BIG WALL BLOWN DOWN
Watchman Mathis Hurt by the Flying Bricks.
The Camden Lighting and Heating Company is building a big boiler house, 116 by 38 feet in size, near its new power plant, on Cooper's Creek, Camden. The west wall, 116 feet in length had been built up to the height of three and a half stories without side support. There was a sudden gust of wind about four o'clock yesterday morning that toppled over the high wall.
John Mathis, the watchman, of 738 Division street, Camden, was cut by the flying bricks but not seriously injured. Philips Anns is the contractor for the building but it is said that he had sub-let the brick work contract to Daniel Quicksall.
