BURGLARS TURN
ON GAS AFTER
ROOFING HOUSE
Awakening Probably
Saves Harrison Family
from Asphyxiation.

Burglars who early today entered
the home of James 7. Dolan, at AZ
Reynolds avenue, Harrison, were
seemingly not content with making a
haul, and turned on the gas on several
jets before they left. The timely
awakening of one of Dolan's children,
Who cried inc aroused his parents,
probably prevented the asphyxiation
of the whole family.
Dolan got up n turned off the flow
of gas from several Jets, and found,
upon investigation, that his home had
been fransacked.
1t Is thought that the thieves gained
entrance to the house by fprcing a rear
window and that they made their visit
about 8 o'clock, because it was only a
few minutes after that hour that the
discovery of the escaping gas was
made.
Chief Of Police Michael Rodgers Is
today conducting an investigation.
Dolan reported hat besides $12 in cash
there was also taken a locket and
chain, the initials &c. b." appearing
upon the outside of the former; an opal
ring bearing the letters M. b." an
amethyst ring and -four neck pins.

WOMAN, HIT By
TRAIN, OEL|R|OUS
THOUGH UNHURT
Mrs. Edward Harvey, of Harri-
son, in Critical Condition
After Experience.

Though Mrs. Edward Harvey escaped
without a scratch when a Pennsyl-
vania railroad freight train hurled her
ten feet from its tracks in Railroad
avenue, Harrison, yesterday, she is suf-
fering so badly from shock that she
has been delirious ever since and
screams out continually that trains are
rushing down upon her.
Mrs. Harvey was returning 10 her
home at 409 Middlesex street, Har-
rison, from a shopping excursion in
this city. She had crossed the Centre
street bridge safely md had proceeded
half a block, when a pedestrian nearby
cried out TO her that a train was
rumbling toward her.
The spectator turned his head away,
certain that the woman would be
crushed to death beneath the wheels,
but when he looked again the train
had passed and Mrs. Harvey was pick
ing herself up from the snowbank into
which the train had flung her. She
was dazed, but seemingly unhurt, and
rather than call an ambulance to
brighten her invalid mother she walked
all the way home, her bundles being
carried by a boy.
once in the mouse her nerves gave
way and she became hysterical. At
first she could only repeat over and
over again. We'll. 1 escaped alive; I'm
home alive" but later when she had
been put to bed the hysteria turned
into a raving delirium, and all night
long to her vision the room was trans
into a great railroad yard, in
which she would escape from n car
train only to find herself in the
path Of another. Even the opiates
given by DR.. A. A. Mulligan failed to
stop her cries or bring sleep, and the
physician says today that her condi-
ton is critical.

BELLEVILLE.

Fire Bell as Gift.
Postmaster Jeraldo Maioran, Of the

buy a $50 bell. which will be used to
sound an alarm Of fire to residents of
that place. At present there is nothing
of this nature in Silver Lake, and when
a fire occurs the residents raise al
alarm by firing revolvers. The bell is
to be located on top of the high wind
mill in the rear of Mr.. M%aioran's resi-
dence, at Belmont avenue and the Erie
railroad. 1t is planned to have three
wires arranged In various parts of the
place which would be connected with

to have about one hundred members.
He says by doing this there will be a
tendency to have the fire insurance
rates lowered, as Silver Lake is not In
