Explosion of gas which had col
lected In the underground light-wire
conduits of the Portland Railway,
Light &i Power company, blew up
three manholes on Fifth street, be
tween SaJmon and Main streets, at
8:30 o'clock last night, with the re
sult that one woman was injured and
a dozen windows broken at Fifth
and Main streets.
Miss Ethel "Walker, 290 College
street, was struck on the head by a
piece of the manhole cover. She re
ceived treatment in the Emergency
hospital and later was sent home,
The conduits are about six feet
deep and two feet wide, with electric
cables inside. The authorities believe
that gas had leaked into the conduits
and was ignited by an electric spark,
The gas was believed to have come
from a leaky pipe carrying illuminat
ing gas or to have leaked from a
sewer.
Cover Blown High in Air.
The worst explosion was at Fifth
and Main streets, where Miss Walker
was injured. The steel manhole cover
and the cast iron cap underneath it
were blown high in the air. The cast
iron cap was broken into a dozen
pieces.
The windows of the Ideal barber
ehop, 242 Fifth street; of the Cash,
jrrocery, 240 Fifth street, and of a
lodging house at 240 Fifth street
were shattered by the concussion. The
lodging house is over the grocery
store and the barbershop ana is con
ducted by Mrs. A. G. Dark.
Miss Walker's hat was smashed as
though one of the fragments of iron
had descended on her head. She had
a bad scalp wound, but it was not
though that she had been injured
seriously.
Woman Standing on Corner.
Miss Walker was standing with
F. W. Williams of 287 East Thirty
fourth street on tae southeast corner
of Fifth and Main streets when the
explosion occurred. She was taken
to the emergency hospital in the an
tomobile of Mr. and Mrs. J. Simon, 307
Ainsworth avenue.
The explosions at Fifth and Salmon
streets and in the middle of the block
were less violent. The manhole in
the middle of the block is only 20
feet from the courthouse, but no win
dows were broken in that building or
across the street.
Simultaneously with the explosion
the electric lights went out in fire
headquarters in the city hall. Simi
lar incidents happened in other build
ings close by, according to reports
to the police. The explosion could be
heard for several blocks and attract'
ed a large crowd. The police say the
explosion probably caused a short-circuit
in the light wires. The lights
began burning after a short time.
Sergeant Keegan and a squad of po
lice set red lights around the broken
manholes to safeguard traffic. The
gas and steam came from the man
holes in such dense clouds that the
police thought it unsafe to replace
even the steel tops lest the gas ac
cumulate and explode again.
