for the obstruction to be removed ano- "
ther pole fell and i:uck one f th
Pullman cars, making a smU hoi
in the top. The train waa then backed .
to Raleigh and at 1:30 o'clock thla aft

fared worst. The company lost twelve
poles in the city and seven of these
are down on Morgan street. iimi
street presented the most Inextricable -tangle
in Raleigh.' Swinging arc lights,',
poles and wires were all piled In the
street. Out Hlllsboro street th lt- . .,
uation'was also bad. From the textile
building of the Ar and M. College as
far as one could see the poles seem to
be on the ground. ' J ' ; " f
The Bell Telephone officer reported -
