BUILDINGS
FOR RAILROAD
New Structures to Replace
Those Destroyed by Fire
Last Sunday

Through the carelessness of la
named Knapp, employed by the G. v.
G. & N. company, the round house, car
shops, and other company property was
destroyed by fire early Sunday morn
ing. Like the confiagration which
made the city of Chicago a barren
waste just twenty-five years ago this
month, the fire was caused by Ian
tern, but unlike that incidnet which
made Mrs. O'Leary famous, Knapp
was not milking a COW. He stuck his
lantern down in the tank OF engine No.
Ia to see if there was enough oil in it,
and then things began to happen. An
explosion blew Knapp from the tank
and scattered burning oil throughout
the round house. The innocent cause
of the fire managed to make his escape
with few cuts and bruises and some
slight burns.
The burning oil rapidly commune
Gated with the wo, sdwork on the build
ing and the tank car on the track next
to the engine. and five minutes after
the fire started the tank car exploded,
the dome of it being hurled through
the top of the building Four engines
were also badly damaged by the fire.
When the fire department arrived the
flames had secured hold on the car
shops and a string of freight cars, and
most of the efforts Of the department
were directed toward saving the cars
and adjoining company and residence
property. Excellent work was done
by the fire fighters and they succeeded
in saving thousands of dollars worth Of
property from the flames.
Four loaded box cars were partially
destroyed. One contained cases and
barrels of beer and naturally this car
was the first to be removed to place
of safety. A car of sugar billed to
Solomon & Wickersham was partially
consumed, although about fifty sacks of
the sweet stuff were saved. Two
thirds of the contents of another car
consisting of merchandise for various
local merchants was saved. Several

Sam Bokan Dies After Being
Entombed Over Three

But is Saved by Protecting Timbers-

Inquest

Two miners employed at the OF
Dominion mine were entombed in {
cavein early yesterday morning, and il
was almost three hours and half be-
fore they were dug out of the mass Of
rock and timbers which had fallen OF

worth, is in the Old Dominion hospital
suffering from severe but not fatal in.
juries. John Comerford, an old time
miner in Globe, was almost bur-
led in the cavein, but he escaped with
comparatively slight injuries.
Bokan was still conscious when extri-
Gated, despite the fact that he was sus-
pended in an almost perpendicular posi-
ton, head downward, for over three
hours. He realized that his injuries
were fatal. but he conversed with the
men for moment in which he babe
them goodbye, and gave them mes
sages for his relatives.
The accident occurred in stope be-
tween the second and third levels, in
block Is of the old part of the mine.
Four men were at work on, the floor of
the stopc, above the sill floor, when the
cavern occurred. The stope was
apparently well timbered with square
sets and was considered exceptionally
safe, but the ground in that locality is
very heavy and it seems to have
proven too much for the timbers.
Bokan. and Leslie Ellsworth
were caught in the falling masses of
rock and timbers and entombed, hut
Pruett and Comerford succeeded in
making their escape Bokan was
pitched head foremost and held in
a slanting position by the timbers and
rock, being entirely covered except his
face and right arm. But for this his
death would have been instantaneous.
Ellsworth's life was saved owing to
the fact that the timbers which con-
fined him kept off the weight of the
debris above him. His entire body
was badly bruised, but no bones
broken. DR.. Kennedy stated last
evening that his injuries would not
prove very serious.
Comerford had his left arm caught
between a ladder and falling timber.
His arm and hand were badly wrenched
and confused and he also suffered a
severe scalp wound and several small
cuts on the back of his head.
The victim of the sad accident was "a
years of age and member in good
standing of Globe Miners union. His
only relatives in Globe are two cousins,
who are also employed at the Old
Dominion. The funeral of Bokan will
be held tomorrow afternoon at 81
O'Clock from the undertaking parlors
of F. l. Jones & Son.

Mostly Democrats

The democratic candidates for county
Office who recently visited Rice and
San Carlos were greatly surprised at
the large number of voters in those
precincts. There were already sixty re-
gistered at Rice and twenty-five at
San Carlos at the time they were there
which was a week ago. What was
still more gratifying was the fact that
they were almost all democrats.

Death Of Lewis Morrison, the Actor
Charlotte Observer.

