BURIED UNDER FALLING EARTH
Street Hands Caught While Making
Excavations.

Columbia, Special.-Another serious
accident occurred On the sewerage sys-
ten Tuesday afternoon. 1t Will be re-
mcmbered that several months ago a
negro worker was buried beneath tons
of loose earth which poured in upon
him almost ~smothering him. FoTtu-
retely he escaped Unhurt though it was
only due to his wonderful constitution
and recuperative powers. The accident
yesterday while not fatal to anyone
was a terrible augury o. what might
happen. Three negroes were caught and
imprisoned by a huge mass Of shifting
sand which held them in a Vise-like
grip until they were released by the
strenuous expertions Of their comrades.
Though they were released as soon as
possible one was seriously hurt and
had to be carried to the Taylor Lane
hospital.
The three negroes, Tom Jones,
Abraham Evans and Cook Muse, were
working in the trench situated on lower
Main street not 20 yards below the
tracks Of the union depot. The ditch
was only about nine feet deep and
though the sand was Of the most
treacherous character it had shown no
sign Of collapse. Without warning
about Sis o'clock yesterday afternoon
a large portion Of the western wall,
about e feet long. caved in and the
unfortunate men were caught beneath
ing sand. .
The other men quickly rushed to
their assistance. Tom Jones was buried
in an UP right position about midway
his chest and helped himself free in a
short time. Abraham Evans was lying
under a covering of earth about two
feet thick with a part of his head visi-
Bile. He was rescued next. The next
victim to be taken from the trench was
Cook Muse who was found buried in a
recumbent position beneath about four
feet Of sand. He was extremely weak
and it was with great difficulty that he
was extricated.
Jones was practically unhurt. Evans
complained of pains in his chest but
was only suffering from the shock.
Muse was in a far more serious condi-
ton and lay in a tomatoes condition
upon tn. pallet Of jute bags upon which
be was temporarily placed.

Anderson, Special.-Quince Coch-
ran, a white man, was taken from his
home at Donnalds a few nights ago
and given a severe whipping by I'M
known parties, Cochran was not seri.
ously hurt, but has left home. The
cause Of the alleged whitecapping Is
said to have been that Cochran had
not been acting the part Of a loving

some of the best people Of the COM

the street and around the corner to a
hotel.
Billy Dick had never been in q hotel
before, and before he was half through
supper he made up his mind that as
soon as he was big enough he would
persuade the Family TO come there-it
was so nice to have hundreds of things
to eat all written out so you might
choose as many as you wished.
The two sat there, the very old man
and the little boy. having the best of
times. Billy Dick told the new-found
great uncle all about home and Rosy
Posy and Flopsy and Miss Elsie, who
was his Sunday-School teacher and his
very hest girl. and the fun he and
Flopsy had last year earning their
Christmas from Mr.. Minders. And
the old gentleman laughed and enjoyed
the jokes, and in turn told Billy Dick
what he did years and years ago when
he was q boy.
So the time passed away quickly, till
word was brought to them that there
mad been a wreck on the road, and that
no train could run through to Norfolk
that night.
But l must 60" said Billy Dick.
"My father is waiting for me. I'll
give them q dollar if they can let me
through"
\ dollar was 4 large sum to Billy
Dick ard as it was all he had il was
Il valuable offer.
The colored waiter showed his teeth
pleasantly. "Sho'. dey ain gwine lpf
ellen de President troo," he said
Sorry. sab"
Billy Dick looked frightened. But
but" he said. my father was to
meet me and telegraph to mother that
l go: there all right. and mother'l he
st worried. And father says it is cow
ardly 10 worry q lady"
We'll. well. it is too bad" said the
old gentleman. Your father won't
worry because he knows / am here.
ana We'll telegraph to your mother if
you ike"
SO Billy Dick ate the rest Of the sup
per. convinced that Il small boy
couldn't do much to clear the railroad
ii they would not e. do it for the
President himself.
After the ice-cream vas finished they
went to the telegraph Office and sen
the telegram.
Can you give mother my love-"
asked Billy Dick.
The old gentleman chuckled and
nodded.
Then there was nothing else to do
but spend the night in Richmond with
the new-found uncle, and such fun 1t
was to stay at a hotel.
Early in the morning Billy Dick and
his great uncle took the train for Nor
folk, ard soon the engine was puff1nS
into the station. And-Oh. joy!-there
was Dad anxiously peerins through
the window for his boy. he had
jumped OH the train before it stopped
and had Billy Dick in his arms.
In fact. Billy Dick forgot all about
his new-found uncle, for his father was
so clad to see him safe and sound.
Il must telegraph your mother at
once. Billy Dick" said his father.
she has been almost worried to death
about YOU when I could not telegraph
| her that you had arrived"
But Great Uncle Howell tele-
graphed. didn't you?" asked Billy Dick,
turning to the old gentleman. who was
| greeting some friends.
"Who?" asked Captain Morton.
Why" began Billy Dick. and as
he noticed that his father didn't shake
hands with the old gentleman, and
that the old gentleman apparently
didn't know his father. he introduced
them.
