who was sd seriously injured between
car bumpers at the depot in Rock Hill on
Tuesday of last week, died on Friday.
He was attended by DR.. j. A. Meldau,
who made an autopsy of the body. The
railroad company, Of course, is not blam-
able for this very unfortunate accident.
Work on the Factory.
Work out at the factory building is pro-
crossing as rapidly as possible under the
circumstances; but under great disadvan-
tages on account of the weather and the
failure to get material in on time. The
sidetrack Of the o. R. &. G. railroad has
been completed and a few car loads of lum-
ber have arrived. Messrs. Evans & Moxon
have set up the foundations for most ofthe
cottages that are intended for the opera
tives; but the work Of making brick for
the main building is not well underway.
Within few days, however, everything
will be in good shape and the work will
be pushed with great rapidity.

Mrs. Groner, who knows well when she
was hatched gosling. The goose died
apparently of old age. In August 1893 this
paper copied an item from THE YORK
VILE ENQUIRER about a gander that was
then SO years old.
