FLY-WHtEL DASHED
THROUGH BOILER
HOUSE ROOF
Engine in Knitting Department
of Cooper Co. Runs Wild
NO ONE WAS INJURED
Accident Happened This Morning
Shortly After Six O'Clock After
Night Shift Had Quit

A peculiar accident occurred short
ly after six o'clock this morning in
the power house of the knitting de
partment of the Cooper Manufacture
ing company which is situated on the
west side of Beech street near the
Benton dam. A few minutes after
the night shift had stopped working
loud crash was heard in the engine
room and those in the vicinity
thought the engine had blown up. On
Investigation it was found that botn
lily and driving wheels were wrecked
land the interior of the building a
mass of ruined debris.
The greater part of the fly wheel
escaped through the roof, tearing a
large hole and breaking several panes
Of glass in the main building of this
department Another section OF the
wheel was dashed towards the west
side of the building but carried the
betting with it and became lodged in
the side wall.
The cause of the accident was the
breaking or slipping off of the belt on
the governor of the engine. When
the load was shifted from the engine
at the close of tne nights work 1t
must have gained a terrific speed and
practically run away" The wheels
could not stand the strain and flew to
pieces.
Luckily no one was near the engine
house when the accident occurred or
loss of life might have accompanied
the disaster. On the other hand the
fly wneel might not have been demol-
ished if the engineer was at work
and shut off the power when he saw
the governor did not work.
The engine was rs horse power
one used in running the knitting de
partment The main part of the ma.
chine is not badly damaged and could
easily be repaired. 1t is not probable
that this will be done, however, as
Mr.. Cooper nas thought seriously for
some time of replacing it with an cleo
trio motor and will probably take this
opportunity to do so.
Power from another part of the
plant is being used today to run this
department of the company and no
stop will be made on account of the
accident.

SPEND NIGHT OF
TERROR ON SHIP
Big Spanish Liner Is Stranded On
Sand Reef-Passengers In Freez-
ing Wind and Rain.

FIRE ISLAND, N. Y. June 10
Three hundred and nine passengers ON
the big Spanish liner, Antonio Lopez.
were taken from the ship in the power
lifeooat by the live-saving crew at
Quogue during the morning hours to-
day anu landed on the wrecking tug
Chapman. Later they were trans
ferred to the revenue cutters Mohawk
and Seneca for transfer 10 New York.
The New York agents OF the line
held a conference with the life savers
and were advised to remove the pas
sengers. Most of the latter were un-
nerved by their experience and there
was also chance that bad weather
might set In which would make the
position Of the Lopez dangerous.
The commander of the Mohawk was
reached by wireless and he announced
that he would sail at once for the
stranded steamer and advised that In
the meantime the passengers be re-
moved to the wrecking tugs. which
was done. ~.-
The big liner was stranded last
night on a sand reef near Point
O'Woods on the south coast Of Long
Island and all efforts to send line
to her last night or to even get her
name were fruitless because OF the
high surf.

boat, and Quoted the fears OF the pas-
sengers who had spent the night on
the decks In freezing wind and cold
rain.
The vessel Is a large iron steamer
of 1851 tons, commanded by Captain
Mir. She has 81 first cabin, 80 second
cabin and 203 steerage passengers, be-
sides a crew OF 1876.
The vessel went ashore shortly after
s o'clock last night In driving rain
and heavy fog. II Is thought that Cap
tain Mir mistook the Fire Island light
for the Ambrose channel light.
When the ship first struck, there
was a panic among the women pas
sengers In the steerage and II was
with dificulty that some were restrain
ed from throwing themselves into the

London patrOlmen carry no clubs At

coats have vertical stripes, blue and

and rains they wear little waterproof

Of perfection.
In Paris the ordinary patrolmen wear

In a downpour of rain the Paris po-
HCeman hangs his cap on a hook in the
back Of his belt and draws over his
head the hood OF a short blue cape Of
heavy cloth.
This hooded cape il called a capOchon,
and in its larger form, reaching to the
knees, is used by civilians as we'll in
cold or rainy weather. Accordingly at
such times the streets of Paris seem
TO be alive with cowled monks.
