The fearful current destroyed nearly five hundred dollars worth of machinery and instrument and must have killed Operator Kelliher had be been in tha room at the moment. As it was he was just beyond tbe door la sn adjoining room, and was knocked senselesa for several minutes. The bouse was set on fire, but this was soon subdued by Mr. Kelliher and hi family. Tbe window glaa in the entire upper story of tbe building was shivered to fragments and the telephone waa literally torn to pieces .and its nickle mounting reduced to molten na tal in a flash. The entire system of wires was burn ed and twisted, and completely wreck ed, down to -their juncture with cables, and it looked for a short while ee though tbe place would be wiped out of exist ence.

The office and apparatus it practical ly wrecked and must be removed throughout in every particular, but when, or whether, this will be done, lies in government province ami that means ddiberatkm to sr the les-t, though it may be the ncceity and value of the service there will warrant an acceptable expedition in restoring it.
