Neuro Laborers in cave.In.

While digging a trench at the water
works pumping station, at Goose
creek, near Charleston, nine negro Ia
borers were buried alive by the cav
ing in of an embanKment. One, Geo.
Moultrie, was killed outright, while
the others were extricated from the
mass of earth. Several of the negroes
are seriously injured.
The accident occurred late in the

work. They had been dong trench
work all day long preparatory to
building a sluice, when suddenly the
embankment above them gave way
and nine of the men were caught un-
der the falling earth. A force OF hands
were put to work and all were taken
out alive except George Moultrie.

Charleston Stores Burned.

The furniture stores OF A. Brook
banks and Thomas Reedy, at Charles
ton, were almost completely wiped
out by fire a few days ago. The loss
is about $4,000 and is partially COW
cred by insurance.
The fire originated in the third story
of the Brookbanks building on King
street and the flames soon spread to
the adjoining building, occupied by
Thomas Reedy, an installment furni-
ture dealer. Brookbanks' loss is about
$4,000, while the loss sustained by
Reedy is only about $1,000. The latter
carried no insurance The origin Of
the fire is not known, but it is sup
posed to have been set on fire.

over TWO Hundred HomIcides.
The annual report of Attorney Gen.
eral Gunter shows mat there were
222 cases of manslaughter reported to
his Office during the year 1903. The
record is appalling, and it is possible
that there are some homicides which
were not reported by the clerks Of
court.
Mr.. Gunter has been examining the
records Of other states and finds that
South Carolina shows up badly.
Only ninety-one homicides were re.
ported in North Carolina last year,
and that number was thought to be a
fearful record Tor the adjoining state.
