Falling Gas Pipe in House on South
Lee Street Causes Early
!. Morning Fire.

Shortly after two O'Clock this morn
ing the family OF /. w. Weisler, who
lives at Alb south Lee street. we're
startled by hearing something fall in
the front room on the first floor and
upon making an examination it was
found that gas pipe which had ex-
tended across the ceiling had fallen and
the house was being filled with es-
Gaping gas. Mr. Weisler made i'm
mediate preparations for placing plug
in the pipe in order to stop the flow OF
gas. His wife was holding q lighted
lamp at the time when in the twink
ling OF eye there was an explosion
which filled part OF the house with
flame. Articles in the room were soon
blazing and an alarm OF fire was
turned in, The department responded
aud after heroic work succeeded in
checking the flames, not however, be-
fore the interior Of the house and con-
teots had been materially damaged.
Fortunately the inmates OF the hous c
escaped serious injury. The screws ;
which bad been holding the gas pipe to
the ceiling were small, and the weight
OF the pipe had pulled them from
their positions. The contents OF the
house we're insured for S4O0.
