THE PIPE BROKE
A break in the water pipe which sup
blies the gas company's boiler caused
The night watchman and policeman con-
tiderable trouble early this evening.
Bome twelve or fifteen stores in the bus
mess section burn gas all night, and most
of the propRietors had gone home. These
Eentlemen had to be seen and informed
that they must go back to the store and
turn out the gas, as the supply had been
turned off and might be turned on again
later after the light had burned out, thus
permitting the gas to escape. If any
lights were left burning in the residence
lection unnoticed dire results may be
reported tomorrow.
