Portland Ind, Dec. 31.-Wnh a roar
which was heard fifteen miles away fol-
lowed by a flash of fire which rose hun
dred feet nign and lighted the entire coun-
try for miles, twelve-inch line leading from
the Ohio aud Indiana Pipe Line Company-s
immense gas station, one mile south OF
Red Key, burst to-day. A few seconds
later the entire structure was in flames,
and che fire ragged until the building was
destroyed.
The pumping station compressed the gas
which was sent through the lines to Lima
Pqua, Dayton and a number Of other
Ohio towns and cities, as well as a few in
Indiana, and was erected at a heavy ex-
pense, being equipped with powerful boil
ers and immense engines and compressers.
IL was one Of the most complete of its
kind in existence. Three years ago the
same station was destroyed by an explos-
ion of natural gas, two men were killed
and the loss was close to 100000. The
burning Of the pumping station caused
great Inconvenience and suffering along
tho pipe tine.
There is great suffering at Lima and In

Consumers Were Unprcpared.
Few consumers had made preparations
for sudden shut Off, and the demand ON
coal and wood yards and every available
team is such that all cannot be served un-
til tomorrow, even with the teams and
wagons running all night, as viii be the
case. Hundreds of families have not had
warm meal since breakfast and there ia
no likelihood Of being able TO get better
gas before Monday evening.
The demand for plumbers Is so great
that those who have succeeded in getting
fuel cannot sget the full benefit of II. as
they are unable TO get their burners ar
ranged, the plumbers having more than
they can do. What wood and coal Is be-
Ing used gives poor results on top Of the
sas burner
Hundreds Of people went to bed as soon
as they got through with their supper this
evening In order TO keep warm, and many
OF them will stay there tomorrow, owing
to the intensely cold weather. In some
houses the temperature is as low as 80.
The natural gas company received word
from Red Key tonight that part of the
pumps would be running by Monday even
ing. This may improve the supply some,
but the drain is so heavy that it viii prob
ably be several days before 1t is restored.
In The meantime, the suffering cannot help
but be intense.
