I FALLING WALL KILLS TWO MEN AND
INJURES MANN MORE.
Tragic Incidents of a Fire in
the Augusta Factory Gas
House Last Friday Night—
Two Men Killed and Several
Injured.
From the Evening News we gather
the following particulars relative to
the terrible catastrophe which occur
red in Augusta last Friday night:
The fire oecnred a little after 8 o’clock in the
gas house, and it is supposed that the rosin,
which is used in the manufacture of gas, be
came overheated and caught fire after the
vorks were locked up for the night. The
conflagration was no fault of the gas maker,
Mr. A. Crocker, and the disastrous consequen
ces involving the deaths of Mr. M.E. Hill and
Mr. W. C Allen and the injury of nearly a
dozen other men are entirely accidental.
PAHTIOULABH OF THE ACCIDENT.
When the fire was discovered ami the alarm
brought out the department and spectators,
the small gas house in rear of the Augusta
Factory building was in flames. Mr. George
W. Hutchins, of the carding room and the
night watchman Imd attached the house to a
plug and were vainly endeavoring to stop the
fire. In company with about a dozen men,
Mr. M. E. Bill, superintendent of the wood
department, and Mr. W. C. Allen, master ma
chinist of the factory, Huperintendent Cogiu of
the factory, and Mr. ('. H. Ktrickhind wore
standing near the gas house. It was sugges
ted that, the side door be pushed open, and the
two first named, with others, attempted to
break open the door with poke. In the mean
time the metal roof was very much heated and
the iron girder at the top of the roof was red
hot. Tho expansive force of the metal to
gether with the blows against tho door shook
the brick walls and the whole gable end of the
wail was pushed from its position to the ground
below and immediately on the heads of the
men at work on tho door.
The brick wall in falling struck the opening
door and was divided or more men might have
been injured. Mr. Btricklaml and Mr. Cogin
were thus miraculously saved, but the iiiilhh of
brick tumbled upon the others b< fore the
warning voice of Mr. W. E. Heotield, who was
in the party, could be heard. He, looked up
and saw the moving gable and called to Mr, |
Hill and those nearest the building to move,
but it was too late. Hr- was struck on his foot
ami wide, and so was Mr. (Jogin by the falling
bricks, ami the others were buried in the
debris.
RBMOVIXG THE BODIES.
Ah soon as the terribk accident occurred the
spectators rushed in to remove the debris and
uncover the injured men. The scene bailies
description, ami the cricH of the injured vic
tims were heartrending 'l'hcv were lifted out
of the dobris as soon as possible and cared for
by the officers anti men at hand. Physiciatiis
were summoned, and the injured men were
borne away on litters to their homes.
LIST OE ThV. DEAD AND JN.JLTtFJ).
Mr. M. E. Hi LI lived about five minutes after
the catastrophe, but he never regained con
sciousneHH. He was terribly mutilated and
dsfigured and hardly recognized, h is utterly
impossible to describe the harrowing scene
when bis dead body was borne back to the
home which be had loft in happim-ws and
health a few minutes befori-. Ho h aven a wife
and nix children, and the picture of that home
is too sad to dwell nj>on.
Mr. <’. W. Allen, the Master Machinest,
lived until 10 o’clock. His body showed no
sign ofhis injuries, which w< re internal. He
lived two doors from Mr. Hill, and bis borne
presented just such such another sad scene,
for be leaves a wife and five children. He was
a capable, popular and efficient man and
machinist, ana has held bis position at tlu;
factory for several years.
Gs those injured Mr. John Edwards was the
sadest case. H<j is a young man and a
weaver at the King Mill. His scalp was entirely
removed from his head, bis side was terribly
torn open and his right kg fractured. Little
hope was entertained for him, but he is alive
to-day. He placed in the factory office
and was conscioiis all night am) was wonder
fully calm to be so horribly mangled. He was
removed to the hospital to-day.

One of the most remarkable frrttlltM of tho
terrible accident of last Friday night is the ftf- 0
rovt ry of George Edwards, the young tmfiu who [I
. h id his scalp torn oil, his side injured and his
I leg broken. Ho was given upas a dead num |
and the minor of hisdeath Was elrrillated oil 5
Saturday. Indeed, the report was tot vgrftpheit |
away nud published in the (’harlesten News. '
His life was despaired of by everybody except I
tho wounded man himself and with a pluck J
that defied death, ho said all the while that ho
would recover.
A reporter of tho Evening News called nt tho
hospital this morning, and when shown up to
Edwards’ room found him sitting up in bed
and conversing quietly and uheorfiilly with
other patients. The attending physieinn thinks
he is out of danger, and Edwards is con*
grain la ted on all sides on hie miraculous re*
cowry and on tho fulfilment of his hopeful
prophecy.

Court at Edgefield.
Robert Jones’s Trial Cuntinaed until tiro
Next Term of the Court.
'l'he three cases of the State against
Robert T. Jones for the murder of
Edward Pressley, Sr., and his sons,
Edward Pressley, Jr., and Cliarlev
Pressley, were called Saturday morn
ing. The defendant wan represented
by Major W. T. Gary and Gary <t
Evans, ami the State by Solicitor R.
G. Bonham. 'The defence made a
motion for continuance, on the
ground of the absence of important
witncsHCH, submitting affidavit!! to
sustain tho motion. The Solicitor
said that the State was ready to go to
trial, but that inasmuch as the motion
was within the rules of Court he
would interpose no objection to a
continuance. Judge Fraser therefore
marked the case continued, and the
prisoner was remanded to jail, where
he will remain until the next term of
court. Jones looked as if prison life
agreed with him, and did not seem at
all excited or disconcerted during
his arraignmert under the three sep
arate imlictments.—Evening News.

Fire
Waynesboro True Citizen: David
Hains, colored living on the Miller
place, some six miles from town last
Sunday night, lost his house and con
tents by tire. Three of his smaller
children were asleep, and were awa
kened by tho crackling of the fire,
ami hardly escaped with their lives.
He and the other members of the
family wor absent nt church, and
when tho lire was discovered it had
made too much headway to allow
the saving of anything. It is not
known how the fire originated. Losh
about S3OO. The fact is the occur
rence of children being locked up in
houses ihm! burned to death, and
everybody leaving home and allow
ing by simple negligence their houses
to bo burned, comes too often, and
we are of the opinion that a thorough
investigation would reveal, to suy the
least of it, criminal negligence.

Waynesboro True Citizen: There
