MAIN STEAM PIPE BROKE.
An Accident at Fletcher's Causes Fire
Alarm and Shutdown.

Shortly after 3 O'Clock this morning an
vate box 1853 OF the Fletcher Manufactur-
ing Company on Back street. The reason
for the alarm was the breaking OF sec
tion of the main steam pipe that connects
the five boilers of the mills with the two
engines. The latter are in building to
the south with good-sized alleyway be-
tween them.
Tue broken pi,ce OF pipe fell TO the
ground and the boiler room was soon filed
with escaping steam. None OF the men
in charge of the boilers was hurt, though
one man, who was hauling coal, had
a narrow escape from being hit by the
piece of.falling pipe.
superintendent Albert j.. Dronsfeld
was at the scene OF the accident a very
few seconds after IL occurred end when
the fire department arrived he had sized
up the situation clearly. He saw that the
putting of casually directed streams OF
water into the boiler room would proba-
bly, cause number of explosions, 20 he
explained the dangerous situation to the
district chief OF the fire department, Bat
tey, and Captain Matthews OF the Second
police station, and the wisdom OF his
ideas were at once perceived.
The only damage was the breaking OF
the pipe and the fires in all the boilers
were at once drawn.
The whole esta blishment had TO he at
once shut down ana Superintendent
Dronsfield expects TO nave all the depart
ments running on next Monday morn

ment among the large number OF en-
ployes, but they were soon reassufed that
there was no danger TO them from the
