ABOUT 1000 PHONES.
AFFECTED BY LEAK
Small Amount of Rain Getting Into
ManhoIe Vets About $50 Wires in
Flat Street Cable

Little drops of water, little grains of
sand, make the mighty ocean and the
pleasant land" or so goes the poem; but
little drops of water in telephone cable
Sunday night did not bring such pleas
ant result.
About 6 o'clock that night 1000 tele-
phone subscribers suddenly found. that
their telephones were not in working or
der. Telephone company employees
started an Immediate investigation and
found the trouble in the manhoIe in
front of Latchis theatre on Flat street
The water from the rain in the afternoon
had found a small hole in a 400-wire
telephone cable, and, leaking in, had
stopped the service effectually by wetting
the wires. There were some spare wires
in the cable, but at least $50 lines were
affected, meaning at least 1000 subscrib-
erS.
-Four men were at work all night and
at next morning the lines were all
back in working order. Enough water
flowed in through the leak to wet about
ID feet of the wire.
