The man, who had suddenly taken a geat on the sidewalk, did not realize he had thrown his match stump into a big | leak in a gas main, but after’a second of daze, jumped up and yelling “Help! | Fire! Barthquake!” ran the plague was after him. The hole in the street was at the cor- ner of Third and Hudson, the most at- tractive section of Hoboken, and in a minute the whole town was awake. The windows of Meyer's Hotel and adjacent buildings twinkled with lights, heads popped out and scantily clothed figures of all sizes and physiques came tum- | bling into the street. “It's an earthquake!” spread like the wind, and panic-stricken groups were hurrying in all directions until an alarm of fire brought out the chemical! extin- | guisher and the ¢ realized that the trouble was conc adted in one Leak Due to Heavy Rain. Commissioner Griffin and his Street assistant, Mr. McLaughlin, were soon at the scene, and Fire Chief Dunn su- perintended the putting out of the blaze.

Instantly there was another explosion, more flame, and city officials and other Hobokenites scattered like sawdust in a high wind it The chemical extinguisher had to be ' galled into use once more, and in the excitement the pajama man disap- 5 eared, which was probably a good i ing for him. No one was badly hurt by the ex- a plosion. Peter Morris, of the Publle rvice Gas Company of Hoboken, was overcome by the fumes, but was taken into Meyer's Hote resuscitated. —<——>____ STOCKS STRONG IN AN ACTIVE MARKET Gains were general in the early stook market to-day, all the leading issues dhowing advances of a point or more.
