Tiflis, Nov. 12. A deafening bomb explosion occurred on Pethanski street svhile the police were making a search of an unoccupied house. The noise of the explosion was audible for a great
distance, and the entire city was shaken. Thne policemen were killed and fonr wounded. The police discovered some revolutionary proclamations under a bed in one of the rooms in this Louse. They then went to a window There was a ash of blue Came, folLured to Their Destruction. There was a flash of blue flame, followed immediately by the explosion, the force of which was so great that the body of a sergeant, one of the men killed, was hurled over a neighboring roof. The whole upper portion of the house fell in. It is apparent that a snaro had been arranged and the police lurtd into it. The police received a "tip" to search this particular house, which is located in the Tartar quarter of the city, and which had not been inhabited since the Tartar-Armenian massacres of last year. Robbers Use Bomb. Rogow. Russian Poland, Nov. 12. l arge detachment, of infantry and cavalry are searching for men wlo last Thursday night threw a bomb at the mail car of a train, which resulted in the death of several soldiers of the escort, and fled with a large sum of money, but up to this time the robbers have evaded capture.

Roads.
New York, Nov. 12. The question of a strike of the firemen on the Erie railroad system, because of the refusal of the officials of that company to grant the men's demands for reduced working hours, Is now being voted upon. The firemen's grievance committee has left its headauarters here to
take a poll of its fellow workmen. The committee began the canvass in New Jersey. The result of the vote probably will not be known until tomorrow.
f the firemen vote to uphold the com
mittee a strike will probably follow which will affect the Erie road and all of its subsidiary lines from New
York to Chicago. Besides the 1.C00 firemen on the road there are 675 locomotive engineers who have been promoted from the ranks of the firemen,
and who still carry firemen's union
cards. These engineers also will vote
on the question.
Engineers Are Restless, Too. Besides the secret conference of en
gineers here there was a meeting of
W est Shore railroad engineers at Un
on Hill, N. J. It Is reported that this
gathering related to the present rail
road situation. It was said on good au
thority that the marine engineers em
ployed on the tug boats and the ferry boats of the Erie railroad had
formulated a petition asking for an in
crease in pay of $20 a month and that
this demand will be pressed with the
demands of the Erie firemen.
Will Keep Their Contracts. Despite the developments, E. W
Hurley, assistant grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
when asked what the engineers on the
Erie would do if a strike of the fire
men took place, said: ' The engineers
are under a contract with the company
which will not be broken unless the
company breaks it. That contract can
not be nullified without thirty days'
notice being given by the side that
wishes to withdraw." .
Demand on FortySeven Roads.
Cleveland, Nov. 12. The riain-Peal-
er prints a long article on the different
phases of railroad wage controversies and one of tho mot important features
of it is a statement on the authority
of Grand Chief Eng'neer Wan-en M
Stone, of the International Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, that
employes of forty-seven railroads west
of Chicago have united In a demand
upon the roads for higher wages, short er hours and different, working condl
tions, and that the roads are given till Dec. 10 to make answer.
He II as Invaded Cape Colonv with
Eleven Bold Companions. London, Nov. 12. Sir Thomas
Fuller, agent general for Cape Colony in Londou, was asked about the re
port from Cape Town stating that a
conflict has occurred between a number of Boers recently employed in Ger
man Southwest Africa, and a detach
ment of the Cape police. The Boers
entered the northwestern part of Cape
Colony and endeavored to raise a re
bellion. The police were instructed to
suppress the movement. Sir Thomas at
taches no importance to the Ferreira
raid.
He believes the object to be only
robbery and plunder, and says the
country where Ferreira and his men are operating Is sparsely populated and
the farm houses widely separated. It is not impossible, however, that Ferreira may obtain some adherents- and
do some mischief. The Cape mount
ed rifles. Sir Thomas declares, are accustomed to guerrilla warfare, and will
have no dhbculty in dealing with this
situation.
Cape Town, Nov. 12. Advices re
ceived here from T'pington, on the Or
ange river, say that the Boer raider
Ferreira and his followers continue to
intimidate the farmers of that region
and have captured sbme traders and a few other persons. The raiders were
..thirty mile north of Fpington Satur
day, when they wore reported eleven
strong and accompanied by a number of armed natives. The official report
of the trouble says that a band of
Boers, led by Ferreira, recently em
rloyed in German Southwest Africa
entered the northwestern part of this colony a few days ago and surprised
a police camp in the vicinity of Wil
koj. wounding two troopers, seizing
their arms and ammunition and subse
quently capturing a corporal of police,
Pretoria, Nov. 12. Captain Smuth
who commanded a Boer detachment in
the late war, says that Ferreira and his men are merely robbers, and that
me siones or a noer uprising are purely moonshine. Considering the number of never-do-wells who have re
cently gone into the German territory
it is surprising, the captain says, that
similar occurrences have not been re
ported before.
GREAT THEATRICAL COMBINE

trionic Business for the IJarth, Perhaps Firms Involved. Chicago, Nov. 12. The Tribune says: The mosit gigantic theatrical combina
tion In the world, of which, the big
