Special to the Evening Review.
MANCHESTER, linglnnd, Dec. 21.
Two hundred and eighty-nine out
or three hundred miners In the Little
Hulton Company's coal mine near
Leigh are believed to have been killed
in an explosion, followed by fire, this
morning. Only 11 men were res
cued. All the others were trapped.
The explosion was terrific Fire live
monutes afterward, shooting out o"
the main entrance, drove back the
rescuers. After the flames in the
main shaft had subsided a smnll par
ty entered a short distance and re
covered 20 bodies, but couldn't go
further. Among the dead are many
boys, who were employed as loaders
and helpers. A survivor taken fioin
the mine this afternoon, was unable
to account for the explosion.
Two Killed, 10 Injured.
CINCINNATI. O., Dec. 21. A fire
man and a boy spectator were killed
and ten firemen were severely hurt

damage. The fire broke out early in
the Krippendorf Shoe Company's
factory and- spread rapidly to the
Taylor-Poole Leather Company's fac
tory, destroying it and duninging
eight other factories before subdued.
The wall of the Krippendorf building
fell squarely on 15 firemen.

Engineers Near n Strike.
CHICAGO, Dec 21. Whether the
locomotive engineers will strike on
fil Western railroads will be decided
within 24 hours, according to Presi
dent Stone today. He said: "We
won't tolerate further delay. There
must be' short, sharp, decisive ac
tion." Commissioner Neill, who has
been trying to nrbltrate the differ
ences, had a conference with the
railroad managers, and holds one
this afternoon with the employes.
Indications are that they are not
near any settlement.
Arbitration Declined.

me Liuie
conioilve engineers, st ruined for sev
eral days, has reached a critical stage
aad a strike of gigantic proportions
l onm as a strong possibility.
Following a conference between
t;,e engineers and Labor Commls
s'oner Neill, the latter practically
admitted mediation had failed.
Neither side would yield a point.
After the conference, Warreu S.
S.one, grand chier of the engineers,
telegraphed his advisory board to
come at once.
Arbitration will be offered by the
railroads as a last resort, but the
engineers will not arbitrate the en
tire question of wages and conditions.
The railroads have already of
fered an increase of 9 Ms per cent, but
the men demand approximately 15
per cent.
If the managers' offer stands and
arbitration as to a further increase is
agreed to. the proposition would
probably be accepted by the engin
eers, but to this the managers will
not agree.. They want to submit the
whole question to an arbitration
board, arguing that they have offered
more than was awarded the firemen
through arbitration.
Stone's summons to his advisory
hoard Is regarded as the most war
like move yet made and shows he is
preparing to strike.
The board comprises the officials
who, with Grand Chief Stone, would
have authority to order a strike.
Against the strike proposition is
the well-known conservatism of the
engineers nnd the position of the lo
"omotive firemen, who are working
under a written agreement with the
roads. There is said to be a fireman
ready to take the place of each en
gineer who quits, the feeling be
tween the two organizations being
uiything but friendly.
When the firemen struck a few
veers ago on the Southern Pacific,
the engineers not only remained at
work, but they instructed new men
n Hie work of handling the oil-
burning engines.
The firemen are said to be anxious
to get even. If the engineers go out.
it is said, the managers will have
little diffieultv finding firemen capa
ble of running engines, anxious to
do it. too, at the wages offered the
engineers.

PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 21. Mrs
Carrie Kersh is guilty of manslaugh
ter. This was the verdict reached last
niirlit by 12 men. 11 of whom bat
tled for nearly three days to con
vince a lone confrere ihnt the woman
was not innocent of the murder of
William A. Johnson nt the Sew
Crand Central lintel last June, but
instead conspired with .lesso Webb
to kill her companion, ram the body
In a trunk nnd depart from Portland
to spend the crime earned loot.
For nearly 72 hours one Juror held
out for acquittal. Then the 11. who
would hang 'the woman, changed
their ballot and found her guilty of
manslaughter and the stubborn Juror
yielded.
Webb Is under sentence to be
hanged, execution of the sentence
being delayed that he might testify
in the Kersh trial.

AN INVIONTOlt.
Alex Ftournoy. a well-remembered
Rose burg resident of 15 years ago. I
is gaining considerable note as an
inventor, according to the following
article In a recent Issue of the
Healdsburg (Cal.J Tribune:
That Alex. Flonrnoy is a genius as
well as n gentleman and a good fel
low must be readily apparent to any
one who has been reading the press
of late, Tor his name has been promi
nent among those who Invent, his
buggest thing being n puncture proof
tire wheel. This wheel Is far difter-
;eut than any other which has been so
far brought out, nnd when placed on
the market will doubtless revolution
ize the auto tire Industry, as rubber
goods (for autos) will quickly pass
out of date. He Is having these
wheels manufactured now and will
soon have some full sized models
brought to Healdsburg for trying out
on the roads hereabouts, both valley
ind mountain.
However, his latest is a new fangled
screw, which he says will make radi
cal changes In that Industry. This
new screw of his In the Bume old
kind of a wood scrfw, with the ad
dition of n barb near the head, the
barb preventing the screw from ever
pulling loose until the wood holding
It has rotted away. The method of
employing the barb In this screw is
to first make a hole In the slot at the
head of the screw, and down Into the
material about a half Inch or less,
where it branches out nnd comes out
of the screw just nbove tho thread on
both sides. A sort of double prong
made of steel is then thrust Into the
hole nnd driven down into the screw,
entering the two brnnche and ex
panding into the wood to such dis
tance as may be desired for the usage
to which It Is put. In making auto
noniea, wagons, etc.. wnere tt is ab-
Bolutely essential that the screw re-
bodies, wagons, etc., where It Is ab-
main rigid, this new irvention of
Mr. Flournoy'a will prove invalual io.
and we predict thai hn will get rich
frorn the invention, nnd patent which
I ho will undoubtedly secure.
Geo. W. Dimmick. or Kellogg, was
In the pity today, after a trip to the
Boouth,end or the county, where he
secured 300 or more signatures to a
petit Ion addressed to the County
Court, asking for the construction of
I a wagon bridge across the Umpuua
River, where the Dimmick ferry has
buen operated for years. A similar
petition, bearing the names or about
1000 taxpayers or the north end or
the county, was presented to the
Cfiuntv Court last spring, but It was
tabled Indefinitely, chiefly for the
reason that the necessary funds were
not available. The bridge asked for
would be about 47T feet long and
would cost approximately 20,000.
