DAMAGE BY FLOOD
To the Natural Gas Meters-BrOaH at MT.
de Chnntal to be Repaired.

To the Natural Gas deters-BroaH at MT
de Chantal to be Repaired.
The Natural Gas Company of west
Virginia suffered other damage besides
the breaking Of gas mains. Over two
thousand meters will have to be over
hauled. As most people know, the
meters are filled with oil, and, when
any loss occurs by evaporation, are re.
filled. During the food the water got
above them, percolated through the
glass face oyer the dial plate and filed
the meters with water, in some caseG
forcing out the oil. They now fail to
register the amount Of gas used, thus in.
aicting considerable loss on the company.
There will be loss OF several quarts
Of oil on each meter. The cleaning out
and fixing will also cost great deal OF
money. In the meantime the coasum-
ers need not be alarmed, as it Is not
their loss whsn the meters refuse to
register.
1t will take between five and six
thousand feet offour-inch pipe to lay the
new line from Mt. De Chantal Academy
aud the residences in the vicinity. The
work is being pushed to completion As
rapidly as possible.
To finish all repairs will cost the com.
pany over s., 900, and in case the meters
were injured more than anticipated, the
amount Of damages will reach a higher
figure. Some meters may be irretriev-
ably ruined,

THAT GAS EXPLOSION

over at Martins Ferry Resolves Itsslf Into
u First Glass mysteFy-No Accounting for
the Gas.
The readers Of the INTELIlaENcRE are
familiar with the details OF the terrible
explosion at Martins Ferry on wednes-
day evening, February 10, at which time
the house Of William Kuntz was
wrecked and nine persons burned, two
fatally.
Where the gas came from was, and ID
vet a mystery. II was supposed at the
time that 1t had escaped from the street
main on First street and seeped through
the ground into the cellar.
When the employees Of the natural gas
company dug down to the main in front
Of the Inflated house, they discovered
that there was no break or leak at that
point, and no gas had escaped there and
none could. The opening has not been
filed, and any person can see that the
main is in as good, II not better condi.
ton at this particular point than any
where else.
The natural gas people and others
made thorough examination and are
at loss to know where the destructive
gas came from. The nearest leak in the
main is under the railroad crossipg OF
the O., L. & W. road and O. & P. switch
in front Of the blast furnace, two blocks
south Of the Kuntz house. and the
next nearest under the pond near the
Laughlin mill.
Some people in the vicinity Of the
Kuntz house believe the gas that caused
the explosion was from the old gas well
along the pike about six blocks above
This hole was bored to q depth Of 1890
feet by the Ohio Valley Gas Company
10 1888. Gas and salt water has been
issuing from the well ever since, and by
this time the casing has probably wasted
from the salt water, and 1t is possible
that the gas might have worked through
the earth IN the Kuntz house.
The house Ia over the Bsrea sand belt,
and the gas from the well might have
caused the explosion.
The gas has been found in a number
OF cellars at Clark's and Pauls additions
at times during the past year, though
the houses are some distance from the
mains. The people cannot understand
where 1t comes from.
The other day a gentleman living on
Main street, in Olar2'a addition, two
blocks from the nearest gas main, dis.
covered a considerable quantity Of gas
in his cellar. He became excited and
notified the superintendent Of the line.
The superintendent found the cellar
full OF gas, but no pipes or mains in that
vicinity. he could see no way by which
the gas had gotten there, and on invest-
cation found that the nearest main was
on another street over two blocks away.
Some Of tho residents Of the upper end
OF Martins Ferry have been very much
alarmed ever since the Kuntz explosion,
and discoveries Of gas in cellars, coupled
with the Ralston explosion and the
irregular supply on account Of water in
the mains, has caused increased uneasi.

MahiDgARecord,

Deputy Mayor Jepson Is making FOL
himself q record forgiving offenders who
come before him just about the punish.
ment their cases deserve.
Yesterday morning Chris Cline, a
well known character, appeared in court
charged with being drunk In the Second
ward. Officer Herbert testified az to his
condition, and in the hearing II came out
that Cline had said TO Mayor seabright
the last time he was before him that he
hoped he would be sent up for six
months the next time he appeared in
court. On that statement the Mayor
had dismissed him. Cline, in spirit OF
braggadocio, reiterated the statement.
and Judge Jepson promptly sent him to
tha nil inr half Year.