~DS~A
Lewis Morrison is dead. The an
nouncement carries regret to many
Southerners who have time and
again enjoyed with keen pleasure his
delightful Interpretation of Mephis-
topheles in ''Faust." 1t is rather
unusual, but true, with all the petty
iealousies and blighted ambitions of
the stage world, no Thespian has
ever attempted to rob this man of
his laurels, and in this respect he oc-
cupied a unique position. North and
South, East and West, he was prom
inently, indelibly identified with this
role. He made the sinuous, artful
devil as popular with the gallery
gods as the current hero of melo-
drama, and yet as classic and fin
ished from the artistic standpoint of
the first-night critic as the King
Richard of Booth or the Shylock of
Mansfield. Endowed with the physi-
cal attributes, and possessing the
voice, poise and manner that came
to him from long and devoted study
of the role, he perfected it until
Faust" without Morrison's Mephis-
topheles was as inane as would have
been Hamlet minus the melancholy
Dane. In the front rank of footlight
favorites. in private life he was avail
liant soldier, a good citizen, devo-
ted husband and father, a gentleman
of the old school. In his passing the
stage and his country have sustain
ed d bereavement.

Influence Of the Country Newspaper
Plymouth Beacon.

Plymouth Beacon.
In no activity has there been more
progress during the last 20 years
than that of the country newspaper.
There are now hundreds of cOuntrv
papers which in editorial ability, me-
chanical appearance. and all that
contributes to inspire respect and
command attention are fully abreast
OF their metropolitan contemporaries
in moral tone, and often in editorials
they surpass most of the great dali
les. In time past the country editor
was quite generally regarded with q
half plying contempt as good ma
tured but chicken hearted chronicler
OF inconsequental locals. All of this
has changed. Country newspapers
as class, WELD the highest influence
in the nation. The editors are men
of character and enterprise, doing
more for the community for less
money than any other body of work
erS.

Awarded Fourth Prize.
Paper of Mrs. RIP. Williams of New
Bern, Which was Awarded Third
Prize in the "Reason Contest" Of
the Home Telephone and Tele-
graph COMPANY.

Below we reproduce Mrs. R. P.
Williams "Reasons Why Every Res
idence Should Have A Telephone"
This paper was awarded First
Prize in the treason Contest" of the
Home Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany:
THE REASONS WHY EVERY RESIDENCE
SHOULD HAVE TELEPHONE
The residence is the home, the best that
his means enables the bread-winner to
maintain. While he is away, at the
Office, on the road or in distant city, it
is an untold comfort to be in direct COM
munication with the wife, and hear daily
of the welfare of the family.
The advantages to the housekeeper are
manifold. A Phone message speedily
brings the grocer's wagon, or the hurry
order to the market is rushed by the
bicycle messenger.
When the cook fails to come, or in
rainy weather, the service is invaluable.
In sudden illness, when dread and de-
spair grip the heartstrings, the Phone
that calls the Doctor, and brings relief is
a blessing.
To women living alone it is both COM
panion and protector, as it puts them in
communication with the whole city force
in an emergency.
A social promoter, the happenings OF
the community ''the daily round of lit
ties that large life compound" is freely
disseminated and family with family,
and adjacent townships are linked to
gether by common interests.
The benefits accruing to the rural
homes by the Telephone are incalculable.
Keeping informed of the daily quotations
make it possible to market the produce
when most advantageous. The rural Tel
ephone beats the rural mail carrier in cir
culating news, and in placing the farmer
in touch with current events before the
newspapers can reach him.
Another potent reason: Everybody
else has one, and failure to keep up with
the times reflects unfavorably on the
individual

Pardon for Ed Jones.

Gov. Glenn has pardoned Ed Jones,
negro, of Vance county, convicted at
the February Term, 1904, OF assault
with intent to commit rape, and SEN
fenced to 5 years in the States pris-
on. The alleged victim was a negro
woman and there was an element of
doubt of the negroes guilt. At the
time sentence was passed, the trial
Judge remarked he gave the minimum
sentence, but it was too much. Since
that time evidence sufficient to show
the innocence of Jones SO far as at
tempt to commit rape was concerned,
has accumulated and steps were
taken to procure a pardon. R. S. Nc
Coin was employed as attorney for
Jones and he has been successful in
his efforts to secure a release for his
client. Upon the evidence shown es-
tablishing the innocence Of the con-
victed man the trial Judge, solicitor,
county officials, as many of the jury
as could be seen, and leading citizens
signed the application for pardon. In
setting forth his reasons for granting
Il pardon to Ed. Jones Gov. Glenn
says:
New testimony leaves doubt Of prison
er's guilt. A pardon conditioned on his
being of good behavior is therefore
granted.
