UNION OF TRADES COUNCILS.
An Effort TO IIarmonize Warning
builders Organizations.

The greater part Of the session OF the
Building Trades Council last night was
taken up with the discussion of the
proposition TO affiliate with the National
Building Trades Council
Since the disagreement between the two
factions OF the local building trades. about
two years ago. which resulted in the dis
ruption Of the local council, the local
trades examinations have had no national
afhliation.
After the disruption OF the local council
the two factions formed organizations.
each Of which claimed TO be the legally
constituted body OF the local building
trades Each sought for recognition by
the national body. but this was not ac-
corded either. An effort was then made
BY the opposing factions to reconcile their
differences, but without success Each
faction maintained its Organization for
some time. but finally one of them dis
banded for the purpose Of forming a
building trades section within the Cen
trail Labor Union.
Some months ago the body which had
maintained its organization was invited
by the national body to affiliate with II.
The matter was taken up last night again
for consideration. and after some discus
sion favoring the suggestion II was re-
ferred TO the several individual building
trades for action.
well posted member Of the council
stated that IT is very probable that the
local trades VIII form an alliance with
the national organization.

THE large screen that stood a the
doorway between the two rooms would
offer an excellent hiding place in the
way in which it stood. doubled toto a

The general opinion Of the officers Is
that il was either the work OF an insane
person or woman. No man In his right
mind would have ever been guilty OF SO
brutal crime, they contend. and it ap-
pears to be more the work of a frCnziel
woman than of anyone else.
jealousy ns Motive.
The main efforts Of the officers are dl-
rected toward finding motive for the
crime. Jealousy seems to be the only ten
able one and it is believed that 1t will
resolve itself into this. At the present
time all is theorizing. and the police are
actually as much at sea as they were in
the beginning.
All their hopes we're centred in the Gar
field Hospital last night and they look for
some statement from Mrs Dennis today.

at the hospital. AT neon yesterday, fol-
lowing the removal Of Mrs. Dennis from
her home, IIartigan was detailed to guard
her bedside Later in the day Horne wa
sent to The hospital 1t was hoped tina
some statement might be secured from
the patient. during moment OF con
scicUsnCss.
No such statement was made. as Mrs
Dennis did not regain consciousness for
any length of time. Only once. and that
early in the afternoon. did she refer at
all to the assault upon her.
Even then she spoke incoherently, so
that a name she mentioned was all that
could be understood. 1t is even doubted
whether this was correctly given by the
patient.

Death of Mr.. Jacob l.. Edlavitch.

Mr. Jacob l.. Edlavitch, the we'll
known merchant and highly respecte
citizen of this town, died at his home
about midnight on Tuesday after a
short illness. He was in the prime OF
life. being in the 3oth year of bis age,
and had had remarkably active and
successful career. About eighteen
years ago he came here with scarcely
a dollar and by indomtable energy,
tact and business sagacity he had risen
to be a most successful merchant and
had recently established and equipped
a large Department store that would
be a credit to any town. His business
had grown to such an extent that lie
was obliged to employ a number OF
persons in various capacities, and he
was in many ways a useful and lnflu-
entail citizen whose death will be
greatly felt. Mr.. Edlavitch was post
master for several years but resigned
on account of the demands of his bust
ness and was succeeded by his brother
in-law, the present postmaster tie
was elected one OF the Town Commits
sioners last Spring, and was also APP
pointed by the Road Commissioners
one of the road trustees for Marlboro
district.
The immediate cause of his death
was paralysis, with which he was
stricken early on Sunday morning.
He had been suffering for some weeks
past with his eyes and had been under
treatment by DR.. Herbert Harlan, an
eminent specialist in Baltimore, who
was called in consultation with DIR.
Griffith "n Sunday night. DIR. Bevan
and DR.. Preston, of Baltimore, were
also called in on Monday night, but
medical skill could do nothing to relieve
the patient.
The domestic life of Mr.. Ellavitch
was very happy. lie was married
about fourteen years ago to sister OF
Messrs. Morris and William |. Wolf.
One child, a daughter, six years old,
and the widow survive. for whom the
sincerest sympathy of the whole com
munity is felt.
The remains were taken to Baltl-
more on Wednesday afternoon and
inferred yesterday according to the
Hebrew ritual.
