SATURDAY, AUGUST 29 CITY NEWS BRIEFLY TOLD When Train Crashed Into Ice 1 Company’s Plant on 13th Street Serious Damage Was Result Refrigerating and Storage Equipment of Southern Ice Com pany Practically Put Out of Business For Day When De railed Box Car Struck it---Traffic Interfered With. Street Car Passengers Had to Climb Over Train The Southern Ice Company's plant on McKinne street at the C. & W. O. Railway crossing was practically put out of business for the day when its refrigerating and storage equipment was damaged by an Incoming C. & W. C. local freight train crashing Into one side of the building at S:3O o’clock this morning. There was no one killed or hurt. Derailment. The train consisted bf a long string of box cars and was moving at the Usual rate of speed taken when pass ing a crossing in the city limits. An examination of the tracks shortly af ter the wreck showed that one of the cars was derailed at a point on the opposite side of McKinne street, some 30 feet west of the sidewalk. The de railed car was the sixth from the en gine and it is stated that the engineer was unaware of the derailment un til the car had been dragged over the crossties and the paved street and into the corner of the ice plant. Be fore further damage was done the emergency brakes were applied and the entire train brought to a stand still. What a Spectator Said. A spectator was heard to remark right after the accident that if the engineer hadn't stopped he would have certainly taken the ice plant, or the greater part of it, right on to the union station with him. This would seem to be literally true from the gener;|l appearance of the wreckage immedi ately afterward. Officials of the railway company on the scene stated tliak they could not account for the derailment. At that time it could not be said whether it was caused from a faulty truck or not. However, when the train was stopped the rear trucks of the Sea board Air Line box car, No. 26420, the one which did the damage, were al most at right angles with the car. It seemed as if they might have steered the rear end of the heavy freight car into the ice company's’building, which is a frame structure, located only a few feet from the single track on which the train was passing. The car following was also dragged off the rails, presumably by the one fii«t derailed. The damage to the first car, the Seaboard's, will be consider able. To the car following it the dam age was slight. Heavy Shed Fell. The crash precipitated the ice com pany’s heavy shed which projects from the loading paltform to the sidewalk. It is of Iron and steel structure with sheet metal roofing. Fortunately, it happened that there were no wagons or persons under the shed at the time, according to a member of the ice com pany’s office force. It is likely that if anyone had been under the heavy shed at the time it fell they would have been seriously injured if not mashed to death. The office of the ice company ad joins the shed and when the terrible crash came there was somewhat of a feeling of uneasiness among those In the office at the time, who were Act ing Manager G. H. Dennis, Bookkeeper J. P. Murphy, and the office boy, Willie Scattergood. It all happened in a few seconds and there was no time to escape, if the entire roof of the plant had come down. Estimate $3,500 Damage. Mr. Murphy stated that the damage to the ice plant would be approxi mately $3,500. He said that the 100- ton capacity storage house, which is built of wood and which was damaged by the freight car, was put out of commis sion and that today there was no means of storing any ice where it would not melt. He also stated that one of the companies large 30-ton refrigerating tanks, which contains the briny water at 8 or 7 degrees Farenheidt temperat ture, was damaged by the compact suf ficient to cause leakage. The plant was also inconvenienced, said Mr. Murphy, from the fact that the ice had to be car ried out to the wagons, the loading plaftorm being put out of business. Clearing Away Wreckage- In short time after the accident the railway company had ite wrecking en gine and crew and an extra locomotive on the scene and by noon the wreckage was partially cleared away. The accident interfered with traffic on McKinne street for a few house. At first street car passengers to and from the city had to be transferred at the crossings, and it is stated that from one of the first cars arriving with passeng ers on their way to their work in the city this morning, ladies as well as men, climbed ov<A" the coupling between cars and walked in to the city. It was expected that there would be no delay to trains on the C. & W. C. after this afternoon. ST. JAMES CHURCH CHOIR HAS BEEN COMPLETED Ft.

The resigna tion will be acted upon tills afternoon at a meeting of the vestry, which has been called for 6 o’clock.

He will leave here about the middle of December with Mrs. Holbrook for New York City, where he will be as sistant pastor of the St. George’s Episcopal Church, in charge of the men and boys work of that parish. There are over five thousand members in St. George's parish, which is in the East Side. While the assistant pastorship of St. George’s Church will be a promotion for Mr. Holbrook, and his friends here congratulate him heartily upon it, they still are regretful at his leaving. Since he has been at the Church of the Atonement, ever since he has been in Augusta, he has made for himself both in and out of the church num bers of warm friends. y. 11. C. I.

Mayor Preston Writes to Mayor L. C. Hayne Calls Attention to Special Feature of Star Spangled Banner Centennial Celebra tion in September. Mayor James T. Preston, of Balti more, has written to Mayor Hayne, of Augusta, as follows: "My Dear Mr. Mayor: I beg to call your attention to a special feature of our national Star Spangled Banner centennial celebration. “Thursday, September 10th, will he Municipal Day. A parade will be held, upon the streets of Baltimore in which every department of the municipality will have an expensive float descrip tive of the manner In which munici pal work is done, and in a concise, practical way will portray the activi ties of our entire city government. As a public, official interested in studying municipal questions, having them to deal with ttaily, I know that you will appreciate the importance of such a parade. I mention this partic ularly because T realize that it will bo an additional incentive for you to try and he with us. Should you determine to come during that day of our cele bration, l shall ho glad to he informed of the fact and see that you are given a place in the line of march, so that your city’s participation will be brought to the attention of the public.

See that there big cooler? Well, It’s filled and iced every mornin’ and emptied twice before night. That's how they like it. I ain’t got no use ler t myself, but some folks” ho broke off in the middle of his sentence and shook his head in great sadness at the thought of the degeneration of the race. “Oh. yes,” said the bartendcAr. “There is a class of men who drink it.” lie put a firm accent on the “class.” “We have to keep it around, you know, but we don’t sell more’n a couple, of quarts a day. Hot weather don’t make ’em want buttermilk —no, not buttermilk.” Then the sleek proprietor walked up. “Well, I’ll tell you about this buttermilk busi ness,” he confided. “We don’t sell as much as we ought to. There’s as much money in It as there Is In beer; and I’d rather have my customers drink It, If they would. We pay four cents a (mart, and I s’pose we sell a quart for about 25 cents. It's the soda fountains that sell it now. and men go there for It, when they’d rather come here, for com panionship’s sake.” “Sell lots of It,” answered the hustling soda Jerker, around the corner. “Make laxatones and things out of it besides serving it straight. We use up close to five gallons a day here, and I guess all the other fountains of this size do the same. It’s good for what alls you.” Thus it is, the sellers of chinks regard the buyers of buttermilk in Augusta. Doctors say It is wholesome, and an ex cellent refreshment for hot weather. Most people don’t need a doctor’s recom mendation. The creameries of the town .ire wasting not a pint of it. Gallons and gallons are hauled Into town every day, particularly from two dairies and th trade, both private and wholesale, is booming. The city takes the regular output all the year around, and clamors for more in the hot weather. One or two dairies bottle it in sanitary half-pints like cre;iin, for bar and lunch-counter use. Most of them sell It out oflO-gnl lon cans. What they want is the but termilk, and they get It. They get it at the rate of about 250 gallons a day, according to one dairy man’s estimate, snd that amount would be doubled If the supply met the demand. CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS. FOR GOV’T TO BE HELD MV.
