A Wilmingtonian Killed.
A terrible disaster is reported by
telegraph froiu Jacksonville, as
having occurred at the mouth of
the St. John's RiVer. Capt-R- .tr.
Ross, the contractor for the work,
is our well-known Wilmington'
friend and Capt. A..C. Moore and
his unfortunate son- were both from
this city. The latter was - a clerk
not long ago for Mr. George A. Peck
at his hardware store on South
Front street. Following are the
particulars sent out in a Press dis
patch: .
Jacksonville, Sept. 5. A terri
ble explosion occurred at the mouth
of the St. John's river, by which
two men were killed and several
more injured. Capt. R. G. Ross,
in charge of the government jetty
work at St. John's bar, has been
engaged for several days in blow
ing up the submerged .wreck of the
old Dutch brig Nerva," which has
for years obstructed the channel otf
Mayport. He had in command
Capt. A. C. Moore, with a crew! of
twelve men. Two of the men, j R.
T. Moore, son of tlie captain, and
Grandison Powell, colored," were
soldering a 35 pound can of dyna
mffce, when it exploded with a ter
rific report and blew both men to
atoms, only one toe of Moore being
found after the explosion. Engineer
Dunn of the lighter, was badly
wounded in the side and arm. Capt.
Moore was blackened by the ex
plosion and badly shaken up, but is
not seriously injured. He is, how
ever, in a state of mind almost
.bordering upon insanity by reason
of the terrible fate of his son. ' The
explosion was heard for miles
around and.caused an upheaval of
water and tremor of the earth which
created considerable alarm.
Steam tug Robert Turner went
hurriedly to the scene of disaster
and then blew whistles of distress,
which brought the government
steamer and others to the -rescue,
ajid carried Dunn to Mayport, where
he could receive medical treatment.
The lighter was boarded immediate
Jy after the explosion to ascertain
what other damage was done, and
everything was found one mass of
wreck and ruins. Themaohinery
of. the jetty lighter and engine was
completely demolished. . A big hole
was found on the deck of the lighter,
and the crew badly 'demoralized.
Search was at once instituted for
the remains of the men, but without
further snccess. Moore's vest and
pants were subsequently, found
among the floating wreckage torn
completely in shreds.
The accident attracted a . great
crowd of people to the shore and
the greatest excitement prevailed.
Captain ; Ross, the contrastor, had
gone to St. Augustine to spend! a
day, where Capt. vV. M. Black, JU. j
o. Engineer in charge or tne jetties,
has his headquarters. He was at
once communicated with and will
do everything possible under the
circumstances for the relief of the
wounded. He is expected in May
port to night.
Moore, the white 'man killed, was
twentv two years old and "unmar
ried. This is tlie first serious acci
dent to occur at these jetties since
the work began several years, ago
