Slight Damage Done
By Conduit Explosion

Workmen today are repairing the
damage done by an explosion OF gas
In an electric light conduit at North
Capitol and II streets, which created q
panic among the large number OF EN-
ployes OF the Government Printing
Office and shattered the windows IN
practically every building in the neigh
borhood.
The explosion occurred shortly after 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. While no
one was injured. crossing Policeman c.
c. CLANCY had q narrow escape when
the manhole at the coner near which
he was standing, was blown high in the
air. When II fell, the heavy piece OF
iron missed Chaney's head by q few
inches.
Had the explosion occurred twenty
minutes later, when the army Of en-
ployes from the big printery were Ieav-
Ing the establishment and thronging
the streets, 1t Is believed many would
have been struck by the flying pieces
OF iron and brick. which were hurled
In every direction.
Practically all Of the windows in the
old printing office were shattered Thoss
in the new structure. where most of the
employees work. were not broken. Win
dows also were broken in two street
cars, on the Brookland and Colurfibia
lines, which were near the corner at the
time.
The police today place the damage,
consisting chiefly OF shattered window
tpanes, at $500.
