on Lexington street, was gutted by
flames and the occupants driven out
in scant attire. The damage is esti-

When the fire was discovered an
effort was made to send in an alarm
fromla nearby fire box but the storm
had torn down the wires. The te1e-
phone was pressed into service and
ire headquarters was notified. On
the arrival of the department a scream
was heard and maid employed by

TRIAL
OF GEO. MOSH.ER
UNTIL FEB. TERM

The trial of George Moshier of this
city, charged with manslaughter as a
result of the death of William Costello
in the automobile accident on the OK
Hill road, has been postponed until
the February term of the criminal
superior court. Before court opened
this morning there was a conference
between States Attorney Cummings
and Attorney Henry E. Shannon, rep
resenting the accused.
Later it was announced that mas
much as there were certain details of
evidence which the state desired to in
yestigate further, a postponement had
been decided upon. Deputy Sheriff
Cunningham went TO Baltic yesterday
and found Arthur Lucier, who was
chauffeur of DR.. Osborn's car on the
night of the accident. Lucier was
brought to this city today but re-
turned home when he learned of the
postponement. Moshier was driving
the car at the time it left the road
and Costello, another passenger, was
killed

Millions of Dollars of Equipment Representing Eleven
Years of Technical Study is Frustrated by Tremend-

On the New Haven system II years
of technical study, and equipment rep
resenting millions of dollars became
temporarily useless today.
The entire electrical service snapped
last night at, the beginning of what is
said by old railroad men to be a small
storm as compared with those of years
gone by Even the signal system of
the road, which has never in the his
tory of teIegraphy been fully out OF
commission, went by the board as the
result of crossing high tension circuits,
and although the roadbeds to Boston
and New York were partly opened, the
running Of trains had to be accom-
plished by semi-guess work and under
the most hazardous conditions. Con-
sductors In some instances were re-
ported as crossing fields and utilizing
farmhouse telephones for the purpose
of ascertaining right of ways.
Thousands of passengers besieged
the local railroad stations from six
O'Clock last night on some Of them re-
turning to local hotels for the night
and others remaining in senf-s1eep at
the station hoping against hope for
trains to or from New York.
It was estimated two thousand per-
sons were in the waiting room at one
time this morning clamoring for trains
in various directions.

FIRE DESTROYS
COMMUNICATION
WITH The WEST

Telegraph service to the west to-
day is practically discontinued, owing
to extreme damage to wires of both
the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph Cos. Few wires reach New
York and these are via Boston or
Montreal.
The Western Union Co. suffered
most severely as every line in their
astrous fire that broke out IN the
cable house of the Wall street dock
at about 2 a. m. How this fire origin
ated is not yet known but is believed
to have started by inducted current
from the highly charged wires of the
New Haen railroad almost directly
above.
The house was destroyed and lead
and vulcanite Insulation burned from
200 wires in the pit.
Those wires are the only wires in
the east conveying Western Union
communication between New York.
Boston and Canadian points. The loss
of the company. in New York is in

destruction between New York and
New England except by devious
routes.
A gang of men, experts in their
line, lis being rushed to this city from
metropolitan points but owing to the
small compass in which they can work
several days will elapse before trunk
lines are restored.
On the lines of either company
no service can be had to Danbury,

lines of which are down in unknown
spots.

CONNECTICUT COMPANY BUCKS
THROUGH COUNTRY SNOWDRIFTS:
ONLY ONE SUBURBAN LINE OPEN

Manager Charles Chapman OF the
Connecticut Company admitted today
that the transportation problem in this
city had been crippled to a great ex-
tent Through the falling of wires and
poles owned by other public service
corporations
I'm the city of Bridgeport . said
Mr.. Chapman, 1--WE have. managed to
keep service in the center only and
would have probably survived with
out discontinuance to the extreme ends
had it not been for falling wires and
poles over which we had no, control.
Where our current was not cut off we
managed to keep the tracks clear and
ran cars. though, decessarily, the
schedules went to pieces.
''The lines out of commission this
morning, over which through service
will probably not be resumed until 4
O'Clock today or even later, are:
z Main street above Grand. where
heavily weighted wires with little ten
sile strength gave way and carried
poles across the street.

MAIL SYSTEM IN
GREATEST TIE up
IN LOCAL HISTORY

The tie up in the mail system is the
greatest, in the history Of the local
post office. The last mail train from
New York come through at 800 last
night and from that time until twelve
O'Clock this noon there was no mail
from any city west Of Bridgeort. At
this time a train came through bring
ing all the mail Of the night until the
12:47 moon train. The outgoing mail
to New York was sent regularly from
the post office to the station where it
was placed upon the first train that
went through.
i The delay of the mails was felt gem
orally throughout the city. not only
Shy the business houses affected by it
but by those who for the first time in
years were unable to obtain their
morning New York papers.

Fire chief Daniel E. johnson and ms
chauffeur, Michael Balm, were close to
death last night when a telegraph pole
fell near Madison avenue and Grand
street, missing the chiefs car by only
a few feet The pole carried with 1t
scores of live wires that fell in tan
eled mass around the car.
Chief johnson was on his. way to
the station of Engine company No a
in Madison avenue Chauffeur Balm
had been threading his way among
tangled wires, fallen trees and poles
and, altogether, was having a rather
busy time of it.
Just before turning from Grand
street into Madison avenue, the chauf-
feur veered to the left side of the road
to avoid wire ENHANCEMENT. As he
did $50, there was a terrific cannon-like
report. An instant later, huge pole
toppled to the street, a few feet in the
rear of the chiefs car
Following the first report, there. was
a series of explosions like rifle fire as
the scores of live wires parted. The
whole street was enveloped in green
blue flame.
The wires fell around the car and
