The Effect of the Storm In Eastern Cittes. * It the readers of Tur Bek find the telegraph report this morning less complete than usual, thoy may at least take consolation in the fact that every reader between the Rockies and the Atlantic sea-board has the eame reason to complsin, Tt’s all on account of the great storm which raged all day yesterday, extending from Ogdon on the weat to New York city and from the parallel forming the southern border of Kansas to that mythical objrot, the North Pole. 1t was not a storm in which the wind or waas recivod from Milwaukee that the atmospherio electricity coming in on one of the wires from the country had such dynamic power as to suflice for keeping the electric lamp burning. Aljsusiness attheoffice here is subject to delay, even the Associated Press report 18 unavotdably delayed, and up to one o'clock this afternoon less than 500 words had been transmitted. AT NEW YORK New York, November 17.-~Tele: qraphic comunioation has heen gener- ally interupted to-day by an excep tionally severe electric storm. Ex- perienced telegraphers say it is the worst of the kind for many years The storm extends throughout the United States and the eastern prov inces of Cavada, Cables are hours behind, It was snowing at Builulo, “Albany, and Boston. Spow is several inches deep in the two latter named cities, TRICKING THE STORM Cnicaeo, November 18.—TIn an in- torview to-night with the manager of vhe Western Union Telograph com- pany, at 1 o'clock, he stated that the eleciric atorm throughout the country atill continued and that the regular busineas of the telegraph company was carried on under great difliculties T'he disturbance is unlike any hitherto expertanced, as it appears to act upon the wires in strong waves, caveing changing of the polarity eur- rent.

On such oceasions the telegraphic communication between varions parts of the country is seriously affected. A Bk reporter climbed up iato the ‘Western Union Taslegraph office about 1 o'clock to ree whit was the matter with " the night report. He was in- formed by the manager, Mr. Critten- den, . that the currents of electricity had taken possession of the wires and overcome their batteries, The storm begun at 4 a. m. yesterday snd kept increasing in strength all day. During the éay Omsha worked with Chi- cage,St. Louis aud Cheyenve without any battery on at either end. They simply put the wires at each end of the line in the geound with the in- straments on and tho earth made the cirouit complete., At 1 a, m. the ‘Western Union had not awsingle du- plox or quadruplex working east in the cffise. ‘There were two duplex wires working west, but they worked ‘hara. A few single wires were work- ing, four of which, between Omaha uad Chicago, were used wultimately with and without battery.

A cispatoh from one ef the boys at Bioux City brought the information that it wa. light as dayup there. One of tuw Cheyenne operators was sending a inessage and muddenly said, “Hold on a minute, Uharley.” A moment later he eaid, ‘‘Some one passed the office and yelled fire, but it’s only the northern lights,” The reporteg climb>d ap on the roof above the telegraph offioe to geta good view of the celestial shew. Thocoroua was very bright end distinct, and extended in a great arek across the northern sky. Peneils of light shot nowand then towsrd the zenith, and waves of light detached themselves from the corona and »elled off into space, breaking sgainst the deep ‘blue vault above as surf, ibreaks on the sea shore The telegraph folke «call theso earth .currents. At timos a double .corona was distinetly visible, between tthe arch and the horisen the heavens looked inky black, and above it beau- tifuily blue end studded with stars that shone with ueusual brilliancy. At the signal office the barometer wtood at 36 38, having gone up seven- tenths inches in the previews twenty- four hours, AT CINCINWATL, #pedial Dispate: (o Tx Brx. Q:xoiNNacr, November 17— Tha electrical storm began to be observed here on the eastern wiresat 8 a. o1, Tts eficct gradually icereased until al 10:80 this plece was comiplotaly sur- wounded. T'he storm reached south- eest a8 far ms Augusta, Ky. Wicen trick to beat the aurora, when, on account of the great induction it was impossible to work with one wire, they discovered that by taking two wires from the ground between any two given points aund joining their ends together, Instead of the same being grounded, a circuit was formed that could be successfully worked. In this Way eight wires between Chi- cago and Buffalo were made to do ser- vico as four. All long wires are broken up iuto short circuits by which wmeans New York and far western points are reached. AT INDIANAPOLIS, Inpianaroris, November 17.—A peculiar electrical disturbance was no- ticed in connection with the workings of the telegraph wires here this moraing. It commenced at about 8 o'clock and continued up to noan. The phenomeuna presented here was such as to charge the wires when the batteries were removed, and at times presenting a change of polarityina brief period. The use of the quadru- plex system had to be abandoned for a time, and a metallic circuit was found to work without the disturbance of current reserves.

