BOILERS BURST;
FIVE MEN DEAD
Horrible Accident Occurs In Saw
Mill at Cecil, Georgia.
•
WROUGHT DEATH AND RUIN
Many Houses In Vicinity Almost
Wrecked—Loss of Plant
Is Total.
Cecil, Ga., a small town on the
Georgia Southern and Florida rail
way, seventeen miles north o£ Val
dosta, was the scene of a terrible
boiler explosion Monday morning at 5
o’clock, as a result of which five men
are dead and six hurt, three of them
1 fatally.
The accident occurred in the large
saw and shingle mill of J. N. Cray &
Cos. Work had only fairly commenced
for the day and but a few employes
were at their posts, when, without
warning and with a terrible roar that
shook the whole town, the two main
boilers burst, tbrowiug a third boiler,
which stood beside them, to a distance
of more than 200 yards and the roofs
of three houses near by were torn off
by flying timbers.
The mill was torn into kindling
wood and it is a miracle that a single
man escaped with his life.
When the dust had settled work
was begun on the heap of splinters
that a few minutes before had been a
well equipped sawmill iu full opera
tion and iu a short time five bodies
were taken out of the wreckage and
laid aside, while every effort was be
ing made to relieve the living. Here
and there a head or an arm was to be
seen, the rest of the body being hid
den under the timbers. After about
two hours of hard work all were taken
out and the list of the dead and
wounded was found to be as follows:
Killed—Luther Clare, engineer;
Hugh Chambers, fireman; Guy Nich
olson, Will Houston, Jack Haslam.
Fatally injured: J. C. Raines, J.
J. Allen and Wesley MoPhaul.
Slightly injured: Frank Sims, Zao
Agee and Octavus Smith.
It is said that some children playing
about the mill on Sunday turned off a
valve which cut the safety valve off
from the boilers and the steam rising
rapidly was unable to escape. It is
reported from another source that the
night fireman allowed his water to get
low a few nights ago and burned the
boilers, for which he was discharged,
but the damage was considered small
and may have had nothing to do with
the accident.
Those who were in position to know
claim that the boilers had plenty of
water iu them when the accident oc
curred and the meddlesome play of a
child is very likely responsible for
the whole thing.
Portions of the mill and machinery
were blown all over town and several
houses were badly damaged, though
fortunately no one outside was
hurt by the flying debris. Pieces of
timber twenty feet long were blown
through the walls of residences several
hundred yards from the mill.
The scene of wreck and ruin beg
gars description. The mill is a com
plete wreck, portions being scattered
for several hundred yards around and
half of one of the boilers is lying 200
yards from the scene of the accident.
Mr. Bray had no insurance against
explosion and the loss of between
SIO,OOO and $15,000 is complete. Had
the explosion occurred a few minutes
later, when all the meu were in the
mill, the loss would have been half a
hundred lives.
Conferees Cannot Agree.
The conferees on the Pcrto Rican
bill providing for the appointment of
temporary officers in the island hare j
determined to report a complete dis
agreement.

ROBERTS POWERLESS
To Make Any Advantageous Move
Against the Boers.
THE BRITISH SEEM TO BE EXHAUSTED
Their Frantic KlTorte To Coral the Bur-
Cher* !• Still of No
Avail.
The only dispatch from Lord Rob
erts published in London Sunday was
the usual list of deaths and sickness.
The flood of newspaper dispatches
Monday describing the recent opera
tions throws no light whatever upon
the present position of aflairs or upon
the great question as to when the main
advance is to begin. The Standard’s
announcement that General French’s
cavalry are returning to Bloemfontein
is clear proof that there is no further
hope of catching the retreatiug Boers,
and the London papers are beginning
to display impatience at the practical
failure of the elaborate preparations of
the past week. The Standard says:
“It is disheartening to find that
these elaborate manoeuvers have had
so small a lesult."
The Daily Chronicle remarks:
We are reluctant to criticise Lord
Roberts, but it is impossible to shut
our eyes to the fact that during the
last ten days we have gained very lit
tle from our enormous display of
force.
OPERATIONS EXHAUSTING.
Without doubt these operations have
been of a very exhausting nature and
will entail further delay.
The Bloemfontein correspondent of
the Times, writing March 3, after the
Paardeburg affair, describes Lord Rob
erts’ army as a “wreck,” because it
was without horses aud without trans
ports.
The Bloemfontein correspondent of
the Post speaks now of the urgent
need at present, and always, of more
horses.
There is very little news from other
quarters. The Daily Mail publishes
a statement from Col. Long, who was
blamed for the loss of gunsatColenso,
that in advancing the guns as he did
he merely obeyed orders and that the
staff was quite ignorant of the proxim
ity of the Boer positions.
The sudden decision of the Boer
peace delegation to go to America is
attributed to the fact that the govern
ernment of the Netherlands,
sounding all the European capitals,
told them they had nothing to hope
for from Europe.
Colonel Dalgety’s force at Wepencr
numbered 1,700, His losses during
the siege were thirty killed and 149
wounded.
It is reported that there was an ar
tillery engagement Saturday at Karee
siding, but no delails have been re
ceived.
The Morning Post’s Bloemfontein
correspondent, in a dispatch dated
Sunday, protests against Mr. Wynd
ham’s reply iu the house of commons,
which undertook to discount the de
lay in Lord Roberts’ advance to lack
of horses.
According to a special dispatch from
Thaba N’Chu, dated Sunday, the Brit
ish troops, now that the adjacent coun
try is clear of the Boers who trekked
hurriedly in the direction of Lady
brand, will recuperate for a short
period.
The Standard’s special correspon
dent at Bloemfontein, telegraphing
Sunday evening, says reports have
just been received tLat the Boers are
retiring to the north of Ladybrand.
Their horses are exhausted and they
themselves disappointed over their
failure to capture Colonel Dalgety’s
position. The British Cavalry who
were pursuing the fugitive comman
does are returning to Bloemfontein.
WIFE FURNISHED MONEY.
Widow mf !. Hanker DlMklilfled With
Fro visions ot Will.
Dissatisfied with the provisions
of the will of her husband, Mrs.
Mary Rucker, widow of the late J. W.
Rucker, of Atlanta, Ga., has filed suit
in the superior court of that city
against his executors, for SIOO,OOO.
Mr. Rucker, wno was tho president
of the Maddox-Rucker Banking Com
pany, died January 12, leaving an
estate estimated to be werth $200,000.
In his will, made last October, Mr.
Rucker bequeathed to his wife his
household effects, equipages aud some
other personal propeity. He pro
vided that Mrs. Rucker should receive
SIO,OOO a year during her life, and
that at her death the estate should be
divided among his relatives and her
own.
The couple were married in 1801.
They had no children. At the time of
the marriage, according to Mrs. Ruck
er’s petition, neither had any prop
erty. She was then the daughter of
Chapman Powell, a wealthy man, and
in 1870 she came into possession of
her share of his estate, which was
$12,000. This she turned over to her
husband, who used it ai a nucleus of
his big fortune.
