COMPLETE DRMo1rr1oN OF A SAW MIL

COMPLETE DEMOLITION OF SAW MILL
AND Loss OF LIFE.-The most complete
demolition OF steam saw-mill that it
he's ever been our province to report co.
CURED. on last Friday afternoon, at
point four miles North Of Dalton, and
one mile East of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad, the par
tlculars OF which, as narrated to us by
parties who seem to be conversant with
the facts, are as follows:
On the evening mentioned, there were
some eight or ten persons mt the mill be-
sides those engaged ut work, brought
there from various causes. Among the
number WAS the engineer, who had had
charge OF the engine up to within few
days of it's explosion. He left the en-
ploy Of the Messrs. Brokers, who owned
the mill, on account of some difficulty in
regard to q settlement between them,
and the engine was placed under the
control Of an inexperienced man. The
former engineer came to the mill on
Friday for u final settlement, and shortly
after arriving. noticed the condition Of
the boiler, aud observed that he believed
it would explode in very short time,
and he anu ono OF the gentlemen imme-
dintcly left. The explosion took place
in few minutes thereafter, instantly
killing four and wounding eight mon.
One Of the wounded men died soon
after, another of them died on Sunday
evening. aud another cannot possibly
recover. The remaining five may recover
One Of the killed was fifty yards from
the boiler at the time Of the explosion,
wing wagon drawn by four oxen,
loaded with saw-logs. and, singular to
relate, he, together with MI of the oxen,
were killed. There was no water conve-
nient wLerewith to supply tho engine,
aud it had to be hauled from IL creek.
Empty oil barrels were used for this
purpose, and made the water somewhat
greasy. which trouble the inexperienced
engineer did not understand and conse-
quently did not know how to deal with
or control it, The explosion is a,tri.
buted to this cause The names of the
killed are Wilson, Quillan, Brinkley and
Chastain. Chns,ain was blown 100 yards
through the trees, and was torn to pieces
by tree top. Such sight WAS never
seen before. Mr.. Brinkley was thrown
fifty yards, aud was torn to pieces by q
stump. his head striking first. Nothing
remains OF the mill but the SOW, the
engine boing thrown in every direction
for ono mile. as some parts of it we're
picked up actually one mile from the
place OF the explosion.

GEN. PHILLIP DRAYroN Cook The
subjeot of this notice, mention of whose
death WAS made in our last issno, de-
serves more than passing notice, on
account of his former prominence in
our District. General Cook was born
about the beginning of the present CEN
tury. and consequently ut the time OF
his death had attained fully the three
scoro and ten years Of life. He WAS first
brought into public notice as Colonel
the Sixth Regiment of South Carolina
Cavalry. This position he held until
elected Brigadier General OF the Third
Brigade of Cavalry. He filled the latter
Office for n number of years. AT the
breaking out of the late war, although
sixty odd years of age, he volunteered
as private in cavalry company raised
ut Columbia. While with this company
M its orderly sergeant, on the coast, he
was elected to the Legislature from this
District. and served in that body one
term. Since tho war, he has remained
in retirement, being like most of our
old ctizcns-brokrn in spirit aud for
tune. General Cook was held in mucl,
esteem by large circle Of friends. who
will ever hold i'll remembrance his pub
lilo services. - lVinnSbor0 Ne,cs.
