PART OF FIFTH-AVE. on FIRE.
DANGEROUS BLAZE CAUSED BY THE
BREAKING OF TWO GAS MAINS AT
FIFTY-FIFTH-ST

Two large gas mains broke at Fifth-ave. and
Flrty-hfth-st. yesterday morning. and the escaping
gas was tgnited In some way. possibly by spark
from the electric conduits in the avenue For
hours Fifth-ave. was apparently on fire. There
gas would damage the great water main only a few
feet distant. and cause the flooding Of the fine
houses OF the neighborhood The break was on the
southeast corner where the Astors are excavating
for their big new hotel. Where the sidewalk would
be around the corner the contractors have erected
a wooden bridge.
A fire alarm was sent in. and Battalion Chief
Farrell took command Of the dangerous job Of put
ting out the fire. About thirty feet of the wooden
bridge destroyed. The heat set fire TO the
asphalt, which blazed up hercey and added TO
the danger. One of the gas mains is owned by the
Mutual Gas Company and another by the Consoli-
dated The first is 6-inch main and the other one
an S-inch main. The gas companies informed
and sent workmeD to the scene. but they did
dare turn the off at the storage tanks, this
would endanger the lives Of their patrons when
the supply Was again renewed. Many people leave
Jets burning all night. and IL for any these
