Death of G. L. Cum mings,


George 1. Cummings, the harness maker
of 104 Orange street, was found in his
store in an unconscious condition by Louis
Eager about 0 o'clock Saturday night 1t
was found that he had been stricken with
apoplexy. He was removed to the hospi-
tai, where he remained unconscious until
his death, which occurred about noon yes
terday.
Mr.. Cummings was never married, his
nearest living relatives being three broth
ers-John, who resides in Woodbridge,
Frank H. and Samuel T. Cummings of
this city. The deceased was New Haven
born man, who has resided here nearly all
his life of sixty-seven years. He was ia
military known as like" and had consider
able popularity and no enemies as far as
known. For many years he was associat-
ed with his brother Frank, with whom he
occupied Church street store in the Ex-
change building, where the firm dealt in
fine harness and carriage goods. In 1856
he was in the same business in Macon, Ga.
In February of the latter year he started
to return home on q vessel which was one
of very many that were shipwrecked on
Squan Beach, on the New Jersey coast. A
large number of vessels were shipwrecked
in the same storm, which vas one of the
most disastrous storms on record. The
snow was deep on land at the time, and
the weather was bitter cold. ALI of the
passengers and crew of the vessel on
which Mr.. Cummings was a passenger
were saved, and the vessel referred to was
the only one whose entire crew and pas
sengers were all saved. Three hundred
lives were lost from one ship which was
one of the twelve vessels wrecked in the
fearful gale
During this storm an old pilot, whose
home was a short distance from the shore,
went to the coast to see if he could render
assistance to anyone. He met Mr.. Cum
mings, who had managed to swim to
the shore. Mr.. Cummings started to
reach the home of the pilot but fell ex-
hausted in the snow, where he was found
by the pilots daughter, who had started
out after her father. The heroic girl
aroused Mr.. Cummings and took him
home, where he arrived in helpless con-
dition, when the young woman proved a
most successful nurse. She removed part of
his clothing, which was as wet as could
be, and rubbed him and cared for him
until he was out of danger.
The deceased was member of Hiram
lodge, F. and A. NJ.

SJust Goods

Say some dealers who try to sell substi-
tute preparation when a customer calls for
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Do not allow any
such false statements as this induce You to
buy what you do not want Remember
that the only reason for making it is that
few cents more profit will be made on the
substitute. Insist upon having the best
medicine-HoOd's Sarsaparilla. 1t is pecul-

Transport to be Turned Over to the
Proper Authorities.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, July 5.-The Chilian
transport Itata and the United States
cruiser Charleston arrived in port yester-
day, direct from Iquique. The Itata en-
tered the harbor and anchored in the chan
mel, while the Charleston remained outside
the head. The Itata was at once boarded
by revenue officers. The Itata and Charles
ton came direct from Iquique, being out
twenty-three days. When off the Coro-
nado hotel about mile the Charleston let
go her anchors and the Itata steamed into
the bay. At 10 o'clock she reached the
identical anchorage whence she eloped SO
sensationally some weeks ago with the
United States marshal on board
The wharves were soon crowded with
people, all anxiety to get a look
at the vessel, and the bay
was dotted in every direction with sailing
craft of all descriptions. AS soon as posi-
BILE officer Churchill, in charge of the YES
SELL came ashore and telegraphed his re-
port to the department at Washington.
The Itata came in flying the Gillian flag
covered with bunting in honor of the day
and carrying as officers the same men who
manned her when she left so suddenly,
with the exception of Silva Palma, com
mander of the Esmeralda, and two or
three of his officers, who assis ted the Itata
to get out on her last visit, brought her
in There is no new crew, the Charlestown
having simply put on officer on board and
conveyed her up, leaving her navigation
to the original crew under Military Com
mander Tejede and Captain Mauzean. The
vessel icame direct and made an average of
between eight and nine knots. The Itata's
machinery, which was said to have been
purposely damaged by the insurgents, is
declared to have worked admirably until
the last two or three days of the journey.
Arrangements were Immediately made to
turn the vessel over to the proper United
States authorities. The Charleston, it is
understood, will remain outside until Mon
day to engage in target practice, but will
then come into the harbor. While lying at
her anchorage about a mile west of the
Coronado, the Charleston was visited by
hundreds of people in steam tugs and sail
ing vessels, and trainloads of people came
in tonight from Los Angeles, San Bernar-
dino and intermediate points to see the two
vessels

Four Murderers Confined at Sing
Sing to BE Electrocuted To-Day.
SING SING, N. Y, July 5.-All prepare
tons for the execution of the four muir
derers who are under sentence of death
here were completed to-day.
At o'clock this evening the death
watch was placed around the prison wall.
The guards were uniformed and armed
with repeating rifles, with instructions to
shoot any one who approached the prison
within the line without authority.
At late hour tonight report reached
the headquarters of the newspaper men
that Warden Brown had notified those
holding invitations to be at the prison not

From that it is believed that the first ex-
execution will take place soon after sun

ecutions will follow in rapid succ ession.
It is thought that some of the wit
nesses have entered the prison under cover
