TROLLEY WIRE IN THE STREET. of di The Curve at Sixth and King Streets Takes a Drop. By the breaking of the stay wires, the curve in the Peoples trolley wire at Sixth and King streets, dropped and blocked traffic for some time last evening. The stay wire were broken by the trolley pole of one of the cars flying off and become tangled in the cross wires. The car was in motion and before it could be stopped it dragged the wires into the street. The feed wire coming in contact with the track made a crack like a pistol and a blaze like lightning. Sparks and ziz zag electricity were flying In every direc tion, making the passing of teams very dangerous. Superintendent V'an Trump of the Wilmington City Rail way lent several of his men to the Peoples company and they with the assistance of the repair crew soon had the dangerous wire back in its place. One of the men was sent up a pole with a rope attached to wire and haul ed it up from the ground. Teamsters in general wanted to pass under the wire before it was fix ed and the assistance of the police was required to prevent them running iu to danger. STRONG SUN BEAMS.
