Union, September. 25.--Specili:
Ten years ago Union was numbered
among the dead towns Of the State
and revival was almost an impossi.
bility. The old foges and mossbacks
predominated; they were satisfied with
the town and several Of them were
heard to express themselves to that ef.
feet. At last, however, the young Gle.
ment determined to AXE hold OF the
reins, and as a result there was gen.
eral shaking of dry bones and the old
town began to be awakened from its
Rip Van Winkle slumber. The first
industry to spring up in the county
was the Union Oil and Manufacturing
Company, which made little headway
for the first two or three yeara, but our
people had made start and they were
not willing to become discouraged,
and soon there was an effort on foot to
ibuild q cotton mill at the famous
iLockhart Shoals, some twelve miles
from town. There was enough stock
ssoon subscribed to justify the soiicita-
Etion of outside capital in the enter
kprise. This was soon secured, and the
swork was begun. Not long there
after it was determined to build o mill
in the town of Union. A meeting was
held, books Of subscription were OPEN
.ed and board of directors elected.
MR.. T. G. DUNCAN,
a young and progressive merchant Of
the town, who has since become fam
GUS as one OF the leading cotton mill
men of this country, was ele; ted preSi

AUTOMOBILE ON A TEAR.
Raises Ructions in Fifth Avenue and
Breaks Motorman's Leg.

An ordinary cab, a horseless car
riage, bicycle policeman and a crowd
of about 800 people all assisted in max
ing Fifth avenue, between Forty-ninth
and Fifty-third streets, a lively place
last night. The horseless carriage was
the liveliest performer for the greater
part of the time. Although finally
subdued by the bicycle policeman it
put its motorman out of business and
sent him to Flower Hospital with his
right leg broken.
Joseph Mclaughlin, a cab driver
was the cause of all the trouble. At
7:45 O'Clock he turned into Fifth
avenue, not looking over-carefully
where he was going. Geo. Dugree
was seated on his automobile at
Forty-ninth street, waiting for a Gus
toner. Mclaughlin did not see the mo-
tionless automobile until it was too
late to avoid a collision, and the two
vehicles came together with a crash
which threw Dugree from his seat. In
falling he tried to save himself by
grabbing at the thing nearest him.
That CHANGED - be the lever that turns
on the power. At the moment that Dug
reefs head hit the street the automobile
started up Fifth avenue at its highest
rate of speed.
The devil himself might have been
in that automobile 1t ran straight for
a little more than a block, and then
suddenly swerved in toward the curb,
bringing up with a bank. Then it
tried again. and this time got on the
sidewalk. II ran along the sidewalk a
little distance and then bumped into
one of the houses. Then it changed its
mind and started to turn around in
short circles. These circles gradually
widened. and then it left the sidewalk
and took to the street again.
In the meantime, Policeman Clarkin,
of the bicycle squad, had run into the
street and had picked Dugree up. The
motorman was not badly hurt and he
and the policeman ran after the run
away automobile and soon caught M

with it. There was crowd around
the thing by this time, making feeble
bluffs at stopping it, but more of the
time trying to dodge its eccentric
movements. Clarkin tried to CLIMB
I'D on the machine to shut on the
power. but the automobile lodged him
successfully. Dugree was better ac-
uuainted with the machine and he at
last succeeded in climbing up to his
seat. But the automobile was not
ready yet to resign its freedom. IL
acted like a runaway mule and imme-
diately shook Dugree off his perch.
This time Dugree was not so lucky IN
his fall. He landed on the pavement
and the automobile, before he had time
to rise, ran over him, breaking his
right leg.
Then the horseless carriage darted
up Fifth avenue for another half a
block, and again resumed its crazy
circling about. The street was well
filled with carriages of people on their
way to the theatres and the scrambles
20 get out of the way and the shouts of
the people who were enjoying the fun
created a commotion the like of which
Fifth avenue had not seen for many a
day.
Finally, at the corner of F'ifty-third
street, the carriage again got on the
sidewalk. 1t was here that Clarkin
saw his chance AS the machine
bumped into one of the houses, he
jumped and turned off the power. The
crowd seemed disappointed. The
automobile was not damaged. Nc
Laughlin was arrested and taken to the
East Fifty-first street station, where
the sergeant decided he could go free
to take his chances in a civil suit.
Dugree was taken to Flower Hospital.
He will be unable to move for several
weeks.-New York Sun.

MODEL HOMES.
The Girard Estate Will Build Houses
for Workingmen.

Unique in every way will be the 100
residences which the Girard estate will
erect during the coming II months in
South Philadelphia. Not content to
provide homes of the customary type
for the city's wage earners, the trustees
have just approved a series of plans
which, while not entirely original, are
now, for probably the first time, ap-
piled to city operations.
Porter street, between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth streets, is a part of the
Girard estate, and on this site the
trustees have determined to erect 100
houses which, when completed, will
rent for from $25 to $2S per month
each Something entirely new to Phila-
delphia, though in successful operation
in many of the suburbs will be intro
duced by the trustees of the estate
electric lights from their own plant
These will be furnished to tenants for
the nominal sum of SO a month. In
addition to this landscape gardener
will be employed to keep in perfect
condition the gardens which will be
laid out in front of every house in the
row. This innovation will not only
beautify the premises, but it is pre-
dicted, will materially enhance the
value of the property. The services
of the gardener, will be at the disposal
of those occupying the houses free of
charge, and it will be his sole duty to
beautify the parkings under his charge.
The houses are to be built of brick
and stone, two and one-half stories
front, on lots $50 feet deep. The
private architect for the Girard estate
made the drawings, but the contract
mas not as yet been given out. Direct
ly opposite this proposed block of ideal
modern residences will be located the
Girard Park, which will add greatly to
the attractiveness and desirablity of
the property for residential purposes.
improvements such as paving the
street at their own expense have al
ready begun, and no effort or expense
will be spared by those having the
matter in charge to make this property
popular with tenants possessing only
moderate ncomes.-Philadelp North
American.
