Pittsburg,. Pa. Greatly aroused over the number of automobile acci dents in this city in tho last two weeks the police have determined to prohibit automobile races in the fut ure.

In spite of the fact that sev eral have been killed and many in jured in the last two weeks the work of blood and death ernes nn Tho lives of our people are in danger at every turn. The people of Pittsburg are at present divided into two classes, one owning autos who are trying to break their own and other people's necks, and the others who are trying to dodge. We have tried to stop this speeding, but we seem to be powerless. It appears that when a sensible business man of Pittsburg buys an automobile he becomes inoc ulated with the speed mania, which cannot be checked. We have passed laws, but men who respect every other law laugh at these. The other day I had before me one of the most prominent business men of Pittsburg for speeding his automobile. He seemed very sorry, and I believe he was sincere. He paid his fine and promised never to Bpeed again. When he left my office he got into his auto mobile and started out the Boulevard at a speed of forty miles an hour. The city is auto crazy, that's all." The Coroner's jury in the case of Frank Armstrong, who was killed in an automobile accident on Grant Boulevard last week, returned a ver dict in which the city was censured for having the boulevard torn up.

Saratoga, N. Y. Charles G. Bur ton, of Nevada, Mo., ex-member of Congress, was elected Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic at its forty-first annual en campment here. The new Commander-in-Chief gpras opposed by three candidates. General John T. Wilder, of Knoxville, Tenn.; Charles Bur rows, of Rutherford, N. J., and Pat rick H. Coney, of Topeka, Kan. His plurality was over 300. Other offi cers elected by the encampment were: Lewis C. Griffith, Troy, N. Y., Senior Vice-Commander; William 11. Scott, Atlanta, Ga., Junior Vice-Commander; Dr. T. Lane Taneyhill, Baltimore, Md., Surgeon-General; Bishop Sam uel Fallows, Chicago, 111., Chaplain-in-Chlef. Toledo, O., was selected as the place of meeting for the next en campment. As a result of the parade two vet erans died. Ensign S. Bunce, Past Commander of John E. Griswold Post, of Troy, N. Y., was stricken on Broadway, dying shortly after from heart disease, caused by exposure and over-exertion. Eli S. Robinson, of Post No. 234, New York City, also died at his boarding place. tal when the war was over, braved a piriving storm to marh once more peneath their battle fags. As un mindful of the storm as in the days Of " '61," when youth ind vigor and love of the flag knew no physical bounds, these dwindling thousands passed once more In review. While scores dropped cynt when the rain began to fall theranks held their line and braved the driving storm as if again going to their places in the front of battle. Th4 rain poured with steadily increasing force ashey marched, but through he drenching torrents they kept on Few there were who even held umbrellas. For an hour and more the old soldiers plodded on between linns of cheering people as plucky as themselves, keep ing step to the music. Governor Charles Hughes, his military staff, the national office rsof the Grand Army and distinguished visitors stood on the reviewing stand, poorly shielded from: the driving storm. When the last rank had passed in review the rain ceased, the skies cleared and the sun broke out. The dripping but undaunted old soldiers found their ways to longing places, satisfied that such a trifle as a driv ing rainstorm had no wore arrested their onward march that; it had in the days of war. - The parading distance was reduced to one mile, the shortest ever fixed for the national encampment. For the first time the parade was limited to members of the Grand Army in stead of being open to all survivors of the war. I The village was ablaze with the I national of buildings, festooned at every con venlent point strung in rows at short intervals across the streets and com pletely covering the inferior of the great convention hall where the ses sions of the encampment were held. One of the features of the parade was the presence of a big flag which cov ered the body of General Grant on its way from Mount McGregor to the tomb. In custody of the Gren adier. Guard, commanded by Colonel A. S. Fowler, of Little-Rock, Ark., of which every man ;as over six feet tall, and each represented one of. the forty-five departments of the G." A. R., this old flag brought up the rear. MAY GET JAMESTOWN SITE. NEGRO TROOPS FOR NEW YORK. Regiment is Ordered to Barracks Near Watertown and Oswego. Washington, D.C. General Oliver, Acting Secretary of War, issued an order that will probably cause a com motion in New York, his home State. It provides for the relief of a num ber of regiments that have been Serv ing in the Philippines for more than the full allotted term of two years, and the point of interest is found in the fact that included in the return ing organizations is a negro regiment the Twenty-fourth Infantry. With the dispatch to the Philippines of the Twenty-fifth Infantry soma months ago, the United States was left with out any negro troops except a few short-term cavalry men employed in the stables at the West Point Military Academy. When the proposition was made about two months ago to return the negro troops several strong protests were made to the department by Con gressmen and other prominent per sons representing communities where, it was retorted, these troops were to be posted. General Oliver has settled the matter by ordering these soldiers into his own State. Believed That Exposition Co. Will Fail to Repay Government Loan. Norfolk, Va. No statement was forthcoming regarding trie failure of the Jamestown Exposition Company to remit to the Government an ac count of its $1,000,000 loan.

The exposition is now going along with a good attendance, but the re ceipts are not up to what had been expected. The explosion is having trouble collecting concession money. BOY TO PRISON FOB MFE.

TOO MUCH MARRIED George Brummel's Mistake Gets Him Into a Peck of Trouble. High? Point, Special. A warrant was served on George Brummel Sat urday afternoon charging him with bigamy. "Some years ago Brummel and his wife became separated she going West to see relatives. In the meantime Brummel claims that he heard or had good reasons to beliee his wife was dead, and therefore mar ried again. 'But it seems that wife No. 1 was pretty much alive and neither she nor Brummel had secured a divorce. Appearing on the scene here and finding that Brummel was married again, things looked squally for a while, buFsomehow the matter was kept parleying with lawyers. It No. 1 money her. aoeisufi.5. .siir. . was reported that Brummel had given wife No. 1 money to go her wa and let him and spouse No. 2' live in peace, but wile No. 1 has turned up again and sues her husband for bigamy.
