Engineer in Charge of Burning Build
ing Painfully Injured.

The gas house at the corner of South
Capitol and I streets southeast which sup
plies the Pennsylvania railroad with illu-
minant, caught fire this morning about 1
o'clock. A joint in one of the pipes at
tached to a part of the machinery con-
neeted with the tank blew out, and the gas
at once ignited.
Allen Faro, the engineer in charge of
the tank, saw at once that the building
about the tank was in danger. He made a
vain endeavor to reach a stopcock to turn
on the gas. In fighting his way through
tne names the man was badly burned In
the meantime an alarm of fire was turned
IN from box 5S, and the apparatus sta
tloned In the eastern section of the city
responded. The blaze was soon extin-
gulshed, and the flow of gas checked
Engineer Faro, who lives at so X street
southeast, was removed to Providence Hos
pital, where his burns were dressed. Later
ne was taken to his home. The exact dam
age to the building and gas machinery has
not been determined. but is thought to be
IN the neighborhood of 81 ZOO. The gas
mousse Is said to be owned and controlled by

SMALL BOYS STOICISM
CooLLY AWAITS A CAR WHICH
CRUSHES HIS LIMB.
His Foot Imprisoned Beyond Extrica-
ton, but He Saves Himself
From Death.

After saving his younger brother from
horrible death beneath the wheels Of one
of the heavy cars of the Maryland line of
the Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany yesterday afternoon, Charles Severe,
the seven-year-old son of William B. Severe
of Riverdale, Md, had a narrow escape
from instant death himself, and his escape
is probably due to his remarkable display
of courage rather than to anything else.
The unfortunate accident occurred at
Riverdale about $3.50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, while Charlie and his two
brothers, older and one younger than
himself. were waiting at the crossing for
their parents, who were expected to return
from their vacation during the afternoon.
The three children while waiting at the
crossing for the purpose indicated amused
themselves at play. In some manner the
youngest boy got his foot caught between
the tracks and the plank walk, but was
released by Charlie. The eldest boy then
took the young6 st Cne home leaving Charlie
to wait at the crossing A little while later,
while experimenting to determine how his
brother got his foot in jeopardy, Charlie
caught his foot in almost the same place
and was unable to release it. He tugged
and pulled, but all to effect.
1t suddenly dawned upon him that he
was standing on the tracks and that car
was approaching. but there was one at
hand to aid him in effecting a release. The
gong of the oncoming car sounded several
times, but the boy was unable to leave the
tracks, and in a few minutes the car was
upon him. but not before he succeeded in
getting his body, with the exception of his
imprisoned foot and ankle, out of the way.
1t is said the motorman saw the boy
standing there, but thought he had only
gone on the tracks for the purpose of an
noylng the trainmen, the practice being
common among the boys along the line.
When the motOrman realized that the
boy was unable to leave the tracks il was
TOO late 10 stop the pCnderous car, and, with
sickening grind, it passed over the young
ster's leg, cutting through the bone at a
point below the knee. People who saw the
injured lad almost Immediately after the
unfortunate affair said he displayed a re-
markaole amount of courage. He was
placed on an incoming car and brought to
the corner of 18th and G streets northwest.
In the meantime the Emergency Hospital
had been notified, and the ambulance. in
charge of DR.. Stuart of that institution.
was In waiting when the car arrived at the
END OF the route. The injured boy was
transferred from the car to the ambulance
ana hurry run was made to the hospital
An examination at the hospital deyeloped
that the flesh was horribly mangled and
that the bone was badly crushed An op-
eraton was decided on, and the leg was
amputated at the knee
At the hospital this morning 1t was said
that the lads condition was about as good
as could be expected, considering the char
acter of the injury.
