A NITROGLYCERIN ENGINE.
Ohioan Says He Has an Epoch Making
Invention,

SPENCERVILLE. Ohio. April 19.-Wil-
liam Myers. well known to the oil men
in this vicinity, having been connected
with the Bitroglycerin business for sew
eral years. but now located at Bowling
Green, Ohio. says he has invented an
engine which will revolutionize the ques-
tion of artificial power
The machine is very much like a gas
engine. with the exception that it runs
by nitroglycerin instead of gas.
The engine is so built that a minute
quantity of nitrog'ycerin is exploded in
the cylinder of the machine and like ex-
ploding gas. forces the piston rod to move.
The power of this machine would be
limited only by the strength OF its
mechanism, pistons. as the awful force
of nitroglycerin when harnessed and put
to work in the cylinder of an engine would
be beyond conception.

THREW OIL
stove OUT
OF HOUSE.
Frank A. Palmer Prevented a
Fire but Ra Severely Burned
Himself In % Doing.

BY his plucky action in carrying to the
door of his house and throwing into the
yard a blazing oil stove. Frank A. Pal
mer of 610 Cranston street this morning
probably saved a serious fire in the house
although he was quite badly burned in
doing IL.
Early this forenoon while Mrs Il. A.
Palmer. mother of Frank, was engaged
in getting breakfast on the oil stove, 1t
suddenly blazed up. the oil in the stove
catching fire and sending masses of
burning oil out into the room.
Mr.. Palmer hastily secured a rug and
wrapped IL about the stove, and then ran
with 1t TO the door and threw 1t into the
yard, the stove being a mass OF flames at
the time. and threatening to explode. In
the yard IL burned itself out.
The flames badly burned Mr.. Palmer's
hands, singed his eyelashes and eyebrows
off and also singed his hair, but fortu-
nately he did not inhale the flames. The
loss of the stove and the rug was the only
damage.

INJURED
John DeWburg Of Central Falls
Run Over and Wheel Wrecked
Through CareIessness.

An unknown driver OF an express
wagon carelessly caused serious injury
10 John Denburg: wrecked the latters
bicycle. and then drove OFF as rapidly as
possible 10 avoid meeting the responsi-
bility which rested upon him.
Denburg resides at 103 Watson street
in Central Falls. He was riding his wheel
on Mill street, this city. at o'clock this
morning. when the expressman referred
TO ran into him. knocked him off his
wheel and then ran over him.
Having done this the expressman
whipped up his horse and drove up the
street at fast pace.
Those who went 10 Denburgs assist
ance were too much engrossed with solicit
tude for him To pay any attention TO the
reckles driver hence IL Is hardly possible
that his Identity can be established.
Denburg's right leg was injured. his
face aud hands bruised and his bicycle
reduced TO junk.
The injured man was attended by a
physician and then sent to his home in a
car.

FOUL PLAY
Relatives Of Daniel Johnson Be-
li0Ve He Met Violent Death.

Portland Me. Sept 27.-The relatives Of
Daniel Johnson. an aged resident OF Cor
ham, have good cause for believing that
he has met with foul play and that his
deda body Is now laying somewhere in
the woods between his home and Sebago
Lake station, Il distance -ef two miles, He
had a large amount OF money with him,
the proceeds OF a recent sale of cattle,
when he disappeared and il is the general
belief that while returning from the
Maine Central railroad station at Sebago
Lake he was held up and murdered for
this money
Another theory is that the old gentle
man Is suffering from alteration of the
mind and may be driving aimslessly about
the country or has been taken care of at
some farm house on an out of the way
road
Johnson. who is rs years old drove TO
the station Thursday night with two
Portland people, who had attended the
wedding OF his granddaughter and left
them at the station for the Z p. m. train.
Then he started for home and he has not
been seen since.
About IL o'clock that night his dog re-
turned home alone and IL Is considered
unlikely that the animal would have de-
serted its master unless he was dead.
A lap robe which has been fully iden
titled was picked UP a quarter of mile
from the station on the Gorham side. He
drove a white horse weighing 800 pounds.
hitched TO a two-seated beach wagon,
conspicuous outfit. which has not been
seen since.
The residents In that vicinity are
searching the woods along the road and
the authorities have been notified.

members OF the board of aldermen by
which II is sought to have the mayor and
other members OF the board of canvass
ers restrained from canvassing the list
of voters OF that city by six wards was
submitted to the appellate court today
on briefs.
The only point in dispute is whether
chapter lOlS passed by the last general
assembly is constitutional or not Mr..
Kennedy was at the election OF Novem-
ber, 1901, elected a warden and claims he
has been or will be wrongfully de-
prived of the enmoluments OF his office 20
the provisions Of the law referred 10 are
carried out. He asserts that the law is
unconstitutional because the act dele
gates power that the constitution pro-
vides shall be vested in the general as
sembly alone.
In fact he asserts that the power given
10 the government TO appoint was not
right as he made the commission and the
commission made the division of the
wards The redistricting OF cities and
towns being solely the right Of the legis-
lature.
T. w. Bloukett, colnScl Tor the city OF

governor is in greater than that given In
the case OF the appointment of police
commissioners In Newport and Provi-
dence. The action OF the governor in
those instances had been held as consti-
tutional.
Mr.. Blodgett argues that the act clear
~ shows that the assembly made the di-
vision In providing the city should be
divided into not more than seven wards.

cannot delegate its powers but says there
was no delegation in this case.
