New types OF steam shoyels are to

machines put to such use are operated

One of these gives greater latitude of
movement 20 the dipper The old-fash
ioned steam shovel dipper was limited
to a verticIe thrust, but in the newer
machines the big scoop is not only
enabled to revoIye in a complete circle,
but the dipper is fitted with a sliding
trolley, to which is suspended by an
adjustable arm. and about which it ro-
tates. Indeed. the present mechanism
even renders it possible to remove the
dipper entirely and make use Of the
machine as a locomotive crane. In the
new-style machine all the movement IS

to be operated by one man stationed
on a platform at the front of the ma

For a Horse Blanket
Driver Pulled II From a Girl
Who Was In Flames.

Cleveland. Dec. 4.-Important evi,
dence came to light at the Coroner s
inquest over the death of Emma Gen,

After the girl had been practically
rescued and brought safely to the
ground, a blanket was taken from a
horse attached to a hay wagon and
thrown around her TO stifie the flames,
as her clothing was still on fire. The
horses had been pulling a load of hay
and the driver Of the wagon objected
to the use of his blanket. He snatched
the blanket from around the girl and a
moment after she was mass Of flames.
He said that the blanket was a new
one and that he did not want it burned.
This testimony was brought out at
the eounty morgue yesterday and may
mean an important development in the
case. The name of the driver could not
be found out, but the name of his en-.
ployer is known.
Coroner Simon is trying to learn the
name of this driver 1t is known that
he resides on Payne ave The testi-
