Room an Obstruction.

Coroner Eugene IA. Lincoln today
filed his report with Clerk Webster of
the common pleas division on the death
OF Daniel Mccarthy who died from in
juues resulting from a collision with a
bicyclist on Washington bridge last
september
Coroner Lincoln's report Is long
one. lie reviews the circumstances pre-
Ceding the unfortunate accident md
ing that after seeing Mccarthy Martin
j. Fled, who Was riding the bicycle that
collided with the deceased had but u
fraction of second to turn his wheel
and the chances were thar 20 DO so in
time 20 prevent collision was impossi-
BILE. Mccarthy. the coroner finds, in
stepping out of the fOutWay was simply
doing what a great many people who
cross washington bridge do when near
the engine room Attention is called 70
the fact that a great many persons IN
going over the bridge do not like To
PASS through the engine room and 90
out on tO the roadway.
I'm fact the coroner finds that Nc
Carthy may have been prevented by
the shadows that darken the bridge
from seeing the bicyClist approach Him
and that the citv of Providence is dere-
lict IN regard 20 lights on the bridge,
the COrOner also finds
Mr. Lincoln calls attention 90 the
fact that manN pe0nle have defective
sight and do not discern objects Quick

ranged are Inadequate.
There should be no structure. the re-
port states. in the travelled portion such
as an engine room impliedlY holding
out "A menace or possessing a forbidding
aspect TO people who use such foOtway.
In view Of all the circumstances the
coroner does not think all the blame
should be placed upon one individual
and finds the case 10 be one OF accident
which only great presence of mind ana
agility on the part OF Fled
and Mccarthy could have prevented.
The autopsy showed Mccarthy was nos
a wen man at the time OF the accident.

further details are at hand regarding

desperate one-sided fight appears to

precise details are uncertain. 1t is re-
ported that the Beers lost heavily.
REPORTS BRITISH VICTORY.
There is no authoritative confirmation
OF the report that a battle has been
fought in Natal between General Sir
George stewart White and the Orange
Free state troops. although there is
no question that the Beers have crossed
the frontier at several points. 1t il ev-
en- already reported that the British
nave gained a great victory. that 1000
Beers were killed. and that the British
loss was very slight. but this may be
with out foundation, as another report
has been published to the effect that
Lord Rothschlld was in receipt OF news
OF great British victory. but when the
Associated Press representative. ques-
toned him regarding the dispatch. he
replied:
~ am sorry that have not received

The probability seems TO be that
there has not been any lighting as yet
in Natal.

Official Action of the Fall River
Unions Regarding Wages.
FALL RIVER. Mass, Nov. 12.-The Tex
tile Council met this afternoon and decided
to renew the demand of the operatives for
an increase of 10 per cent in the present
schedule Of wages being paid in the mills In
this city. Five unions -spilners, weavers,
carders, loom fxers. and slashers-were
represented. At the close OF the meeting
Secretary Whitehead gave out the following
statement:
I've decided to demand of the manu-
facturers an increase in wages of 10 per
cent for all operatives on the present sched-
ule, the same to be in effect on and after
December II. We request a reply to ouI
demands on or before November %. In the
event OF a refusal, we decided to recommend
to all the textile unions that their members
refuse to return to work on December II.
which is exactly the same as recommending
a general strike 10 enforce our demands.
The Textile Council decided. also, that it
feels so sure in its position that its demands
are justifable, as to offer TO the manufac-
turers the adjudication of the matter by
arbitration. We viii agree, if the matter Is
to be so disposed of, TO appoint COM
mittee of two men. and the manufacturers
to appoint like number, and the four TO
decide upon fifth, and if the proposition
is acceptable to the manufacturers we shall
make it known that the decision of this
board shall be presented to US before De-
cember 4, giving US week in which to con-
slider it. The vote on all decisions was
unanimous"
There are 80, 1000 operatives in the mills,
and about one-third are union members.
Their weekly pay is about 100000, The
manufacturers claim that present condi-
tions do not warrant an increase. They
figure that the margatn between cotton and
cloth is not as it was when an increase
was given last spring. They admit that
nearly all Of the mills are running at big
profit, but they say this is largely due to
successful speculations on which they stood
an even chance to lose.
Each union is well prepared, for all have
reached their limit in the local savings
banks, and for some time past have been
depositing in other cities. 1t is likely there
will be another conference of manufacturers
and unions with a compromise satisfactory
to both sides the result.
