WIRE TROUBLE FROM
STORM STILL FELT
Heavy Rains Broke Long Drought
and Puts End to Factory
ShutdOwns

Storms in the east which paralyzed
telephone and telegraph business and
eliminated several Jersey coast towns
from communication with the outside
world are passing off the North At
lantic Coast.
Outside of wire trouble, Harrisburg
got off with about two inches of pre-
cipitation, which included snow and
sleet. Trains to and from Harrisburg
to-day were all on schedule time. Up
to late this afternoon wire trouble was
still reported. There was but one wire
for telephone service and the Western
Union Telegraph Company transacted
business with one wire and by relays
to various cities.
Gus Californian, manager of the
Western Union, was of the opinion
that the trouble would all be over by
this evening.
Weather forecasts for Harrisburg
and vicinity to-day were favorable for
milder weather. Snow tiurries are a
probability during the night, but no
further rain is in sight.
Philadelphia, Dec. S.-Although the
northeast gale which ragged along the
Atlantic seaboard for three days
caused thousands of dollars worth of
damage the deluge of rain which ac-
companied it has decisively broken the
long drought, which in some sections
of Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern
New Jersey and Delaware had become
serious.
In several counties of this state
streams and wells had dried up and
in many instances it was necessary for
the farmers to haul water for their
stock from a distance, while in some
cases water was brought in by the
railroads in tank cars.
Scores of mills and factories had
either shut down or were running on
part time owing to the shortage of
water and in the coal regions op-
erations at many collieries had been
suspended for the same reason.

CARSON HOLDS
POWER TO CALL
FOR CIVIL WAR
Leaders in Fear of Conflict in
Ulster at Orange Day
Festivities.

LONDON. July 11.-With Sir Ed
ward Carson, chairman of the Ulster
provisional government" in Ulster,
and with full power to proceed IN
whatever he thinks fit without calling
another special meeting of that body.
it is felt here today that whether
there shall be civil war or peace in
Ulster rests almost entirely with
him.
That the situation is fraught with
the gravest possibilities is well recog-
nized here especially in view Of the
open manner in which Sir Edward
was guarded upon his arrival by a
body of four hundred men fully
equipped for the field. What action
Sir Edward will take is not known.
but that something will be done soon
is thought inevitable, as Home Rule
will automatically become a law
within a few weeks.
The authorities are said to be await
ing with some fear the outcome OF
tomorrow. Inasmuch as that day will
be the anniversary of the Battle Of
the Boyne, the celebration of that
event may be attended by trouble.
and on many sides it is feared that
the first clash between the authori-
ties and the armed volunteers which
will precipitate civil war may occur
then.
The provisional government gave to
Sir Edward Carson a free hand to
take whatever action he may think
necessary in calling the Ulster volun-
teers to arms. The men were de-
clared ready for mobilization at
moments notice.
The official report Of the meeting
announces that the executive has
been instructed to act in accordance
with the spirit OF a declaration as
sorting that the provisional govern
ment's "well-grounded want of conf
dence in the bona fides of the inn
perial government compels it to press
on with the completion of arrange
ments to resist by every means in its
power every attempt to impose the
authority of home rule Parliament
on Ulster"
A resolution also was adopted ex-
pressing willingness to consider any
proposal on the home rule question
which recognizes the loyalty of the
FISHERMEN to the crown and consti-
tuition and preserves their inalienable
rights under the imperial Parlia-
ment."
