George II. Preblc of Fairfield, a~young
brickmason, employed on the I0fnton
block, met with Il bad accident. Thursday
forenoon that narrowly escaped taking
his life.
lie was at work on the east wall of the
building leaning out of a window, when
the support gave away and he was seen
to leap into the air. Several workmen
saw him strike the ground 50 feet below
about p feet from the building, upon his
left foot. pitching with great force upon
his left side and face, badly bruising his
head and body
The men rushed to his assistance. and
carried him to the stable of the Peoples
Ice Company near by. where he lay
writing with pain, until DR.. Friend ar
rived, Very few moments later During
all the time the unfortunate young man
did not lose consciousness. and after the
first, pluckily bore the excruciating pain
in an amazing manner.
Opiates to allay the pain We're given
him. and he was removed to the Crooker
Sanitariunl, where it was found that he
had suffered a compound fracture Of the
left thigh, being a very bad break
His body was much bruised and his face
badly cut, owing to the bricks that were
where he fell, but no other bones were
broken.
1t could not be ascertaincd Thursday
afternoon whether any internal injuries
We're received, but as none were apparent
il was hoped that there are none.
The young man is a nephew of the
master mason. The effect of the awful
accident was great upon the crew that
they did not work in the afternoon. The
friends of the young man feel thankful
that he did not strike upon his head or
side, which would have been instant

Stories OF Deaths in Augusta Company
Not Confirmed.

There have been many stories circu-
lated during the past week. concerning
the health of the Augusta company at
Chickamauga, some OF the rumuYs stat
ing that there had been deaths in the
ranks, but so far as the Journal is able
to learn, there is but little foundation
for the latter stories.
It may be possible that there is a
certain amount OF illness due to the
change of climate. and drinking the
water, and some of the letters home
state that few are i'll from this ae-
count, but say that the general health
is good.
NJ. o. Savage had a letter from his
son. Lieut.. Benz. Savage, Wednesday,
and he did not mention any death or
serious illness in the company.
The Journal is in a position to learn
through it's correspondent if there is
any serious Illness in the regiment, and
thus far he has not mentioned any, 50
it is believed that thus far our Augusta
boys are all right.
