Pipe Line company at a point four

of a terrific explosion yesterday in
which Michael Ellison, Jr., was in

ceived injuries from which it Is doubt
full if some recover. Twelve men
were in the trench repairing a leak in
a ten-inch main from which the gas
had been transferred to an eight-inch
main near it.
Ellison was stopping over when the
pipe gave way and he was found $50
feet away with his bones broken. Geo.
Morrison, in charge of the work found
himself sprawling on the ground thirty
feet away with gravel and dirt blown
into his skin, his whole body wrenched
and most of his clothes torn and tat
tered, but no bones broken. Will
Briggs, was also hurled some distance,
inhaling the gas. Three laborers We're
knocked down and bruised in fright

who inhaled the gas get black in the
face from the carbon, and those who
live are branded for life.
