as Outcome of Accident.
At St. Paul, Mimi, on Saturday,
an explosion of gasoline, followed
by a destructive ire in four-story
building is known to have caused
the death of five persons and the in
jury of six others.
The police believe the bodies of
four others are still in the ruins.
A search for bodies was continued
late Saturday night. A large guam
tity of charred timbers and bricks
must be removed before 1t can be
determined whether more of them
are in the debris. The dead:
Rosa Bousaka, years old,
Mrs. Gagon, so years old.
A child supposed TO be Clifford
Gamble, 3 years old.
Two unidentified men.
1t is reported that Mrs. Gamble,
the mother of Clifford Gamble, a
supposed victim, is among those
buried beneath tine timberfs. Ar
mold Kuhla, president of the, Kub,o
Manufacturing Company, and a
young man named McCauley are
also thought to be among those
buried.
1t was gasoline machine invented
by Kublo for filling tanks OF auto
mobiles that caused the explosion.

floor when people in the neighbor-
hood were brought to their windows
by deafening roar. The explosion
blew the building to fragments in
an instant, broke windows across
the street and set fire to and badly
damaged the central police station
and another adjoining building.
Passers-by had narrow escapes.
On the top floor Of the wrecked
building lived Mrs. Horan,i police
matron, her adult daughter and two
children. Mrs. Horan escaped with
slight injuries, but the daughter and
one child are as yet unaccounted for.
The property damage is small. the
building destroyed being of little

NJ: xican Earthquake and CoRdi-
tionS Are Awful.
A SMALL TIDAL WAVE
The Water Receded Thirty-Three
Feet and Then Rushed Back With
Great Force, Submerging Docks
and Piers = The Earthquake
Shocks Continue.

kilograms from the City of Mexi-
co say that details which are be-
ginning to arrive from the State OF
Guerrero, show that the recent Sc
ries of earthquakes in the valley OF
Mexico and along the Pacific coast
were the worst experienced in years.
1t is now certain that the towns
of Acapulco and Chilpancingo have
been practically destroyed. What
the earthquake of Friday failed to
do was accomplished by the strong
er one of Saturday, which either
levelled or rendered uninhabitable
every building in these places.
In addition to the ruin caused by
the earthquake, Acapulco now faces
a famine. All of the markets were
destroyed in the shocks Of Satur-
day and the country people are
afraid to bring more produce into
the town. The people are camping
in the public squares.
The few buildings that remain
standing are being levelled by dy-
Mantle, as they are little more than
tottering walls that are constantly
falling as new shocks come.
During the heavy shock yesterday
the water in the harbor receded a
distance of thirty-three feet and
then rushed back, covering the docks
and piers.
The people are suffering consid-
erably, not only for want of food,
but because Of their exposed posi-
tions. The tents in the public
squares and streets do not serve to
keep off the heavy rains which fall
at this season. Funds are being
raised in Mexico City to relieve the
distresied of Guerrero.
In Mexico City the shock of Sat-
urday was heavier than any yet ey-
perienced. AS the work Of examina-
tion continues, more and more evi-
dence of damage is found, though
so far as known, no lives were lost
in the last agitation. Many tourists
who were stopping at the local ho-
tells are leaving for the United
States.
A second telegram from Acapul-
co states that the quakes continued
all of Saturday night and through
out the greater part Of the day No
building or dwelling house of any
kind is inhabitable. The city au-
thorities are conducting affairs in a
temporary shelter under a tree in the
main plaza
They have telegraphed to Presi-
dent Diaz for federal assistance ana
asked that gun boats with supplies,
bedding and medicine be sent as soon
as possible. The message says that
tents and food are Immediately need
ed to prevent great suffering.

A dispatch from Chester to The
News and Courier says j. E. San
ders. a merchant on Gadsden street,
who is ordinarily sober and quiet,
while crazed with liquor, tried to
shoot the wife of neighbor, and
was on the point Of committing other
misdemeanors when taken in charge
by the police. He was conveyed to
the lookup, but when he reached
there was in such condition as
to make it unsafe for him to be kept
in that place of confinement through
the night. He was carried home,
where he soon recovered, and got
on his war path again. He was sub
dued, however, without further seri-
Gus results. No doubt Sanders had
tanked up an blind tiger loaded
with cocaine as no whiskey is sold
legally in Chester county.

SUMMER HOTEL BURNED.
Hundreds of Vivistors Flee From the
Building.

