A BROKEN MAIN.
Millions of Feet of Natures Fuel
Makes its Escape.
Loss of Human Life Results From the Ac-
cident,


FlNplAY o., Feb 2i.--This morning
about eight o'clock the high pressure nat
ural gas main of the Northwestern Ohio
Gas Company, running from the Kagy and
other wells in Van Buren,, this county,
and supplying the cities OF Toledo and
Fostoria, bursted from too much pressure
at point seven miles north of this city
and two miles west of Van Buren,, with
terrible results. The force of the explo-
sion was so great that several rods of the
pipe we're split open, and the gas, escap-
ing in immense quantities, ignited
in an almost singular manner. A piece
of the pipe which had BEEN blown from
lheNnau fell bac's upon the iron, produc.
ing spark of fire, which the gas caught,
and instantly great explosion occWred,
the flames sweeping across and along the
broken pipe with lightning swiftness,
catching Elias Miller, a farmer, who was
passing at the time of the accident, in its
deadly embrace, burning him SO severely
that he can not recover, and
setting fire to telegraph poles and
fences all along the line. Miller
was rescued from his perilous pos
tion by neighbor, Charles Hartman
who, after placing the burned man in O
bed, mounted horse and started for {
physician. In his hurry the horse he was
riding, stumbled and fell, throwing Hart
man to the ground, and upon his head
fracturing his skull, and inticting Other
| injuries, from which he died this even
ing Both Miller and Hartman art
young men without families. II is
| not likely Miller will recover, The
damage is hard to estimate, as al i'm
mense amount of gas escaped before th'
officers Of the company could shut off th'
source of supply at the wells, and stop th'
| COT tlagrQtion. In the meantime Tolcd'
and Fostoria were practically without ga
until other wells could be turned on, whicl
| YVES done as soon aspossible. 1t is clea
there was no one TO blame, and the ter
rible accident, with its results, was one 0
those things for which no human agenc.
can be held responsible.
