At Shelbyville, Ind. by mistake the
natural gas was given high pressure in
the low pressure mains. and at midnight
it was discovered that over 500 stoves
and heaters in all parts OF the city were
melting under the intense heat, and build
inss were igniting in every direction. The
fire alarm was turned in, bells were
rung. whistles sounded and the citizens
were aroused from their slumbers to dis
cover themselves in the midst of a gen.
eral confla era ton. The flow of gas was
arrested end only three houses were
burned. The destruction of these build
inss amounted to considerable loss to the
owners. If the alarm had been twenty
minutes later nothing could have saved
the city from destruction.
