GAIBRIC
BRIDGE TROUBLE FEARED
Shetland Street Approach Is Said to
lie Impracticable.
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.

TIIEIK LAST C1IAXCE.
I.ncknunnnn School Hoard to Mnko Pinal
Attempt to Organize) This Evening.
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.

Chosen To-dny-Dclcgatcs Visited
Steel Mill and Pino Brook Shaft.
Most of the business of the cigar
markers' convention yesterday was de
voted to the report of the committee
on resolutions. The committee reported
thirteen resolutions prepared by the
different delegates and then the con
vention went into a discussion regard
ing the advisability of concurring in
them or refusing to do so.
Since the convention opened tho dele
gates have observed with deprecation
the tendency to employ child labor In
Scranton. The Reading delegates es
pecially have noticed it, as they have
been in the city since last Saturday and
have traveled around a good deal. Cov
ering this point the following resolu
tions was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, It Is noticeable that there
Is an open violation of the factory laws
of Pennsylvania in employing children
under 14 years of age, contrary to
said act of assembly. Therefore te it
Resulved, That tho Blue Label league
of Cigarmukers' union of Pennsylvania,
condemn the practice of employing
child labor, -and 'the Central Labor
Union of Scranton be requested to no
tify the factory Inspector to stop nil
suoh violation of said act of assembly.
Wnutto Incrcnso Its Power.
In order to Increase the power of the
Blue Label league a committee was ap
pointed to Visit the various societies in
th atato or communicate with them In
the Interest of the union-made -cigar.
The resolution afterward adopted
was as follows:
Whereas, There Is a law protecting
the union -label In this state, and this
convention has been called for the ad
vancement of tho Blue Label; therefore
bo I t
Resolved, That we Instruct the secre
tary to communicate with the local
unions throughout the Ktate asking
them to have an agitation committee
nppointed in their respective unions to
visit labor, beneficial, religious, social
and political organizations In their re
spective localities for the purpose of
trying to persuade their members and
their friends to smoke none but union
made cigars.
The majority of the resolutions were
unimportant to the public, relating to
the secret work of the order. The press
was thanked and there was a resolution
appealing to the national officers for
more organizers In Pennsylvania.
Organizations Thut Aro Indorsed.
This Important resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That the Blue Label
League of State of Pennsylvania in
convention assembled do hereby unani
mously indorse the label of the fol
lowing unions: American Federation

FELL FROM THE BRIDGE.
First Accident on tho New Linden Street
Structure.
The first accident to workmen on
tho new Linden street bridge happened
yesterday afternoon at 3.15 o'clock,
when Frank Stangle, a resident of St.
Louis, fell twenty feet, from the false
scaffolding, now being erected to the
Central railroad tracks, beneath.
Stangle Is employed by Foreman
Sheedy, of the bridge construction
company, and was engaged in placing
a heavy piece of timber In a Joist. Sev
eral other workmen were pressing
down on one end of the beam, and all
except Stanglo released their weights
from tho timber.
The unfortunate man clung on and
was lefted from the narrow -foot board
a few feet Into the ntr. Upon attempt
ing to drop to the board he mlsed It
and, after clutching vainly at the ad
Joining beams, was precipitated to the
tracks.
He landed on this left side, and lay
helpless until fellow workmen carried
him to a near-by shanty.
Tho Lackawanna ambulance was
summoned and the Injured man taken
to that Institution, where It was found
that he had severe contusions of the
legs and body. There were no In
ternal Injuries and Stangle will be able
to be out and about In a short time.
He Is unmarried and lives temporarllly
on the West Side.

Purdy's Strango Case.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The strange case of Abram Purdy,
particulars of which you gave In your is
sue of last Saturday, continues to grow
more strange hourly. 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. Ills reason seems to be as
rational as in years gone by. He spoke
to me this morning on a matter that hap
pened In 18!9, and related the particulars
of It with great faithfulness.

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.
