The Sixty-ninth New York, the lighting Irishmen," got under way for the Texas border, but under cir cumstances that caused veritable explosion in Camp Whitman. At the very moment of entrainment a tele- phone message was received from Major General Wood at Governors Island relieving Colonel Lewis D. Conley and Lieutenant Colonel John D. Phelan of their commands. The only explanation vouchsafed was that these officers were laboring under physical disa bilities.''
 The whole camp was thunderstruck ty the news, but the men of the Sjxty-ninth were more than that. They were in despair. To fight with out Colonel COnley seemed even worse than remaining listlessly at Camp Whitman, and more than OminouS murmur was heard in the ranks The men are closely attached to their officers, who have worked hard in the service.

STORM PLAYS HAVOC
 WITH WIRE SERVICE
Over 400 Subscribers Cut Off from Communication Last Evening

The violent thunder storms which swept the city yesterday afternoon, ac- l companied by rains of almost cloud burst proportions, played havoc with ] the telephone and telegraph systems, l put electrical service out of commits 1 sion, tied up trolley traffic and in sev- i eral instances industries were affected ] by the failure of power. Tn addition ! to this the heavy rains flooded more 1 than one cellar and this morning 1 there were many amateur gardeners l mourning the loss of their little farms l for the heavy downpour in many cases literally washed the gardens away. | There was but little property damage 1 from lightning.
 Over 400 Phones Affected. ! The first storm, which hit the city 1 at about o'clock, began to cause l electrical troubles and from then on 1 during the evening more trouble fol- 1 lowed. The Southern New England Telephone company was badly cr1p- 1 pied by the storm and on the local exchange no less than 100 lines, af- fecting more than 400 individual sub scribers, were put out of commission. Toll service was also badly impaired by the storm and all yesterday after noon it was impossible to get Boston
 on the wire. In some instances de- fective insulation on cables caused phone trouble, but most of the dl11l- culty was caused by lightning. Or the 100 lines out of order, fully thirty
 were in the Berlin district.

 he had several gangs of men working
 until 10 o'clock This morning other
 gangs went on at o'clock and at
 present most of the damage has been
 repaired and with pleasant weather
 tom orrow all service will be again in working order.
 No damage was reported at the telephone exchange on Court street and due to the fact that the big switch boards are all equipped with lightning ancestors there was no danger for the operators.
 Electrical Service Impaired. For some time yesterday after noon the trolley service was badly tied up. Most of the trouble was due to lack of power, but one car was struck by lightning and several others burned out their controllers.
 At the office of the Housatonic Pow CT company it was stated that the storm interfered with their electrical service and all high tension wires be- tween this city and Waterbury were
 put out of order. Last evening lights f1ickered on and off and the circuit was broken and then thrown in again and this morning, in order to insure satisfactory service pending repairs to the western high tension lines, it was necessary to switch the city onto the Hartford circuit

CAPTAIN 0'bR|EN REsENTS REPORT Rumor That His Ship Had Been
 Hung Up On Tideflats at Cor
 dova False in Every Way.

Captain O'Brien, who is in con- |mand of the Northwestern. is noted along the coast from Ketchikan to Nome as one of the best natured men who navigate the waters of Alaska, but when he got in port last night he was angry clear through over the report that his ship had grounded on the tideflats at Cordova.
 The report had been circulated around town during the day that the failure of the vessel which had been reported as leaving Cordova at lO:0O o clock Sunday night, to reach Valdez this morning was due to her having suffered the same mishap as that of the Alameda last spring when she was hung up on the tideflats at Cordova for several hours. Efforts to trace the report to it's source of origin was fruitless and the contradiction is made in order that the enviable re- cord of Capt. O'Brien as careful navigator may not be allowed to suf- fer from the circulation of the false report.
 Capt. O'Brien explained that the Northwestern had been scheduled to leave Cordova at 10 o'clock Sunday might and that after the passengers iand crew were all on board the lines had been cast off and the ship an- chored few hundred yards from the Cordova wharf. A dense fog pre-.
 vailed and he had decided to wait un- til it lifted before negotiating the
 winding passage out from Cordova. The ship had left the wharf in order that she might be ready to sail at any time but it was not until near
 morning that she sailed.
 The freighter Latouche was also fin
 the Cordova harbor while the North
 western was there, and. like the lat
 ter vessel was delayed by the fog from taking her departure.
 Captain O'Brien is naturally proud
 of his clear record as a navigator and resents any imputation upon his sea
 manship, but it is doubtful if the per-
 son who originated the false report,
 and certainly none of those who re- peated it had the slightest. desire to
 rob him of the credit to which he is entitled as a careful navigator who
 is always alert to provide for the safe ty of his ship and the lives of the pas sengers and crew entrusted to his care.
