MARR|ES AN ACTRESS
FRANK J. GOULD WEDS MISS
EDITH KELLY.
Ceremony Takes Place In Edinburgh,
Scotland, According to Report
Published In "The Scotsman"

Edinburgh.-FrankJ ]. Gould of New
York City was married to Miss
Edith Kelly, the actress, on October
20, at St. Giles church, according to q
report published in The Scotsman. Mr..
Gould and Miss Kelly arrived here last
March and established themselves at
the palatial North British hotel while
the negotiations for the lease of Alb
botsford were under way. When
these were completed the couple took
up their residence there, returning to
Edinburgh last Saturday for the we'd
ding. Mr.. Gould took the greatest
care that none of the details of the
affair should become public and the
Scottish procedure was great aid in
his purpose. All that It necessary for
a marriage in Scotland is a declara-
tion before two witnesses, coupled
with a petition to the sheriff for a
warrant to register the event and res
idence in Scotland for 81 days before
the ceremony. These rules Mr.. Gould
fulfilled carefully and the marriage
was the quietest of quiet affairs. But
for the recording register in st. Giles
church the marriage might still be un-
known.

BUILDING NEW RAILROAD
NEW YORK CENTRAL HAS BEGUN
WORK ON LINE.
Will Have Shortest Route Between
New York and Chicago, Clipping
Down Time over Three Hours.

Pittsburg, Pa.-The New York Cen
trail lines have begun work on a
new line which will give 1t the short
est railroad route between New York
and Chicago, clipping off between $50
and 175 miles from the present rum
ming distance and cutting down by
more than three hours the running
time. This means that the actual
running time between the two points
will be less than 20 hours and that
fast trains will be shot through
Youngstown instead OF Cleveland as
at present. In accomplishing this feat
n new road Is being built and por-
tion of the Baltimore & Ohio will be
used. With the exception Of the
stretch from Niles to Ravenna, the
route will be controlled entirely by
the New York Central lines.
The new route will be from New
York City to Williamsport, Pa, via
the Philadelphia G. Reading, road
which is controlled by the Vanderbilt
interests; from Williamsport to
Franklin, Pa, via the New York Cen
trail lines; from Franklin to Struthers,
O., over a strip which is now being
built by the New York Central lines;
from Struthers through Youngstown
to Niles, over the Lake Erie & East.

timore & Ohio to Ravenna, o., and
Ravenna to point between Cleve.
land and Elyria, over the Lake Erie &
Pittsburg, where the main line of the
New York Central lines will be met.
With the exception of the 40 miles
between Franklin and Struthers, the
route is already open. Construction
gangs are now working building the
line from Franklin to Struthers.

At 10 STEALS BRIDE CF II
Great-Grandfather Weds After EIope-

cape kidnapping Charge.

Paris, Tenn.-After eloping from
the Dresden neighborhood with Liz
zie Mcdonald, 17-year-old school
girl and playmate of his great grand
children, T. c. Gaskins, a wealthy
farmer, 70 years of age, arrived here
with his bride-to-be, secured mar
riage license, was married and then
tried to commit suicide by stabbing
himself. The aged groom and his bride
rode IA miles across country on the
back of one mule. They intended to
continue on to Kentucky to spend their
honeymoon, but according to the city
officials who investigated the case, the
old man commenced to grieve for his
former wife, who has been dead just
30 days and, in a fit of despair, he
drew his knife and plunged it into
his breast, inflicting a wound that
may prove fatal The father of the
young woman, has preferred kid
naping charges against Gaskins. He
says the old man entered his home
and at the point of pistol forced the
daughter to accompany him. Added
to the complications developing here
is a paper said to bear the signature
of Gaskins in which he makes over
every dollars worth of property he
possessed to his girl bride.

He can't take a dollar out of the

Personally, l mean to get rid of the

by large bequests. The offspring of
a rich man are better off if they are
required to hustle for themselves in

his cheeks, and still he didn't stop.
His friends, becoming alarmed, sum-
moned a physician, but the physician
couldn't stop the hearty ha ha ha.
When six hours had passed Schrapp
was proclaimed the champion laugher,
but that didn't stop him, and an elec-
trio battery was brought into play.
Just as the merry laugh had rounded
out IL hours the trader was given
heavy electric shock; the "ha ha"
ceased and Schrapp fell over ex-

ENGINEERS ON SIXTY WESTERN
RAILROADS WILL VOTE ON
STRIKE PROPOSITION.
BOTH SIDES GIVE OUT STATEMENTS
Head Of Brotherhood Says He Be-
Iicves Companies Haunting Red
Flag In Faces Of Their Best
Friends; Roads Say Not.

