and will receive her sardonyx ring, which
she wanted him to have.
1T is as though | had beer climbing the

AUTO TRIP SPOILED.
Members OF Party Suspect . Farmer Sold
Them Benzine for Gasoline.

Them Benzine for Gasolene.
MoNTcLAIR, N. J.i June "A large auto
mobile in which were seated a party of o u
men on a sightseeing trip through northern
New Jersey became stalled at the top OF
the mountain near the Verona line last
night. The supply Of gasolene had become
exhausted and C. A. Shearson, a New York
broker, who was one of the party, sent to
Montclair for some. While the messenger
was en- route to Montclair a farmer driving
a wagon approached the party and asked
as to whether he could render any assistance.
you can il you have any gasolene in your
wagon" was the reply. That's just
what [ have" came the response. and soon
the tank was filled.
The chauffeur filed the tank without
extinguishing the rear or forward lights
and in q moment a terrific explosion oc-
CURED. Thu chauffeur was terribly burned
about the body and the automobile was
damaged to the extent Of $500. A carriage
hurried the injured man to the hospital,
where he is In q serious condition, suffering
from burns about the abdomen and legs.
It IL said by the members Of the auto
mobile party thai the accident was due to
the fact that the farmer had furnished
benzine instead Of gasolehe, while others
who are familiar with the running Of auto
mobiles say that the explosion occurred
because the chauffeur had failed TO e3-
tinguish the lights Of the machine before
reflling the tank. The automobile party
stored their machine and tool a train for
New York. The farmer has not been seen
since.

UTICA, June 2.-Five hundred employees
Of the Roberts Wioks Company Of this city,
manufacturers Of clothing, went on strike
to-day for a ffty-four hour week. There
will be meetings Of the cutters and the
garment workers on Monday, when steps
will be taken by the strikers to settle the
differences which exist between the COM
pany and it's employees. Employees Of
the company quit work about a month ago
because an agreement to give them a fifty
four week was not signed.
The step taken then was without the sane
ton of the head Of the garment workers
and they returned to work, with the under
standing that the United Garment Workers
would take up thei rclaims on June 1. Yes
terday a formal demand was made on the
Roberts Wicks Company and it was re-
fused. The union label was thereupon
withdra WI and the company in return de-
clared for the open shop. Over 500 cutters
and garment workers walked out to-day as

P1TTsBURo, June 2.-For two weeks a
female bandit has been terrorizing farmers
who sell their produce at the Allegheny
market. The woman would appear in the
roadway with two revolvers and command
the farmers to throw up their hands.
Several farmers reported that she had
got considerable sums from them, but the
Allegheny police paid little attention to the
matter.
This morning Jonathan Williams Of
Shaler township reported that the woman
had held him up last evening and had
robbed him of $40. officer Charles Busha
was sent out to investigate and arrested
Maggie Brown, aged 4S, who was living in
a hut near the scene Of last nights holdup.
She was identified by Williams, although
she wore a mask when the robbery was
committed.
The Brown woman, who is we'll known
to the Allegheny, police as a pickpooket,
finally admitted that she had turned high
wayman. Around her neck she had a
purse in which was $500 in money. She

erson was sailing the cow at his farm,
when the animal rushed on him from the

and in his young days had been taught to
buck like a goat, but no one had ever been
injured by him.

A city girl writes: cit is fond
dream Of mine to become a farmer
wife and meander with him down
life's pathway"
That is nice thing, but when
your husband meanderssoff and leaves
you without wood, and you have to
meander up and down the road pull
ing splintels off the rail fence to cook
dinner, and when you meander along
the wet grass in search of the cows
till your shoes are the color of raw
hide, and your stockings soaked, and
when you meander out across twenty
acres of plowed ground with club to
drive the hogs ont of the cornfield,
and. tear your dress OH the barb wire
fence, when you nleander back home
to the house, find that the billy goat
has butted the stuffin' out of your
child, and find the old hen, with
forty chickens in the house, you'll
put your hands OH your hips and
realize that mean dering is not what
1t is cracked up to be.

FANNlN.

AS the roads are discussed great deal
at present, and no one has advocated a
remedy, or plan for their betterment, will
submit the following: That the people
petition the board to issue fifty thousand
dollars worth of bonds to mature in fifteen
years, and plank fifty miles of the most
important of the leading highways, each
beat receiving its pro rata of the total, let
ting it out by contract, giving it to the
best bidder. Each member of their re-
spective beats to say where said improve
ments should be made; contractors to keep
said road in repair five years. 1t seems to
me that an intelligent and progressive
people would want better system of
roads. submit this in hopes some one
will evolve another, if not better one.
