SAM LOWE SAID IT
Told Benedict & Burnham Men
 to Get Out
WERE CUT 40 CENTS A DAY

They Prepared a Protest and Present. ed it to the> Bosses Foreman Lowe Said if They Didn't Like it They
 Could Get to H-ll Out of the Shop The Men Are Out.
 This morning nine polishers o11i4 work at the City Manufacturing Go at Benedict & Burnham's on account of cut in wages amounting to forty cents day. The statement as given out by one of the men is to the effeef that nine polishers had been working on a certain class of work and had been receiving sixty cents hundred for doing it up to last Tuesday wl,es, the Job was cut to fifty cents a h1ln- dred thus bringing them down from $2.4O per day to $2. The men prepar- ed statement of their grievances and presented it to Foreman Samuel Lowe who replied by telling them that ifs they didn't like the new order og things they could take their time ana get to h--ll out of the shop. adding that he could secure all the Italians and Polanders he wanted who wos1Id gladly work for what they were get ting and whether he could or not he would let the work rot in the factory before he would give them any more. There wasn't much show for getting around this and the men took the orllv alternative open to them-went out and decided to await developmenfs. They claim everything was running along smoothly in the department un- til man named John Laplante was brought in, who rushed out work in any shape and by so doing made it an pear that the job could stand cut, but If they tried that game their work wouldn't be accepted. They talked with superintendent Webb about the trouble, but he Informed them that he didn't see what he could do with refer ence to ridding them of Laplant,s presence so long as he showed no signs of inficting physical injury upon any, body
 The matter has been brought fo the attention of the national body and an officer representing the Organization is expected here this afternoon who may succeed in strengthening out the snarl before it amounts to anything. It looks like a case that can be settled without resorting to a protracted strike. Foreman Lowe is rough and ready sort of fellow and was prob- ably out or sorts when the men ap- proached him and instead of telling them 10 return to theIr benches until he nad a chance to impure lnro the slr- uation told them to hasten to place where no sane man would think of visiting Of nis own voIltion. sam didn't mean that. There arg twenty-five pel1sners in the depart ment, all union men, but so far only the nine men who were effected by the cut have gone out. It is good shop and the hands are all skillful operators so that 1t is likely both will see the wisdom of getting together instead of inaugurating fight which would eventually injure each party to the con fiict.

The kind of fire which the fire de- partment fear most came near occur ring in the Thatcher Plumbing Co.'S store on Center street this morning.

A plumber was starting a fire in the plumbers usual fashion. There was a. quantity of oakum in the immediate vicinity and in 8 way that has not been accounted for a spark ignited the infiamable oakum and in a second the place was in blaze. Firemen say that the ceiling was ablaze when some one in Towles store ran into Thatcher's and seeing the danger pro- cured an extinguisher and applied its contents to the spreading flames. The danger was over in moment. The fire department was not sent for, and those ill charge of the store say it was nothing.

EDWARD LEAVES DUBLIN.
A Kindly Message Issued to the
 Irish People.

Irish People.
 :, DUBLIN, July 27.-King Edward and Queen Alexandra have left Dublin, accompanied by Princess Victoria and their suits, on their way to Newtown- ards, County Down, where they are now visiting the Marquis of London derry at his Mount Stewart residence.
 A message from King Edward to the Irish people expresses deep apprecia- tion of the loyalty and affection with which the king and queen were sur rounded during their stay in Dublin and says his majesty trusts that in Gods providence the Irish may enjoy blessings commensurate with the warmth of their hearts.
 The royal train, drawn by an engine decorated with garlands of flowers, ar rived at Newtownards without any noteworthy incident excepting that the country people crowded every vantage point along the line and cheered the passing train The welcome which , their majesties received at Newtown. ards was equally warm, if not so ex- tsnsive. as the greeting accorded them in Dublin.
 The little town was sayly decorated, and its streets were filled with cheer. ing crowds. The Marquis and Mar. chtoness of Londonderry and the coun- ty and municipal officers met the king and queen at the railroad station, and the royal party drove to Mount Stew. art.
 King Edward, accompanied by Lord Londonderry, visited Lord De Ros and drove to the town of Stranford, where he was acclaimed by crowds which had gathered despite the wet weather.
 MT. Wyndham, who is a universal ia forite, was cheered in Dublin almost as warmly as the king himself, and in his unavoidable absence from the house of commons he received at the same time congratulations from all benches, the chief of the Irish Nation. alists and representative, Irish land lords, the leader of the opposition and the leader of the house uniting in ex, pressing their grateful sense of MT. Wyndham's capacity and tact.

