A FALLING SCAFFOLD.
Colored Workmen Precipitated
About Thirty-five Feet to
Church Floor Yesterday.
THEIR INJURIES ARE SEVERE.
Accident Occurred in the Afternoon in
First Presbyterian Bnildinr, Where
Plssterlsi Was Being Tsken
from the Celllor.
James Lewis and John Galloway,
two colored carpenters employed by
Contractor John Howe in making the
repairs to the interior of the First
Presbyterian churcb, were right s -erely
injured, one of the handsome
windows on the North side
of the building was broken
and several pews in the main au
ditorium were badly damaged, as tbe
result of a falling scaffold upon which
the two men were at work yesterday
afternoon about three o'clock. They
were both sent to their homes in the
police patrol wagon after their wounds
were temporarily dressed by Dr. Jo?.
C. Shepard. Liter they were attended
by Dr. Harper.
Galloway received several bruises
about the back and cheat and is the
worst injured. Lewis' wounds are about
the head, his scalp being laid open in
several places. Neither of them, it is be
lieved i$ hurt fatally though they had
a fall of some thirty feet or more and
Galloway may later develop internal
injuries.
The men were on the scaffold tear
ing away a thick overhead plastering,
preparatory to replacing it with wood
ceiling. The plastering had accumu
lated as it fell to the weight of several
tons ou the scaffold, but they thought
the frame work sufficiently strong to
hold the burden. They had under
estimated the weight, however, and
without the slightest warning the
scaffold and mass of debris came
down with a crash. That the labor
ers were not killed outright is almost
a miracle.
The other workmen .in the. building
escaped unhurt.
FIRE UNDERWRITERS PROTEST.
Tbey Object to Two-Story Frame Ware-
house on Wharf and Cite Reasons.
The following communication from
the Local Board of Fire Underwriters,
prepared as a result of a meeting held
yesterday, was immediately forwarded
to the Board of Aldermen and is self-
explanatory:
Office of the
Local Board of Fire Underwriters,
Wilmington, N. C.
September 10th, 1902.
The Honorable Mayor and Board of
Aldermen of the City of Wil
mington, N. C. :
Gestlxmen: I am instructed by
the Local Board of Fire Underwriters
of this city to notify you we are in re
ceipt of the information that a permit
has been granted to erect a two-story,
frame, tm-roof building on the west
side of Water street between Market
and Dock streets, Block 151 J, to be oc
cupied as a warehouse.
The granting of these permits will
eventually nullify the benefits derived
from the efficiency of our Paid Fire De
partment, and it is in direct opposition
to the ordinances of the city of Wil
mington, N. O , dated 1903, under
"Ordinances affecting the peace and
good order of the city." etc.,
(see page 38, Article 2L, Sec
tion 19) which says no wooden
building shall be erected or caused to
be erected in tbe city without permis
sion of the Board of Aldermen, etc.;
sheds however may be erected on
wharves "Provided the same are only
one story high and the roof covered
with tin or metal, and tne sides oi
them which are enclosed are covered
with metal or tin and the location and
extent of such sheds to be approved by
the Board of Aldermen."
It is the opinion of this Board that
the height of one-story building,
should certainly not be greater than
twelve feet from ground to eaves.
Not so much in the interest or tbe
Insurance Companies we represent,
who provide for such hazards by wnat
thev consider adequate rates, but in
justice to property owners at large, we
feel called -upon to enter our protest.
I am, with. res peer, yours truly,
S. M. Boatwriqht, Secretary.

ROUSE GETS A PARDON
FROM GOVERNOR AYC0CK.
Serving Twelve Months on Chsin Qaog
la New Hanover for Murderous As
ssult on Little White Girl.
Rather as a surprise to the commu
nity, a pardon from Governor Ay
cock was received yesterday at the
office of Sheriff Stedman tor Thomas
B. Bouse, white, sentenced last Jan
uary to a term of twelve months on
the county chain gang for a villainous
assault with a deadly weapon upon a
little white girl. The pardon wa-.
transmitted to Superintendent W. H.
Shearin, of the convict force, and it is
presumed that Bouse was turned loose
last night He had served only eight
of the twelve months for which he
was sentenced.
Bouse was found guilty and sen
tenced to the roads by Judge E. W.
