ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO SECURE DECREE "The second attempt of Elsie Gray to secure a divorce from Paul Gray was successful this morning. Charges of abandonment were made by the plaintiff. An attempt was made to secure a divorce from the defendant several months ago on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment though the court refused the decree at the time as the plaintiff was unable to prove the charges alleged. The defendant has been living apart from the plaintiff for more than two years as is necessary in case the decree was granted on charges of abandonment. Mrs. Gray told the court she was married July 30, 1910, and lived with her husband eight months. After he deserted her he wrote her a letter telling her he was going to have a good time and for her to do the same, she said. She also told the court that her mother was compelled to take in washing to support the family. llV INCREASES IN JUNE Reports at the monthly meeting of the Y. M. C.

Bulletin SOFIA, BULGARIA, July 12. Scores of men were shot in the streets here this afternoon in a general uprising against the government aroused by the first published news of recent defeat of the Bulgarian troops and the ; placid manner in which Roumanian declaration of war is being treated by the government. The palace is surrounded by a mob demanding the abdication of Czar Ferdinand. BAYER WANTS AUTO; WILL PAY "UP-KEEP )) Sheriff Bayer will make application to the county commissioners for the purchase of an automobile at a future meeting of the officials.

ANOTHER CHAPTER TO THE ROBBERIES

What is supposed to be another chapter added to the record of robberies through a "fence" at Fort Wayne which had its beginning in the arrest of Samuel Miller and Theodore Craig who are charged in Richmond with grand larceny, was recorded with the arrest of a Pennsylvania brakeman and several express sorters at Fort Wayne. The brakeman and sorters are held under $1,000 bonds and will face a petit larceny charge in the Fort Wayne city court next week. The men are Brakeman Clarence S. Stoner and Express Sorters A. G. Guenther. Martin Malone and James Underwood. All live in Fort Wayne with the exception of Underwood who gave his residence as Chicago. The sorters were employes of the Adams Express Company and are said to have been stealing from the company since last January. They are charged with taking goods worth J4,000. Captain Stoll of the Pennsylvania railroad has been investigating with express company detectives and obtained a confession from each of the men with the exception of Malone who it is believed will make a confession of the theft soon. Malone and Underwood probably will be charged in the federal court with violation of the Carlin act which makes it a felony to tamper with interstate express packages. The articles reported missing were taken from the car in which the sorters were working. Practically all the stolen stuff consists of wearing apparel. The officials believe that these men are members of the car robbers who have been stealing thousands of dollars from the G. R. & I. and the Pennsylvania railroads. Miller's and Craig's arrests were the first. These men were brought here and later released on bond. The date has not been set for their trial. FUNERAL SUNDAY The funeral of Wesley Spahr of Union county will be held from his home three miles southeast of Abington tomorrow afternoon.

IS DR, ZIMMERMAN OfO CANDIDATE?

Mr. Hanes stated today that he would not enter ! the race nor take any part in poll-1 tics. I "Other candidates are afraid of j Mayor Zimmerman," said Mr. Iliff. ; "The strong Republicans of the city believe that to run against Zimmerman would be certain defeat."
