sistants Wilbur F. Day, jr., and Rob
ert Mack have made tour Of the town
in search for hazardous fire condi-

while fire-escapes were found blocked

Weigh the MIX.

Two people in the COW test associa-
tons We're planning to trade cows;
but, knowing what each COW was do
ing, the man starting the trade called
1t off because he found his cow the
better Of the two. Can you afford not
to weigh your milk? 1t takes only a
few seconds per COW, adding up only
about five minutes per milking time,
and the satisfaction of knowing what
they are doing is worth much. We
naturally suppose when cows are put
up In the fall that they shrink. but it
is not always so, as the scale and test
will show You. Professor Percy Camp
bell, University Of Maine.

NEAR DEATH FROM GAS.
Three Men Overcome while Repair
ing Leaky Gas Main.

Three Men Overcome while Repair
ing Leaky Gas Main.
While repairing break in six-inch
main of the Morristown Gas Light Co.
near the Methodist parsonage this
morning three employees Of the COM
pany were overcome by the escaping
gas, and after the administering Of
first aid two were taken TO Memorial
hospital and the other went home.
They were Joseph T. Williams, Dan
iel Connors and John Spring.
The work was under the supervision
of Douglas Consalvo. A Iiece of the
broken pipe was cut out and the two
ends Of the main were stopped by the
insertion of rubber bags filed with air.
One OF the bags burst and Spring was
overcome temporarily by the gas He
was taken out and soon revived, and
Consalvo went to the office of the COM
pany TO report to Manager Eugene "a
Matthews after telling the men to stay
ont Of the excavation antil his return.
While he was away Williams went
down.into the hole and was overcome
by the gas.
Spring pluckily went down after him
though still suffering from his own
desc OF the deadly gas He raised
Williams upand called for Connors but
fell back into the ditch before Connors
could get to him. Connors went down
after the two men but felt the fumes
grip him. and had just strength
enough to crawl from the hole.
His cries for aid brought Manning
Day, Everitt ]. Whitehead and Others
who went down into the hole, and
brought the men up.
Mr.. Mathews saw by the gauge in his
Office that something was amiss and
hurried with Consalvo to the scene.
He started first-aid treatment on Will
Jams, while similar aid was given
Spring. Connors soon revived. and went
home.
DIR. George +. Johnson and DR.. Fran
els Fl. Glazebrook soon arrived and
brought the two men around after
moving them into Smith g. Holly's Of
fee. but not before oxygen was admin
istered to Williams.
The gas company officials assert the
broken main was caused by the set
Ting of the sewer ditch, and say that
several similar breaks have occurred in
different sections of the town. They
are bitter in their denunciations Of the
work of Sever Contractor Costa, tell
| ing of one case where the gas main
was broken by the contractors men, a
few bricks were slipped under the
main and no report was made to the
company, the break being discovered
only recently.

PUSHING TROLLEY WORK.

Track Finished at DenviEle and Cars
TO Run soon TO DenviIle station.
The Morris County Traction Co. is
hustling the work of construction at
Denville and is doing what it can In
Morristown. Here the wire for the
overhead work is holding the company
back, it not having arrived yet. The
generator which is to be set up in the
old Public Service plant here will be
in place, it is expected in day or two.
At Denville the two sections of
track have Deen connected, though
the Dover cars run only to the bend il
the road at the Sickle property as yet.
The track across the Hinchman prop
erty is in place and is being graded
and ballasted Wires are being strung
and it will be only few days before
the cars are running through 20 the
Denville station of the Lackawanna.
Work will be continued on towards
Mount Tabor and Morris Plains, say
the trolley officials, as weather per
mits.
The steam shovel has been set up in
the cut at Rockaway and is digging
out the hill, the dirt being used for
grading. Poles are up to the Denville
station and the wires as far as the Den
brock bridge.
Work has also been started on the
Boonton line, the tracks being laid
from the junction on the Hinchman
place in front Of the GARNER inn at
Denville across the Morristown road
and up the Boonton road a short dis
lance. This work, too, say the trac-
tion men, will be pushed on to compile
tion.
Since the connection with the Pub
lie Service line has been made at Ma
plewood the Morris County company
has taken off the stage that formerly
piled between Union and Elizabeth. the
traffic over the line being only about
ten people daily and not being sutfi-
cient to warrant the expenses.
The board of aldermen have been
stirring up the Traction company be-
cJuse of it's alleged failure to file a
bond for the proper fulltilment of the
franchise in Morristown. The trac-
tion company asserts that the bond
was filed but was lost by the town Off
Gals and has, through Edward D.
Neighbour, of Dover, taken steps to
secure new bond which will soon be
in the hands of the town officials.

down her face from a half dozen self
inflicted wounds, appeared in the
window, knife grasped in each hand
She, too, WAS shrieking. and as 1he
crowd gazed at her horror-stricken
she plunged both weapons again and
again into her breast.
Dropping the knives she seized the
edge of the window sill and tried to
throw herself out into the street. She
fell unconscious before she could ac
complish her purpose.
When the policeman entered the Day
home the boy lay in the middle of the
room, his head almost several. Tho
knofe with which his mother had at
tackled him lay on the floor beside his
body.
One glance at the unconscious wo-
man showed she was seriously

out to summon an ambulance. Dr..
of the German Hospital,
declared she was MORALLY hurt and
could not live through the night.
