HELD UNDER WATER.
Terrible Death Of 4 Steamboat
Employee.
BURIED MEATH TONS or ROCK.
An Overwsighted wharf Gives Way and
workinsman Il Drowned Under
it, Enormous Load.

Milton McAuiey, while unloading stone from
the J. G. Britain ct Pniuney & Bsx er's wharf,
near the foot OF Seneca street yesterday, met
terrible death by the giving way of part Of the
wharf which was heavily loaded with stone.
When the wharf collapsed he was on top OF the
pile Of stones. aud 1t is supposed that his body
now hes crushed beneath them at the bottom Of
the SOUND
The Britain had almost unfinished unloading
her cargo and seven men were ct work around
the derrick. About 150 tons of Chuckauut
stene from Beliipgham bay, consigned to Will
mot Davis, had been piled on the edge o the
wharf, covering an area thirty by forty feet For
good sh re of iss length the huge pile of rock
was ten feet high. McAuley was on opof the
pile engaged in l0osening the chain from the
stones as they were swung around in place.
There were only hall duzsn more stones to
hoist when. at 4:05, without moments warn
ing, the wharf gave way and two-thirds of the
pile OF stone with all Of the timbers underneath,
went down into the water.
Eye-wItnesses say that as McAniey went down
ne was on top Of the stones, aud it looked az
though he would not be hurt But part of the
wharf had not fallen, and from this there
dropped several large stones, and some Of the
planks ana beams, rid of their weight, rose to
the surface. Everything occurred 30 quickly
that ali Was over o few seconds after the wharf
gave way. McAuley went down instantly, and
zig thought that some Of the heavy stones
which fell after he went down struck him and
pinned him to the bottom
Efforts were immeo lately made to recover his
body but without avail The water is about
twenty-five feet deep at this point and diver
viii be sent down today to endeavor to extri-
cate the body If possible.
McAuley was between 80 and IS years OF age
and has been on the Sound abou. three months,
most OF which time he has been on the j. C.
Britain. He came from Wymaa, Michigan,
where he has q vile and two children. II is
said that he had been q seaman on the great
lakes, where he hsld responsible position. He
has brotner-inlaw living near the race track
in this city who will be notified of the accident
today aud who will take charge OF the body ii 1t
is found
The wharf upon which the stone was piled
has been built eleven M nths, and as the piles
hardly show sign of the destructive teort do, IL
is supposed that the accident was due entirely
to Overlooking. 1t is possible that the tide aud
undercurren's had washed away the support OF
the piles and this theory is strengthened by the
fact that Kilbourne's wharf, near Phinnty &
Bsxt RS, and others In the same vicini y, have
recently shown signs Of weakening ut the ends.

MillIoaires Fighting over Flume.

DAYTON, Aug. The o. |. Co. is a.
present having some little trouble in keep
ing their fume on its feet The workmen
of the Portland mills. of this place. on Sat-
urday last took the law into their hands
and tore the fume to pieces where it crosses
the Touchet, about half mile above the
city. On Sunday morning the fume crew
repaired the damage, and are now await
ing further action on the part of the mill
employees. G. B. " oodworth, of the mill,
claims that he has orders from Portland to
tear the fume out, while G. 3. Croker,
manager of the O. /. Co., has orders from
headquarters to project the property of the
company. Just what Ibis matter will re-
suit in is hare to tell, as both companies
are wealthy. representing millions OF
dollars. The mill is owned by w. 5. Ladd,
of Portland. The mill men ella i'm that the
fame takes part of the water from their
ditch. 1t is the opinion OF many that the
water used in the fume has no effect on
the mill ditch, as the fume head is twelve
mites up the creek. while the mill ditch
water is taken out only one-half mile
above tine mill.
