ATERRBLE CATASTROPHE
COLLAPSE or A NEW BUILDING IN COLDS
B0R0.
Two Persons Instantly Killed and one not tx
pected to Recover The Foundation
was Insecure.
(Goldsboro Argus.

At 1850 o'clock to-day, just as the
work1nsH were assembling on the build
| ing to resume work after the dinner
hour, the building, a wooden structure
| which Messrs. Ii. We'll and Brothers
were having erected at the northeast
corner of the cotton yard, on John
street, for storing cotton, collapsed with
| terrific crash that sent terror to the
| hearts Of every man around the build
| ing and of every person in the neigh
borhood, for we'll they knew that fatal
must be the result of those engaged at
| work thereon.
The tale of death is briefly told: Abe
Faison and Mills Mabry, or Mebane
Millard, as some call him, two cOlored
men at work as helpers about the struc-
ture. were crushed to death, neither OF
them, perhaps, ever knowing. just. wha t
killed them. Their bodies were removed
as quickly as possible, but their skulls
we're even crushed, and death was in
Simultaneous. The scene was horrible TO
look upon. The cries of the dead men .
wives and children as they gathered
around were heart-rending.
There were 10 men at work ON the
building, and why more were not killed
is simply miraculous. AS it is, several
were more or less injured. They are
Messrs. Dock johnson, Charles Weber,
Boaz Sasser and Jesse Pipkin, all white.
Mr.. johnson is the most seriously inJur-
ed. and grave fears are entertained for
him, Mt this writing.
Immediately upon the accident many
gathered from all quarters of the city,
as the news spread, and every one did
what they could to alleviate the pains
Of the injured. and the sorrow of those
weeping for their dead.
1t is to be hoped that this terrible
catastrophe will beqa warning for all
time in future against the erection Of
hastily constructed and inseeureiy
founded buildings.

that the Unino Pacific will not buy the

if it would be possible for the company

was given that the statement was prac-

done at a cost less by one-third than

Pacific. The additional information
furnished that it would only
be necessary to build three miles OF

could be entered into with the Missouri

The ways of trapping are as various

the more fun it always is. Steel traps

OF all the animals in this country
there is none that affords less harmful
sport than the rabbit-more properly
hare-Of which there are several spe.
cies. Its wonderful powers of increase
enable it to hold its own, as tar toe
many of u best and most valuable
animals do not. Furthermore, rabbit.
are very easily trapped.
Every Ii knows its little trail, as
broad as oue's hand, through the bushes
or broom sedge, or its footprints as it
hops over the clear snow. Here, where
the path goes under u fence rail, it has
stopped 20 snaw. The rabbit follows