Chicago, Ill.-Negotiations were ter.
ference between representatives of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers and members of the conference
committee of general managers which
has been in session for six weeks and
as a result strike ballot will be
taken on 60 western roads in the next
month. Already the strike ballots
have been given to the printer to get
out with all possible speed and at the
same time general managers are stat
ing that there will be no strike, as
they intend to resort to the Erdman
act, which makes 1t obligatory to ar.
bitrate the matters under discussion.
Grand Chief Warren S. Stone of the
Brotherhood stated that he believed
the companies were Haunting the red
flag in the faces of their best friends.
THE engineer" he said, "has stuck to
the road through thick and thin. Their
work has been doubled and their sal
aries has not been increased. There
has never been a general strike but
1t looks very probable. The roads are
getting twice as much work out of
the men as they have been and yet in
their negotiations they wanted to take
from the men privilege they have
enjoyed for more than 20 years, that
is, the working Of the engineers by
an hour day instead of mileage day.
One hundred miles has heretofore con-
stituted a day. The roads want to
work a man on a hundred mile run
and If he makes 1t in five hours, to
work him at something else for five
more hours"
w. B. Scott, chairman of the con-
ference committee of managers, IS
sued formal statement. "The repre-
sentatives of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers broke off negotia-
tions," he stated, "and announced they
would submit to a vote of the men,
bers the question of whether or not
the officers of the Brotherhood should
be authorized to declare a strike. The
negotiations between the representa-
tives of the engineers and the officers
of the railways have been in progress
since September 26. The railways of
fered the engineers advances in wages
which would have averaged nine and
one-half per cent. and would have
amounted in the aggregate to S3,-
100000 year for the 10000 employees
involved. We could not see the JUS
tification for making such large adj
vances in wages, except that the
boards of arbitration had already
awarded advances to switchmen and
firemen and felt that the engineers
should be raised in the same proper
tion, in spite of the fact that the net
earnings of the railways involved
were $S,500,000 less in July and
August, 1910, than in the same months
in 1909"

ASYLUM BURNS,

Of the injuries viii
Prove Fatal.

Brandon, Man.-In the piercing cold
Of a chilly November night 600
patients OF the asylum for the in
sane are huddled together in sheds
and barns as the result of fire which
destroyed the asylum. The asylum
was a mile and half northe east of
town and, despite the fact that an
early alarm was given, 1t was an hour
before the fire department had reached
the scene and by that time the build
ing was almost total loss and burned
to the ground.
Immediately 1t was seen that the
fire had gotten beyond control, and
the asylum staff released the patients
and by persuasion and threats headed
them out Of the building in squads.
Men, women and children were hud-
died together in every available out
building, but enough of them had
sense to realize the awful fate they
had escaped and assisted in quieting
those who were raving dangerously.
A few seemed to recover their senses
through the shock but it is feared
they will again lose their minds when
the excitement is over.
To add to the horrors of the sit
uation, blizzard was blowing at the
time but, despite this, several thou
sand people went out, to the scene and
rendered what assistance they could
and practically every inmate was in
safety within ten minutes after the
outbreak, and the superintendent
states that everyone has been ac-
counted for, although number were
burned in escaping from the building.
1t is believed none of the injuries will
result fatally.

AN INToLERABLE ITCHING

"Just about two years ago, some
form Of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
1t grew steadily worse until, when I
combed my hair, tho scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in a painful, burning way. very much
as q bad, raw burn, II deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. MY hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of tho blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. was
In despair, really afraid Of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, l would
scratch the worst places SO that my
finger-tips would be bloody. I could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
q short time, that awful stinging pain
would commence and then l would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said 1t must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, now decided to
order a set Of the Cuticura Remedies

l used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left of.
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. COM
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, SO had very little trouble. On
my scalp used about one half a cake
of Cuticura Soap and half box Of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time l took six or seven bottles of Gu.

bottles-neither an expensive or te.

funeral, it was learned that Baker
Poole of McKeesport, Pa, is still

shipped here from McKeesport and
consigned to the father of Baker
Poole. Poole is supposed to have died
at McKeesport. Two women who
claimed to be his sisters were at
his bedside and they notified the fam
lily here. The remains were ordered
shipped and they came here. When
the coffin was opened it was found
that the body was not that of Poole
but a man unknown to the family.
Then it developed that Poole's sisters
are not in McKeesport The body of
