Autos Must Observe Speed Limit.

Within the past week it became neces-
sary to take some note of fast driving on
the streets of the Boro by the driver of a
car not owned in the town. The defense
made by him was that he had been driv-
ing at speed consistent with the law,
when some cars owned by our citizens
had sped past him at high rate of speed.
Inquiring of the driver of one of the cars
owned here "if there was no speed limit" I"
he was told that "there is limit but no
one pays any attention to it,"
1t would be manifestly unfair to arrest
and fine drivers of foreign cars for not
obeying the usual precautions for the
safety of others when our own citizens
are unmindful of the law.
1t is true that all cars owned in our
city are constantly and continuously
driven at higher rate OF speed through
our streets than is consistent for the safety
of those using the streets as pedestrians;
and the tendency is steadily increasing
to drive faster.
lLls Has oeen Ieped'euIy pioubn' W 'no
attention of those whose duty it is to
punish such offenders, but, out of spirit
of eniency and kindly feeling, no action
has yet been taken. The writer trusts
that he will not be forced into anything
unpleasant in this matter, but the re-
pested complaints of our citizens and the
| know ledge that thew are well grounded,
will necessitale some action being taken
if the offences continue.
THE BURGESS.

Wake Up.

Our morning contemporary calls to the
people of this vale of tears to awake
Up." This is sound advice. This is no
time to miuce matters. If that dam at
Tionests is built all our fair plans for a
greater and more beautiful Oil City are
useless. We have always been able to
congratulate ourselves Oh our immunity
from the destructive winds of heaven.
Storms that have done much mischief in
other places have passed us by. The con-
formation of the hills surrounding the
city has helped to keep us safe, and we
now propose to demonstrate that we are
sane. 1t is not putting it too strongly to
say that our citizens are aroused as never
before. In view of what has happened in
this state alone, not to cite the example
of others, there has been enough loss and
grief and deadly anxiety to make us shun
anything that can possibly approach this
menace to our lives and our property.
There is only one reason why anybody
should wish this dam built. 1t is solely
that few people can get some money at
the expense OF the comfort of many, and
with complete understanding of the
danger involved. 1t is recorded that the
calf once so wildly worshipped in the
wilderness was of gold. 1t had at least
that to recommend it, but the god of the
seekers after riches by means of grabbing
water rights must be of inconceivably
baser material City Blizzard.

-Forty-seven counties in the state have
applied for state aid In the improvement
of their roads, Forest county being among
the number. The aid applied for in this

is that portion between the end of the
pavement at the lower end of the borough
and the creek bridge. We understand
the highway department has turned
down the application because It is against
the policy of the department to let con-
tracts for so short piece of road.
DIR. j. @. Dunn's faithful old horse,

INDUCED in little runaway Saturday
evening which proved TO be hei last. She
had taken some members OF the family
TO the Dunn cottage, up the river, and
while preparing to return home became
frightened at passing auto and got
away through the breaking of one of the
lines. The mare came down the macadam
road at good clip, dragging the buggy
behind her, and was caught just above
the Tubbs run bridge. 1t was found that
the tendons in ber hind legs we're cut
off, caused by the cross bar breaking and
dragging at her heels, and as she was
permanently crippled 1t was necessary to
shoot her, Monday. The buggy was not
badly damaged. Through the sunshine
of summer and the storms of winter for
the past ten years the doctor had ridden
behind faithful Belle and her passing was
as that of an old friend. She never failed
him, no matter when the call, and the
years which had rolled over her head bad
failed to dim her spirit or quench her

A SUICIDE WITH DYNAMITE.
J. M. Borchert, of Marienville, Blows
His Head OFF With Charge of
DYNAMITE,

j. NJ. Borchert, a carpenter, aged 10
years, of Marienville, this county, COM
mitted suicide in a horrible manner in
his shop at that place, Monday morning
at IL o'clock, by blowing his head off with
a stick of dynamite. No one will ever
know Just how he went about his task of
sef-destruction, but conditions in the
shop lead to the supposition that he laid
on the floor and placed the stick of dyna-
mite under his head or in his mouth,
after lighting the fuse. The explosion
which resulted shook the whole town,
blew great hole in the shop floor and
shattered all the windows in the building.
The unfortunate mans head was blown
to pieces aud one eyeball was picked up
outside the building. Borchert had made
no threats of suicide further than to say
not going to work any more. He was a
good, industrious workman, but was a
man of Incorporate habits. On Sunday
be returned from trip to Clarion and
Brookville and it is supposed that he had
been drinking. That he was possessed
of a suicidal mania is evidenced by the
fact that on April s, 1910, he attempted TO
commit suicide in the same shop, mutt
lating himself terribly with carpenters
chisel. This act followed prolonged
spree. He had also prepared rope to
hang himself but grew 80 weak from loss
of blood that he could not complete his
purpose. He was taken to the Kane hos
pital and his life was saved. A note
written by him then said he wished his
body sent to Philadelphia to be dissected,
rather than buried. No inquest was
deemed necessary. Borchert is survived
by his mother, Mrs. Henry Borchert,
and one sister, Mrs. j. p. Long, with
whom he lived.

INSANE WOMAN THWARTED IN
 SUICIDE PLANS First Tried to Leap From Roller Lift Bridge
 Crazed By Poverty Patrolman Williams Keeps Her From Throwing Her self In Path of Locomo- tive.

