MORAL LINES

The subject of the sermon at
St. Peters Episcopal church SUN
day evening will be the "Church
and the Stage.' At that time the
-curate will show the attitude OF
the christian towards the stage
and the thought will be brought
out that the good stage can be
made an agency for uplift and
for culture as we'll as any other
moral means. The ''barnstorm-
ers" will come in for their share
of censure for their prostitution of
a noble art and the compatibility
of the good stage and the modern
church will be shown as thing
necessary in the light of present
day progress and thought.

WAS WITHOUT

BREAK N MAIN PUTS DEPARTMENT
OUT Of BUSINESS FOR THIRTY
HOURS

daSCeneQ Dy Tie extra pressure
occasioned by the fire Of Fri
day afternoon the main of the
waterworks system on which all
the city is depending for water
bursted at a point just north OF
the G.. N. track west Of the round
house and for thirty hours or
more the city was without fire
protection and water supply. The
break necessitatedd the talking
out Of ten foot section OF the
eight inch main and through the
night Superintendent Mackenroth
and his men made herculian ef-
forts to repair the break in the
main.
The three foot coating of
frozen earth was removed by
dynamite and the softer earth
exposed so that pick and shovel
the main was exposed. Sunder-
hoff and his assistants built a
raging fire on the pipe Saturday
to melt the led from the pipe
and it was only after hours Of
steady fireing that the ten foot
section was finely removed and
the new joint slipped into its
place. The pipe had split from
the pressure.
Property owners were uneasy
through the day and night for
had q fire occurred the city was
in poor condition to stand off
much of a blaze as nothing in the
way Of fire protection remained
but the chemical engines. Pump
ing was resumed about six
O'Clock Saturday evening.
This is the third break that has
occurred in the mains and all
have resulted in leaving the city
Temporarily without water. This
far no disaster occurred and no
harm has been done save the in
convenience Of the lack of wa
ter. With a stand pipe the city
would have a supply Of water al
ways on hand that would last
from twenty four to thirty SIX
hours and all fire danger be re-
moved. The cost of stand pipe
Of capacity sufficient to supply
the city, fully equipped, would
be about six thousand dol
lars and the loss entailed by
one live blaze in the business Sec
ton would be sufficient to build
one Of many times the cost that

lection in the time of need

DESP0NDENT LOVER
COMMITS SUICIDE
HUNGARIAN MINER TAKES OWN LIFT
TUESDAY ON STAPLES FARM
NEAR SPRING BROOK

Becoming deSpOnOenC over VLo
refusal of marriage by Mrs. Edna
Rankin, George Nemet shot him.
self with rife Tuesday afternoon
at the Staples farm a mile east of
Spring Brook, dying instantly.
Nemet was Hungarian en-
ployed at the Bruegger coal mine
and has worked at these mines in
termitantly for more than year.
Last summer he was employed at
the Staples farm and there met
Mrs. Rankin and his infatuatiOn
dated from that time. Tuesday
morning Nemet came to the Sta
pies farm where Mrs. Rankin was
alone with small child and pro-
posed marriage and on her refu'
sal, wrote letter to his father in
Hungary, at the same time telling
her that it would be the last letter
that he would ever write to his
father. After dinner he borrowed
a rifle that belonged to the Staples
brothers, saying that he was 60
ing hunting. Later in the after
noon Mrs. Rankin heard the dog
and on investigating the cause
found the animal barking at the
corpse of Nemet. The suicide had
walked along the pasture fence
and in his course picked up a piece
of wire some two feet long with
which to discharge the rifle. Dis
carding this after having bent it,
he opened the leaver of the gun, q
32-40 Winchester, and placing the
trigger over the fence discharged
the gun, the ball passing directly
through his heart. Nemet stag
gered = few steps and fell and it
is presumed died instantly.
On discovery of the body q call
was sent to this city for Coroner
Thomas, but his being absent at
his farm at Trenton, delayed view
ing the remains until Wednesday
morning when he went to the
scene of the tragedy and the body
was brought to the Slater under
taking rooms in this city.
Nemet from the tattoo marks on
his arm was twenty-six years of
age and had no relatives in this
country as far as is known. 1t is
presumed that he is a Catholic as
in the pockets of the dead man a
rosary and cross was found.
Efforts were made to have the
letter he had written to his father
translated but no one has been
found thus far sufficiently familiar
with the Hungarian tongue to dis
cipher the message. The body
was inferred as a county charge
this afternoon.
