EIGHT INJURED
IN GOTHAM FIRE
GOOD WORK OF THE FlREMEN
PROBABLY PREVENTED MANY
TRAGEDIES.
Explosion of Gasoline Demoiishes a
Big Auto and Others Being Pre-
pared for Vanderbilt Race Co up ia
Snoke-One Probably Dead.

New York. Sept. 24.-Eight peo-
pie We're injured, two perhaps fatally,
in an early morning fire, which de-
strOyed 100000 worth of automo-
biles at a garage here.
Most of the cars We're the property
of wealthy people, and they were be-
ing oyernauled for use during the
Vanderbilt cup race next week.
One of the garage employees. a for
eigner, is missing, and it is believed
that he was burned to death.
Fire originated from the explosion
of gasoline tank in a big car
Brought in for repairs. The explo-
sion demolished the car and ignited
the oil-soaked floor and almost i'm
mediately the whole building was en-
yeloped in flames.
Employees of the garage were
asleep on the upper floor, and before
they could be awakened escape by
way of the stairways was made i'm
possible. But for the quick response
of the firemen, who carried the
stricken occupants down on ladders,
they would have died in the flames.
Among the injured were two fire
men. One suffered from a broken
hack and another from fractured
skull, received in falling from lad
ders while rescuing occupants of the
building.

A MOTOR BOAT
PLANT BURNED
FIRE LAST NIGHT DESTROYED
THE PLANT OF ARMSTRONG
fl AND lUCREE.
For Time it Was Feared that Near
5y Wharf and Several Small Boats
Would be Burned, But the Flames
Were Checked.

Fire last night shortly before 7
O'Clock completely destroyed sne mo-
tor boat plant of Armstrong L Lu-
cree, located Just beyond tie plant
Of tie Standard Oil company ana for
q time the Aiken wharves, just north
of the plant, as well as cretal motor
boats moored at AMI arounl the
plan, were in danger, pat lie fire
men succeeded in eXt.ngu,sning the
tames fefOre they col' spread 10
che nearby wharf, while iii of the
boats were cut from then moorirss
None of them were damaged by the
fire.
1t is not known how the fire orlgi-
mated, though it is supposed that it
was caused by spark from a pass
ing railroad engine, the plant being
only short distance from the track.
An alarm was sounded as soon as
the blaze was discovered, and the
department responded promptly, but
owing to the distance of the plant
had gained good headway before the
arrival of the department, and prac-
tically all of the plant was in flames
when the fire fighters arrived.
The fire started in the workshop
and quickly spread to other portions
of the plant. The little launch Lou
Use. owned by J. S. M. Symons, was
on the marine railway, but when the
rope connecting the railway caught
on fire it gave way and the little
launch went shooting down and land
ed safely across the river without
beig damaged.
There were several other little
iboats tied at the various wharves
around the plant, but not a one of
them were burned.
The loss is not yet known, but it
is estimated to be in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 and is partly covered
by insurance

NEGROES FIGHT
A PISTOL DUEL
MN&st. -
ONE WAS PROBABLY FATALLY
INJURED AND THE OTHER
ESCAPED.
Isaac Collins and Jim Ferguson
Meet out on Albany street-Fergu-
son Opens Fire on Collins, lnflict-
ing Three Wounds.

AS tie result of a pistol duel last
night about 10 o'clock between Jtm
Ferguson and Isaacs Collins both well
known local negroes, the latter re-
ceived three serious wounds, which,
may prove fatal, while Ferguson, who
seems to have started the fight, made
his escape after wounding the other
! negro.
Just what led up to the duel be-
tween the two negroes is not known,
but it seems that they had had a pre-
vious fight few nights ago, when
Ferguson drew knife and made sew
eral swipes at the other negro. The
case was reported to the police and
the officers have been keeping a
watchout for Ferguson since that
time.
Last night, according to the facts
secured in the case, just as Collins
was entering his gate on Albany St,
between Gloucester and F. Ferguson
appeared on the scene, and. without
a word of warning, opened fire on
the other negro. Witnesses say that
after Collins had been wounded he
drew a revolver and fired twice at
Ferguson. but both the bullets went
wide of their mark.
Ferguson fired five times and three
of the shots struck Collins. One
entered his breast. another penetrat-
ed his neck, while the third hit him
on the arm. tlysicians were imrne-
diately summoned and the injured
negro was still alive at a late hour
last night. though it is believed the
wounds will prove fatal.
After the shooting Ferguson darted
through a dark vacant lot and sue
ceeded in making his escape.

MRS. DU BIGN0N
DIES SUDDENLY
ESTIMABLE WOMAN PASSED
AWAY YEsTERoAY-coMMU-
NIFTY IN GRIEF.

Brunswick was deeply shocked yes
terday at the sad news of the death
of Mrs. J. E. du Bignon, which occur
red shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, after brief illness. TO
her family and to those who knew
.-er. II seemed calamity impossible
to realize, especially as her illness
was of but a few days duration and
was not regarded as at all alarming
up almost to the moment of her
death, but heart complications be-
came evident and she sank rapidly
and was dead before those about her
fully realized that she was dying.
Her husf and was at her bedside, but
their only child. Mrs. Jennings Butts,
was away at Mount Airy. this fact
rendering her sudden death doubly
sad. Mrs. Butts was telegraphed for
iemediately and will reach. the city
this morning.
In the death of this lovely woman
Brunswick sustains a severe loss,
for hers was a personality as rare
as it was exquisite, and the ineffable
beauty of her character and the
cnarm of her delightful grace and
splendid intellect nave been strong
influences in the circles that have
mind, she was leader in intellectual
circles and her pen had won recogni-
tion and success in the literary world,
her POEMS having appeared in many
of the more prominent magazines,
among them The Outlook, Lippin-
colts, Harper's and other publca-
tions. Combined with her superior
mental gifts were the womanly graces
of charity and kindliness5 devotion
to her church and the tenderest love
for suffering hum"nity, and even for
the poor dumb brutes her tender
heart had infinite compassion and
she struggled courageously for years
70 keep alive a society that would
prevent cruelty to the animals whose
sufferings and helplessness SO strong
ly appealed to her.
In her church work she was untir-
ing and in all work that tended to
better the world. She was ever fore
most, giving help out of all proper
ton to her strength. For many
years she has been a director of the
Brunswick library and was unfalter-
ing in her support of that institu-
ton.
AS Miss Fannie Schlatter, the de-
ceased was a belle and beauty, her
beauty having won her the name of
being one of the lovliest women of
the south She was 81 years of age
at the time of her death, and had
lived IN Brunswick practically all
of her life. Her death leaves a sad
void in her family and in the wide
circle of friends that knew and loved
her. Her bright and gracious pres
ence is no more, but the essence of
her womanly charm and her beautiful
unselfish life that spent itself in the
service of it's loved ones, and in
deeds that wrought benediction on
mankind, lives after her. Her Faith
and good works" shine forth to bless
and comfort those who mourn her un-
timely death. To the heartbroken
husband and daughter, the warm
sympathy of hundreds of friends
goes out in fullest measure and with
their sorrow is mingled that of all
who knew and loved this noble and
lOvable woman.
The funeral will occur tomorrow,
the arrangements not having been
completed last night.
