NEW YORK TOWN SCORCHED
Failure of Water Supply Gives Flames
Full Sway.

Troy, N. Y, Jan. 4.-The business
section of Granville, n Y, village
of 5000 inhabitants, was swept by fire
with loss OF S250,000 The absolute
failure of the water supply at the crit

the intake pipe at the reservoir which
supplies the village, gave the flames
full sway. The local firemen. assisted
by volunteers from several nearby
towns, finally strung long lines of hose
to the bank of the Pawlet river and
then pumped a feeble stream up to
the scene of the blaze, but their eff
forts were of little avail
A sudden shift of the wind saved

Watchmdn Bound While Y0gg-

St Paul, Jan. 4.-The safe in the

The robbers discarded checks ag.
gregating $2,70O found in the safe.
Edward Gerndt, night watchman al

The night watchman's story of the
robbery is the only light the police SO
far have.
Gerndt says he was in the second
balcony at about 1890 a. m, sweep
ing out, when he heard some one
knocking at the stage door He went
to the door, he says, fnquiring who
was there A voice replied that the
applicant for admission was a member
of The Jolly Bachelors" company
playing at the theater, and that he
wanted to get in to obtain an article
from his dressing room. Gerndt says
he opened the door slightly to see who
their way inside, grappled and over
powered him before he could make
effective resistance
Gerndt says the two men bound him
with ropes, gagged and led him to a
front seat in the parquet, tying him
to the seat. One man, Gerndt says
covered him with a pistol while the
other went to the box Office and robbed
the safe.

London, Jan. 4.-Battling to the
grim end against desperate odds "Pe-

feputed anarchists, went to their death
shouting defiance to the laws of Eng
land.
Four companions, the police report,
perished with them in the flames that
consumed their den in Sidney street,
not far from the heart of London.
Only the charred bodies of the two
desperadoes wanted for the assassina-

have been recovered.
When their house had been riddled
with bullets from the guns of police
and soldiers and set on fire the
trapped men clambered to the roof and
there made their last stand, firing at
the crowds below and jeering their
assailants until the upper supports of
the building gave way and the outlaws
were swallowed up in the seething
flames.
Machine Guns Called For.
The affair took ON the dimensions
Of veritable battle. The civil au-
thorities finally became masters of the
situation. At one time the besieging
force called for machine guns, but
these were not brought into actual
use. A member of the ministry, Home
Secretary Winston Churchill, visited
the scene when the fighting was at its
height and assisted in the work OF

spent bullets.

SPOKANE men
INVENT AER0PLANE

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 18.-To Spo-
kane men will go the credit of origi-
mating a new idea in aeroplane con-
struction according to experiments
and the forecasts made by many fly
ing machine men who have seen the
models at work here.
The airship is known as the Coyne
Helicopter and it is the invention of
Mr.. w. E. Coyne and George Fos-
ter. both of Spokane. The declared
possibilities of the machine are such
as to startle those who are not ia
miliar with the plans.
Instead of little six-cylinder en-
gine the Helicopter will be equipped
with four 100 horsepower motors to
work the planes above the machine,
which rotate at rapid rate and give
the airship a lifting power of 12s,O0O
pounds. An additional motor of great
power Is installed to run the propel-
Ter which drives the ship ahead.
The car Is built on the idea of a
plum bob. 1t cannot turn turtle"
for it will always hold its poise and
| enable 1t to land on the top Of a roof
1t requires no flying start but once
the machinery is set in motion 1t can
rise imediately into the air.
The two sets of planes are minia-
ture biplanes and the upper and low
er set rotate in opposite directions
| They are installed at an angle and
the speedy rotation gives it the tre-
mendous lifting power. 1t Is estimat-
ed the car will have a speed of from
Is to $50 miles an hour. According
to the computations made it is ex-
pected to be able to carry from 35 tc
40 passengers
| A company has been formed under
the name of the Coyne Helicoptel
Airship company and has miniature
models on exhibition here. The com.
pany is now planning the erection Of
a full-sized aeroplane.
