The night watchman. Knappe, who was in the power plant at the time of flood of water washed down .upon it. barely escaped with his life and lost some of his clothing, and, it is ?aid, a sum of money in making his ?scape from the collapsing building. Alken was thrown into darkness by the disaster, but will be furnished current tonight from an auxiliary plant of the Carolina Light and Pow? er company. The destroyed plant was recently completed, and is said to have been one of the most complete in this part of the State. Its destruction is com? plete, as reported by those who went from Alken today to the scene. The main dam did not break, else the loss to the company would have been con? siderably heavier, but as it is the de? bris of the collapsed building covers a muss of broken and ruined machln \ ery.
