making up his mind to end his life
Jacob Bloom, aged 81, proprietor OF q
small instalment plan house here, lost
his nerve at the last moment and
changed the aim Of his revolver as he
pulled the trigger. His repentance was
in vain, for the bullet, entering the
fleshy part Of his right shoulder, sever
ed an artery. Bloom bled to death.
The suicide crept out of bed without
awaking his wife early this morning
and went to the dining room. There
he pointed a revolver at his heart, but
as he pulled the trigger repented and
changed the aim.
His wife was awakened by his piteous
cries for help. He was hurried to the
hospital but died few moments after

The strike in Jersey City.

Jersey City, N. j., Oct. 26.---After a
day and night OF disorder, marked by
arrests of strikers and their sympa-
thizers, and the cutting Of harness and
overturning Of loaded wagons, officials
OF the United States Express Company
at 1890 O'Clock this morning tele-
phoned to Gov. Fort at Trenton and
asked him to call out the militia. The
express company has not been able to
move their wagons and claim the police
of Jersey City and Hoboken havo moi
given adequate protection to the non
union drivers and helpers.
The strike originated from the de-
mand from the wagon helpers OF the
United States Express Company for an
increase of FIVE dollars month. The
company imported strike breakers from
New York, but they have been unable
to move any Of the express matter, as
despite the vigilance OF the police, they
have been attacked with clubs, stones,
aud even bullets, and driven from their
wagons. The regular drivers, while in
sisting they are not on strike. have re-
fused to take out the wagons without
their experienced helpers. The result
has been that clerks in the EN-. 10y Of
the company have been pressed into
service by the company to act as drivers.
After telephone conference between
Mayor Wittpenn, of Jersey City, and
Governor Fort, who is at Spring lake,
the former announced that the state s
executive had declined to accede to the
request of the United States Express
Company's officials for militia.
Mayor Wittpen also announced that
the Jersey City police have the strike
situation in hand and the express COM
paws officials are needlessly alarmed.
