Omaha, Aug. 1e--Four firemen lost
their lives last night in a blaze on an
upper floor of the Mere Chemical COM

lower the big extension truck upon
Which they had been working. Sud-
denly there was a sputtering and sue

lowering the ladder writhed in agony

WILL FRANCE WAX wRoTH9
One of Her Fishermen Killed by a Brit
ish Coast Guard Boat.

London, Aug. 10.-The papers this
morning are hoping that France will
not make an International question of
the killing of a French sailor off
Folkstone yesterday. The sailor was
the helmsman of a French fishing
boat, which was poaching on British
waters. The boat was captured and
towed. into port and the captain put
under arrest. The torpedo gunboat
Leda was on guard on the fishing
grounds and when she sighted the
French boat inside the three-milel limit
she fired a blank cartridge, which the
Frenchman ignored.
The Leda then fired a solid shot
which killed the helmsman. 1t is hoped
here and all along the coast that this
regrettable incident will draw atten-
tion to the serious inroads made by
foreign fisherman in British waters.
The admiralty authorities express ex-
treme surprise at the fact that the
fishing boat .disregarded the Leda's
signal to heave to, and in the absence
of the official report they assume
that the commander of the Leda only
resorted to drastic measures when 9TH
er means were Intellectual.

All of those who were killed met
death in a most horrible manner. The
second-class car when the crash came
mounted right on top of the engine and
the escaping steam from the engine lit

PURINGToN MAKES A KICK.
Chicago Brick Manufacturer Who Objects

Chicago Brick Man ufacturer Who Objects
to Union Demands.
Chicago. Aug. 10.-There has been no
settlement of the brickmakers' strike
The south side yards are still closed.
The men are idle and the situation is
vastly worse than it was a week ago.
The union prepared a contract for the
employers to sign. The most impor-
tant feature of the contract, and to the
employers the most Objectionable, is a
clause which requires the manufactur-
ers to sell brick to any one in Cook
county upon demand being made by
the union. The manufacturers say the
agreement has been generally turned
down.
d. V. Purington, of the Purington-
Kimbell company, read that clause.
Gentlemen he said, I'VE pay you the
wages you want; we give you the hours
you want; we pay you on the day and
hour you like best; we let you control
the yards in every way All we have
left in our power is to pay you and sell
our product. Now you want to take
one of those privileges from us. You
can't do it,"
