POUGHKEPPSIB, Dec. 15.—For two hours @ night or #0 ago the en- tire County of Orange was \n total darkness and no cause could be found, It now develops that the reason the villages were in darkness was that a brakeman on the Central New Eng- land Rallroad bought a new pair of overalls here and threw, or thought he did, the old ones into the Hudson from the bridge. i The garments landed on the high} tension wires of the Central Hudson Gas and Flectric Company, caused a Sort circuit and burned out a long vection of wires, shutting off all pow- er on the west side of the river. anal FLYER HELD AS AUTO THIEF.
