Just after they had been placed on a
dray at the Central railroad depot
Friday three iron cylinders carrying
a pressu;'e of many thousand pounds
of carbonic acid gas, which is used by
T. O. Whitchard & Co. at their bot
tling works, exploded in the vicinity
of the Dawson’s Consolidated Gro

injured the driver and damaged the
dray on which they were loaded and
another dray that was nearby.
It seems that the cap of one of the
drums blew off, and openings
were made in the other two by the ex
plosion that followed. The gas issued
forth like the combined noise of escap
ing steam from twenty locomotive
engines and hurled the iron drums out
into the air with a propelling power
that sent one for a distance of nearly
two blocks up Main street, finally be

BEE H{VE WILLL BE REMODELED
Growing Business of the Popular Dry

A number of improvements on the
store house occupied by thelßee Hive
will be made next month. A new and
modern front will be put in, the build
ing extended back for a distance of fif
teen feet and the interior handsomely
improved.
The Bee Hive has grown steadily
in popular favor since its management
was assumed by Messrs. Pearlman &
Klavansky, and the increase in the
business done by the firm necessitates
the improvements that will soon be
begun. The standard of goods car

of remodeling the building has been
completed no prettier or more relia

‘ FIRST STEP TAKEN FOR WATER-
I WORKS AND SEWERAGE.
The Extent and Cost of the Proposed
Systems to Be Shown. Lot Pur
chased for Plant and Wells.
The city council, looking toward the
installment of waterworks and sewer
age, has employed Mr. J. B. MeCra
ry of Senoia to make a survey of the
city with a view to furnishing an esti
mate of the cost of constructing these
utilities. Mr. McCrary is an engineer
of reputation and ability, and the fig
ures which he will furnish will doubt
less be thoroughly reliable.
Full information concerning the ex
tent of the systems and the cost of
putting them in will thus be given the
citizens before they vote on the bond
)issue which will be necessary to
meet the expenses of the work. It is
not thought now that more than $60,000
will be required to build complete
and satisfactory waterworks and sew
erage. :
| Mr. McCrary will receive $5OO for
‘making the preliminary surveys and
estimates, and if he is awarded the
contract for superintending the con
‘struction he will be paid 5 per cent of the
sum expended therefor, or approxi
mately $3,000, from which, however,
the $5OO will be deducted. This is the
usual fee paid engineers for such
work.
Mr. McCrary says he will have
the plans in the city clerk’s office
ready for inspeetion by the public
early in July, and the council will
probably call the election for some
time in August.
Another important step taken by the
council in connection with the install
ment of waterworks was the purchase
on Friday of property facing College
street and contiguous to the electric
light plant on which to build.
a pumping station, sink artesian
wells and erect a standpipe. Thisl
property, which was bought from Mrs.
N. A. Williams, embraces a residence |
and a half acre of vacant land, and‘
the price paid for it was $BOO. In the
event of the construction of the water
works system the necessary machinery
will thus be run in connection with
that of the light plant, and one super
intendent for both will be employed.
The wisdom of the mayor and coun
cil in both of these matters is re
ceiving general commendation.
