Tho rain and freexe of the past
two days played havoc with the wires
of all the light, telephone and tele-
graph companies. Every company
M«tag bustnesa out of this city have
wires down
The telegraph companies are hav-
ing the least trouble as they have a
havey wire and are not compelled
to maintain a return circuit, hence
do not have so many of them.
The lectrlc light and power plant
is the worst crippled of any. Some
tints about 2 o'clock last night a
nnmber of wires went down ground
shape and it was only a short time
before noou that they were able to
talk to the outside towns. The elec-
tricity for charging the butteries ut
the telephone plant is supplied from
the light plant and fortunately the
batteries In that office had been
charged yesterday and were sttong
enough to run through the day.
Large crews of workmen were sent
out by both the light and telephone
companies to clean up the trouble.
The trouble on the light wires did
not extend to the arc lights through-
out the night.

the almost Impassable condition of
the street! there was limited a’eml-

elected: 8. G. Kennedy, presldc.it;
W. C. Body, secretary, and C W.

The special business of the asso-

building nn overhead or undorgreund
crooning over hath railroad track a

ly lessen the danger from moving
tralna on the tracks and will aid
the appearance of this ivnitue ma-

Now, World, are you honest and

Tate Brady. If you are honest, why
when a few days since, a man died
who received the fatal bullet In a
quarrel between gamblers, over a
woman of til-fame. In a house of
prostitution over the building owned
and leased by the chairman of the
republican central committee, Wal-
ter I. Reneau, you never mentioned
the fact. Again when the Robinson
hotel was arrested for gambling not
once but twice, why didn't you men-
