Frank Hawkin’s Awful Fate.

A dreadful fate overtook Frank Hawkins a former well know young man of our town las; Saimday afternoon. He * Was working for the American Tin Plate Works, at Anderson, anc went inside a steam boiler to make some repairs and while in there, by some terrible blunder, the steam was turned into the boiler and the unfortunate young man was soalded to death. He was not quite dead when taken out, but died before a physioian could ar-

rive. He was a most worthy young man about about 26 years old and had served out two terms of enlistment in the U. S. army. An e3peoially sad feature of his death was that he was married to a young lady of Anderson only three days before his desth. His o'der brother Vermont Hawkins also lives at Anderson and is a son-in-law of A L. Willis, of our oity, and to whom the faots of the aooident were oommunioated by telephone.
