SPRINGFIELD, O., Jan.17.-Four prom

the Superior Machine company, manu-
facturers of pumps. wind en-

Ostion to move their plants and
take their hands to Minneapolis, where
they have offered extraordinary induce

came here some time ago and has been
quietly at work on the deal. The COM

matter, but finally consented to go to
Minneapolis to examine the sites offered
them. Accordingly Representatives of all

WATKINS is PLEASED.
The Eastern Settlement Suits Him
Exactly.

Manager Watkins said last night, re-
ferring to the settlement of the base
ball war at New York, that he was par
ticularly pleased with that part of the
association a major league. He, how
ever, characterized the action of CuSh-
man, of Milwaukee, in trying to getinto
the American association, as the rank
est foolishness. st would be
bad for Milwaukee and far worse
for the American association if
such move should be successful" said
Manager Watkins, because Milwaukee
is way out of the American circuit, and
besides is only Sunday town. The
American people could better have
afforded to keep in Toledo than take in
Milwaukee" Continuing, Mr.. Wat
kins said: president Krauthoff will
call meeting of the Western associ-
alton in few days to settle on the cities
to compose it. The present outlook is
that Toledo will take the place of Sioux
City and later on Indianapolis may buy
out Lincoln, though Dave Rowe is put
ting together good team and can stay
in the association if he insists"
Mr.. Watkins yesterday received the
approved contracts of Messrs. Ely and
Baldwin. He is still looking for
grounds on the East side. though he
may remain on the West side portion
of the season, the electric lines and gen
eral transfer system all over the city

Fatal Explosion Of a Sewer
Manhole in the City Of
Chicago.
One Woman'S Brains Scatter
ed Along the Crowded
Street.
Police Officer Moore'S Narrow
Escape From Instant
Death.
Total Loss of the Philadelphia
Carpet Mill Fire Some
$1,5OO,0O0.

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-With crash
heard for mile, and smashing plate
glass windows for a radius OF three
blocks a sewer manhole exploded this
evening at the intersection OF jackson
street and Wabash avenue when both
thoroughfares were crowded with shop
pers and work people. Dozens of per-
sons were thrown from their feet by
the terrific force of the explosion, and
wild panic ensued among those left
unstunned. Anumber of passers by were
Injured by falling glass. In the excited
crowd were many ladies. One woman,
MrS.C. r. Ross (colored), was killed out
right. Her death was shocking one.
She was stepping nearly upon the fatal
manhole when the covering, with start
ling suddenneSs, flew Skyward and she
was slammed backward, fiat against the
curbing. The woman'S skull was split
open and her brains were scattered
about in a circle on the stones.
A little four-year-old cOlored boy
who was with her strangely escaped in
Jury, not receiving so much as scratch.
F. H. Mack received serious scalp
wounds from stone that was shot out
of the pavement. and had painful
cash in the wrist from jagged piece OF
window glass. Up to moment before
the explosion Police Officer Moore. who
is regularly stationed at that corner, had
been standing ON the manhole cover
almost continuously for hours. A
right-of-way dispute between teamsters
caused him to change his position Ill the
nick of time and doubtless saved his
life. The persons injured by glass aside
from Mr.. Mack were: G. NJ. Stout. L.
Sheldon, j. Carplers and E. w. Wad-
dell. None were dangerously hurt eX-
cept Mr.. Stout. one of whose hands was
nearly severed from the arm. The Of
fees of the Singer Sewing Machine
company were the most damaged in
the neighborhood. Out OF the sixty
windows in the company's premises
not one has whole pane left.
Across the street, at Wellington hotel,
about forty windows were broken and
the same number in the Chickerlng
Piano building. Several theories are
advanced as to the cause OF the ex-
plosion, many claiming sewer gas, 9th
ers that the Illuminating gas pipes had
sprung a leak and the electric light
wires had caused the gas to ignite.
This last is the opinion of the officials OF
the city sewerage department. A SIM
liar explosion, with hardly less dis
aStrOus results. occurred a year ago in
almost the same locality,

LAFAYETTE, La, Jan. 17.-This was
the last day of the most interesting field
tlial that ever took place in Southwest
Louisiana. The all-age stake was

wind were about equal Charley had the
best scenting power and won. An
tonia and Parker's Glen were then
brought to the scratch and given the
word. Both dogs were like the
wind. Three-quarters of an hours hard
work resulted in a victory for Antonio.
Tennessee Charlie and Antonio then
ran neck and neck race, lasting an
hour, Antonio winning in handsome
style. The final race was for first
money. $500. 1t was between Cassie
and Antonio, the latter winning after

Over Three Thousand Idlers Made
by the Philadelphia Fire.
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 1.-THE site Of
the burned carpet mills presents scene
of desoatIon to-day. A tangled and
charred mass of iron, wood, brick and
stone piled together in the widest COLI
fusion is all that remains of the three
buildings destroyed. Of the large four
story picker house, in which the fire
originated, nothing remains but the
walls. The roof crashed in on the ma
chinery, and all is now ShapeleSs
mass. The main Six-Story building, or
the carpet mills, is total wreck, as is
also the extensive stOrehOuse. There
were in all eleven buildings used by the
DObsons in thh manufacture of carpets
and plush. All were close together. but
escaped serious injury with the excep-
ton of the three buildings mentioned.
The three burned buildings were mon
ster affairs. The main structure de-
stroyed was the largest of the group.
1t was 600 feet long by $50 wide, was
built of stOne and SIX stories in height.
Nearly $500 employees will be thrown
out of employment. The loss will be
about S1.50O,0O0 and is distributed

pany will be dlSaStrously affected by
the heavy loss.
James DObsOn said this afternoon:
We will open our plush mills Monday
morning, and will probably open the tapes
try department little later which will give
about 1000 persons employment. There will
still be about 2 900 out of work, but we will
need number of hands to help clean up,
and we will look after the heads of families
first. and will do our part to see that no

there are $4,000 persons depending
upon us for support Although the
loss on the fire was so large, it will not seri-
ously affect any of the insurance companies,
$4,000 being about the largest policy held by
the Messrs. Dobson in any one company.
