destroyed 10y fire, bat they soon had a
line Of hose stretched from the cheml-
cal and the flames were under control
In few minutes,
The great damage was done by the
explosion, which wrecked the rear part
OF the house Upon more careful in
Vestlgation IL was found that the pipe
which had exploded was directly over
the bed occupied by Mrs. Meikle Three
Of the walls were blown out OF plumb
and one side OF the brick chimney was
also blown out. The top Of the marble
wash stand In another room was COM
pletely torn on,
For time last night, or rather early
this morning, a was believed by the
doctors that Mrs. Melkle had a chance
for recovery. She remained conscious
for long time but on account OF the
burns about her head she was unable TO
tell anything about the terrible affair.
She suffered intense agony until $3.50
this morning when death relieved her
sufferlngs. She resided in this city for
about twelve years until 1897, when she
moved 20 Cleveland, She was widow.
She had many friends here who are
grief stricken over the frlghtful man
ner Of her death. No arrangements have
vet been made FOR her burial, pending
word from Cleveland.
In discussing the features OF the eX-
ploslon this morning Chief Deyine was
very Indignant over the lack OF re-
Spouse on the part Of the ambulance
and medical aid. The chief said that
after carrying the woman to an adjoin
ing room he went to house next door
to telephone for assistance. and was
informed By a lady there that she had
telephoncd for an ambulance and was
told that she could not get one without
an order OF a physician.
THAT part looks very strange to me,
said Chief Devine "and II seems To me
that II such conditions exist IN a city
q this size IL should be looked into az
once The ambulance should be sub
jected 10 call at any time aud RESPOND
at q minutes notice without any red
tape about II"
The chief said that Mrs, Meikle was
conscious Whcn ne entered the room
and that when he took her In his arms
she said. "Oh. God, viii bless you for
helping me-" While on the way to the
hospital on the hose wagon she begged
for some fresh air and later asked for
a drink OF water.
Chief Devine says that the building i
damaged 10 the extent OF about $500
while the loss on the contents is placed
at $500. The latter Is covered by in
surance.
