sooner did he open the door of the dining
room than there was loud explosion, fol
lowed by big blaze which set the curtain
afire.
An alarm was sent in from BOx29, corner
of Main and Monroe streets. The appa-
ratu. quickly responded and the flames
were at once eXtinguished.
Investigation disclosed the fact that gas
had escaped from pipe which had been
covered with a blind-rap," but whlcn
had been removed yesterday IN order 10
put ia fixtures. The introduction of q
light was the only requisite wanting Tor an
explosion.
fine shock was terrific in its force. Il
literally shivered the ordinary wood panel

and shattered every pane Of glass IN the

was over.
