FIRE AT THE GAs-wORKs.
sur,day-Morning 5Inze tn"sed oy
the UrcnLing of "a StOp-Cock.

The bursting of the stop-cock Of a by
pass between the two super-heaters OF
the water-gas plant az the Lower gas
works about 1l:2O o'clock Sunday morn
ing caused an explosion. which was io!-
lowed by quite an exciting nre. Inc
accident was really Of an alarming ma
ture. although no one was hurt ana
there was no need for any very grave
approximations. IN.
The immense gas,holders filled with
their deadly explosives the large oil
stond-tanlks which were only a short
distance from the engine-room. where
the cock-brakes stood as gaunt-lookinS
obstacles untll the flames were extin-
guished 49,,
Az soon as the accident occurred an
ol,rr, was sent in from the private box
of the works and the department re-
snonded promptly 20 find the engine
room in the northwest corner OF the
oiI-plant building in mass or Names
caused by the burning OF the OIL, when
had scattered in all directions when the
nine conveying it from the big tank IN
the yard had burst.
Rut for the presence or mind OF I'm
pineer Dan Duke, who was In charge
of the engine at the time or the acci-
dent. and who. at the risk OF his hfe'
shut off the flowing oil. the damage
might have been very heavy. As It was
one of his assistants, Mr.. Ben. Mann.
was forced to drench him With water as
he performed the perilous task.
Roth Engineer Duke and MIR. Al. Nc
Cruder lost their clothes In the fire. and
the latter was unfortunate enough to
lose a considerable sum OF money,
which was In one OF hts pockets.
The total damage from both fire and
water will only reach between 500 and
500. 80 Superintendent Knowles thinks.
The floor of the engine-room was OF
wood but should have been Of steel.
This fact caused the timDers TO burn
and fan down upon the machinery OF the
water-gas plant, completely disabling It.
As, soon as Superintendent Knowles
could reach the scene he had the place
cleaned out, the machinery pulled down
and sent to the shop for the necessary
repairs. IL is thought that the loss is
covered by insurance.
