Work of AmbuIances.


Ambulances from all of the hos
pitfalls were on the ground almost as
soon as the fire companies, and houses
in the neighborhood were thrown
open to receive the little waits who
were carried from the asylum. The
ambulances were started to the hos
pitfalls with the more seriously burned
of the children. In several cases the
little victims were dead when taken
from the vehicle at the hospital doors.
Scenes Beyond Description.
The scenes at and near the asylum
were beyond description. A large
portion of the asylum building was
totally destroyed and the portion that
remains standing is probably in such
condition that it's demolition will be
necessary.
House Filled with Dead.
One nearby house was like a
morgue. Half a dozen dead bodies
lay on the floor in heaps of consumed
rags. Crowds gathered around to
look, but turned away quickly, sick
ened at the dreadful sight. :

The explosion, though of great force,
was not loud enough to awaken the
sleeping nurses. When the smoke be-
gan to pour into the east wing it was a
matter of but a few seconds before the
whole sleeping population was brought
TO a realization of the situation with
a suddenness which at once seemed to
rob nearly everyone of their judgment
and mental faculties. A terrible Choir
us of cries and groans filled the air.
1t was impossible to see anything and
as the thick smoke poured in the scene
became one of indescribable confusion.
The chief nurse, Miss Ashdown, did all
within her power to save the children
and nurses.
A Nurses Story.
Miss F. M. Hubbard, who had charge
of 90 children on the third floor in
the main building, said:
II was awakened by the cries of the
children. I knew that the building was
on fire, as did all the children. AS quick
ly as possible we all made our way to
the roof of the building, escape in any
other direction being impossible.
AIISouy lit ll1cIlcu Idu Iu01T lAUu0TS
to the roof of the building, and quickly
the children were carried down.. After
most of them had been rescued the heat
became so intense that to save myself I
SKID down a post leading from the roof
to the ground"
Miss Hubbard was terribly burned
about the face and body. The flesh
on her face was hanging in big
patches and blisters had formed on
the exposed portions Of her body.
Managers Meet.
There was a joint meeting of the
board of managers and the trustees
of the asylum in City Assessor Ponds
Office, and the room was filled to the
doors with members of the board and
those interested in the institution.
While all sorts of excuses were put
forward for the disaster, there was
unanimity in conceding hat the man
ayers had been derelict in that there
had not been a better and more COM
plete system of fire escapes provided.
One, Thomas C. Montgomery, frankly
expressed the opinion that managers
had been negligent in that they did
not employ a night Waterman at the
asylum, and that they had not had
the building patrolled nightly.

No man In the capital city Of the Stasa
Of Ohio IL better known than the Rev.
James Poindsxter. For many years he
has been the successful pastor Of the
Second Baptist Church Of that city.
Every day his venerable figure and
kindly face may be seen on the streets
Of the city where he has lsbored for -
many years. What . history OF benev-
slenee and self-sacrifice might be writ
ten by simply giving the details Of the
everyday life Of this faithful pastor and
eloquent preacher.
Butold ago comes to the best Of men.
The rheumatics peculiar to advanced

ages when It became necessary to find .

An efficient nerve tonic that would
stimulate the circulation, improve the
digestion, and increase the tone and
vigor of his whole system, WAS needed.
The only remedy capable of meeting all
these indications was found to be Pc
runa. In arecent letter to DR.. Hartman,
he states:
"My attention was called some time
ago to your medicine for rheumatic
troubles by Mr.. Cook, an old reliable
druggist Of this city, and take pleasure
In saying that have tried them and

william J. Bell amy and Iredeli Meares
Have . Personal Encounter.
A special to Tuesdays Morning
Post from Wilmington says: City
Attorney William J. Bellamy horse
whipped ex-City Attorney Iredell
Meares in one of Wilmington's most
public streets this morning, and the
affair created considerable excite
ment for a while. When Bellamy
met Meares he began using whip
on him at once. They clinched,
and friends ran up to separate them.
Meares claims that he was struck
by one Of Bellamy's friends in the
mix up. Meares received bad cash
ON the head and GEL eral other bruises.
The trouble grew out Of the con-
test for city attorney when Bellamy
defeated Meares. There has been
bad blood between them ever since.
Bellamy claims that Meares has been
making slanderous remarks about
him and defaming his character. 1t
Is understood that another matter
which has not come to the surface
is at the bottom of the trouble to-
day.
Bellamy went to Meares' Office tC
cow-hide him, and, not finding him
there, met him a few minutes later
in the streets.
1t is thought that more serious
trouble may follow, as both factions
are prominent people and there il
great bitterness between them.

Five Men Crushed to Death by the FAN
Of an Immense Bridge.
Columbia, 8. c., Aug. ga Sc.
rious accident happened yesterday
morning, as result of which five
men were killed and a number sus-
tanned severe injuries. The accident
occurred on the new bridge of the
Southern Railway over the Congaree
River in process Of construction.
The massive new beam bridge is be-
ing built upon the piers Of the pres
emit bridge, and as fast as section
of the new bridge is put in the old
bridge is taken out. It was two of
these massive beams weighing about
sixty thousand pounds each, that
came down, the one upon the bed of
the old bridge the other going on
into the river. They were suspend
ed from the derrick supports about
Is feet above the bed of the old
bridge, and these supports gave way.
The Southern Railway was In no
way concerned in the accident, the
responsibility resting entirely upon
the Phoenix Bridge Company of
Pennsylvania, the contractors. The
fall of the bridges massive beams
came very near knocking the bridge
to pieces. 1t trembled and shook
from the shock, but stood intact.
Five men were crushed to death be-
meath the great weight, four killed
outright and several wounded.
The dead are: 8. J. Castlebury of
Pennsylvania, white, and four neg
roes.

fatally wounded by police officers
who caught him in the act Of burg
larizing Berkeley shoe store Sunday
morning.
When Ives was carried home his
mother refused to permit the dying
boy to be brought into the house.
She had repeatedly warned him to
give up his evil ways, she said, and
now that he had brought himself to
such miserable end, the police
could do with him as they pleased.
There being nowhere else to carry
him, the officers were finally forced
to break into her house and leave
Ives to the mercy Of his heartless
mother.

torial:
at appears that there Is some

1t was very different in North Caro-

Democrats Of State prominence, 80
far az we are aware, who were out
spoken In their opposition to it
one Of these voted against 1t, or, at
all events, intended TO. In Alabama
Senator Morgan is opposed to the
new constitution and has been at
pains to advertise the fact. Senator
Pettus is against the grandfather
clause, but the statement has been
made that he will advocate adoption
The opposition Of Ex-Governor
Johnston Is deep-rooted and violent,
and it is even intimated that he
will take the stump for the defeat
of the constitution. He makes no
secret Of the fact that he Is opposed
to it and expresses doubt as to Its
ratification. He states that he has
had communications from many
people in the state and that he has
personally seen many people, Is OF
the opinson that 1t will take HARD
work to have the constitution favor
ably voted upon and that "blach

; sued to have it adopted. Every
