SERIOUSLY HURT
 BY RUNAWAY TEAM
Horses Become Frightened and Run, 0verturning Trap.
 Mill Damaged by Fire

Meridian, Miss May 30.-(Special. )-An exciting, and what may prove to be a very serious runaway, occurred here this afternoon. John K. Knapp, a prominent citizen of Demopolls, Ala, and Miss Ma mic Kearney, had started for drive and when opposite the city hall the horses be- came frightened and ran away.
 After going several blocks the trap was overturned and the occupants thrown to the ground. Miss Kearney was badly bruised, and is suffering tonight from the severe shock she received, being kept under the influence of opiates.
 MT. Knapp was also badly hurt though the attending physicians do not think his injuries will result seriously.
 There was a terrific explosion at the Eureka blaming mills in this city this af- ternoon and a fire resulted in a loss to the company of about $150O Shavings in some way caught fire, and the blaze was quickly communicated to the boiler room. This forced the worlsmen out of the boiler room, and 1t was impossible to give any attention to the accommodating steam.
 While the Workmen were fighting fire, terrific report was heard from within, and a major portion of the huge boiler was seen to shoot into the air over the heads of the men. The machinery fell about hundred feet away, but no one was injured. The escape of the workmen was miraculous in the extreme.
 Fortunately the fire did not reach the main works which are about 70 feet from where the boiler stood.
 The loss is partially covered by insur- ance. -.,. sa..l

BIG ENTERPRISES
 FOR BROWNSBORO
New Yorkand Philadelphia Cap italists Secure Option on
 Big Tract ofLand

Huntsville, May 30. = Especially = New York and Philadelphia capitalists have taken options on several thousand acres of land around Brownsboro, station ten miles west of here on the Southern Rail- way, and will, it is stated, erect a large cotton mill, woolen mill, lumber mill and other industrial plants. It is their pur- pose to develop the tremendous power of Flint river and make 1t run all of the in dustries. The men behind this enterprise have kept their names secret very suc- cessfully, but their agents have been very active in binding up all the available lands contiguous to the river within a dis tance of mile above and below the rail- road. The plan conceived by these men contemplates the establishment of the most extensive industrial development in this part of the State. The employees of the several industries will be grouped to- gether in a good-sized town, which will be provided with all modern conveniences, including electric railway connection with Huntsville.
