OVERHEAD VIADUCT WANTED Many Councilmen Ridicule tho Proposed Grade on tho West Sido and Say LThat thoBrldgo Will lie Al most Useless, There lis .prospecit of trouble over the location of a western approach to the Linden Street brlile. An element of opposition to the present plan of an approach on Swetland street has reared Itself In each branch of councils, and Innuiry into .the matter tends to show that Hhe opposition lias good reason for Its belief. The tiucstlon it Issue does not In- volve the bridge proper, but. If what. Is claimed Is itrue the structure Is to be only an architectural folly, a thing of besiuity and a Joy forever, and but lit tie else. The matter has gone so far that an effort will be made In councils to secure the passage of an ordinance for an overhead viadust from the end of ithe brldgo to Ninth street at an estimated cost of $50,000. It is claimed that unlesB this course Ifl adopted now the city will be forced to pay about $200,000 (lnmaRsfl wlu-n the viaduct Is built In the future. According to the present plan the dl rect vehicle outlet from the brldp;e will he down a grade of tibout 4 per cent to Seventh irtrcft, past the Robinson brewery property at a Flight Incline of over 1 per cent and from Eighth to Nlnthstrectoveranlmpracticable grade of over 10 per cent. It Is this last sec tlon of tho route which presents the difficulty thait councils will try to solve. The grade mishit be lessened by a (111 of two and four-tenths feet along the brewery property, but this would Involve a damage which the courts would be called upon to decide and which E. Roblnron's Sons would fight, wLth more or less reason. Tho Robinsons' Option. This concern gave an option to the city for a strip of land iten feet wide on the north side of the street, betwew Seventh street and Wright court. On this strip rerts the brewery boiler house, which would have to- be torn down. The option Is for $15,700, of which $9,05S Is for the boiler house. Rut, o-lde from the proposed Inv practicable grade and the Robinsons' costly option, there Is a more Impor tant matter for consideration. West Sldo councilmen are a unit on the statement that over the Swetland street approach at the proposed grade there would not bo sufficient travel to warrant the building of even a foot bridge. This same view Is taken by many business men and others who mlfi-ht use the bridge and Its approach. They claim that the bridge Is being built for three special purposes, viz: To overcome the present grade cross ing on West Lackawanna avenue, to furnish a direct route for far West Siders to the central city and to do away with the steep grade on West Lackawanna avenue, which now pre vents heavy trucking on that thorough fare. It Is claimed that the proposed Swetland street approach will not over come any of these features, because of its heavy grade. Immediate Action N'ccjssnry. The overhead viaduct Idea has reached a point where sketches and an approximate estimate of cost have been made by the city engineer. The supporters of the idea argue that dur ing the next few years the Robinsons propose erecting on their property a new brewery plant which will Involve a cost of from $150,000 to $300,000. This fact suggests the question of what will the city's position be in the matter two years hence when a viaduct will have been found necessary, but when Its location will be occupied by tower ing and valuable brewery structures? In promoting the overhead viaduct idea an obstacle 19 presented by the possibility of preventing access to the bridge from the .territory lying Imme diately beneath ithe viaduct approach. All the land owners In, that section, in cluding such Important ones as the Jer sey Central company and the Robin sons, stipulated in ithelr options that the bridge should be constructed so as to permit them convenient approach. It will be seen that unless some special provision Is made ithe overhead ap proach would entirely prevent access from the territory lying beneath lit. However, It is believed that this con tingency can be met satisfactorily. Tho Sun-Approach. It Is proposed that from a point on Bllckens' court, south, of Swetland Ptreet (Bllckens' court runs at right angles to the bridge and is the first Ptreet beyond Its western end), an ele vated roadway be built toward the river, a turn made northwest and a connection made with the viaduct where It Joins the bridge. This plan would give an easier grade to Main avenue and the bridge proper than would the proposed grade of Swetland street. What the result of the viaduct plan will be Is a conjecture. Its supporters In council are many and they are san guine of success. They contend that an outlay of $50,000 now la preferable to a monument of useless Iron or an ex penditure of at least four times that sum In the near future. Excursion Rates Offered.

