 Electric Lights Out
 Gripping of the light and trolley service for nearly an hour took place at o'clock last night when a short circuit blew out tra ansformers and a part Of the big switchboard at the 1 Highland Court electric receiving plant Of the Bristol X Plainvills ] Electric company. The roar of the explosion frightened the employees so that mad dives for safety took place and one man went through a window. taking the sash with him. Fortuna ately no one was injured by the eN- i plosion or accompanying flame. The circuits for lights in homes and trolley lines were restored after an hour but the street lights were not ! in operation throughout the night and repairs for that circuit were not fully completed until today. Gas and candle lights were very popular for short time.
