When the fire was discovered II was
known that the rooms upstairs were
occupied by Mrs. E. D. Golnick, her
daughter and her son, Mr.. J. P. Moody,
an invalid. Mr.. Stubs and a colored
man dashed for the stairs and picked
up Mr.. Moody, who had heard the ex-
plosion and aroused the other occu-
pants and then attempted to come down
stairs alone and fallen. He was taken
across the street to the bakery and this
morning was all right and able to come
out.
Mrs. Golnick and her daughter, after
being awakened. had to jump out Of a

EXPLOSION IN COLUMBIA.
Fortunate Escape of Tenants of a
Burned Building.

A special to the Charleston News
and Courier from Columbia says:
two-story brick building on Main
street, about a half block below the
Capitol, the property of the estate of
George w. Williams of Charleston,
was destroyed this morning, about 2:3O
o'clock. The fire was discovered by w.
II. Staubes, a baker, employed by
Charles F. Hoefer, Jr., who had been
awakened by a terrific explosion. PEG,
pie all around the block and at greater
distances were aroused by the noise
and the wonder is that those living on
the second floor were not killed or
thrown into the blaze on the lower
floor. There was a large oil tank in
the store and the fire had likely been
burning on the floor for some time,
and the tank, having become heated,
as soon as the flames touched It II ex-
ploded with a deafening noise.
The store was kept by L. NJ. RaEin
and his stock was totally destroyed,

Harry and the Burglars.
One night-it was New Years Eve,
to be exact-Harry Mum was awak-
ened by noise and he saw a light in
the spare room.
Now it was in the spare room closet
that his mother kept all her silver and
they had a good deal of it, because
Mr.. Mum had a habit of bringing
home something made of silver when
ever he returned from a business trip.
Harry's room was on the opposite
side of the hall and he could see what
was happening without lifting his
head from the pillow. In less than a
minute he saw soft footed burglars
helping themselves without pertnis-
sion to the silver.
At first the boy thought he would
alarm the houes and then he thought
of more interesting plan than that.
He had brought his brass lamp in from
the barn in order to use it the first
thing in the morning. The fact is he
had intended giving his parents a New
Years gift of a bag of gold as soon
as 1t was light; and the lamp that

before, but nothing of the kind hap

brass lamp of no value beyond it's
worth as brass.
The burglars kept on helping them
selves to whatever they wanted, fill
ing two suits cases with their plumber
and proceeding in very leisurely way
as If they thought that such a thing
as a persons waking up when burg
lars were around was not to be
thought of.
Harry half rose from his bed and
then dropped back again. Why should
he alarm the house? His father would
be sure to come out with a pistol
and he might be hurt by one of the
burglars before he had a chance to
shoot.
But why did not the lamp work
Harry rubbed it more vigorously and
then the striking of the fast parlor

WORK SUSPENDED.
Beaufort Phosphate Company Holds
UD Operations


Beaufort, S. c., Jan. 24.-In conse-
quence of the total destruction of the
dredge, insolvency and washboat, in
volving a total loss of $4,000 to the
Beaufort Phosphate Company, it was
decided to indefinitely suspend opera
tons at the works yesterday afternoon.
The plant is located about four and a
half miles from here, and two miles
from Port Royal. The suspension
throws forty-eight men out of employ
ment, thirty of whom were employed at
the works and eighteen on the dredges.
Seven large sheds are filled with rock
at the works. and it is probable that
work will not be resumed until the
greater portion of this supply has been
shipped, or the company determines to
buy a dredge to take the place of the
McSweeney. The other dredge has been
ordered to return to the works.

MAKING PREPARATIONS TO
LAUNCH NEW DEFENDER

BRISTOL, r. l., April 11.-Final
preparations were made today to
launch the new cup defender, Reli-
ance. Her initial plunge is scheduled
to take place at $50 this afternoon.
The weather conditions were ideal
and the day was made gala one
here. Moored off the end of the dock,
the tender of the Reliance, the steam
er Sunbeam, was fancifully decorat-
ed with flags c. Oliver Iselin. the
managing owner of the Reliance,
spent the day ON the Sunbeam and re-
ceived large number OF invited
guests. Many yachtsmen have come
from New YORK to witness the launch
ing. Although cne boat was still some
what hidden by the staging it could
be seen that the Reliance was more
of skimming dish than any boat
that the Herreshoffs have constructed
for a defender. Her floor is very flat
and there is scarcely any bilge, her
stern running well under and not
deepening into the keel for many feet.
The rudder post has decided rake
ad the fin is very thin. The boat has
considerable beam and looks as If
she would be decided contrast to
the Constitution when aflOat.

of trade today. and as result of the
bull leaders endeavor to secure a
better control of the situation, the
price of May delivery dropped three
cents, while July declined 11a cents.
The market opened with every indi-
cation that the bull campaign which
had been in progress the past few
days was still in full swing. With the
market in such a favorable condition
the bull leader declined to get rid
of some of his holdings and began to
sell both May and July options. The
change in tactics caught many trad
ers unawares and there was rush to
cline, the price going down
by jumps until May had reach
ed 74as and July 69B. The
amount Of wheat sold by the Armour
interests was conservatively estimat-
ed at 100000 bushels, large part of
which was for July delivery. Before
the end of the first hour the trading
became more quiet and prices rallied
somewhat.

THE MILL MATTER

The executive committee of the
board of trade adjourned yesterday af
ternoon without making complete
disposition of the reduction plant To-
cation matter. However, the question
has practically settled, and in the
manner that will meet the approval
of the citizens of Las Vegas. The site
near Beldens dairy, recommended by
the special committee, was agreed
upon by the executive committee and
the promoters of the mill. The latter
are willing to post a forfeit to have
the mill in operation in a comparative
ly short time. The only points remain
ing unsettled have to do with the cost
and character of the building to be
constructed. The matter was deferred
until specifications and plans could
be submitted at meeting of the com
mittee to be called by the president at
an early date. Everybody wants the
mill and there is little or no doubt
but all arrangements will be made
satisfactory. The liberal offer made
by the executive committee is two
lots and $500 for the building.