OFFICIAL TRIAL RACES
Fine Weather and Good Breeze
 for the First One

Reliance Got Over Line First To-Day
 Closely Followed By Constitution
 The Winner of These Trials Will Be
 Selected to Go Against Shamrock
 III.
 Brentons Point, July 27.--A typi- cal summer northwestern, cool and in vigorating was snapping out the clear est of blue skies this morning, when the crews of three of the fastest yachts ever built in this country be- gan preparations for the first official trial race for the selection of defend CT of the America's cup against Sir Thomas sLipton's challenger, sham rock III. For four months all three crews, including owners, captains, mates and seamen have worked hard. The three yachts have sailed nineteen finished races and in every one the Re liance has led at the finish line. Her margin at times has been so small that the Constitution has been adjudg- ed the winner by reason of her small sails spread.
 The yachts started as follows in to- day race as seen rom the SnOre. Re- liance, 11:3O. 12; iConstitution, II :30.3S; Columbia, II :32.O0.
 The yachts crossed the outer mark as follows: Reliance 1:1O.20;l Consti- tuition, 1:10.40, and Columbia, 1:16.4.
 After turning the outer mark, the Constitution for miles kept ahead and it was not until the Reliance took in her spinnaker and hauled across the stern of the Belmont boat, cutting off her wind, that the new boat was able to take the lead The Columbia had been dropped all the way down. At 2:20 the yachts were within five miles of the finish and the Constitution was holding the Reliance in fine shape, and it looked to the observers on shore as if she would win on time allowance The contest was the hottest of the sea- son between the two boats. The Go lumbia was a mile astern.
 The Reliance crossed the line at 3:04:22, Consultation 3:09:2S, and the Columbia 3:1O:24. The Reliance wins the race, while the Columbia beats the Constitution on time allowance.

 Trouble for His Family.
 New York, July 7.-When Matthew Callahan escaped from the Tombs prison together with Robert Booth, June 23, the authorities did not feel much alarmed, for they knew he would fall into the hands of the police before long. To-day Callahan is back in prison with long term before him. He owes his recapture to his violent temper and his desire to make matters unpleasant for his wife and children
 Officers of the West Sixty-eighth street station were surprised by q wo- man who rushed in and asked for pro. tection from her husband, who was threatening to burn their home. Shc added that he recently escaped from prison. When two policemen reached the house they found the children in the hallway weeping. Callahan was found under the bed. When he was pulled out he made determined re- sistance, but was subdued and identi- lied later by the Tombs keepers. His escape from the city prison was com paratively easy because he and Booth were "trusties," but his sentence is sure to be greatly heightened from the original six months,

COSS IS A HERO
New York Patrolman Risked
 His Life to Save Others
PULLED MEN FROM BUILDING

Then Dropped Unconscious from His
 Eforts-A Cylinder Head of an En- zine in the Ruppert Brewery Blew
 out-Two Men are Dead and a Num-
 ebr Injured.
 New York, July 27.-Two men are known to be dead and six injured, one perhaps fatally, as the direct result of the blowing out of a cylinder head of an engine attached to an ammonia pump In the Jacob Ruppert Brewing Co.'S ice plant on Alexander avenue early to-day. One hundred and fifty men were at work at the time and as soon as the engine stopped working the ammonia flowed from the pump, the fumes spreading to all parts of the building. Patrolman David J. Goss of the Alexander avenue station was over come by the fumes while rescuing un- conscious employees from the building and his injuries may prove fatal
 The dead are:
 Otto Smith, engineer.
 John Vincinsky, fireman
 The injured are:
 Charles Katz, assistant engineer. Js ESs by fumes, may die.
 John Mortowitz burned on face and hands and overcome by the fumes.
 Charles Carpenter, overcome by ann monia fumes.
 Henry Uraum, foreman of the ice plant, burned in the face. hands and body by ammonia.
 Charles Ulfland, burned by ammonia. Tnrna fy4eA I1n cvrsr r1d of the four-story building are attached to ammonia pumps, the two smaller ones being used at night. Just before z o'clock Smith and Vincinsky stopped the smaller engines and started the larger one. The explosion followed shortly after, but made very little noise: and the employees on the upper floors heard only muffled roar As soon as the engine stopped the ann monia in the immense pump spurted all over the engine room, enveloping and suffocating the two men.
 Upstairs the smell of the fumes car ried warning and the employees rushed to. the roof. the narrow stairway delay ing the few who were overcome. The assistant engineer, Charles Katz, was on platform over the engine when the explosion took place and jumped into a pit filled with oil underneath the en- zine. where he remained more than three hours, until discovered. Patrolman Goss heard the noise of the explosion and rushed into the build ing. Covering his head with a cap similar to a-drivers' helmet. he went into the engine room. and dragged out the. charred bodies of Smith and Vim cinsky. Again he went in and carried out Carpenter and Mortowitz. both of whom were unconscious. As he turned to re-enter the building he fell uncon- scious and had to be taken to a hos. pital. By this time the fire department had arrived and the other bodies and those on the roof were taken down by ladders.
 Because of the fumes 1t was impossi- ble to enter the building until nearly 10 o'clock, when the ammonia was shut off.
 Congressman Jacob A. Ruppert. the owIler of the plant. and Engineer Friedman then went through the build ing and discovered the unconscious body of Katz.
 The damage to the plant is estimated at not over $1,O00.
