Called the Department to the South
Side Twice.
The fire department received two
calls within an hour last night from
box AZ. located at the corner of Market
and Twenty second streets. The blaze
in each case was located in the resi-
dence of Levi Smith, the Market Street
barber, at No. 2135 Main street.
Both fires were caused by explosions
of natural gas. There was leak in
the pipe before it entered the meter.
The escaping gas became ignited with
loud report, and set fire to the mantel
and woodwork in the parlor on the first
floor. The chemical extinguished the
flames without doing much damage.
When the department left Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith retired in an adjoining
room, while their daughter sat in front
of the parlor fire reading. Within a
short time another large quantity Of
gas had accumulated, there was another
explosion, and another alarm was turn
ed in. The services Of the chemical
were again required. The family de-
cided to do without fire until the leak
is repaired to-day.
