RATHER DIE
THAN WORK
Chris Brown, Colored, Is
Said to Have Attempted
Suicide In A tic.
ROPE WAS TOO LONG

Rather than go to work after be
ing practically idle all his life, Chris
Brown, coIored, of Mechanic street
made an attempt to commit suicide
by hanging himself last Thursday al
ternoon, according to a story told by
his brother, Frank Brown, an en-
ploye of Smith street care. me
attempt was frustrated, however, by
his sister.
According to his brother, Chris
was ordered by his mother, MIS-
John Harrison, to look for WORK.
This he refused to do, his Drother
states, and words followed between
them. His mother insisted, however,
that he secure position and ne leIt
the house. A short while later he re-
turned. his brother declares, with a
niece of clothesline. He went to the
attic. his brother alleges, and tying
the rope around his neck attempted
to end his life. One end of the rope
he tied around a beam, it is asserted,
and the other around his neck. He
then swung himself free of the box
upon which he was standing. The
rome. however, was just trif1e long,
allowing his feet to rest lightly on
the floor.
About fifteen minutes later his
sister, having occasion to go to the
attic for some clothes, found Chris
with the moose around his neck. She
secured a knife and cut the rope. He
was still alive and in short time
was able to walk downstairs. A
swollen neck is the only result of the
attempt

AWAY
ON BRIDGE
Horse Became Frightened
When Bolt Dropped and
LCOsened Shafts.
PEDESTRIANS IN DANGER
Two South Amboy Men In
Rig Thrown Out Had
Narrow Escape.

A horse attached to a runabout be-
longing to Michael Welsh, liveryman
Of South Amboy, ran away on the
county bridge yesterday afternoon,
throwing out the occupants, two for
eigners from South Amboy. The horse
became parted from the vehicle and
ran to Mechanicsville before it was
stopped and the runabout was turned
over.
The accident occurred while the men,
who had hired the rig, were driving
towards South Amboy. When near the
draw of the bridge, a bolt dropped
from the shafts. The latter fell against
the horse s rear legs, causing it to
become frightened and dash off at a
mad pace. Only one side of the shafts
was fastened and the vehicle swerved
from side to side. Every instant it
was expected that the occupants would
be hurled into the river. The shafts
finally parted entirely from the wagon
and as the horse became loose, the We
hicle turned over, spilling it Is oecu-
pants. They were only slightly bruised.
The animal tore off at mad pace
across the bridge, with harness and
fragments of broken shafts, dangling
behind. Many pedestrians on the
bridge were frightened and no one
dared try stop the fleeing animal. By
the time Mechaniesville was reached,
the horse had tired of the sprint and
was stopped. The horse was bruised
considerably and the runabout dam
aged to some extent.

BIG STRIKE
IN BALANCE
If Arbitration Is Refused at
Meeting thursday in PhiIa-
delphia Trouble S Feared.

Business Men, Manufacture

Philadelphia, Feb. 2s:-Ons
! thousand cars are running today
despite the preparation for a general
| strike. There were many riots dur
ing the night and many injured are
IN the hospitals. The police are in
adequate to handle the crowds.
Union men today are preparing
| their demands for presentation to
the counsels at Thursdays meeting
for arbitration. If not successful, a
general strike will be called Satur-
day.
Business men, ministers, manu-
facturers, etc, demand that some-
thing be done at Thursdays meet
ing to end the strike. The company
says the men are blufing and re-
fuses to notice the threat of a gen.
eral strike.
Two minor clashes were reported to
the police today. Policeman Conlin re-
ceived a fractured skull when he trip
ped getting off car. The company to-
day advertised that tomorrow is the
last day that its offer to take the
strikers back will be good. The com
pany says that 600 strikers returned
to work today. This is denied by the
strikers.
More cars are running now than any
day since the beginning of the strike.
The four girls schools closed last week
were ordered opened today as the au-
| thorities consider trave1.ng in cars SSs'
enough for students.
A meeting of the labor leaders viii
take place this afternoon to discuss the
| general strike proposition.
The vote on the general strike prop
osition was unanimous. There is no
doubt that the labor leaders believe
they will succeed in calling out the
majority of the union men of the city
and that by doing so they viii embar-
rass business enough TO force a de-
mand on the transit company to come
to an agreement with its men.
May Force Arbitration.
| The order for a general sympathetic
strike was determined on as the only
means TO fUrce the Rapid Transit COM
| pany to arbitrate with its men. The
heads of unions allied with the Anal
.t-s-sR9aa+ea, the earmen,s7 llllaFea -ferank
iy that their principal purpose was t
make the company give in. Their rea'
son for postponing the strike until
next Saturday was that the company
may be forced by public opinion to
agree to arbitration. In that event the
general strike order will be rescinded.
The decision of the unions followed
continuous rioting, in which two boys
were killed and sixty persons were
hurt The trouble spread over the
southeastern section of the city and
fared up generally wherever police
protection was inadequate. 1t was ons
of the worst days Philadelphia has
suffered since the employees Of ths
Philadelphia Rapid Transit company
walked out.

BUILDING
First Sky-scraper Is Planned
for Perth Amboy--Deal
Is Closed.
MADISON AVE. & SMITH ST.
Will Have Stores on Ground
Floor and Contain 90
Offices Above.
MADISON AVE. & SMITH ST.

Perth Amboy is to have her first
skyscraper. At least that is under
stood to be the meaning of the sale
of the lot at Smith street and Madi-
son avenue through the Pratt-Brown
Company. The land was formerly
owned by B. Goldman, of Market
street. Upon the site, beginning next
month, it is declared, will be erected
the largest building in this city,
When completed 1t will be six or
eight stories high. A large store
will occupy the first floor and above
that will be ninety-six office rooms.
The specifications for the structure
call for it to be completed and ready
for use by September.
The proposed building is to be so
by 1875 feet, covering an area of
$500 square feet. All of the struc-
tural work is to be of steel. The
main entrances are to be on Smith
street, and the front of the structure
is to be handsomely adorned. When
completed, it was stated, the cost
will have exceeded 100000.
Every modern convenience will be
installed. Two passenger elevators,
one on each side of the structure,
will be installed and there will be
another elevator in the rear for
freight. 1t is also the intention of
the owners to install their own light
ing plant. The light is to be sup
piled directly from the cellar, where
it will be generated, to the tenants,
entirely Independent of the Public
Service Corporation.
Another building which will add
greatly to the enterprises of the city
is the new Boynton building in Smith
street, which is now in the course Of
construction. The structure, accord
ing to the contractors, will be finish
ed about the middle of April. Prac-
tically all of the first floor has been
laid and the contractors are now in
stalling supports for the upper floor.
