FIyES SUES AUTO COMPANY.
Legal Steps Follow Bad Runaway
Accident on Main street.

Anna May Fives, the little young
ster from Pleasant Mount who was
so badly hurt in a runaway accident
on Main street two months ago, has
brought suit by her father, William
B. Fives, against the Auto-Trans-
portation company. Chester A. Gar
rett is the plaintiffs lawyer.
The little girl was in her fathers
wagon and the horse was tied in
front of Meyers restaurant when
the auto came up the street with
curtains tapping. The Elves horse,
frightened, reared and broke away
He ran down the street and when
opposite the depot the little girl was
flung out. Her head struck a tree,
and from the tree she bounded to
the sidewalk, where she landed on
her head and was rendered uncon-
scious.
The horse kept on and turned
around in front of the Western
Union office. He finally threw the
wagon against a stone post, with the
result that the wagon was reduced
to kindling wood.
Anna May was laid up as the re-
suit of her hard bumps on the head
and Mr.. Fives had to buy new
wagon. The suit is the outcome.
The declaration had not been filed
today.

STATE ROAD IN DREHER.
Claimed Contractors Didn't Finish
IL Up According to Specifications.

There Is splendid stretch of
state road extending from beyond
Gouldsbero to Haigs' Mill in Dreher
township. The people appreciate
the road, but they are considerably
dissatisfied at the incomplete man
ner in which the contractors did
their work There is a lot of muir
muring, also, over the dilatory ac-
tion of the authorities in not COM
pelling the contractors to properly
finish the job.
The 12-foot roadway was finished
up in good shape and the three feet
on each side was properly arranged,
but the ditch work on each side and
the sloping back of the embank-
ments, as per specifications, have
been sadly neglected and are very
unsatisfactory. In many places
there is no ditch; in other places the
bank has washed down, filling the
bitches. This could not have hap
pened if the banks had been graded
back, as called for by the specifica-
tions.
In several places it is noticed that
the water has been pushed over onto
the road and is already disintegrat-
ing the roadbed. In other places
trunks of trees or large rocks have
been left where the ditch should
have been. Failure to do this work
properly is diverting the drainage
over onto the road and causing
damage to a road which has cost
the taxpayers a lot of money.
Somebody should get after High
way Commissioner j. w. Hunter and
have him put the contractors back
onto the job, and compel them to
finish their work in a satisfactory
manner, in accordance with the
specifications.

FIRE IN FACTORY
BLAZE AT TANNERS FALLS
TACKLED BY WORKMEN AND
NEIGHBORS AND PUT OUT BE-
FORE DAMAGE REACHES MORE
THAN $3OO-FLAMES FIERCE
FOR AN HOUR, THOUGH.

The fire at the Rieflers' acid fac
tory at Tanners Falls came about
through the efforts of workmen to
loosen up the CONCEALED tar in one
of the Goals. Waste and rags sat
urated with oil were placed upon
top of the coil and ignited with a
view of softening up the tar and
residue in the coil and getting it to
flow. The blaze of the oil-soaked
material was greater than expected
or intended and it soon had the
sides and roof in it's embrace.
The Rieflers have always had the
matter of fire protection in view and
several hundred feet of hose to meet
any such emergency. When the
whistle sounded the alarm for fire
the fire brigade of the factory and
nearby neighbors assembled very
quickly and in a few minutes had
the apparatus in play and all dan
ger of any great confiagration was
soon dispelled.
The flames were very stubborn and
it required considerable work to
prevent their spreading, but inch by
inch the men gained the mastery un-
til after over an hour of hard
work the last vestige of fire was ex-
tinguished. Without the protection
that was afforded by the fire fighting
apparatus, both of the factories and
other buildings might have been de-

Independent Convention Plans.
Managers of the Independent par
ty are perfecting plans for their state
convention, which will be held in
Witherspoon hall in Philadelphia
Thursday.
They are receiving reports from
the various counties and making up
their list of delegates. There has
been little attempt to have it ap-
pear that the convention is to be a
body of Representatives chosen by
the people.
The facts are that in most cases
the delegates are being selected by
men identified with the old Lincoln
party or the Gibboney interests in
this city or the William Finn fol-
lowing in Allegheny county, with a
few disgruntled Democrats picked
up here and there.
The convention is expected to
come out unequivocally in favor of
local option, and this will be made
probably the paramount issue of the
campaign.
The Gibboney following will also
support a demand for a constitution
al convention, and in this they will
be backed by the Granger element
under the leadership of Farmer
Greasy.
Should Gibboney be nominated for
governor, which his friends declare
to be assured, many Philadelphia in
dependents will decline to support
the ticket, as they say Gibboney
should retire in favor of someone
who has not figured as a perennial
candidate for Office.
