CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION.
Second Public Hearing at State House This
Aftern)(n.

The commission on the revision Of the
state Constitution gave its second public
hearing this afternoon at the State House.
sThe following members of the commits
sion were present: EX-Chief Justice
Durfee, chairman and Messrs. Goddard,
Stiness, Blodgett, Baker, Colt, Sheffield,
Freeman, German, Miller and Allen
Mr.. Samuel Norris suggested that a
new section he added to the first article
Co provide franchise that no corporation
be allowed TO use the streets of any town
or city without the consent of that town
or city His argument was that the towns
ana cities have TO bear the burdens and
should have the right TO say what the
compensation shall be.
MIR. Norris cited the case of the town
of Bristol where there had been danger of
franchise being granted 10 Railroad
corporation To use the streets of that town
without the consent of its citizens.
MIR. Francis Gallagher asked for the
insertion of the following clause in the
revised Constitutions:

NO ONE BLAMED
Fire MarShal'S Report on
Subway Explosion.
He Declares II To Have Been
Only a Natural Result.
The Construction of the Gas Mains
He Found to Be Defective.

Boston. May 4.-State Fire Marshal
Whitcomb has made report on the gas
explosion, which took place at the corner
of fremont and Boylston streets on
March 4 last. The report is addressed
20 Insurance Commissioner Merrill. It's
preparation was delayed by other mat
ters which have required the marshal's s
attention.
The report reviews at considerable
length all the circumstances attending
the explosion, but the finding is as fol-
lows:
That the fire, which is the subject OF
this report. was caused by an explosion
of air, combined with gas. which had
been allowed to accumulate i'm the sub
way excavation before referred to, and
that. in all probability. the triangular
hole which was directly under the Mount
Auburn car had become so charged with
these combined clements that when the
gas which reached the street from II be-
came ignited by spark from a passing
car wheel. it exploded with the force OF
an immense cartridge.
That the gas, which had been gradu-
ally escaping and filling the area above
referred 10 since the early morning, in
all probability came from the westerly
fracture I'm the six-inch gas main OF the
Boston Gas company, although there is
some evidence tending TO show that the
original break may have been In the
eight-inch main.
That the fracture from which the gas
escaped may have been caused i'm either
one OF several ways-by settlement OF
the ground. the loosening OF the pipe
supports, or by the action of the frost
That such fracture was the natural.
and not the negligent. result of the con-
struction OF the subway in accordance
with the legislation which authorized II.
and the contract under which it was
carried on.
While this contract may not he reces-
sarily faulty in it's provisions IL is plain
20 see. since the accident. that the
safety Of the public might have been bet
ter insured by a change in some of its
terms.
That any defects Of legislation or con-
tract could only have been remedied in
one way. namely, by a system Of the
closest Inspection and most constant
watching.
That there was no such inspection and
watching for over "a hours previous 10
the explosion on the part Of those upon
whom this duty was incumbent
That this fire and explosion were
the result OF any wilful act or omission
on the part Of any individual or corpora

THE THILL BROKE.
Accident 10 Persons Who Had At-
tended Funeral.
Mr.. Gilman and His Sist r Injured, the
Latter Very Seriously.

What came very near being fatal acci-
dent occurred on Cough avenue, at River
Point, about Il o'clock this forenoon. A
funeral procession which had followed
the remains of Felix Plante 20 the 1t.
Joseph cemetery was returning down the
hill and when short distance above the
eerner of Cough avenue and Allen street,
one Of the thills of a carriage driven by
Thomas Gilman OF Phenix broke and the
end of the thill strIck the horse, friRhten-
ing him and causing him To run. A
bakers wagon belonging TO William Will
cox was standing at the side of the street
and the runaway collidod with it, capsiz-
ing II in the gutter and throwing Gilman
and his sister who was with him, out Of
the buggy. The horse cleared himself
from the wreck of the carriage and WAS
captured on Allen street by CormaCk
McCaughery. Gilman escaped with a few
bruises but his sister struck on her head
and face in the street and was badly
bruised and cut her upper lip, being Dearly
severed from her face. She wwas picked
up and taken in "a carriage To the Office of
IA physician where her wounds were
dressed and lator removed TO her homo In
Pbenix. It Is not thought that her in
iuries are of a serious nature although II
is almost miraculous that she escaped in
slant death The thill which broke and
caused the trouble had been broken before
and repaired and il was ut the old break
that IL parted again.
