CITV , WITHOUT LIGHTS
At 7 O'Clock Last Night Current
iyia Turned Off on Account of
' Sleet and Danger From llroken
'j, Wires i-No Cars Were Operated.
. ; Candles- Used at Yarborough.
' The city of Raleigh had a desolate
appearance last night, for not an
electric light burned In the city and
only a building here and there was
'. lighted, and some of those faintly,
'-for In, inany Instances candles sifd
to le resorted to. At seven o'clock
last,' evening Mayor Johnson ordered
' the power house closed down f.s
' poles had been broken in many
Vj . places, by the leet and wires wore
strung along the sidewalks and also
across the roadways. Until the elec
trie plant was closad down it was
1 very dangerous. The street car com
pany had not been warned and nil
v," of the cars wore left where they
ware when the power was turned oft.
One car was left opposite the Raney
library, ons in front of the supreme
1 Court building, one on Blount
j, .street, one nsar West street and one
;v.-ou Saunders. A light was placed on
e each car and a man left in charge.
The night was unusually quiet for
very few people were to be seen on
) the street, thsre was no rumble of
the passing cars, and only now and
then was a conveyance to be seen.
The stillness was occasionally broken
by the crunching of tho ica as some
1 ' one passed along the street, or as a
, , limb would come crashing to the
ground. Those who passed through
' ' - the capltol square beneath th3 large
' and majestic oaks did not seem to
' realize the danger that they wen;
In. Ther3 was at least one person
' who had a narrow escape. Just as
a man passed from under one of the
, , mighty oaks a portion of a large
limb broke and came crashing to the
' granolithic pavement.
It is not usual that the city of
- . Raleigh has a slaet that does so
' i, much damage. During the greater
part qf the day yesterday it did not
look like the gleet would amount to
' ? much, and at one time during the
f day It appsared to be melting, but
towards nightfall it got worse and
then it was that the wires began to
t break. On Salisbury street, just
west of the capltol, where twenty or
thirty telephone wires leave a cable
and go in various directions, the top
of the polo supporting the cross
arms brykq and fell to the sidewalk.
It is a solid pole and was snapped
off like a pipe stem, which shows
what a terrible weight it had on it.
Last night the Postal Telegraph
was entirely disabled and the West
ern Union was in tho same fix as far
as wirs to the south were con
cerned, but the sleet did not seem (o
be very bad north of Raleigh. The
telephone companies suffered as had
or worse than the telegraph compa
nies and it was difficult laet night to
get any connection whatever.
. Despite tho fact that there wore
i no electric lights the streets were
j'fcot dark by any muans for the clouds
J were not sufficiently thick to prevent
tho moon , from giving some light
and this combined with the light af
' forded by every thing being covered
With Ice made tho streets very light.
i Like an Inn of the Long Ago.
"i In the far distant past wh?n the
ordinary lamp, when gas and elec
; trie lights were unknown, light was
Women Avoid
Operations
' . When a woman suffering from
female titrable is told that an oper
ation is necessary, it, of course,
frightens her.
, The very thought of the hospital,
the operating1 table and the knife
strikes terror to her heart.
It is quite true that these troub
les may reach a stag where an ope
ration is the only resource, but a
great many women have been cured
by Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound after an operation has
been decided npon m the only cure.
TVi rtNiniMa n.nA mnat (rmtAfiil
statements possible to make come from women who by taking , .'
Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
mads from native roots and herbs.' have escaped serious operations, as
evidenced by Miss Bote Moore's ease, of 307 W. 86th St , K. Y. Bhe writes-
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-"Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured ma of ths very worst form of female trouble and I wish to express
to yon my deepest gratitude. I snffsred Intensely for two years so that
I was unable to attend to my duties and was a burden to my family. I
doctored and doctored with only temporary relief and constantly objecting
to an operation which I was advised to undergo. I decided to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; It eared me of the terrible trouble
and I am now la better health than I have been far many years.
This and other nch eases should encourage every woman to try Ly
dia E. Pin kham's Vegetable Compound before she submits to an operation.
iirs. FinKnam s aianaing inviumuu w vuu
. Women suffering from any form of female weakness art invited to
promptly oonununtcate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From ths
symptoms given, the trouble may be located and ths quickest and sorest
way of recovery advised. . ' ' y" ' '' J,
furnished by 'tallow candles, and
even In this day and time they often
have to be resorted to. They: were'
brought Into use ' last night at the
Yarborough House and it is not
known how many other places. The
lobby of the YarboijDUgh, looked, like
the lobby of an inni might have ap
peared a century or more ago. On
each side of the register was a can
dle and several were on the cigar
stand,' and on the ornamantal cigar
cutter were two tallew candles. The
faces of the men gathered in the
lobby could be seen only with diffi
culty, every thing being dim and In--distinct.
