THEIR LAST CHANCE.
Lnckawnnnn School Board to Make Final
Attempt to Organize This Evening.

Ten days.will have elapsed tomorrow
since the first Monday in June, the date
the law has fixed for school boards in
boroughs or townships to elect officers
and orgnize for business
The school board of Lackawanna
township met on Monday. June 8, but
did not organize, because there oc-
cured a deadlock in the election of a
treasurer. The contest was and still Is
between Thomas r. Lowering, of Green
wood, and William Morgan, of the
Archibald mines. The board consists
of six members, four Republicans and
two Democrats; but the treasurership
was sought by two Republicans, and
each of them got a Democrat to side
with him. Thomas King has voted for
Lowering and Patrick Higgins for Nor
gan. That caused deadlock, but Hig-
gins is aspiring to be secretary, and
that office will not be filled until a
treasurer is first elected. Griffith T.
Davis and Mr.. King will stick to Low
ering and whether Morgan Is sure of
Higgins support may be questioned. If
Higgins would vote for Lowering, Low
ering's contingent would vote for him
for secretary and that would end the
matter.
Something must be done this evening,
as the school laws read as follows:
IF the school directors neglect to or
ganize within ten days after the first
Monday in June, 1t is such neglect of
duty as will justify the court of quarter
sessions, upon the complaint Of six tax
able citizens of the district, and upon
due proof thereof, to declare their seats
vacant and appoint others in their
stead"
The Lackawanna school board will
meet this evening and it may be pos
sible that the four Republicans will
confer and take both offices, electing
Lowering treasurer, and Morgan Sec
retary, the latter preferring to take
secretary, than, perhaps, nothing at
all.
If they do not organize this evening,
there are certain citizens awaiting
the chance to apply to court to unseat
them.

FELL FROM THE BRIDGE.
First Accident on the New Linden Street
Structure.

The first accident to workmen on
the new Linden street bridge happened
yesterday afternoon at 3.15 o'clock,
when Frank Stangle, a resident OF st.
Louis, fell twenty feet, from the false
scaffoldlng, now being erected to the
Central railroad tracks, beneath.
Stangle is employed by Foreman
Sheedy, of the bridge construction
company, and was engaged in placing
a heavy piece of timber in joist. Sew
eral other workmen were pressing
down on one end of the beam, and all
except Stangle released their weights
from the timber.
The unfortunate man clung on and
was lefted from the narrow foot board
a few feet into the air. Upon attempt
ing to drop to the board he missed it
and, after clutching vainly at the ad-
joining beams, was precipitated to the
tracks.
He landed on this left side, and lay
helpless until fellow workmen carried
him to a nearby shanty.
The Lackawanna ambulance was
summoned and the injured man taken
to that institution, where it was found
that he had severe contusions of the
legs and body. There were no in
ternal injuries and Stangle will be able
to be out and about in a short time
He is unmarried and lives temporarily
on the West Side.

With A Dull Table knife
The Instrument with Which an In

band Did Nothing TO Assist Her.

That one-half Of the world does not
know how the rest live was exempli-
fled yesterday In the case of Mrs. Thom-
as Albramski, of Stafford street, Green
wood She, suffering from an 'unbal-
anced mind, tried to end her life by
cutting her throat with a table knife,
but the edge was dull and the attempt
was unsuccessful. Yet she succeeded
in slashing herself in such q horrible
manner that 1t was for a time uncertain
whether she would live or die.
The lurid part of the tale IS that she
laid weltering in her life blood from
$50 in the morning until after the noon
hour and no assistance was rendered to
save her life, II necessary, or alleviate
her pain. The husband was present,
but he either cared little for her, or was
too ignorant to understand the situ-
alton,

appliances usual in such cases. DR..
Weston. after examining her, pro-
nounced the wound not a fatal one.
Late in the evening the Greenwood
Coal company's ambulance conveyed
her to the hospital. The surgeons
there state that she will be well in a
short time.
Her age is between 30 and 40 years
and she has two boys, who work slate
picking in the Greenwood colliery. Her
husband works In the mines for the
same company. They live in a small
house owned by Patrick Powell, of
Greenwood; and in the morning when
the husband and the boys were prepar-
ing to go to work, she got up. and got
their breakfast No signs of madness
were noticed in her actions until AL
bramski was about to leave the house;
she begged hard to be allowed to go
with him to help him load the coal.
Fonnd Her Lying on Floor.
He left unknown to rer and when he
had gone twenty feet from the house,
her screams caused him to return, and
he found her lying on the floor, still
slashing away at her throat with the
knife. Had he not stopped her the
coroner would have another inquest
He did not make known his wife's
condition, nor try in any manner to do
anything for her. 1t was found out by
accident along toward noon by some of
the children in the neighbrhood.
As soon as she gets well the husband
will, he says, have her incarcerated in
al insane asylum. He said to a Trib-
une correspondent that she has not
been properly rational for a few years,
but he did not think that she would be-
)me so violent as to try suicide.

purdy's Strange Case.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The strange case Of Abram Purdy,
particulars of which you gave in your is
sue of last Saturday, continues to grow
more strange hourly. / have had an ex-
tended experience as hospital nurse, but
/ have never yet met a case that is so pc
ouliar as his. He is still alive, and Won
derful to relate, Is now taking no nour-
ishment at all. He refuses to take any
more laudanum and this morning called
for water. l gave him a glass and he
drank about tablespoonful through a
rubber tube. His reason seems to be as
rational as In years gone by. He spoke
to me this morning on a matter that hap
pened In 1859, and related the particulars
of 1t with great faithfulness.
