenue, and Hickory street were cut of over night. Several other boxes were cut of, but repairs were made in the early evening. The Bos- well avenue circuit was crippled earl fer in the summer by lightning.
 Crippled 100 Telegraph Limos.
 The storm proved a severe one for the telephone company between 75 and 100 lines in this city and surrounding territory being put out of commission by the electricity. The trouble was not confined to any particular. section but extended all over the district. The heavy lightning at about six o'clock caused good part of the damage.
 ThamesviIls Power Station Struck.
 From about o'clock until early eve- ming there were no cars over the Willi- mantle trolley line, but during the lat ter part of, the evening the line was in use, although no schedule could be maintained About o'clock lightning struck the ThamesviIle power house, disabling the big rotary and leaving only a small engine to supply power for all the lines. After that time, on account of the lack of power there were no cars over the West Side line, but one or two on the Laurel Hill line and none on the Falls run. The first Yantic car after s o'clock left the square at 8.45 and after that time cars were run over the line as often as possible. When the plant was crip- pied car was left standing on Sa- chem street and another farther up the line, and these were not moved until nearly o'clock.
 No schedule could be maintained on the New London run, but cars were run between the Greeneville car barn and that city when possible. The Central Village cars were kept nov ing, though nowhere near on schedule, the 7.45 trolley not leaving until two hours later. The Norwich and West erly line suffered little from the storm and was running about on schedule all the evening.
 Likely to Cripple Trolley Line Again.
 The damage to the rotary at Thamesyille may be such as to inter fere with traffic for some time, as was the case earlier in the year. There is now but one small motor to supply power for the district. With the idea of meeting any such emergency as this, two additional 500 horsepower motors are being installed but are not yet ready for use.

- Spartanburg, May 26: Following
a strike Of sixty-nine operators in the
weave room Of the Clifton mill No. 2
yesterday afternoon, thirty-five weav-
ers struck this afternoon at 3 o'clock
at the Spartan mills. There are about
1876 employees in the weave rooms Of
the two mills, but the strikers were
composed of men, women and chill
dren employed in the old mill. The
strike today was for higher wages.
The weavers get from 81 to II cents
per cut and they demand an increase
Of approximately 20 per cent. A cut
is piece work. After the walk-out,
which was orderly and quiet, the
strikers held a conference and de-
cided to make their requests Of the
officials. No action has been taken.
An official Of the mill stated that they
did not regard the strike as serious
and they believed the strikers would
resume work. They will not grant
the increased wages. At Clifton many
Of the strikers today resumed their
work. These men struck because
they alleged the superintendent re-
fused to grant them a conference and
to recognize their union, which is in
its infancy. For some time, 1t Is said,
efforts have been on foot to organize
unions at the cotton mills. 1t was i'm
possible to take in all of the employees
on account Of various circumstances.
The union men are attempting to or
ganize the employees Of the weave
rooms and hope thus to command the
situation. An organizer has been in
this vicinity for some time.

Unqualified approval Of the
Bourne parcels post bill was given by
Postmaster General Hitchcock in q
report on the measure sent to the
senate postofflce committee and made
public last Saturday. The consoli-
dation Of the third and fourth classes
Of mail would greatly facilitate the ad-
ministration of the mail matter, the
postmaster general said. The de-
livery parcels to the limit of II pounds
on all rural routes, and with the de-
livery limits Of free carrier offices was
likewise approved as economic and a
convenience to the public. The es-
tablishment of the unit Of area of in
variable dimensions on the basis OF
latitude and longitude and various
charges for several zones was refer
red to as certain to lessen the cost
Of transportation and stimulate the
general trade in small wares, increase
postal revenues and pave the way for
other postal reforms. I'm my judg-
ment," concluded the postmaster gen.
eral, 'the proposed measure will bene-
fit all classes Of the people, except
those carriers now engaged In the busi-
ness Of transporting small wares.
While the patronage Of these will be
lessened, it will have the effect to
limit their business to the more
weighty freight which Is distinctly the
business of such carriers" Neither the
house nor the senate has acted on the
bill.
