ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
A Second Gas Explosion In the
Twelfth Street Main,
BY Which Seven Mes We're More or Less
lnjsred---Fuu Particulars Of
the Casualty, "

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock sew.
en- men were burned. the gas from the large
main on Twelfth street becoming iguited
aud flashing up Ike powder. The workmen
had connected a small 3-inch gas pipe,
which runs north and south on Market
street with the new main pipe which is be-
ing laid down on Twelfth street The small
pipe being full of gas when the connection
vas made, the gas naturally went into the
large pipe A couple of men were engaged
in making the connection with the large
pipe perfectly air tight by pouring
melted lead around it. In some manner
the heat from the lead ignited the escaping
gas and it flashed up probably six feet out
Of the hole burning everybody that it came
in contact with. The fash was not of as
long duration as the one which happened
several weeks ago, near the Court House,
hence the men are not so severely injured
The following are the names of those in
jured.
Henry Albinger, residence Sixteenth
street, face aud hands burned.
Superintendent Dillon, residence Six
teenth street, face, hands and arms badly
burned. This gentleman received the most
serious injuries, as his whiskers were COM
'pletely burned of
s. NJ Dsrrah, face and hands slightly
burned
Vim. Rankin, resides at lie Eighteenth
street, right arm and both hands very bad
ly burned.
c. II. Cook, resides at No. 22O Alley Ii,
hands and face burned slightly.
Mr.. A F. RAIDER, delegate to the con-
vention from Nicholas county, who was on
gagged in watching the soldering operation,
burned about the eyes BY the fash.
Henry ShallcroSs, hand burned In put
ting FIRE out on Supt. Dillon.
Dr. Dickey who was passing the spot at
the time was called upon. He dressed the
burns, assisted by DR.. Vim. Bowcock, OF
Clarksburg, and DR.. Hoy, Of PIT. Pleasant,
both of these gentlemen are delegates to
the State Convention.
No blame can be attached to the Suprr-
intendent, Mr.. Dillon, nor his assistants,
as every precaution has been taken ever
since the previous accident, to keep fire
away from their work, and the very
peculiar feature of this explosion is the
TACT that no fire was near, The gas was
ignited by the intense heat Of the lead.
iust how such thing can be done we are
