A k.'ib explosion played havoc with ! the Interior of the front portion of No. i 117 Greene Street about 2 o’clock Fri day afternoon. The residence Is oc cupied hy Mr. Max Tunkle, who had recently moved In with his family. Electricians employed by Mr. A. Brill were working In the house and Mr. H il. Young, one of the electricians, was on a step ladder In the front parlor v/hen lm saw a flush of fire and then came the crash. He went to the floor together with great quantities of plas tering. The plastering in the front hall, parlor and two bed rooms up stairs fell to the floor when the ex plosion occurred and the debris cover ed furniture, matting and every arti cle in the rooms. I Mrs. Tunklc was j landing near the front door and says that she was stunned by the explosion • and some thing seemed to push her out of the front door toward the street and when I she recovered her senses she was on the bottom step next to the sidewalk. 1 The explosion was heard all over the neighborhood and a crowd of sev eral hundred people collected quickly, lit is estimated that the damage will .amount to several hundred dollars. , The Ga.v Company was communl (cited with bv The Herald and stated I that the probable cause whh the fa 1 1 - jure of the electricians to cut off the las before starting work. Wires be coming crossed probably caused a flash and then ignition of the gas. 1 Nfo one was hurt. RAPID PROGRESS ON SEWER WORK W. F. How a & Hon and Jonas Garret son, th«» two contractors who ars building sewers, arc progressing rtpldly with their work. Jonas «v Garret son are crossing Broad street at Kleventh with the big sewer five and one half feet in diameter which runs into tiie canal at Walker street and 11th street. This sewer will he built up Reynolds street to Thirtefnth where it will connect with a sewer that was huilt last year from Thir teenth to Fourteenth streets W. F. Howe Ai Son are between Tenth and Eleventh street on Rey nolds with the work on the so-v'er which started at Eighth street. It will connect at Eleventh street, with the big sewer which Jonas & Garret son are building, "When this work is finished all the New nge from Fifteenth street to Eighth street, which now empties Into the river will empty Into the canal at Walker and Eleventh street. This will leave the Houston street sewer only emptying into the river and It will be carried to the Beaver Dam ditch emptying into the latter at Gwinnett and Fifth street. The work of changing the sewers Is made necessary because of the fact that hack water from them would fill the streets of the city In times of high water unless they were made to empty Into some other place than the river.

Later the French warships appeared before Ra gusa and Gravosa. The Austrian authorities and other notables at Kagusa fled precipitately. "The Italian and Slav poulation,” the official announcement sayn, ‘“remained calm.

The statement was: “The various movements to relieve the situation of the cotton growers, hard hit by war conditions in Europe, afford fresh proof of the American spirit of helpfulness. The exhibit of cotton goods in Washington this week opened the eyes of many to the grow ing uses of cotton. It is gratifying that patriotic women of other cities In our country are planning to follow the good example of Washington wo men and make like exhibits in their home cities. Such displays must have the effect of increasing the de mand and opening new fields for the use of.the fleecy staple and are there fore to be warmly commended.” THE $150,000,000 COTTON LOAN PLAN Washington. —Plans for the propos ed cotton loan fund of $150,000,000 were up for discussion today before a committee of the federal reserve board and Festus J.
