PorrsvIrLE, Pa, Jan. 4. Trouble is
threatened again between the Reading
railroad and the Brotherhood of Engineers
and Flremen. The patch-up of troubles
last fall was only temporary, and the
Reading management is evidently prepar-
ing for a struggle to atone for the recent
backdown. Applications by the score are
being examined at difteren: points on the
line, and engineers certificates are being
given out freely to firemen, who are told
to keep in their present minor positions,
and that in the early spring they would be
given engines. Enough men have been
promised enGineerships to man all the To-
comotives the company own. The broth
erhoods openly assert that the company is
preparing to order them TO leave the asso-
Citations or the company's employ, and
that the battle will soon be declared on.

A Steamer Wrecked in the Sacramento.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 4.-The sealing
schooner Ivanhoe was wrecked on sand
bar in the Sacramento river about o'clock
this afternoon, and her crew of five had a
very narrow escape from being drowned.
The Ivanhoe has been laid up for some
time, and she started for San Francisco
early this morning for the pupose OF fitting
out for another cruise after furs. The ves-
sci was coming down under SAIL and it is
thought strong current in the river
carried her out OF the channel and on to
the sand bar. The vessel struck with
sufficient force to carry away both masts,
and every man on board was thrown vio-
lently 10 the deck. She struck broadside
on, and the strong tide began to keel her
over. The men had no time 20 lose, and
they climbed into boat in short order and
got clear of the vessel. Inside of ten
minutes afterwards the Ivanhoe was bot
tom up and damned hard and fast on the
sand. The crew lost everything they had
on board the vessel.

Fire In an Eight-story BuIlding-St.
Thomas College. Scranton. Damaged
"A Brooklyn Block Destroyed.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4-Shortly before 8
O'Clock this afternoon a terrific explosion
OF natural gas wrecked the lower part OF
the printing establishment of Donohue &
Henne5erry, on Dearborn street. The
accident occurred during the progress of
small fire, and over a score of firemen were
injured, including Chief Sweeney, beside
number of laborers. Two are dying and
several others are so badly injured they are
not expected to recover. An employe
of the natural gas company repaired
the connection in q vault under the side
walk during the morning, and about 8
O'Clock flames were discovered in the
vicinity. A fire alarm was Immediately
given, and the vault doors were thrown
open, when terrific explosion occurred.
Ten tiremen were all more or less injured.
The fire department arrived and rushed to
the vault, when another explosion &C.
Cured, hurting the firemen across the
room with terrible force and crushing
them against the walls. Several of the
men were rendered senseless and the
flames, which ignited their clothing.
roasted their hands and faces in horrible
manner.
Before half Of the injured men had been
place was swarming with bremen rescuing
their comrades. third explosion more
violent than the others took place and the
wouid-5e rescuers were laid beside the
men they came to assist. The loosened
ironwork of the vault fell from the vio-
lence of the explosion, and for a mo-
ment it was thought the building
was coming down, but undeterred,
other fremen rushed to the
rescue of the unfortunates, and one by one
the burned and battered men were taken
out. This was barely accomplished when
a fourth violent explosion occurred, and
bricks, mortar and iron work fell in all di-
rections. a patrol wagon was finally dis
patched to notify the gas company to shut
of the flow and when this was done the
flames were soon brought under control.
The building was badly strained and
torn and every pane of glass in the whole
eight stories lay in the street. The dam
age was fully $4,000. About 800 people
were employed in the building. and they
escaped without injury or panic. Those
fatally burned are James Russell and
Thomas Gallager. both fremen. Among
the seriously, but not fatally. burned
were Chief Sweeney, Marshal O'Mally,
three captains, three lieutenants. eight
firemen. three of Donohue & Henneberry's
employees, four iaborers and an I'M
known empIoye of the gas company.
