A paper was circulated and signed by
practically every properly owner or resi
dent on Elm and Bridge streets In this
borough, last week, each of the signers
agreeing to keep his or her half of the
paved street clean during the summer.
The agreement recites that the cleaning
process is to take place each Saturday
morning from the first Saturday In April
to the last Saturday In October. This is a
line move and if religiously observed by
II will give us beautiful streets and a
town to which we can point with pride.
If by chance any resident did not get his
name on the paper, he will be counted In
on the scheme just the same. It is not
u tended that the agreement should take
effect at once on the newly paved portion
of Elm street In the lower part of town,

was placed on the pavement last fall was
wet and has not yet properly filled the
oterstlces botweeo the bricks.

Man Badly Burued and House Wrecked
by Gas Explosion.
John Strauss, aged about 40 years, who
resided in one of the tannery company
houses at West Hickory, was quite badly
burned last Thursday evening by an ex
plosion of gas, which also wrecked the
house in which he lived. The injured
man is a native or Austria and was fitting
up tbe bouse iu anticipation of the arrival
of his wife and children, who are said to
be on their way here from the old coun
try. The house, which is a new one and
just completed, was piped for gas lights,
but the fixtures were not put In and, In
stead or putting a metal thimble on the
end of the gas pipe, tbe plumbers closed
the pipe by driving in a wooden plug.
On Thursday afternoon the plug blew out
and the house waa filled with gas. When
Mr. Strauss came home from work at six
o'clock be detected tbe odor of the leak
ing gas and took the ordinary precautions
to guard against an explosion, but made
tbe mistake of not waiting long enough
for the gas to leave the rooms. Opening
the kitchen door, be went outside the
house and turned off the gas and then
went to the tannery for a pail of water.
On his return be attempted to kindle a
wood fire in bis kitchen stove when In
stantly there was a terrific explosion and
Mr. Strauss says he saw the bouse go to
pieces. He was uot blown out of the
bouse but by a strange freak of the ex
plosion was left standing in the middle or
tbe kitchen, with bis clothing on fire.
He ran Irom tbe house and was caught by
some or the neighbors, who helped him
tear the burning clothes from his body.
He was very badly burned about tbe face
and hands and also the upper part of his
body. After his Injuries had been
dressed by Dr. M. C. Kerr, he was sent to
the Oil City hospital on the evening train.
At first it was thought his injuries were
ratal, and bis escape from Instant death
was truly miraculous. Late reports from
tbe hospital state that he is doing well
and will recover.
The bouse was wrecked beyond repair
but the ruins did not bum. Tlie back
wall and one side wall were blown clear
away from the house and were lying
plaster side up. The front wall was
bulged out and only the partitions and
one side wall kept the roof from falling
in. Tbe front door was blown a distance
of fully 150 feet. Most of the wiudows in
tbe dwelling house adjoining were also
broken, especially on the side next the
explosion. The building stood near the
tannery, on the main street running
through tbe village and was owned by
H. H. Smith A Co., who place their loss
at fSOO. There was an Insurance of ?."00
on the property but it is not collectible,
the policy covering only a loss by fire.
