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. Johnson Quits His Job. Clande M.

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. tkfnnccniNir, Winder, Georgia. Paid In Capital $25,000.00. THOS. A. MAYNARD, President. L. F.
