| "A rather singular incident occurred in
Armagh on the night of May oath, while
the Queens birthday celebrations were
at their height. About nine O'clock
just as the assembled Orange bands
were discoursing what. their supporters
are pleased to call "loyals music,'' by
means: of the redoubtable fife and pig
skin, the town was left In complete
darkness, owing to the singular occur
renee which took place at the gasworks.
All the lamps suddenly went out. and
the gaslights in the shops and dwelling
houses were eytinguished as If by magic.
The explanation which is given Of the
occurrence at the gas works is that one
OF the men employed there was instruct
I ed to lower the pressure Of the gas, as,
it appears, Is the usual custom at that
hour. In doing 80 the man, who is aged.
somehow, slipped and fell, and the sud-
den impact given the apparatus had the
effect of turning out the gas altogether.
It is understood that the workman refer
red to had rather a narrow escape, as 1t
the other Workmen had not come to his
assistance in good time he would have
been undoubtedly asphyxiated.
