NEVER KNEW WHAT HIT THEM.
Saw Mill Exploded at Damascus with
Fatal Results.

DAMASCUS. GA, FEBRUARY 15.-One
of the boilers of Cheves & Sons saw
mill here exploded at o'clock, killing
two people and perhaps fatally wound
ing two more and completely wrecking
the surroundings.
The killed were: William Green,
James Garsi.
Th, mill had been shut down for the
night and all were gone except the
four who were injured and killed. Will
Green, colored, one of the firemen, was
found wrapped around a pump fully
forty feet away and almost torn to
pieces. w. C. Etler, white, was sit.
ting Just in front of the boiler and was
taken out senseless and his condition
ia homeless. Another negro was found
dead near the furnace under heavy
timber. Pieces of the boiler weigh
ing several hundred pounds are lying
100 yards away torn as if it had been
cloth. The furnace was almost blown
away. Brickbats were blown every
where. as we'll as pieces of iron. The
big whistle cannot be found. The
boi .er was new and had just been pu
in. The cause of the explosion is un-
known. The report was was heard five
miles away. All the nearby glass
windows were shattered to pieces by
the shock. Only a small piece of the
boiler remains wher, it was.

KLINE A SMOOTH ARTICLE.
Americas Bank :. Determined to Secure
Conviction, However.

Abe Kline, the young drummer who
is apparently wanted in Georgia, Flor
ida and Alabama on various charges,
principally the cashing of worthless
drafts, has been taken to Americas for
trial pom a warrant charging cheat
ing and swindling. Kline caught an
Americas bank with worthless draft,
and in order to insure conviction the
bank has telegraphed Kline's former
employer in Baltimore to come to
Americas immedie tely, guaranteeing
all expenses OF his trip south. Kline
was tried in Stewart county Thursday
upon very similar Charges, but escaped
conviction probably through lack OF
sufficient evidence, which the Ameri-
Gus bank hopes to establish in its case
by bringing Baltimore parties here to
testify.

the blaze being barn belonging

WORNER WAITS.

triCt Community.


There have been no Worner items

keep the ball rolling while we were

married aud has better job. HOwev-
err, we have got back home and gone
to digging stumps, and we expect to
have something new for our people
every week.
Mr.. John H. Oxford, one of our old
confederate veterans says he has trav-
eled over seven states and measured
with every tall man he met, but has
never found one as tall as he is, MIR.
Oxford is undoubtedly the tallest man

see him gather fruit. He can pick it
from the top OF the trees without any
trouble.
Mr.. John Lane, who was the last to
get married at Worner, says he thinks
the matrimonial bali will quit rolling
now. Jack and l differ with him. The
old widowers and widows will give the
ball push now.
Those who visit the newly marie i
folks this year with the expectation OF
getting fried chicken will be disap-
pointed. Judging from the shells we
see no eggs will be set.
Mr.. Luther Ellis, our new constable,
has traded for tine trotting horse.
Look out, boys: you had better not do
anything now, for he will outrun you.
Jack and I are good fellows now.
MIR. Charlie Novels, who lived at
Plains last year, has moved back to
his old home: also Mr.. Jesse Kennedy
has come back from north Alabama to
spend this year.
There has been much sickness
around Worner, grippe being the pre-
vailing complaint. Several are con-
fined to their beds.
Several of our good friends have left
US since Christmas. J. 3. Novels and
W. Lane have gone to the wiregrass.
All of our people regret. DR.. Jno. T.
Lamar's death. For twenty years he
did the practice in this community.
Mr.. J. r. Davis, our road overseer,
is going to have good road. He will
put sewer pipe in several places.
Judge Daniel, our recently elected
J. p, makes us good justice. He
works well in new harness.
We learn that Worner will be head
quarters for a rural mail route that
will soon be established.
The farmers around WOrner are bad
ly behind with their work.. caused by
the bad weather.
Mr.. B. F. Scott, our enterprising
merchant, keeps his stock full and Sc Is
cheap for cash.
Our regular meeting day is now the

Affairs At rek,n.

Washington, July 3O.-Mr. Rockhill
has reported to the state department
that the negotiation In Pekin will close
within two weeks with a signatory
protocol by all of the powers.
The Russian government has signi.
fed its intention OF not further pi ess-
ing LAe question at present OF the
eventual increase OF the import GUS
toms duties beyond per cent (the
present fgure). 1t Is agreed that In
case the revenues Of China are not
sufficient for the payment Of interest
and principal the powers are to ex-
.-.uine the revenues and determine
what changes are necessary In order
to supply the deficiency. The imperial
maritime customs are to be included
In this arrangement.
The British minister Is satisfied
with this arrangement, and the whole
question OF financial measures Is
therefore settled. The 100000, 900
taels. constituting the indemnity, are
to be converted into gold at the equiv
alent of the tacl value on the LIST OF
last April. In case the import duties
are subsequently increased the free
list will have to be abolished, except
for cereals; but 1t is understood that
compensation will In that case be
asked for, probably the financial par
ticipation OF China in even the water
approaches Of Shanghai and Tientsin.
All the principal points of the nego-
tiations are now settled, and it is OK
pected that the results will be sum-
married in the final protocol within
two weeks. and that all the powers
will become signatories.
In connection with the indemnity
payments a question has arisen
whether the United States govern
ment will take its share to be issued
by China in American gold or in
pounds sterling. The disposition OF
LAS government Is to take the bonds
in the form that will be the least in
convenient to the Chinese govern
ment, and in the interest of uniform
ity it Is probable that the payments
will be paid in pounds sterling.

Musicians Well Paid,

London, July 30.-Never before have
singers and operate stars received such
very large sums for performing in private
houses as they have received this season.
Kubelik, the youthful violinist, is easily
the lion of the lot. He never played at a
private concert for less than l2O g1lineas,
and generally got 200, and there was
scarcely an evening that he was not found
at the house of some millionaire. One
well known woman gave Kubelik party
each week, and, not satisfied with paying
him the maximum sum for his services,
presented the violinist with Stmdivarius
worth 1850. Mime. Melba's London
agent asserts that she has received 500
guineas twice for appearing at private
parties. Paderewski got 1000 guineas for
two performances in houses on Carlton
House terrace. In many cases these large
sums are paid by Americans.