There were a large number
of legislators in the lobby, a larger
number than usual, and the dark
ness possibly made the noise more
noticeabl3. It was not loud but
sounded like a bee hive on a Bum
mer's night. In the writing room
men sat around the table and tried
to accustom themselves to the small
tallow candles which gave a Boft
steady glow; at the tables in the din
ing room guests, many of them per
haps for the first tims in their life,
ate the meal by the light of a can
dle, and ever and anon some one
would come to the office and want a
candle for their room. Ons gentle
man stepped up to the desk on which
is kept the register, leaned over and
lit his cigar by means of the candle,
and as he did so remarked, "That
is the first time in thirty years I
have done that," and looked down
at the candle as one would look at
a long-absent friend. The scene at
the Yarborough House was truly one
of the long ngo, and those gathered
at the hostelry will, no doubt, long
remember the night in Raleigh when
the building was lighted by means
of tallow candles.
Toner Turned On At 11 O'clock.
The plant of th Raloigh Electric
Company was started up this morn
ing at 11 o'clock and the street cars
that had stood in different parts of
the city since early last night moved
off and began to mak3 their regular
runs, much to the gratification of
the general public. , On account of
there being no power The Evening
Times was badly crippled, for the
linotype machines are operated by
motors and it was 11 o'clock before
they could be started. The officials
of the electric company say that they
had their line in readiness to turn
the currant on by 10 o'clock but
could not find the mayor or chief
of police in order to get permission
to do so. There was no trouble
about the wires of tho electric com
pany, but many wires of the tele
phone companies were across thj
street car and electric light wires,
which made it very dangerous. The
lights would not hav3 been cut off
or tho cars stopped, it is said, if the
mayor had not ordered it done.
The sun worked a wonderful
transformation this morning in a
very short time. When the first rays
of tho early morning sun broke:
through a rift of clouds the trees
presented a beautiful sight in their
glistening armor of ice but this rap
idly disapeared and by 10 o'clock
thay had been freed of their burden
and the mighty oaks in the capitol
square had paid but little tribute to
the cruel ice which last night caused
the limbs to bend almost to the
point of breaking, but only a few
gave way undsr the weight.
It will probably be several days
before the telephone systems get a'
ot their telephones in good working
order, for wires are broken in many
places. Both telegraph companies
were badly crippled thi3 morning,
but this afternoon their wires were
in much better shape.

State's Credit Asked.
Amending chapter 30"i. private laws
of 1905. relating Uo Waynesvillo Rail
road and Power Compan y. Mr. lireese
explained the bill. Some of the provis
ions are unusual, looking to tho guar
anteeing of some pf the bonds of the
railway and power company. The bill
asked the state to, guarantee the pay
ment of certaiqit-fnf the thirty-year
bonds, and In.. lieu the capitalists who
are to take ovej the construction of
the road, offer 'do. give absolutely to
the state stock to the amount of Dl
percent of the -total capital. Ho ar
gued that the baeklng which the state
would give thecSmpany, and thereby
enable it to strengthen. Its credit, would
cost the state ytWg pecuniarily, for
in the event tharjjthe, road Is ever sold
under foreclosure rr. ether forced sale,
there is a provision that any claim the
state may have dn the property shall
be paid first reimbursed in full for
evefy dollar the (state - hs spent (if
any) beforo the stockholders can get a
cent, etc. -ft;ie ':
Mr. Breese dwelt -upon the great
good the building of . this: road would
accomplish and tha; .?e very day foil
need of such e. ''ifed"-fcibw it would
open up resoureel"t)(."tJiat Section of
state, etc. j v
Tho state is not asked indorse the
bonds, as requested, "until as much as
fifty miles of the road has; been actual
ly built and In actual operation "sat
isfactory anil acceptable to the ma
jority of the state directors on the
board."
Mr. Odcll said the bill WftS a matter
of responsibility, the. Indorsement of
J460.O00 of bonds'. That, as there are
many senators absent .v today, he
thought it best to let the matter go
over for future consideration. Mr.
Breese agreed to Its postponement to
11 o'clock Friday morning, next, and
it was made the special forder for that
dav end hour. -t. ..f
