MAIN MAY NOT BE CUT.
A Small Quantity of Gas is Still
Used at County Court
HOuse

Thomas Curley, superintendent of the
Wilmington Coal Gas Company, ap-
peared before the Levy Court Commits
sioners at their meeting yesterday and
asked whether the gas main supplying
the county Court House should be re.
moved in view of the fact that electric
light appliances had been installed. He
stated that it was the custom when the
use of gas main was discontinued to
cut it off and prevent leakage. The com
missioners had promised TO take up the
question yesterday and notify the COM
pany whether or not to remove the
pipe.
Gas is still used occasionally at the
Court House and it 10 likely that the
company will be asked to continue the
main.
The cost Of gas for the whole building
recently has only averaged S1.39 a day.
Commissioner Gallagher stated that it
will cost Sl00 light for the arc lights of
which there are to be four in the Court
House plot, and meter service will apply
to the lights used within the building.
The court has replaced gas with electric
ity at Eleventh, Market and Washington
street bridges over the Brandywine.
There are two on Eleventh, two on Mar
ket and eight on Washington street
bridges, each 500 year. Commissioner
Gallagher said that electricity was gen.
orally cheaper than gas.

French street station of the p, w. & B..
Railroad, had narrow escape from be-
ing killed yesterday afternoon, and as a
result ofithe accident he is now living at

road at 2.3a o'clock p. m. While he was
between two of the cars working, car

caused the cars to Jolt and one OF the
steam heating pipes struck Geizler on
the left side of his face, little below the
ear and made an ugly cut. He was

sistance possible given him until DIR.

arrived.
After examining Geizler and handag-
ing the wound, DIR. Draper had the
Phoenix ambulance summoned and sent
him to the Delaware Hospital. At late
hour last night it was reported at the
Hospital that Gei2ler was resting easy
and the injnry was not as serious as was
at first thought.
