rhawing Out the Meter

An intelligent hotel employee in Indianapolis
attempted to thaw out the gas meteor on Thurs
day night. His success startled him. The SEN
t"eL thus tells the whole story
Last evening, just before six o'clock, Mrs.
Furtrr who ia managing the Pyle House dur
ilg the disability of her sick husband, rushed
intu the office, where large number of board
rrs and guests were waiting for supper and
hfNt begging them not to get excited, or to make
any disturbance that would alarm Mr.. Porter,
Who was sick abed, upstairs, informed them the
house was on fire III the cellar. or
course there WAS an immediate fush
Tor the outside and cellar, where it
was ut once discovered that the gas meter was
ahlale, the flames reaching the floor and spread
my themselves fearfuly A number pitched
INTO the red and blue bluZes with blankets, old
clothes, water, and endeavored to suppress them
pnt all TO little or no purpose, until some one
more conslderate than the rest suggerted that the
Ha- he turned OFF. A wrench was thereupon secu-
red,tlle gas turned off and thus the flames were
rXtnguished without much damage, beyond
aI' exceedingly lively scene for few minutes
u appears that having had some trouble during
INC past few cold nights by the gas meter
Freezing, one of the men adopted rather dan,
serous method of thawing it out. He wound
the end of II stick with lot of old rags, which
he thoroughly saturated with coal OIL. This
Torch, abaze, he held under the pipes and meter
long enough to melt the lead that formed the
packing where the pipes connect with the metei
sld tile fire was the result.

NH. AND MRS. BARNEY WILLIAMS, LAsT NIGHT.
Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams did not fail in
the expectations of the very large audience
which greeted them at the Opera House, last
evening Their Irish jokes and humor in The
Fairy Circle kept the audience convulsed
throughout the performance of the drama, and
III the after comedy the risbes were equally
excited by Mrs. Williams i'll her role of Ne
tssd, which, although overdrawn, was not made
ridiculous, but was laughable in tho extreme. Her
song Of "Polly Won't you Try me Oh ?" was ell
core1. As an evening of fun this entertainment
has not been surpassed in Wilmington. At the
conclusion of the drama both Mr.. and Mrs. Will
hams appeared in response to loud calls, and
she retiring he advanced to the front of the
stage, where he made a short speech of ac-
acknowledgement Of the compliment paid him and
his wife, thanking the audience and wishing
" that each of you may awake in the morning
with hearts as happy as you have made mine."
During the remaks he was interrupted by
voice III the gallery calling for a song, to winch
he replied in his lcisl brogue, zone lrishnan
AZ time, if you please.
The audience was one of the largest which
has ever gathered in the Opera House All the
seats above aud below were occupied, and many
persons stood up in the aisles unable to obtain
seats.

up the ice and carry it away, and this morning it
is still fast The rain freezing on the pavements
and ground made everything slippery as
glass, and number of our people met with
falls.
Yesterday evening as Cloud Pierson, landlord
