Bad For The Oregon.
That Splendid Battle Ship Struck
a Reef Near Chez Foo.

Washington, June 3O.-The
navy department has received a
dispatch from Capt Wilde, of the
Oregon, dated at Che Foo, yester-
day, confirming the press report
that this ship is aground fifty
miles from Taku. He says an
other reef has left much water in
the forward compartment, and
there is rock through the side
of the ship about the double bot
tom about frame nineteen.
There are some holes through the
bottom of the ship.
Admiral Remey cables that the
BROOKLYN has been sent to assist
the Oregon. A steamer of the

Fertilizer Factory Burned.
Greenville MOuntaineer.

Greenville Mountaineer.
The chemical works of the
Greenville fertilizer factory were
burned completely down Friday.
The building was entirely con-
sumed and the acid chambers and
chemical apparatus are probably
ruined.
The fire broke out about 1870
O'Clock and the alarm was given.
The fire started in the upper part
of the building and soon had a
tremendous headway. The acid
tower bursted and the sulphuric
acid was turned loose in floods.
Two negro men, Tom Goodlett
and Walter Morris, were caught
In the acid and burned about the
mock aud shoulders. A burn
from suIphuric acid is about the
most painful burn in the world.
President Mills had physicians to
attend the injured men at once
and saw that nothing was lacking
for their comfort.
The loss will probably reach
$40, 900 a rough estimate, as no
official figures we're obtalnable at
the time of writing. There ia
sufficient insurance.

SHOOTING AT

Coroner James Crookston was sum-
moned to Granger on Thursday morn

had been shot and instantly killed at

train at Granger a mar sprang upon
him in the dark and attempted to rob
him of his valise. The doctor cried for
help and Phil Harper, an employe of
the work train, went to his assistance.
Leary commanded Harper to stand
hack or he would shoot, upon which the
latter pulled his revolver and fired at
Leary the bullet passing through the
heart of the would-be robber, killing
him instantly.
The coroner's jury consisting Of G.
II. Callahan, J. H. Dunbar and James
Davidson, who Investigated the affair,
returned a verdict to the effect that
Harper was justified in protesting him
self against bodily injury by shooting
Leary.
Leary appeared to be a desperate

WITHOUT FUEL,
This Engine Rams, Furnishing Condor
able Power.

able Power.
A new power engine, which is oper-
ated without fuel, steam, electricity or
other propelling force, is the invention
Of w. G. Simons, of this city. The
machine is the nearest to perpetual
motion that can be made, and is in
successful operation. The invention Is
simple and inexpensive. 1t consists
of two upright aXles, between which
steel balls work upon worms. The
weight of the balls forms the power.
There is ne fuel. no water, no trouble.
All the expense Of operation Is for lu-
bricating oil, and the machine will run
until 1t is worn out. without any atten-
ton except to check it when not in use.
The plan is simple. There is one up
right axle. about which is constructed
a worm, arranged so hat it winds
quite closely. Held against this worm
are Case-hardened steel balls. kept
there by a groove, out of which they
cannot move sideways. At the base of
this is a cog wheel moving in the same
direction as the worm, and this works
'hNc "i'AA'A Tvs wheel which OItL
ates another upright axle. upon which
is another worm. The second worm
is only one-siXth the diameter Of the
first one, and the coils of the worm arc
four times as far apart. The principle
o fthe machine is that while four balls
are descending on the large worm one
ball is being forced up on the small one
and moves up with four times the rap
idity with which it had come down.
This keeps four balls descending while
one is being elevated. and after it has
descended it drops back again to con
meet with the large worm. There IS
a governor at the top to check the
speed of the machine. Mr.. Simons has
a model, a very small affair, to which
he has attached a sewing machine, but
even with this he finds too much
power. 1t is estimated that these ma
chimes may be made to develop high
power, although the ~cheapness of con-
struction would probably favor more
machines and not such large ones,
where great power is needed. The
larger and taller these machines the
greater the gravity and a consequent
increase in speed and power.

Chicago singer found a profitable

Fanchon was unanimously condemned.
Miss Thompson, whose brief connec-
ton with Opera Comique was unre-
newed, has never been able to obtain
an American engagement because of
Adams powerful antagonism. Now
she has gone to sue for peace, which
she will finally effect through Mrs.
Adams. The three are stopping to-

SUBMARINE BOATS
Easily Detected by Balloons Soaring
Directly Above Them.

Directly Above Them.
Should the submarine boat take the
place in naval warfare that some ma
lions expect, one of the chief precau-
tons taken by the worlds navies will
be an immense increase in the num-
Der of balloons. with duly trained
STATS to work them, carried by war
vessels. The balloons carried by these
battleships are of exactly the same
material and pattern as those in use
in the army, only smaller. They have
a use far in advance of any mere long
distance o~bservational purpose, for,
though the wake of a submarine boat
sunk deeply in the water can only be
traced with difficulty from such an ele-
walton as that afforded by a ship, both
such wake and the boat itself can be
seen with absolute and undertaking
clearness from a captive balloon. This
Is the result of a scientific and optical
law, and when ship balloons were first
put to the practical test in regard to
this matter, the results attained were
of the most surprising kind. Even
where the water is distinctly cloudy,
objects of a much smaller kind than
a submarine boat, and painted of neu-
trail color, could be seen from a balloon
with the utmost clearness at a depth
of five fathoms, or thirty feet, though
the surface was rough. No submarine
boat could in the daytime get within
striking distance of a threatened ship
that had a balloon without being OBJ
served.
