EXPLOSION COST LIVES
OF TWO NEGRO LABORERS
E HEAVY
Walter Hill, chief clerk in the depot,
was seen by u Georgian reporter in re-
fr.ml to the damage, but was unable •o
give out a definite statement.
•'The confusion hns been ho great,”
baid Mr. Hill, “we have been unable to
figure on the possible damage. All of
'•ur efforts now aro being directed to
the clearing of the wreckage and get
ting things in working shape, and ns
Mon ns this is done wo will begin
checking the records. I. don't think,
however, the damage to freight will
amount to more than several hundred
dollars. Four freight cars wero wrecked
and the depot building somewhat dam
aged.”
The bill of lading shows that the car
of dynamite was billed from the powder
"orks of j. I. Dupont, in Delaware, it
has not yet been learned to whom it
was consigned.
Shortly after the explosion. Police

dead body lay. The casket was in the possession of the railway officials as
freight. After the havoc had been wrought. It was found placed near that
which had been built to contain. j
Strong men looked, shuddered and turned away.
FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED.
The fire department was summoned immediately after the catastrophe,
and the firemen plunged into the debris and began throwing out the fallen
wall. The number of dead was not known. They sought for victims. A
gang of negro laborers worked desperately at the remnants of the twisted
steel and beams of the fatal car. Underneath could be heard the sounds
of groans. Willing hands wrenened at a stubborn piece of wreckage to
tear It loose. At every wrench a groan of agony Issued from under the car.
Added to the confusion were the screams of Will Jenkins' wife. Some
one had told her that her husband lmd been hurt. She hastened to the scene
und went to where a crowd congregated. The dead man was her husband.
A negro woman friend carried away the screaming wife.
The freight depot is Hltuated at the west end of the Peters street via
duct and the occupants of the stores lining the viaduct were thrown into
the greatest confusion. Following the roar of the explosion came the sound
of shattered glass. Employees found themselves blown to other points in
the store. Ike Morris was knocked against his counter and the broom of
Sam Gross was snatched from his hand and blown Into his store.
Not only was Clerk Pullen cut on the head, but he suffered greatly
from the shock and the blood from the cut gave him a ghastly appearance.
He was taken to the Peters street drug store of Dr. A. L. Curtis and his two
scalp wounds were dressed.

FAMILIES TO EMIGRATE
TO SOUTH GEORGIA.
J. A. Gill, delivery clerk, was stand
ing just Inside of tho depot building,
within fifteen feet of the fatal car, at
tho time of tho explosion* and had a
remarkable escape, getting off without
even a scratch.
Mr. GUI was looking after some
freight and was directly in front of tho
big holo blown through the wall of the
building.
To a Georgian reporter Mr. Gill gave
a graphic account of his thrilling ex
perience. He said:
“Shortly after 8 o’clock I had started
to find a certain piece of freight nnd
had climbed up on a pile of boxes. Just
ns I was In the act of placing my hands
on this piece of freight thero was a
sudden terrific report and jar and my
head felt as though It had been split
open. The concussion was awful and I
knew that something terrible had hap
pened, but didn't know what.
"Instantly, following the explosion,
the entire building was tilled with a
dense smoke and dust. The terrific
noise deafened me and I could neither
see nor hear. I was almost numb from
the shook and simply didn't know whut
to do.
“As soon as I could regain my pres
ence of mind 1 realized I was In a dan
gerous position, and us best I could
commenced trying to make my escape, i
I climbed and tumbled from the pile of!
freight and groped my way through the I
heavy smoke. In some way I finally
got out Into the fresh ulr and this re
vived me. Even then, however, the
smoko wus so dense outside It was
some time before I could see the wreck
age and realize what had happened.”
Although badly shocked, Mr. GUI was
able to remain on the scene and aid in
the work of relieving the confusion.