A night watchman's prompt work
in sounding the fire alarm enabled
the hundred guests Of Hotel Tybee,
a summer resort on Tybee Island,
to escape safely from the structure
when it burned before daylight Sat-
urday The fire consumed the main
building with a loss of S65,
about half OF which was covered by
insurance.
When the fire brok out the hotC!

the baggage OF many of the guests
was looted, Il nuluDer complaining

Messrs. Stubbs and Keen, proprl-
etors Of the hotel, state they will
rebuild at once. Their loss is es-

A WHITE FIEND
Assaults a White Girl in Lancaster
County.

It is reported that young lady
living in the Van Wyck section OF
Lancaster county was crimlnally as
saulted Friday by prominent young
man of WaXhaw, n. c., who has
since left the country for parts un-
known. 1t is said that the young
lady was so overcome with humilia-
ton that she attempted to commit
suicide by taking carbolic acid, and
that it was with great difficulty that
her life was saved by physicians.
We hope that prominent young fiend
will be caught and that his neck be
cracked as soon as he could be
tried.

CAUGHT BY TRAIN
AND CRUSHED TO DEATH ON
TRACK NEAR NEWBERRY.
Charlie Williams and Ernest Bouk-
night, Two Young White Men
Killed Instantly by Train.

Charlie Williams and Ernest
.3ouknight, two young white men,
we're struck and killed by the Co.
lumbia, Newberry and Laurens pas
senger train, No. SO, bound from
Laurens to Columbia, about three
hundred yards above the passenger
depot in Newberry, shortly after 3
o'clock Sunday afternoon, both be-
ing horribly mangled. The former
was killed instantly and the latter
lived but short while.
The tragedy occurred just few
yards below the crossing at Cline's
shop, Immediately in front Of the
residence of Mr.. NJ. M. Satterwhite.
The Southern and Columbia, New
berry and Laurens roads are paral-
lei and very close together at this
point. The young men were walk
ing down the Southern track from
Helena to Newberry, when they saw
Southern Passenger No. II, from:
Columbia to Greenville, which had
just passed Newberry, approaching.
They stepped off the Southern track
on to the Columbia, Newberry and
Laurens track, with the intention of
continuing their walk to Newberry,
which placed their backs towards the
approaching Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens passenger. They had
taken but a few steps when they
were struck. The dead body of
Williams and Young Bouknignr,
with barely the breath of life in
him, were brought to Newberry and
placed in Undertaken Baxter's par
lors. Bouknight died shortly after.
The two young men were EN-
rIoyees Of the Newl erry Co:,nn
Mills, and bore very excellent repu-
tations in the community. The
former homes of both we're a,
Chaplin, where their bodies we're
taken for interment on the train.
Mr.. Williams was a son of Mr.. C.
P. Williams. He was about twenty
one years old, and was a member of
the Red Men and Of the Pocahontas.
An escort of Red Men accompanied
his remains to Chaplin. Young
Bouknight was son of Mr.. E. B.
Bouknight, and was about seventeen
years of age.
~, Both young men had just begun
their summer vacation of two weeks.
When the tragedy occurred, the
Southern train, out of the way of
which the young men had stepped
across to the other track, had just
passed the crossing.
At about this point negro who
had not purchased a ticket jumped
off the train. After reaching Hele-
ma, the Southern passenger, the con-
ductor having learned Of the tragedy
from passengers on the rear of the
train, and thinking possibly the pas
senger who had jumped off the
Southern train had been injured,
backed in to Newberry..
Some months ago negro was
killed in almost exactly the same
spot, and in the same manner, hav-
ing stepped off the Southern track
to avoid an approaching train and
stepped on to the other track to
be struck and killed.

According to observatory records,
the first shock was at 4:15 Frilsy
morning. the oscillation being from
east to southwest. 1t was severe,
causing the bells Of many cathedrals
in Mexico City to toll, breaking
crockery and in some instances lev
cling walls. The inhabitants of the
capital had hardly recovered from
the fright OF, the quake when a sec.
ond and more severe shock caused
an outpouring of nearly all the res
idents to the streets and open pi-
azzas.
This movement was of a twisting
character, and lasted with severity
for ninety seconds. Tall buildings
swayed and in some instances crack
ed, the pavement opened in places
and in the poorer quarters number
of houses collapsed.
So far as can be learned, six lost
their lives in Mexico City and envi-
rons in thds second shock. Two
were men of the lower class, the
others being three women and a
child. Four now in hospitals can
not recover, 1t, is said.
After the second shock no one ven-
tured indoors again until daybreak.

ed unscathed. They, with the entire
native population, remained in the
piazzas or squares until daylight
gave them courage to enter their
dwellings.
