Mishap at Electric Power Hour Causes Great Inconvenience
An accident occurred at the electric power house at the corner of Thirty Fourth and McCulloch streets last night at seven. A governor failure caused the engine to run away and belt the dynamo. The big pulley shattered, a spoke struck a window, and another hit a steam pipe, tearing it off. Lights were out until 10, and the electric motors were down all evening. Repairing will take time, inconveniencing shoppers on the South Side. A wagons line operated between Twelfth and Fortieth streets to carry passengers.
