LARGE pFRRIcK FALLs.
Much Excitement This Morning at Front
and Poplar Streets.


The breaking of a guy line, which sup
ported one OF the derricks owned by
RYAN & Kelly, az Front and Poplar
streets. this morning, caused tho derrick
20 fall over on its side on Front street.
The derrick fell with q crash. steam
pipes were broken of the hoisting engine
and steam washed the earth out from be-
tween the Belgian blocks and covered the
front of the Remington offices and two
adjoining houses with water and earth
until the steam was exhausted William
Harris. colored, of 605h Iatnall street,
who was in charge of the engine, jumped
and landed in an excavation stroining the
muscles of the right leg and hip.
Much excitement was occasioned and
reports were current that a man was
buried, but after the steam had cleared
awav ID was found that nobody, Other
than the engineer. had been injured.
Harris stated that one of the guy lines
which had been run between the derrick
and pole inside of the retaining wall
had become uniastened and the boon
was heavily laden and was turned oui
toward the opposite side Of the street
which caused the frame work, with th'
boiler and engine, TO topple over.
As soon as possible after the accident
the fire in the boiler was drawn and The
hose turned on the hot Goals. The street
was blocked for some time, because OF
the top of the crane lying directly across
