ESCAPE OF MR.. LOGAN MURRAY.
His family are passing the summer a
Spring Lake, six miles from here. Mr.
Murray always takes that especia
train, as it is for the accommodation O
the business men of New York, who

and return in the evening. For the
first time in his life he missed tn,
train, and had to wait for later one
Mr.. Victor Newcomb was seated il
the drawing room car, and escaped
even the wetting and mud, which wa:
the least evil suffered by those in the
smoking car. His brother in-law
Mr.. Charles Smith, went over the
bridge in the smoking car and down
into the creek. He was bruised and
presented sorry spectacle of wet
and muddy clothes when he returned
to his wife at Mr.. Newcomb's cottage.
General Grant enjoyed his usual
immunity from injury. He appears to
bear charmed life, always escaping
in time of danger. Even the business
papers which were in the pockets OF
his coat we're not so injured BY the
water and mud but that they could
be cleansed, dried, and restored. He
lost his hat in the debris, but his
cigar stump escaped without injury,
owing to its close embrace between
his lips, which closed frmer than ever
as be braced himself for the descent.
During the winter and spring Mr..
William Garrison frequently came
down to Long Branch to superintend
the building Of his handsome cottage.
which is the most costly one here. At
those times he accepted the hospital
ity Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Hoey.
Three weeks ago his cottage was I'm
isht d, and he and his family took pos
session, and were prepared to enjoy its
comforts and delights. The lodge to
Mr.. Hoey's fine estate is situated near
the railroad track, so that when the
insensible form Of Mr.. Garrison was
borne from the wreck it was nearer by
a mile to take him to Mr.. Hoey's than
to his own home. To use the phrase
which is common here when speaking
of Mr.. and Mrs Hoey, they are the
best people in the world, the kindest
and the most generous" a profess
sional nurse who had been taking care
Of Mr.. Hoey during an attack Of pneu-
monia was at the house, and Mrs.
Hoey herself is a capital nurse. No
time was lost in summoning the best
medical talent from New York, and
everything was done, and that prompt
~, for the relief Of the sufferers.
There was no fracture or abrasion, and
the physicians could not tell what
were the internal injuries. At first
there was hope that be might recover,
but for sixteen hours before death
hope was given up, and, although un-
conscious, his sufferings and the death
struggle were terrible.
COMMODORE GARRISON,
the father Of William, came down To
his cottage on Tuesday last, and the
family had projected many pleasant
ways of passing the summer. The old
Commodore has four brothers, and on
the 10Th Of this month all of the 1--WE
brothers we're to celebrate the reunion
at the Commodore's cottage. Only
Tuesday the old man mentioned
the remarkable fact that there haC
not been death among the children
Of his parents for sixty years. A little
sister was drowned that long ago
COnant, the artist, was employed t
make preparatory sketches OF the five
brothers, all men of advanced years
and was expected here on the 18th t
paint group of the five on one larg,
canvas. The Commodore is so crushed
by the sudden loss of his only son. anC
one who was his great reliance il
business, that he may lose interest il
the reunion. The Commodore's younI
wife is his devoted attendant in thi
trial; she watches him with tender so
icltude, and comforts him as only
sympathizing wife can. Mr.. William
Garrison leaves a wife, two daughter
and one son.
Col. and Mrs. Fred Grant, who hav
been staying at the Atlantic Hotel

July, 1881, ought tn be highly patrio
