A leaky cable at North Barre dis.
rupted Barre Montpelier service on the
lines of the New England Telephone
Co. yesterday afternoon and caused no
end of annoyance to upward of rs sub
scribers, among them Jones Bros, to
whose office the calls for the Is affected
stations were diverted. Nearly 100 lines
were assembled in the cable and the &C.
ton of the water, once it found its way
through the cable insulation, promptly ,
accounted for the paralysis of service on
several trunk lines between this city and
the capital Wire Chief George Fl. Col
amer was aware of the trouble soon /
after it developed, and though the line
men summoned to the task of repairing
he break were handicapped by the heavy
ain the work went forward throughout
he afternoon and evening. Charles Glib
)ons the cable expert, was working in i.
Newport, but he was called back to
Barre last night to make the repairs
permanent. Service on most of the lines
vas unimpaired to-day,
Shortly after o'clock Tuesday after.
loon the fire station received telephone
all for assistance at IA Clark street, $
where the family of Giovanni Magni oc-
upies house owned by Judge H. w n
'cott. A crew of regulars and the chief C.
esponded in the auto truck and found \
threatening blaze under way in the b
itchen. Chemicals were used in making
uck work of the fire, although the \
ouse was filled with smoke and the at :,
ack was directed with some difficulty. 8,
irs. Magni, who said that the family's +
)ss of personal effects was covered by .,
lsurance, explained that she built hot
re in the range and that in her absence :,
pstairs, some clothing on rack near by ?
ecame ignited. Her efforts to extin- !"
uish the blaze having failed, she sent .
n the firemen. Wall paper was burned ~
ear the stove and some of the kitchen :
oodwork was scorched, but the blaze "
as headed before it could go further q
he loss of clothing and slight damage u
the house will not exceed $50. :, g
