the hair and eyebrows come out, and often
the body is covered with copper-colored
spots, pustular eruptions and sores.
There is hardly any limit to the rava-
ges of Contagious Blood Poison; if it is not
driven from the blood it affects the nerves,
attacks the bones, and in extreme cases
causes tumors to form on the brain, pro-
ducing insanity and death. No other dis
ease is so highly contagious; many an inno-

AUTO CAUSED TROUBLE.

Hit a Dog, Frightened Horses and
Was Put Out of Business.
A general miXup of a dog, automo-
bile and ice wagon occurred in Am
boy avenue, between Main street and
Johnson avenue, about 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, when a large
Newfoundland dog started to cross
the avenue just as a touring a
came rushing down to catch the fer
Iyboat at the foot of Bentley street.
The ponderous machine struck the
dog squarely and came very near kill
ing it. In the chauffeur's attempt to
escape hitting him he brought the
machine to such a sudden stop that
he put his engine completely out of
business. He had to be towed to the
ferry, where temporary repairs were
made and he proceeded on his Jour
ney across the sound.
While the machine was andin
in Amboy avenue, near the church of
st. Stephen, a team of horses belong
ing to Androvett & Morrissey, the ice
dealers of Kreischerville, took fright
at it and started to run away. They
dashed up on the sidewalk and came
very near upsetting the wagon.
which was loaded with ice. But for
the quickness of the driver, who held
them down, they would have done
considerable damage.

NARROW ESCAPE IN I
AWEXCITTNC RUNAWAY
Traces on Stage Broke and Fright
en6d Horses Vehicle Upset and
Occupants Thrown Out.

An exciting runaway took place in
ARabQy avenue abou $3.50 o'clock last
nighH when a horse belonging to
Julius HUH, of Kreischerville, who
* employed at the S. S. White Den
tai Works at Princes Bay, and also
drives a stage carrying employees to

ing, had just started to cross the
track at the Princes Bay station
when one of the traces broke. The
horse became frightened at the
breaking of the harness and dashed
down the road toward Amboy ave-
nue.. But Just before he reached the
avenue HUH, who was driving at the
time, guided him into an electric
light pole, throwing the, wagon on its
side, smashing the top and breaking
the shafts, which freed the animal
from the wagon. He continued on
his wild run down Amboy avenue
through Pleasant Plains, barely miss
ing running into several stages that
were also returning from the factory
lat the time. He also came very near
striking the stage of John Hume, of
Amboy avenue, hwen he first started
10 run away. Several other wagons
and people crossing the street had
narrow escapes as the horse dashed
on. He was finally caught after an
exciting chase, at the risk of. his life,
by John Jensen, at Brehaut avenue,
who resides at $50 Amboy venue
The occupants of the stage were
thrown out but none was injured.
John Huber, of Kreischerville, who
was riding on the front seat. was
caught under one of the front wheels
when the stage upset. He was taken
out none the worse for his exper-
fence.
The horse was cut in several places
about the legs.
Those in the stage at the time
were John and Cahrles Huber, Will
liam Cutting, John Young, Theodore
Farroat and his son Theodore, Con-
rad .Wilkie and Benjamin Wolff.

THE ROAD

Considerable interest is being
manifested in the road question. The
Taxpayers and Citizens Association,
through their counsel, John r. Con-
molly, will bring the matter before
the borough council Monday night.
The road in question runs from
Woodbridge avenue to the old Blaz-
ing Star landing and divides the the
buildings of the Chrome Steel Com
pany's plant. The latter recently
erected a fence closing that part of
the street on which their works are
located.
Edwin s.. Quin addressed a com-
m%unication to the borough council
protesting against the action of the
Steel Company, and the matter was
referred o the street committee. That
was over a month ago, but no inves-
tlgation, apparently, was made by
the committee, and the Taxpayers
and Citizens Association took up the
question and retained Lawyer Con-
molly to search the records. Mr..
Connolly, in an interview with an
EVENING NEWS reporter Tuesday
night, declared that there is not the
slightest doubt rs to the borough's
right to the road. THE Chrome
Company" said Mr.. Connolly, ARE
trespassers pure and simple, and the,
records are plain enough to satisfy
the most sceptical."

kitchner has a new fish net :
he was having mended a few .

strong in some places and could be
very easily torn in others. Thinking
that some foul play had been going
on he gave the net an examination
and found that some kind of acid had
been put on the net. He made an in
vestigation and brought a charge
against Marshall. Marshall did not
deny the charge, but claimed that
another man was implicated in the
affair. He was released on a $lO0
bond, which he easily secured.
