The gas by somie nieans obtained a vent throughi theleaden-pipe and also the tube, and when ligtied at about 8o'cloclk in the evening, the flame being caught by the air passing through the sitop fiom the street door, the gas suddenly blazed out ili a terrific unttner, with a most treusendous noise: the power of tke explosion was such, that it forced out the window, and the shop appeared in several parts in fla:mes.
