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. The otiiera arc G. Ktapleton, injured in the Terms, $1 A Year, In Advance. i head and ankle; W.

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. Upper Richmond. BY LEON.

'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. -• • • - —.—..1.1.11 , 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. Oh tied by Wadiutgloo. Waynesboro True Citizen: There is a negro living in Gath district, named Ned Barfield, who Hays that he is 125 years old. He also states that ho was once owned by General Washington. He remembers and gives a pretty accurate account of Cornwallis’ surrender, and of La- Fayette’s visit to the United States after the Revolutionary war. He has the appearance of a centenarian.