Timberlake Jan. 7tb, of this year, for
probably one of the most brutal crimes
ever committed in this section accord
ing to newspaper accounts at the time.
He is a middle aged man and it is said
he shot a man in Kins ton and was
sentenced to a year on the county
roads of Lenoir. He ran away, how
ever, in the Spring, it is said, and
came to Wilmington in June. On
Christmas night, the evidence at the
trial disclosed, he went to the home of a
Mr?. Phillip!', who lived on Cowan St.,
near Chadbourn's mill. Mrs. Phillips
with her little daugher, Minnie, 13 or
13 years of age, and several other per
sons were standing in the yard talking.
Without the slightest knowledge of
his approach the group was startled
wbenBausa suddenly appeared on the
scsne anddaalt the little girl a terrible
b'.ow equarely across the head with a
piece of saantling, laying the scalp
open to the skull, prostrating her to
tha ground and rendering her uncon
scious for some time. Without say
ing a word he walked into the house
where be was evidently acquainted
but the little victim of the villainous
assault was taken to Nutts' drug store,
down town, where the wound was
dressed by Dr. E. S. Pigford. The
sight of the little girl's head with hair
clotted with blood, was sickening and
a large crowd who gathered were very
much enraged at the conduct of the
man, who was afterwards arrested and
locked up at the station house by Po
lice Sergant C. S. Burnett.
At tbe. trial Bouse said he didn't in
tend to hit the child but was striking
at some one else. Mayor Waddell in
b:.nding Bouse over to the Superior
Court in a bond of $150 is quoted by
the newspapers as having said at tne
time:
"This is the most cowardly and yil-
lanous thing I have ever heard of and
if I had the power I would send you
to the penitentiary for ten years."
There was a murmur of approval all
over the court room at this expres
sion. It was learned that the mother of
tbe little girl who was assaulted was
active in securing the pardoo. If so,
it is a sad commentary upon her
motherly affection.
PEREGRINATIONS OP THE ROLLER.
County's Trsctloa Engine Used Yesterday
in Hsulinf Rock from the City.
The county road roller and traction
engine combined "did a stunt" yester
day in hauling macadam rock from
cars in the city to the Market street
road, about 2J miles from the city.
The engine, with four wagons at
tached, was "driven" to the city Tues
day afternoon and yesterday morning
the wagons, which have a capacity of
five tons each, were loaded from rail
road cars on Dock street. The engine
pulled them out to the roads with fair
satisfaction. " In ascending the bill on
Market street, near St. James' churcb,
two of the wagons had to be cut loose
until the remaining two were carried
to the top of the incline, but then the
big engine did a "back-up" act and
the four were carried out with appa
rent ease.
In view of the fact that the ascent
was rather steep at that point, some
wag remarked, while watching the
engine, that "it was no high roller."
To use the slang of the day, however,
it could hardly be called a "low ball."
BIQ EXCURSION FROM SPRING HOPE
Messrs. Hatch Bros. Closed a Phenome
nally Successful Season Yesterday.
One of the largest excursions of the

AN INSOLENT WHITE MAN.
Tried to Force Entrance Into Third Street
- Residence and Was Fired Upon.
An unknown white tramp, who at
tempted to force an entrance through
the front door of Capt. Sam T. Ashe's
residence, No. 616 South Third street,
during the heavy down-pour of rain
about 10 o'clock Tuesday night, proba
bly went away from the house with a
conviction that some iadies are as skil
ful in their use of fire-arms as men are.
Capt. Ashe was down town at his
office at the time and Mrs. Ashe hear
ing a violent ringing of the bell went
to the door, thinking perhaps it was
Mr. Ashe, coming home. She was
about to open the door, but took the
precaution to cll out to know who
was there before admitting the out
sider. To her surprise the reply came
in a strange voice and the door was not
opened. She asked the tramp what he
wanted there and he insolently replied
that he wanted to get in out of the
rain. Mrs. Ashe commanded him to
leave but be said he would not and be
gan to hammer on the door. -Mrs.
Ashe then concluded she would drive
him off. She procured her husband's
pistol; went to a window opening on
the front porch, threw the shutter
open and fired. The tramp "ducked"
his head and flew. No clue to his
identity has been gained.
