Ran said to an APpEAL reporter last
night There is gas in the majority OF
the cisterns. Some fourteen years ago We
came near losing a man by an explosion
in one OF the cisterns. II was before the
day OF water-works, aud we used TO fill,
the cisterns by hauling water in wagons.
On one occasion the cistern corner Main
and Jefferson was being filled. Tom
Quinn, fireman, was detailed to watch
it and keep the cap on, and keep
people from falling into ii. Tom concluded
that the cistern ought to be full enough,
and to ascertain tied lantern to a string
and let it down, lying on his stomach the
while and watching it, when zip, the
thing exploded. tearing up the cistern and
the whole intersection OF the street. Tom
was thrown against an adjacent building
and received injuries which confined him
to his room for weeks. He said he thought
he was going TO heaven.
Another cistern blow up corner Win
chester and Main, and good many peo-
pie insisted that it was done by an earth
quake, though the firemen knew that II
was done in looking for a leak in water
