An Explosion OF Gas Causes Commotion in
Frankfort Street

Frankfort Street
An explosion of gas occurred in a manhole
In the roadway opposite IL Frankfort street
shortly before IL o'clock last night. The iron
cover of the manhole. weighing nearly 100
pounds. was thrown fifteen feet into the air.
At the same time a tongue OF fame shot out OF
the manhole. This was followed by a quantity
OF water. Tn noise made by the explosion was
heard a block away First anne the cannon
like roar and then a kissing noise like that
made by escaping steam. The iron cover
smashed In n dozen pieces when 1t came down
on the pavement. The covers OF two other
manholes near William street were blown OFF at
the same time.
Several persons who were passing at the
time managed to escape injury. but their
clothing was despatched with mud. A news
boys lunch counter near by was shaken up by
the concussion, scattering crullers and pies
over the sidewalk. The lunchrnan was SO
badly frightened that he deserted his booth and
ran two blocks before stopping. When he re.
turned after the explosion he found a crowd OF
newsboys eating niud-stained pie and discuss.
ing. the cause of the explosion with two Cherry
Hill policemen.
The press rooms of two or three newspaper
establishments were thrown into darkness for
an hour after the ex plosion, as the electric light
mains in the street were burned out, cutting OFF
the current that supplied the press rooms with
light.

music essentially popular by the ingenious
character of his melodies as well as by
the alluring motion of his constantly changing
rhythms. OF course. the "Meisterslnger" over
