Pennsylvania." This ordinance was refered back by the select body and at the special meeting of the common branch they did the same. It developed in going over the map of the street and property near the bridge that when the old bridge was done away with there remained a small piece of flatiron shaped property on the western side of the old bridge. This it seems is the property of the Greggs and will likely be vacated by the city, as well as the old bridge approach on the other side in front of the Oliver store. For this matter the ordinance was refered. A resolution transferring an additional sum for the completion of the improvement on Fourth street in Monongahela, was refered also by select while the common branch at their meeting followed suite.

OLD STYLE KRYPTOK New Eagle Road Will Again JIave Its Innings With State Department WILL GO TO HARRISBURG At a meeting of the New Eagle Bor ough Council Friday night the follow ing resolution was passed in connection with the repairs of the unfinished tion of the state highway which has been under discussion for some time: "It appearing to Council that the township road north of the power house of the Pittsburgh Street Railways is in a condition dangerous to public, and its condition exposes the borough to liability for suit for damages it is hereby resolved that the sewers and highway committee make such repairs on road as are required and place same in a condition reasonably safe for public travel; it is understood however, that the council does not by this action int nd to assume any control over oi liability for said road further than to make it safe for public travel." One of the county commissioners was interviewed last week as to the status of the affairs, and he stated that they knew nothing of the abrogation of the contract and that they stood ready at any time to proceed with their part of the contract, lne uarrou road supervisors are ready and willing, but it seems that the Pittsburgh street rail ways company is the bone of contention. The matter was generally discussed at the meeting of council and some members wanted to start proceedings in court, but it was decided to send a committee of representative men to Harrisburg and put the matter up to Governor Tener. One or two men have signified their willingness of making the trip. Frank R. Colvin to-day had an interview with Governor John K.

Tener concerning the completion of the road, the governor being at his home in Char-leroi to vote. A date was fixed for Thursday, September 18, when the governor and the entire state highway department will meet a committee from this district, and some arrangement will likely be made looking toward the completion of the highway. Joseph Roth, one of the Carroll Township Road Supervisors, John H. Roadman, President of New Eagle Council and Frank Colvin, have signified their intention of attending, and it is probable that several other prominent citizens will go with the party. The matter will be put up to Governor Tener and the State Highway.De-partment in a forceable way and there is a probality that some action will be taken looking toward the completion of this important piece of highway.

Joy, at one time a successful and well known man of Donora, Monday afternoon drank a quantity of carbolic acid and ended his life. After gulping down the deadly dose he stag-gsred to the office of a justice of the peace, where he had learned his wife was making charges against him and breathed his last in the presence of the woman whom he denounced with his breath. Mr. Joy was 68 years of age and generally liked. He had been a residett of Donora for some 10 years and was formerly the proprietor of a grocery store.

Within the past two years be had lost his grocery business and had recently been conducting a small fish market. It is claimed that Joy had had trouble with Mrs. Joy, who was his second wife, for several years. The past two years he had spent little time at home. Last week Joy took a room in the Sprague building at Donora, Saturday night Mrs.

Joy called the police and had them investigate serious charges she made against her husband. The police failed to find anything amiss. Yesterday morning Joy went to the office of Justice W. F. Coatesworth, where he spent nearly two hours in talking over his troubles with the justice.

He declared life had been made unbearable for him. Leaving the office of the justice he went to a drug store where he purchased five cents worth of carbolic acid stating he wished to use it to remove a callous place from his foot and asking for directions as to handling the poison. From the drug store Joy went to the family home in McKean avenue. There he learned ronv some of his children that his young wife had gone to the office of Justice Coatesworth for the purpose of preferring charges of assault and battery against.him. Immediately after learning this he gulped down the acid.

He then staggered from the house and started for the office of Justice Coatesworth. J. H. Ostander assisted him into the office. At the threshold Joy met his wife.

Shrieking at her. "Go away from here, I don't want to see you. You have driven me to hell," Joy pushed by -her into the office and sank into a chair. He then told Justice Coatesworth he had taken poison and wished to die. The justice hastily summoned two physicians who did all they could for the man.

Joy died, however, within an hour. The body was removed to the Rabe morgue. Joy was 68 years of age and besides his wife leaves nine children.
