The injured:
Dwight Bailey, aged 43 years, mar

The Bailey and hileman families.
about 16 in all, left their homes IN
Rosston and went to the banks of
Crooked run, a short distance away,
about o'clock. They had fishing
net with them and began to fish for
minnows with great success. The
net, after being taken out several
times and cast back, finally became
entangled in a snag. The water at
this point is about ton feet deep, the
location being fam lrly known AS
the sink Hole"
After vanlv ende' vOring TO release
the net, young Kirk Bailey swan out
to see what the trouble was. As he
approached the net he was suddenly
called for help, saying that his feet
had become entangled in the net. His
struggles were terrible and Andrew
HIleman, seeing that the boy could
not continue his struggles much long
err, started to his rescue. As Hileman
was approaching the trapped boy, he
too, was seen to throw up his hands
and make desperate struggles TO go
forward The fatal net had also
wrapped around his feet and he was
caught in the same plight as the boy
Dwight Bailey, father of the strug-
gnng boy, now jumped into the
water and started to release the i'm
prisoncd men.
When he neared the net he was
caught as his son and Mr.. Hileman
had been and he yelled to the crowd
on the bank that ne was caught i'll
the net and could do nothing more.
Finally \. i. Bailey, brother of
Dwight, saw the direction in which
the current had dragged the net.
Keeping above the net he succeeded
IN rescuing his brother and getting
him to the shore in an unconscious
condition, from which he had not ral-
lied at p. m. He will probably die.
At the instant the elder Bailey was
released from the net the son sank
for the last time and Mr.. Hileman,
seeming to make final effort to help
the youth. was also drowned. Dur

families were on the bank in agonized
helplessness. Hileman and Bailey are
well known and quite wealthy.

PANIC AMONG EMPLOYEES.
blaze In a Leather Factory at PhilR.
delphia - A Number of People Sc
vereiy Injured.

Philadelphia, June 14.-Fire yester-
day destroyed the leather factory of
ii. VI. ROSenblatt & Co., a four-stOry
brick structure at Second and Ok
ford streets, and resulted in severe
injuries to a dozen persons. The John
MOtfet public school, opposite the
Heather works, was damaged, three
dwelling houses adjoining the factory
were destroyed and nine others were
slightly damaged. The rapid spread of
the flames gave rise to rumors that
a number of employees had met death
in the burning factory, but these re-
ports proved to be erroneous. \ mem
ber of the firm of Rosenblatt & Co.
last night said all the employees had
been accounted for.
There We're many sensational and
narrow escapes, most of the 400 men
and women employed in the factory
saving their lives by leaping from
the windows into nets held by fire
men. Katie Scheidell, aged Is years,
was carried down a ladder by police
man. Others severely injured are:
George Hebert, aged A, back in
jurcd.
John Snyder, aged %, shoulder dis
located and leg fractured.
August Schoetcr, aged 40, leg frac-
tured.
Samuel Trankerman, aged 25,
burned about body.
Several others, including a police
sergeant and two firemen, sustained
severe decorations and were over
come by heat and shock.
The fire originated in a small an
mex known as the celluloid room. It
is believed a spark from crossed
electric wires fell into quantity Of
celluloid. The fire caused a panic
among the employees, especially those
on the upper floors and for time
the widest excitement prevailed.
Firemen and policemen, however, pre-
vented the panic-stricken workers
from leaping until nets had been
spread to receive them.
Mr.. Roscnblatt estimates his loss
at $150,0OO, partly covered by insur-
ance, and the loss on the other prop
critics is estimated at $4,000.

WIPED OUT BY FIRE.
An Alabama Town Is Almost Conn
pleteIy DestrOyed-LOss S75O,OOO.

Montgomery. Ala, June 14.-The
town of Alexander City, 1900 in
habitants, was almost completely de-
stroyed by fire Friday afternoon. =
appeal for succor for the destitut,
has been made.
The loss reaches at least $3.50, 900,
which the insurance will not begin to
cover.
The flames began IN a foundry, and
the long period of hot, dry weather
had prepared the buildings for the
rapid spread of the flames. A light
wind was blowing and with fierce
rapidity the fire spread from build
ing to building until the entire town
was mass of flames. The place has
no water works and the terror-strick-
EN- people were helpless.
Dadeville was telegraphed for dyna-
mite so that some of the buildings
could be destroyed and thus check
the progress of the flames, but it ar
rived too late. The station of the
Central of Georgia railway was
burned, with all its contents. The
telegraph office, two hotels, the post
Office, saloons, livery stable, practi-
cally all the stores and eight resi-
dences, together with numerous law
and other Offices were DESTROYED,
