factory of ID. F'riedlander, 1114-112O
Bodine street, which was destroyed by
fire last night 1t is thought the num-
Der of firemen and policemen killed
by falling walls is under twenty.
John C. Baxter. chief of the fire de-
partment who had narrow escape
from death said at a. m, that his
reports showed that from eleven to
fourteen firemen lost their lives. He
says, however that his reports are
not complete.
Supt of Police John Taylor believes
the number of dead will reach twenty.
Up to 8 q. m. twelve bodies had been
taken from the ruins. The difficulty
In determining the number OF men
killed is due to the fact that when
the catastrophe occurred general
alarm was sent in for ambulances and
police patrol wagons and the injured
and dead were taken to widely scat
tered hospitals and other places.
The F'riedlander factory was a five
story building on the west side of Bo-
dine street and ran west, the rear ex-
tending to the east side of Third street.
The building has been completely burn
ed out and the fire confined to within
four walls when the disaster occurred.
Fireman GLACIER, who was pinned
under the debris. was rescued at IL 80,
l. a
heavy timbers for thirteen hours. He
was unconscious and was rushed to a
hospital
There the doctors said he could not
live, as both legs are broken, he is In
jured internally and there are con-
tusions all over his body. The police
at this hour said that thirteen were
known to be dead.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 22.-Fire Marshal
James Koran, head of the Chicago fire
department, and between twenty-five
and thirty of his firemen were killed
and forty others were injured today in
fire which at az early hour caused
$150O,000 damage and at 1000 a. m.
still threatened the whole of Chicagos
great stock yards.
A wooden canopy Tell from the beef
house of Morris & Co, where the fire
started, carrying with it tons of red
hot bricks and debris upon two COM
panles OF firemen and the chief crush
ing them to death and encasing their
bodies in veritable furnace into
which their comrades were unable to
dig for several hours, so that practi-
cally all those who were not killed out
right when the walls fell were roasted
to- death before help could come to
them.
Assistant Chief William Burroughs
and others were with the marshal un-
der the fatal canopy when it fell and
went down to their death with Mar

OF the disaster which met their chief,
for brief time deserted other parts
of the blazing structure, and rushing to
the pyre sought with their bare hands
to drag apart the glowing bricks and
debris to bring the body of their chief
and his i'll fated comrades TO what
safety remained for them. Finding this
effort vain, they obeyed again the d.
rection of Assistant Marshal Seiferlich
and redoubled their efforts to shut in
the spreading area of destruction.
Responds to General Alarm,
A general alarm brought Marshal
Koran from his home on west side of
the city and as soon as he reached
the scene he took up the task of d.
recting the men. With Battalion Chief
Burroughs he led a line of pipemen
and truckmen, to the east entrance of
the building and the battle against
the flames was taken up from beneath
heavy long wooden canopy which
hung menacingly above them.

and overshadowing object of the asso-
citation. Apart from the papers con
tributed, this action by the house of
delegates is the most important of
the present session and its unanimous
passage discloses the pervading senti-
ment of the doctors that they be not
diverted from the serious aims of the
profession at these gatherings.
Let me recall, before leaving this
subject. some Of the physicians of
Laurcns, who were living and active
in 1890. DR.. John A. Barksdale had
retired after long and successful
practice but he was an active business
mana banker-and participated in
the sessions. DR.. Thomas Mccoy, a
fine old soldier doctor, was the dean of
the profession here. DR. j. Patillo
Simpson, one Of the very noblest
physicians that the Piedmont country
has known, was at the beginning of
his great work i'm Laurens Nine
years later, in the flower of his useful
ness, he was cut oT--from disease
doubtless brought on by -sacrific-
ing devotion to his duties. lie was
only about 80, had served in the Con
federate army as n boy soldie.' and
been wounded. studied medicine after
the war and was one of the most be-
loved men who have ever lived in
Laurens. Another especially notable
figure was DR.. John Smith, Country
physician" peg leg" men lovingly
called him as he had lost leg in the
Confederate service. Few finer patriots
have lived in this county and hun
dreds of poor families owe an ever
lasting debt to him. He died some
years ago

Cooperation Essential.


Mr. Duke says there is no trouble
about the finances, but that he would
not undertake an enterprise like this
without the cooperation Of the peo-
pie along the line. He wants the cot
ton mills to subscribe to the stock
in order that they would be interest
ed in giving the freight to the new
electric line, and also to use it for
passenger service. At the Southern
Power company development was un-
dertaken by these gentlemen in the
most comprehensive way, so if this
road is built it is to be made much
more than the ordinary interurban
trolley to do local passenger business.
The idea is to handle the heavy
freight at night. between 10:30 and
Z o'clock in the morning. This would
put to use the power plants of the
Southern Power company at times
when they are little used at present.
The plan upon which Mr.. Duke has
suggested this enterprise be inaugu-
rated is that half of the stock be COW
cred by bonds. then he wishes to di-
vide the remaining half which Is to
be common stock in two parts, he and
his friends in the North taking halt
of 1t and the cotton mills and other
factory interests along the line taking
the other half. Thus the investment
proposed for the manufacturing inter
ests is on basis of one-quarter OF
the total cost

The meeting was held at 9:15 o'clock.
After transacting the routine bust
ness before the meeting delegation
was received from Abbeville headed
by ex-senator T. b. Gary, Mr.. Wade
III. Cothran, Mr. w. L. Greene and
others, who urged on the board the
ban lines to Abbeville.
Later a delegation Of sixty people
from Laurens, Clinton. Fountain Inn,
Simpsonville and other points along
the Charleston and Western Carolina
Railway between here and Clinton
was received by the board.
They told the directors Of the ad-
vantages to be derived by putting the
lines through that part of the coun-
try, tapping the Seaboard Air Line
railway.
After receiving the different COM
mttees the board of directors de-
cided to survey line to Abbeville
and Greenwood and very likely will
order survey to Laurens and Clin-
ton. The line to Laurens and Clinton
was surveyed a few months ago by
Engineer Shrine and these papers and
his report are in possession of the
board now.

TEN of the electric railway may be

tions of the Southern Power Company
people and of the various interests

ham, n. c. Mr.. James b. Duke has
formulated plans for an electric rail
way passing through the cotton man
ufacturing territory, which is already
covered by the Southern Power com
pany's transmission lines. He states
that he is perfectly willing to under
take to handle company of five to
eight million dollars to build a sys-
TEN of electric railways to handle
both passenger and freight. and to
furnish very quick service competing
in speed with the steam railways and
with cars running frequently enough
to make the service all that could be
desired. He speaks of running a car
service thirty to forty-fve minutes
apart
