the Market street station OF the Penn

and died IA the hospital three hours
later, was not identified in Mullins

County Physician Mckenzie declared
that the woman's death was due to a
fracture of the skull, and ordered the
body removed from st. Michaers Hos

The victim of the tragedy was about
twenty-five years old. She wore dark
skirt. white embroidered waist, a
straw hat with pink roses and feath-
er boa about her neck She was of
medium height, with dark hair and
eyes, In a pocketbook the girl car
ried was two cents. No marks of iden-
tification were found on her clothing
1t was apparent to all who wit
messed the fatal accident that the young
woman deliberately sought DEATH For
fifteen minutes before the arrival of
the train she had been seen walking
up and down the west-bound platform.
She had inquired the time of the next
train. AS the headlight of an approach
ing freight neared the station the young,
woman stepped into the centre of the
track and faced 1t. Engineer A. M.
Wetzel, of Metuchen, threw On the

STRIKE ON ERIE
BLOCKED AS ROAD
Asks MORE TINE
Vice=President Stuart Will Pre-
pare a New Proposal to
Employees.

NEW YORK, May 1S.--The Erie rail-
road toby averted a strike of its con-
ductoy and trainmen for the present
at least by offering, at a conference
with representatives of the unions, to
submit new proposition on the ques-
tion of increased wages. Although
both the conductors and trainmen have
authorized their leaders to call strike
In case the Baltimore and Ohio stand
ard of wages is not granted by the
Erie, and although the Erie insists that
1t cannot afford to grant this scale of
pay, there is still strong hope of peace
full settlement
Presidents A. B. Garretson, of the
Order of Railway Conductors, and w.
G. Lee. of the brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, said that the vote of the
members of the unions, which was made
known today to the officers of the Erie,
was approximately SO per cent. in favor
of a strike unless the standard rate of
pay be granted
Both j. c. Stuart, vice-president of
the Erie, who represented the road, and
the representatives of the union e.
pressed the hope that negotiations be not
broken off, and after a two-hour con-
ference Mr.. Stuart asked for an ad-
journment, saying thet he would make
new proposal on behalf of the road
rather than have strike called.
Another conference probably will be
held tomorrow, at which time it is ex-
pected that this proposal will be sub
mtted to the men.

PUPILS, IN FEAR OF
COMET, STAY AT HOME.

CHICAGO. May 1S.-In districts OF
Chicago populated by foreigners school
children by the hundreds yestsrdN~
asked permission of the teachers 20 re-
main at home today, for fear OF some
untoward happening for which Halley's
comet may be responsible.
Physicians were appealed to by their
patients for specifics to ward off the
dangerous gas which they suppose will
envelop the earth when it passes
through the comets tail. Priests and
ministers were besought by their
parishioners for words of comfort to
help them through the ordeal through
which they believe they are about to
pass.
Among the negro population OF
Chicago the coming of the comet is re-
ceived with much superstitious dread
Little faith Is had in the prophecy OF
astronomers, and whole households are
given over to prayer for protection. In
many neighborhoods work has prac-
tically ceased, while men, women and
children await the passing Of tonight
