5 lH. '' ECS AT THREE OfCLOCK MONDAY MORNING, WHILE THE CITY SLEPT, THE BIQ BOILER REAR ED UP AND WENT TEARING THROUGH THE MILL BUILDING. TWO NEGROES BADLY INJURED Lost Mondays xoorninEr about !-thre 'clock two' of the , boilers in Fore 3oan Blades' Saw HQ! blew" up : with sast-ani4 results to the buildings. The explosion occured in the quiet oor3 of the morning' and the con Hussion was so great that it shook rrery house in the city soihciently to awaken the Bleeping inmates. Im. loediately after the shoe's the fire aSarm was turned In and the fire de -tartmeni responded. '" - One of the boilers bodiiy raised It self from its bed, traversed the build- mg BpUtting It open and travelled 4bout two hundred yards before 4t grtruck the ground. The negro -fireman stated that the boiler must . have travelled at a height of forty or fifty set above' the igrbund. The Becni toiler turned- over In itsThed ;but was HoX r thrown tm of JW; Jf jiegt -fec W"ieeplns near the boHer'wii'had scalded. The fireman sustained a token arm. It is supposed ithat the accident oc- mirei through neglect of the 'fireman ; to keep the boiler supplied : ithi water, and when he' discovered that the water had run low, he turned cold water into the boiler ; .. This makes the second accident to . occur at this mill ' this year In the ' spring the tfryklins were destroyed by fire burning nearly a million" feet of lumhe?. ; 7 ' ' - The mill will likely, remain idle, for some time while the damages are be ing repaired, which will cause a M Wer of employees to be Idle. .. x-Governor R'B.
