Yesterday morning Chief OF Police

tricts of the city for the purpose of find
Ing out whether there are any familles
in need OF provisions, or who wanted to
be moved to higher ground. He found
everybody as well situated as could be

lived in the same house. They COM
planned of having nothing to eat. and the
chief Immediately went to IL nearby
grocery, and had a large basket filled at
his own expense and took 1t to them.
The mayor also made personal In
vestigation Of affairs with view TO fur
nishing aid to the flood sufferers, but
after looking around decided no general
relief was necessary.
The police are patroling their beats
In the flooded districts In skins. The
chief contemplated putting on an extra
force, but as the water began falling
early last night, he changed his mind.
1t was reported last night that orders
for provisions for the relief Of some
cases were issued by members OF the
board OF county commissioners.

THIS Is IMPORTANT.
There !. Danger OF Ga, Explosion.

Through careIe,sness.
General Manager A. B. Daily, OF the
Wheeling Natural Gas Company, in
forms the 1ntelilgencer that there is
great danger OF natural and i!luminat-
ing gas, explosions through the care
lessness Of consumers and others. On
this account the gas was shut of from
the consumers OF the>Wbeelins and
Manufacturers copaales late Wednes-
day night, as chronIcled exclusively In
the In1elligencer yesterday morning.
On the other hand, the gas is still on
In the illuminating gas mains OF the
Natural Gas Company of West Vir-
ginIa, the latter supplying households
ers with fuel, and for this reason eS-
treme care should be exercised to pre-
ven: explosions that would probably
shut OF the entire supply OF gas from
citizens. and cause loss OF life. q
People generally are warned to use
no lights or lighted cigars in places
where there Is an ,odor Of gas. This Is
the only course that will insure safety.
General Manager Daily, OF the Wheel
ing company, which supplies manufac-
turing concerns with gas for fuel, said
yesterday that he had shut of the sup
ply Wednesday night reluctantly,
knowing that a number OF plants locat-
ed above the water needed fuel, but he
acted as ne did because 1t was the only
safe course to pursue. With water and
gas mixed in the mains there was dan
ger OF explosions. As It Is the water In
the Wheeling company's mains will en-
tail a loss OF several thousand dollars
upon his company, says Mr.. Daily. The
other company and the city gas works
board will also suffer some inconvenl-
cnces and damage after the waters
have receded.
