assertion is made by labor representa-
tives that when the time comes tho
unions not at present affected by the
lockout some twenty-five i'm number
win positively refuse 10 work beside
nonunon mon. The defiant attitude OF
the unions Is shown Ia the fact that
strikes have been ordered on several

ing trades unions and their helpers

kabage returned from work he became
angered at finding his wife away and
worked himself into a fury which
finally brought on a fit to which he
is subject, and the man for the time
being became a raving maniac.
When his wife came home he at once
began to upbraid her until. fearing for
her life ran screaming into the street.
Her cries attracted the attention of the
neighbors and a crowd soon collected.
but none were daring enough to enter
the house where the crazy man was
storming and raving.
Finally word was telephoned to New
Castle and officer Tobin was soon upon
the scene. Without hesitation the Off
Ger entered the house and in "A short
time reappeared at the door followed

VOTERS ARE NEGLIGENT

Not AS Many Have Quail
fed AS This Time Two
Years Ago

The registration on Saturday was not
near as large as had been expected. The
number that qualified on Saturday was
1853 compared with 25i5 for the second day
of two years ago. The total registration
30 far this year is iie6 compared with 4iol
for the first two days of TWO years ago.
Why this falling off should occur no one
can explain as this is the year of presi-
DENTAL election and there was only a con-

As there are still three more registration

When at It's height the wind blew a
hurricane. In this city the maximum
velocity was forty-iye miles, and was
attained at 500 o'clock this afternoon.
At Block Island, Il. +. there was Il
seventy six mile gale, and at Nantucket
a velocity Of sixty miles was recorded.
The storm passed east tonight and was
severe IN Maine and the maritime pro-
sinees
At Portland, Me-, at II o'clock the
wind was increasing IN velocity and
would, the observer at the local weather
bureau said, reach hurricane dimensions.
1t was believed by the weather bureau
officials here that the storm which swept
along the New England coast would meet
q storm which had its origin IN the Viz
cinity Of the Great Lakes, but the lake
storm was diverted and passed along the
st. Lawrence river valley.
The coast storm was accompanied BY

Mangled BY Train In Rut-

body Of james Kent was found ii the
local railroad yard about $3.50 o'clock
this morning. The man was rnn over
by the cars some time early this morn.
ing but Just how the accident occurred
will probably never be known. The
body was discovered BY Fred Smith, a
switchman, who was going through the
yard about a;3O o'clock. Smith first
found a foot and then leg and part
of the mans head. The body was found
wedged in between the trucks Of coal
car with the stump Of one leg sticking
out between the wheels.
Mayor j. S. Carder, Chief Of Police
Newton and Alderman Maagan were
summoned and the body removed to the
undertaking rooms Of John Clifford The
right leg was cut off above the knee, the
left foot above tlle ankle and the whole
top and back Of the head, including the
eyes and one ear were gone.
As far as can be learned the last time
Kent was seen alive was at 1850 o'clock
this morning when he was at the local
depot 1t is stated by men who saw
him that lie was intoxicated at that
time Kent was % years of age and
was marble polisher by trade. He
was formerly employed at the Vermont

Goddard is easily the champion pre-

II there are any to contest the title,
it's time for them to announce them-
