Will Be Settled.

Millville, N. j., Aug. .-Notwith-
standing the fact that the scale of
wages of the Glass Bottle Blowers
Association has not been decided as
yet, there seems to be feeling of
confidence existing among the work
men that all differences will be speed.
lily adjusted. Those workmen who
are employed in the West are prepar-
ing to leave for their winter homes,
and the consensus Of opinion is that
the next conference between the Ex-
ecutive Committee and the manufac-
turers will settle all points.
Although the scale has been settled
as far as the machine workers are
concerned, yet this branch will not
resume work until the scale is settled
for those who work by hand.
In this city drying fires have been
placed in many of the factories, and
this is never done except shortly be-

HOUSE BURNED
TO THE GROUND

The residence of Charles Price, on
the Simon Loatman property au Gould
town, was burned down Saturday
afternoon, and nearly all his household
goods and clothing were consumed.
The Prices went on the Gouldtown
band excursion to Fortescue Saturday
morning. leaving everything secure,
as they thought, at home. They had
had fire in the kitchen to get break
fast by, but this, they said, had all
burned out before they left home, to
take the 7.15 a. m. trolley car for
Fortescue.
Shortly after two O'Clock in the
afternoon Joseph Webster, who resides
about half mile away, saw flames
issuing from the roof over the kitchen.
He and Edward Stewart, another
neighbor, hastened to the house and
found the upper story all aflame. They
broke in the rooms below and hastily
got out what furniture they could.
There was, of course, no means to
light the fire, which had made such
Roadway, and the house was burned to
the ground.
How the fire originated is mys
terry. 1t might have been from burn
ing SCOT from the chimney which had
slumbered in some crevice on the roof
until famed by the wind into blaze.
1t was thought at first it was of in
cendiary origin, but there seems to be
no grounds for such an idea. The
house was probably worth $500 or $4OO.
The Prices were telephoned to at
Newport, that their house was burned
down.

assistance and Justice Hall was sent

One of her ankles was injured and
badly swollen, and the Doctors ex-

small bones was apparently fractured.
She was bruised and otherwise injured

AN AUTO AND
BICYCLE COLLIDE

A frightful accident occurred yester-
day afternoon about $50 O'Clock, an
automobilist and bicyclist colliding.
The distressing affair occurred on East
Commerce street almost in front of
the MCPHERSON Furniture Go. IS store.
Frank Brenn, of the West Jersey
freight depot. was, with his wife, go.
ing west on Commerce street in their
runabout automobile. Mr.. Brenn has
long had his machine and has repu.
tation OF being most careful driver
and never speeds his machine in town
Those who witnessed yesterdays ac.
cident say Mr.. Brenn was not driving
more than 8 miles an hour.
Down Commerce street hill. about
the same time, came George Purneli,
a young colored man of 20 years.
Some say he was ooasting. At any
rate he dashed over the bridge pretty
fast. Brenn saw Purnell coming and
steered his machine to the right. Mr..
Brenn says that Purnell steered his
bicycle straight for the automobile.
Brenn then quickly threw his machine
to the other side of the street, and
Purnell swerved over in the same di-
rection on his wheel. Again Brenn
turned to the right and then Purnell
made another swerve and crashed into
the automobile.
Brenn promptly stopped his ma.
chine, the automobile not going more
than twenty feet. Purnell was thrown
across the dash board of the car and
carried the distance the machine ran.
Purnell must have caught his right
leg in some way in the bicycle for the
leg was fearfully hurt, there being
compound fracture sustained.
He was carried into the office of DR..
VIM. Kirchhoff, and that physician
with DIR. Sites treated the injury and
later the young man was removed to
the Sites Hospital on East avenue,
where he was doing nicely this morn.

HIS LOST LOVE
CAUSES SUICIDE

Salem, N. j., Aug. 16. 6.-Disappoint.
ment in love led Charles Lawrence,
an aged citizen of this town, to kill
himself by hanging in the doorway of
his home, on Olive street, this morn.
ing. He was 81 years old and is re.
pnted to have been very wealthy.
For many months he paid attention
to young dresssmaker whose age is
less than half hisyown. She is pretty
and winsome, and, according to Law.
rence's own admission, he grew to love
her we'll. She appeared to receive his
attentions with favor and persons who
knew them thought the affair would
end in marriage.
It was for younger man that Law
renee was turned away. He could not
believe in his ill fortune at first, and
persisted in his attentions after he had
been rejected by the woman. When
he finally realized that his love was
hopeless, the prospect of his lonely old
age led to suicide. He has told
friend that there was nothing more to
live for, and wished that his life was
at an end.
Few persons in Salem did not know
that the old man had been discouraged
in his attentions to the young dress
maker. His actions were evidence
Of his detection. In place of wearing
good clothes as he had been accustomed
formerly to do, he became careless and
untidy in appearance. From kind.
hearted. benevolent old man he became
moody and morose. and was sometimes
quarrelsome. He walked about the
streets, speaking to none of his old
friends and glaring fierceiy at the
children, with whom he had once
been friendly.
Early yesterday morning Lawrence
was seen by the neighbors pacing up
and down in the little yard before his
house on Olive street. His hands were
clasped behind his back and his eyes
were fixed on the ground before him.
presently he went indoors and man
who was working next door heard a
noise as of chair falling. The sui
eide was discovered by W. P. Robin.
son. one of the few residents of the
town with whom Lawrence was still
on speaking terms. He went to the
house on business shortly after z
O'Clock and knocked on the door.
When no one came to open it he went
around the house and entered by rear
door, which was unlocked, facing as
he opened it, the swinging body of the
old man, which was suspended by a
rope in the doorway of shed adjoin-
ing the kitchen.
A chair on which he had climbed to
adjust the moose lay where he had
kicked, it a few feet distant.
Robinson summoned DR.. Hummel,
who came at once, but Lawrence had
been dead several minutes. Coroner
Dean was notified, and, after an ex :.
animation of the corpse, gave it in
charge Of an undertaken.
For many years Lawrence had lived
in the house in which he killed him.
