C, have tried invain up to present writing to short circuit and shut downthe Ninth street electric conduit road of the Metropol-itan Railroad Company by sticking wires into the conduitand between the conductor rails but the circuit breakerswere set for such a heavy current that the boys effortshave resulted only in the instant melting of the offendingwires. It remained for an innocent old colored womanwith a rickety baby carriage to really make trouble.While crossing the track the metal tire of one of thebaby carriage wheels dropped off and fell into the con-duit through the slot. As luck would have it, it fellacross the two conductor bars and made such a seriousshort circuit that the road was shut down for about anhour until the trouble was found.
