MAY CHANGE IT
Location of Greenmont Bridge
May Be Modified.
Landing May Be Made Directly Oppo-
site Peasants street In Greenmont-
People Interested In Change will
Make Up Difference In Many
Advantages In The New Plan.

MANY ~ All NOSt 4AE1I
Advantages In The New Plan.
Another hitch has occurred in the
progress toward completion of the
Morgantown s. Greenmont bridge.
Nothing is being done on the strue-
ture just now but the delay will not
make any difference as the iron is
not ready for shipment. When 1t
will arrive is not yet known. 1t was
to have been completed on May first
but it cannot be done by that time
under the present circumstances.
The landing on the Greenmont side
is what is bothering the promoters.
One of the property owners over there
is showing an inclination to make
trouble for the builders and they do
not know what will be done about IT.
No definite proposition has as yet
been received.
1t may end in another landing
being selected. In case it does the
bridge will so straight across instead
OF having turn ia it. Those who
would be benefited by the proposed
change are very anxious to get il done
and they are offering substantial in.
ducements to the promoters to MAKE
the change.
If it is made it will add nothing to
the cost as far as the present stock
holders are concerned as the difference
will be more than made up by those
who want the change. Several thous
and dollars have been pledged.
At the same time it will be as cen
yenient to the lands of those who
originated the plan as the present
location is and it would be better in
many other respects. The stone work
would have to be moved but it is all
on the ground and is cut SO sthat it
would be changed without much addi-
tional expense. This will delay the
completion,of the bridge for a few
weeks but it will not prevent It's final
building.
The promoters state that the bridge
will be built and that shortly, but
what will be done with the present
difficulty they do not know aud can
not decide until the matter is placed
before them ia s6me tangible shape.

TWO CENTS
LEApED TO DEATH.
Through Coke Ovens Mouth
He Went.


Unknown Nan Chose Frightfnl Meth
od of Committing Suicide--n Body Was
Quickly Rescued Took Run aud
Jump. Bounding Directly Into the
Fiery Furnace Burned TO shape
less Mass.
CoNNELLsyILLE, Pa, April TO-
An unknown man committed suicide
this morning at the foundry works
OF the IL. G. Frick Coke Company by
diving into a coke oven A more
tragic death never occurred The
man, whose identity Is unknown,
was not seen about the ovens until
his actions preparatory To making
the leap attracted attention. Then
the coke workers saw him only for
an instant. Heappeared well dress
ed, above the medium height and
weight and smooth shaver.
Behind the ovens the ground
rises gently. Up there the unknown
was first observed For the slight
est possible space Of time he seemed
to pause, then quick as flash he
ran down the slope. Eight feet from
the oven tops the man shot into the
air, his hands poised above his head
in the fashion of diver, and de-
seending swiftly, dropped head first
into the tunnel head of an oven that
had burned to the sizzling white
heat of coke just before it is drawn.
sQulRMED THROUGH THE OPENING.
For an instant the body clogged
the trunnel head and the legs wrig-
gled as though u desperate effort
was being made to squirm through
and meet death quickly. How the
body ever got through the opening,
which was new one and onay Ia
inches in diameter, is a mystery. A
puff of smoke, followed by little tom
cues of blue flames leaped back from
the oven the instant the body had
landed. A rush was made for the
oven door by the Mortified coke
drawers It was smashed down aud
staIwart fellow thrust a huge
scraper into the oven and drew out
the body. 1t was brought TO the
morgue of Morris Il Co, here this
evening. There is nothing about it
that could serve as means Of iden-
LITIGATION. 1t will be buried to NOR
row.
WAS NOT A LABoRER.
From the foundry it is reported
that man named John Pratt is
missing and that he may have been
