An Interesting Interview Concerning the

An Interesting Interview Concerning the
Gas Mains.

WELLsBuRc, W. Va, February "a
tenement house on the farm of John Lewis,
Jr., one mile east Of town, burned down
last night. 1t was occupied b John Msloy,
and was caused by some clothing being
hung near the FIRE to dry taking fire. and
communicating the blaze to the building.
The household goods were nearly oil saved.
There was no gas used within . mile Of the
building, and it is not in any way response.
BILE for the accident.
In an interview with General Duval and
W. c. Barclay, two Of the directors Of the
GAS ompan held to-day, they stated that
the gas pipes or mains used by them were
furnished by special contrac with Dennis
Long & Co., Of Louisville, Ky; that the
pipes used are standard in quality and war.
ranted by that company; TINT they are the
SAM kind used by many principal cities
tor gas pipe, every Joint OF which had been
carefully tested to stand q pressure of30o
pounds to the square inch. Three siz"'>
pipes are used, the largest OF vi If 81
thirty pounds to the foot, and the ymallest
weighs twelve and a half pounds to the foot.
1t is claimed that the pipes would resist q
pressure Of 600 pounds to the square inch,
The 800 pounds test being for the purpose OF
detecting any air hole that may be found.
Mr.. Barclay said that in one case where .
hole the size of q cambria needle was found
the pipe was refused and broken up. The
directors also stated that they had been
offered pipes at o lower price than that Of
The company named. but they chose the
nresent pipes because Of the desire TO pro
cure the best article manufactured.
The company has been busy with about
twenty.fv men employed, and claim to
have done even more in some cases than
the town ordinances reqire, Pipies
have been inspected and tested, cellars ex'
amined, and escape pipes placed along the
line. 1t required q great amount OF work to
drill holes in the frozen ground for the par-
pose OF putting the escape pipes in but the
work is being done with the utmost des.
patch. The gas company has not realized
current expenses since It's organization and
have not paid their secretary anything for
services although he has devoted his whole
time to managing and experimenting the
affairs of the company.
There is q feeling among Q large element
of the citizens that 1t would be Q great mis-
fortune to Wellsburg il deprived Of natural
gas, and they would resist any such move
as strongly as ifa necessary Of life was TO
be taken away. There is another element
that are afraid Of its use and think il dan.
gerous, and earnestly ask it to be shut OF
from town, but the latter are daily .becom.
ing fewer in number, because Of . change
in opinion.
