MARROW EscArE.-Ihe gas works came
near being the scene Of a disastrous acei-
dent. Thur-l4y, September llth, under the
following circumstances At about :
a. H.. Just a. the retorts had been re-
charged, the employees were startled to
observe the gas pouring out in all direc-
tions. filling the building. Col. Spauldlng,
the sdporintea lent, being at once notified,
removed the plugs At different points and
threw open the do)rs Of the retorts, and
soon the danger was over Itseems that three
valves were closed, and in few moments
longer a terrible explosion would have Ger
tainly taken place. Col. Spaulding showed
rare courage and presence Of mind and the
thanks Of the community are due to him for
thus ayertng. at the peril of his life, what
might have been a sad catastrophe. The
valves are never handled by any person
save the superintendent, and who the u
norant or malicious person Is that tampored
with them has not Yet been ascertained.
