DR.. Gilbert met with his first real
automobile accident on Sunday
night. While making a call in
Eagle township and travelling sell
domly used road, in trying to avoid
a "hog-back," and before he knew
what was doing" the car was at a
standstill. Investigation revealed a
broken clutch and fly-wheel and
transmission gear, and badly bent
crank-shaft. The nearest house was
Orrin Rowley's and Twas mid
nights holy hour" but DR.. Gilbert
gathered up his nerve and lost no
time in getting to Mr.. Rowley's
house and he enlisted Mr.. Rowley's s
assistance. Mr. Rowley got up his
team, took DR.. Gilbert to his patient
and afterward started to town with
the crippled machine. They arrived
in town at 8 a. m. Monday
and the car is now under treatment
at Froman's garage. DR.. Gilbert
says that Mr.. Rowley is the finest
man this side of Paradise. He came
to his assistance cheerfully and at
the end of the journey refused to
accept more than half of what was
offered for his services and what
they were worth. We think DIR.
Gilbert has him sized up right. There
are many people who would not
make a trip of that kind at. such
time for any reasonable amount
of money.

pended from discarded trolley pole
spread through the limbs of two large

Considerable talk is heard about the
public wharf" that was built on Mr.
Williams property down by the creek.
1t seems that the owners father, many
years ago, permitted the public to drive
down a narrow lane to the water, and
by public usage this is supposed to have
become public property, although it is
said to be too narrow for a wagon to
turn in. The great wharf-l6 feet long
is not just at the supposed end of the
lane, but somewhat to the right a few
feet. A survey and an extended inquiry
will have to be made before the borough
money can be used to pay for this con
yenience to fishermen.
The borough council has fixed April
p as time for public hearing on the
question of electric lighting franchise.
What will be done remains to be seen.
For some unknown reason some public
officials seem to prefer to attend TO
public business without letting the public
know when or how or why

Many Others Fearfully Burned In New
Haven Jail Fire.
New Haven, Conn, April 14.-Trap-
ped by metal doors and barred win
dows, six firemen were caught by a
back draught and burned to death dur
ing the partial destruction of the New
Haven county Jail. Three Of their COM
rades we're saved through the heroism
of other firemen. The bodies of the six
men were found after the debris had
cooled. Many other firemen were fear
fully burned, but remained at work.
Six men from truck No. l were
fighting their way through the CELL
room of the jail into the Workshop
when an explosion of a gasoline tank
caused a back draught and slammed
behind them the iron doors separat-
ing the two buildings. Three of the
men were hemmed in corner and
burned to death, while the other three
made their way to barred window, to
which they clung with streams Of wa
der playing on them from the outside
Soon after reaching the window the
roof fell in and ladders were put up
from the outside and the men were
taken out The dead firemen were
caught by the same back draught and
were carried down by the roof when
1t fell ill.,
The fire was discovered by a pris-
oner and the 175 men in the workshop
were sent to their cells. When it was
seen that there was danger of the fire
spreading to the. main building. the
246 male and ~ female inmates were
taken to the police stations and the
armory. Later the prisoners were re-
turned to the Jail.
The buildings destroyed were two
workshops and several adjoining
sheds and two dwelling houses.
The freis thought to have been
caused by crossed electric light wires
The loss of the New England Chair