Mentally unbalanced by worry over
 her inability to provide for five small children. Fflomena DeLuca,' a widow,
 aged 36, of 10 Lexington avenue, made two spectacular attempts to commit suicide near the railroad station this forenoon.
 Thwarted in a plan to hurl herself into the Pequonnock river from the roller lift bridge, she broke away from a policeman and another captor and
 made another effort to end her life
 under the wheels of a locomotive.
 This afternoon the woman was taken
 to Lakevfew Home for treatment and
 will be detained there while the Char
 ities department investigates the con- ditions of her home.
 Mrs. DeLuca told the authorities through an interpreter that she had tired of trying to make both ends meet. She said she left her employ ment at the Warner Bros Co. this
 morning when she found her work
 was slack. She couldn't tell how she came to be out on her perilous place
 on the roller lift bridge when she was apprehended.
 Mrs. DeLusca was first sighted by Paymaster Hogan of the N. Y, N. IT. & H. R. R. Go. He saw the woman hurrying out on the roller lift bridge. Suspecting something of her plans, he communicated a warning to Patrol man williams at the station He and Michael Donohue, an electrician on the bridge, hurried out in time to force
 the woman back to the railroad sta tion.
 In broken English she cried out that she wanted to die, and when loco motive approached she tore herself free and tried to fling herself in it's
 path. Mrs. DeLuca was soaked with
 rain, bareheaded and her hair was dis heveled
 When she reached police headquar- ters in Williams custody, the woman was turned over to the Charities de. |. partment, and Supt. Johnson sent hel to Lakeview Home pending further investigation into her home surround l ings.

horses close together and formed a circle around the men. Someone in the crowd threw a rock and one of the policemen's helmets went spin ming in the air. This was a signal for a general fusillade of sticks aud stones from all directions. The po- licemen drew their clubs and tried to keep the mob back but were greet ed with derisive cries and another shower of missiles. Finally Kaiser and his men made a break through what appeared to be the weakest DOT tion of the mob and the policemen tried to cover their retreat. Several shots rang out from the mob. Then the state police pulled their guns and fired in the air and their fire was an- swered by the mob, bullets whistling by the heads of the policemen who then fired point blank into the mob. Three men were seen to fall and the yelling aliens paused, wavered, and then broke and ran. The police es- corted Kaiser and his men to the Pine Hill colliery.
 Two of the men wounded are foreigners. Their injuries are not considered serious. David Davis, an American, who was on the outskirts of the mob was shot in the stomach and may die. Mrs. Mary Wool, who was standing on her porch, was struck on the knee by a brick thrown by one of the mob.

graphical Union joins the strike. it will be in defiance of the order of the international president.
 The streets were more quiet today than at any time since the strike be- gan. Sales of the papers against which the strike is being circulated were increased, and the afternoon papers promised to publish and dis tribute their regular editions. Polica- men are still on guard about. all downtown news stands which have been seized by the police and pub fishers and turned over to non-unicn boys.
 Policeman Jennings was compelled to fire three times in the direction of a crowd of rioters last evening when a strike sympathizer poured kerosene onto pile of papers on a South Side stand, and touched match to the pile A large crowd of strike sym pathizers and newspaper employees began battle royal and Jennings at tempted to scatter them unaided. His warning shots were not availing and he, sent in riot calls. Considerable clubbing scattered the mob. Rotten eggs became effective weapons in the street battles.
 The stationing of policemen at a newsboys meeting aroused the strike leaders, and today they sent invita- tions to Mayor Harrison and Chief McWeeney urging them and every member of the police force to attend all their meetings.
 A large number of arrests have been made. A few of the cases have been disposed of, frequent continu- ances keeping the men and boys in the custody of the courts.

Pottsville. Pa. May 8-In clash between a detail of seven state police and foreign mine workers, at Miners vile today, three of the foreigners were shot and a woman was injured by being struck on the knee by brick. The riot created intense ex- citement in the town and a troop of sts te police that had just arrived from Greensburg was hastily thrown into the place and is now patrolling the various thoroughfares.
 For the last four or five mornings the foreigners have been stopping pump men and flremen on their way to work at the various collieries. This morning, mob of about 1,50O gathered in the northeastern portion of the town and commenced holding up men on their way to work. Four state policemen appeared on the scene and attempted to escort the workmen through the crowd but were forced back The police then telephoped to the Pottsville barracks for reinforce ments and soon three additional men appeared. All the policemen were mounted. Shortly afterward Supt. George Kaiser of the Pine Hill Coal Company started to escort several fremen to his plant. Surrounded by the state police he and his men start ed for the colliery but the mob quick ly closed in. The policemen got their

Five Newspaper Unions Pin Hope of Success on Favorable Action of Typographical
 Union Today

Chicago, May S.-The five unions now on strike against Chicago news papers today are pinning their hope of winning the strike to favorable action by the Typographical Union. which meets this afternoon to vote on whether it's members shall con- tinue to work with non-union press men, stereotypers, mechanics wagon drivers and newsboys working on the same papers. The mailers today are awaiting action by the printers be- fore determining what action they will take in regard to walking out in sympathy with the men already on strike.
 President James M. Lynch, of the International Typographical Union, is in Chicago and will attend the mass meeting of the printers late today. Lynch refused to define in any way his position as to a sympathetic strike when questioned today. However, be- fore his departure from Indianapolis, he declared there would be no syu- pathetic strike of the printers and it is generally assumed by members of the strikir1 crafts that if the Typo
