Cardinals Manager Complains of Too
 Little Authority.

Heinie Zimmerman is playing a great game at second fer the Chica- 20 Nationals in the absence Of John- ny Eyers and hitting very hard. which recalls one of John McClos- keys most touching hard luck storiea
 The last time ihe Cubs were in st Louis Mccloskey. who was much in need of an infelder, approached Chance with an offer to trade Beebe for Zimmerman. The Cub leader was favarahly disposed, and the deal would have Eeen made at once but for the fact that McClosseT's hands are tied and he has no authority to make a mcTe without Stanley Robin sons permission.
 "rm tell you what to do. Frank. Y said John 10 Chance. Put Zimmf . man into the game this afternoon sd let Stanley take q icuk at him IT en he will prahatlv consent to a trade.
 Chance agreed and rent the husky inaeIder into Eyers's place IL vas a close game. and Zimmerman won IL for the Cubs hy his timely hitting. besides playing a great game Ia the field. He looked 90 Egca that Chance changed hI5 mind and refused to make the deal. So MsCloSkey lest a first class man all teeause he Is not allowed to run the Cardinals accord ing to his own judgment

MORE lNJUNCTIONS
ChoppiDg Down of verandas
 Stopped By Attorney Cole.

Mayor Thoms, City Attorney Kel- logg and City Engineer Cairns spent portion of yesterday congratulating themselves on their splendid victory in the contest with certain property owners on Meadow street, but late in the afternoon another shell was thrown into their camp and sent them from the field in utter confusion and for time they were at their wits end to know what to do. While work men were saving of a portion of Charles Egan's veranda. Attorney Cole was hurrying on to Winsted on the fast express in the hope of get ting an injunction issued in his own name as mortgagee, which he finally succeeded in doing, the paper being signed by Judge Roraback, who was sitting at that place. Armed with this instrument Judge Cole renewed his attack, commencing by turning the document over to w. ]. Rigney to be served on City Clerk Sandland. As soon as the clerk got the paper he communicated with the city at ? torney who later talked it over with MT Cole and both agreed to have the case argued next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock before Judge Roraback in Winsted. This will be the great est battle yet fought over che railroad project and it is understood that many not needed as witnesses on either side will be on hand to witness the tussle.
 The injunction does not cover any thing except the Egan property and this morning instead of commencing where they left off yesterday the work men stepped across the way and tack led the FL. Larkin building and start ed to Top parts of it off. The battle is now on for fair and is bound to be fought into the last ditch regardless of cost.

BRAKE WAS MISSING.
Man on Paving Job Had Hard Time
 To-day.

Through lack of a brake there was a near horse tragedy on North square this noon. An employe of Mraz, who is doing a paving job in the north end. was guiding through North square a horse which was drawing, first a wagon, attached to which was a large roller such as vitrified brick payers use in leveling the brick, and after that was a heavy wagon with a single shaft. There was no brake to either vehicle and that was the cause of the trouble. When ap- preaching the incline near the wa- tering tank on the square the heavy roller began to swing the horses and the still heavier wagon in the rear began to serve as a rudder on the roller. The last wagon pulled on the roller. which swung the first wagon and that sung the horses out of their course.
 Everybody of the fifty or so peo- pie watching expected to SC the watering tank knocked out of its foundation, but the damage was averted by very close range of an inch or so. The driver then thought to steer the horses toward Cherry street, but the wagon in the rear had the roller going and the roller was pulling on the wagon in front and it was at once apparent that something serious must happen. Despite every effort of the driver the triple weight turned the horses toward North Elm street and had not the left front wheel of the front wagon collided with the curb on the Sandom corner there would have been two dead horses. The momentum of the roll. CT threw the left front wagon wheel against the curb and then onto ;ha sidewalk, where it lay wrenched in hole of It's own making. When. after a few minutes, the driver got courage to move again. the shaft of the rear wagon which was tied to the rear of the roller snapped in two and but for the timely assistance of Off, cer Mullings the driver would have been killed as we'll as the horses Dr Keeley arrived on the scene then and gave intelligent help to the dis tracted driver. After time every thing was straightened out and the driver, unable to cross over Cherry street, went down North Elm. He was followed for some distance by the crowd. which expected to see the rear wagon push the roller onto the horses and the entire outfit wind up in a smash down the incline. but the wrenched wheel on the first wagon served as the needed brake and tlere was no more trouble.

LAUNDRY WRECKED BY
EXPLOSION OF BOILER
MANAGER SUFFERS SERIOUS
INJURY
Girl Employees Narrowly Miss Being
Killed in Accident Which Occurs
in Room They Had Just
Left

A large mangle in the finishing room
of the California laundry, 337-S39 East
First street, exploded shortly before z
o'clock yesterday morning and several
persons narrowly escaped serious in
Jury The windows in the building
were shattered and Myron j. Carr,
manager of tha place, was badly cut
by broken glass.
About forty girls are employed at
the laundry. They assemble in the
room where the explosion occurred at
Z o'clock
The machine which exploded has
been in use in the laundry for the last
three months. 1t consists of a boiler
four feet across and twelve feet long.
Rollers revolve around this boiler,
which is heated with steam.
At $3.50 o'clock the engineer, Rudolph
Jungs, turned steam into this mangle.
Shortly afterward the building was
shaken by a terrific explosion and large
pieces of iron were hurled across the
room. The wooden partitions We're
tern out the elevator wrecked and an
other large mangle badly wrecked.
The boiler head, which did most of
the damage, narrowly missed Manager
Carr, who had just stepped out of its
path.
The officers of the laundry are un-
able to explain the cause of the ex-
piosion. They think too much steam
was turned into the cold boiler of the
mangle, and this might possibly have
been the cause.
The damage to the machinery. build
ms and laundry will approximate $500.