Borden appearocd at the police court in this city and told s har- rowing tale of misplaced affection, and how it was blighted by the object thereof decamping from his home in Burlington aud coming to Omaha with all the household goods and the broken fragments of his heart. He repro sentod that he was a painter in the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy shops at Burlington, and exhibited pasves and a lotter from the muster mechanic, He made serious scousations against cortain parties recently removed to this city, among other things the uttering of connterfeit gold coin at Hamburg, lowa, and said they were wanted by United States officials in Chicago. He lingered about for two or thres days and then suddenly disap- pearod, Immediatoly after the parties he had implicated, accompanied by De- tactive Neligh, pnt in an appearande, making a general denial and claiming that Borden was a crauk, They were given the benefit of their statement and there the matter dropped for a time. About two or three weeks ago, one rainy and dieagreeable night, an individual turned up at Tae Bre office in a state of lofty and stormy in- dignation. He exhibited THE BEE, in which Borden was charged with being a crank; said his name was J. E. Bor- den, and that he was a cousin of the alleged crank, who had come to Omaha clear from Chicago t» raise tho devil generally. He wanted a retrac- tion of the article or blood from the anthor and blood and dam- ages both from Detective Neligh, whom he charged with having spirited his cousin away from the Occidental hotel on to the street. He produced a book of contracts in blank printed in the name of the Borden and Some- body’s comedy company, for which he eaid he wae part proprietor and ad- cbarged.

TALK IN THE COMMONS, LoxpoN, November 17.--Ta the pletion of arrangements for his restoration to the throne, Sir Charles Dilke, under secrotary for foreign office, promised to table correaspondence with the governments of Peru and Chili relating to Peruvian bonds. Gladstone stated it was not intend- ed that the cffices of first lord of the treasury and chancellor of the ex- chequer should be in the fature re- presented by one person.’ The present arravgement, he said, was not good. He did not consider himself as being ago of 16, aud the dislocation was the result of the strain of a heavy musket: on his youthful bones, He could scarcely raiso his arms and was really almost helpless. Another gencleman presented his claim for pay, and as proof that he was really injured in the army exhibited a great stiff toe. ‘When asked how he happened to be wounded ‘thero he replied that he wes in the ocavalry and his horse rid upod!the Yoo ons day . as his was) about to mount. Another aud an equally unwarlike injury was that ex- h?biud by a gentleman of about 46 years of age. He had a useless finger on hisright hand. The use of the hand was not destroyed by a rebel bullet, bat it was caught and crushed in a rope while the claimant was handling some government mules down south. Of the others, some had rheamatiem, and others suffered from diseases the result of long sitting in the saddle. Some few had heart dis- ease, Each individual was thoroughly examined by Drs, Hall, Wessler and McCosh, who took his age, weight and complexiov, and gave a diagnosis of the case, rating the man’s remunera. tion in proportion to the injuries sus. teined, The man with the broken toe will probably receive about $2 per menth, snd the man with the crushed finger the same amount, Dr. Hill, baving a few moments to npare, was asked if the supply of pen- moners was NOT RUNNING SHORT, He replied that on the contrary the ‘fnumber referred to the examining ‘board here seemed to be inoreasing, ‘but he ascribed that to the fact that the number of clerks in the depert- ment at Washington has been in- creased and the work was done much faster than formerly, He then re- lated a number of instances of curi- ous wounds which pensioners had ex- hibited o the board, saylng that it “was really miraculous how some of the 1| wen could live afsor having suffered so much.