Ten days -will have elapsed tomorrow since the first Monday in June, the date the law has fixed fur school boards In boroughs or townships to elect officers and orgnlze for business. The ffbhool board: of Lackawanna township met on Monday, June 3, but did not organize, -because there oc curred a deadlock In the election of a treasurer. The contest was and still is between Thomas R. Loverlng, of Green wood, and William Morgan, of the Archbald mines. The board consists of six members, four Republicans and two Democrats; but the treasurershlp was Bought by two Republicans, and each of them got a Democrat to Bide with him. Thomas King has voted for Loverlng and Patrick Illgglns for Mor gan. That caused a deadlock, but Hlg- gins Is aspiring to be secretary, and that ofllce will not be filled until a treasurer is first elected. Griffith T. Davis and Mr. King will stick to Cov ering and whether Morgan Is sure of Higgina' support may be questioned. If HI ps-lns would vote for Loverlng, Cov ering's contingent would vote for him for secretary and that would end the matter. Something must be done this evening. as the school laws read as follows: "If the school directors neglect to or ganize within ten days after the first Monday In June, It Is such neglect of duty as will Justify the court of quarter sessions, upon the complaint of six tax able citizens of the district, and upon due proof thereof, to dpclare their seats vacant and appoint others In their stead." The Lackawanna school board will meet this evening and it may be pos sible tnat the four Republican's will confer and take both offices, electing covering treasurer, and Morgan sec retary, the latter preferring to take secretary, than, perhaps, nothing at an. If they do not organize this eveninsr, there are certain citizens awaiting the chance to apply to court to unseat them. OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR.

I have had an ex tended experience as a hospital nurse, but I have never yet met a case that is so pe culiar as his. He Is still alive, and won derful to relate. Is now tnklng no nour ishment at nil. He refuses to take any more laudanum and this morning called for water. I gave him a glass and he drank about a tablespoonful through a rubber tube.

ATTEMPT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL Mrs. Thomas Albranukl of Greenwood Almost Kills Horsclf-Sha Laid on tho Floor Scvoral Hours and Her Hus band Did Nothing to Assist Her. That one-half of the world does not know how the rest live was exempli fied yesterday m the case of Mrs. Thom as Albramskl, of Stafford street, Green wood. She, suffering from an 'unbal anced mind, tried to end her life by cutting her throut with a table knife. but the edge was dull and the attempt wus unsuccessful. Yet- she succeeded in slashing herself In such a horrible manner that It was for a time uncertain whether she would live or die. The lurid pant of the -tale Is that she laid weltering In her life blood from 6.30 in the morning until after the noon hour and no assistance was rendered to save her life. If necessary, or alleviate her pain. Ths husband was present, but he either cared little for her, or was too Ignorant to understand the situ ation. Dr. Weston Called in. Several hours after she tried to kill herself Dr. E. E. Weston, of Taylor, was sent for and arrived; he Just ap plied bandages and ordered her to be brought to the Lackawanna hospital At that time the neighbors became ac quainted with the facits nnd procured appliances usual In such casss. Dr. Weston, after examining hor, pro nounced the wound not a fatal one. Late In the evening the Greenwood Coal company's ambulance conveyed her to the hospital. The Burgeons there state that she will be well In a short time. Her age is between 30 and 40 years and she has two boys, who work slatc- plcking in the Greenwood colliery. Her husband works In the mines for tho same company. They live in a small house owned by Patrick Powell, of Greenwood; and In the morning when the husband and the boys were prepar ing to go to work, she got up. and got their breakfast. No signs of madness were noticed In her actions until Al bramskl was about to leave the house; she begged hard to be allowed to go with him to help him load the coal. Found llcr Lying on Floor. He left unknown to nor and when he had gone twenty feet from the house, her screams caused him to return, and he found her lying on the floor, still slashing away at her throat with the knife. Had he not stopped her the coroner would have another Inquest. He did not make known his wife's condition, nor try in any manner to do anything for her. It was found out by accident along toward noon by some of the children in the nelghbrhood. As soon as she gets well the husband will, he says, have her incarcerated in an insane asylum". He said to a Trib une correspondent that she has not been properly rational for a few years, but he did not think that she would be- cime so violent as to try suicide.
