MYSTERIOUS DROWNING ACCIDENT.

Wallace R. Rnsencrans of Newark Fell
Overheard in Newark Bay.
Police superintendent Smith and
Captain Nugent of the Fifth precinct
are busily engaged in unraveling the
mystery surrounding the death by
drowning of Wallace r. Rosenerans,
who keeps a SALON at No. 335
Ogden avenue, Newark. Three
men are now in the custody Of
the Newark police. These are the men
who were with Roseucrans at the time of
the, according to the men. accident. The
facts OF the case are as follows: The
three men, Michael Sullivan, Peter
Leonard and Frederick Laux, all of
Newark, together with RoSencrans,
went out in a boat from
the boathouse in Newark near The
Passaic draw bridge presumably TO fish,
They apparently We're diverted from
that purpose. for early in The AFTERNOON
they put into UuIrlch's boathouse at
Greenville. They left their boat at the float
and going to a saloon nearby began
drinking very heavily. 1t was noticed
here that Rosencrans was the moneyed
man. He did all the treating. In a snort
time two of the party, Rosencraus and
another We're pretty druhk. Rosencrans
was 10 a fighting humor.
When they returned To the float they
learned that another party had borrowed
their beat. They were very angry and
when Lawrence Hager of McAdoo avenue
and mis- friends, the party which bor-
rowed the boat returned, RosencraEs up
braided them very tiercely. He demanded
that they pay fifty cents towards the
boats hire CT treat the crowd to drinks.
This was refused by Hager.
Rosencrans then struck Hager aud
Rager pushed Rosencrans away. The
litter stumbled aud fell overheard. He
was isned out very wet u uuhurt. His
wrath was not cooled by his sudden bath.
He aud his ffiendS went to the Fifth pre-
cinct station house and asked to have
Hager arrested. They were told to apply
to Justice Kimmeriy Monday morning.
They lhen started to return to the
b~oathouse. Sullivan, one OF the Newark
party, was trying 10 calm Rosencrans.
When his efforts proved unavaliiDg he
became disguised aud left for Newark by
the tow path of the Morris and Essex
canal. This was the last seen of
him in Greenville. The others embarked
in thei r boat, bound for Newark. LICK
Ulrich advised them to take the train,
thinking them too dIunk to Bavlgate the
craft. His advice WAS rejected.
This was about 1880 2. NJ. and close on
to night fall. In about an hour Two
OF the three returned, saying that Rosen-
Grams bad fallen overheard while trying
to measure the depth of tie water with
an oar and had been drowned.
They left for Newark. where they were
arrested early Monday morning by the
Newark police. Captain Nugent tele-
phoned the matter TO headquarters.
From there il was 'phoned TO Newark
with the result stated ABOVE.
Men are out searching for the body.
Nothing definite viii be known until the
body is found. Then the condition Of the
body, the clothes, and, most of all. the
man's money, will determine whether a
crime has been committed or not.

THE peace and good order which
characterized the festival of Labor,
yesterday, are highly creditabie to
the working men of the country. So
far as we can see, there was not one
act of v~iolence-or. yes. there was
one, some workmen gave way for a
few moments to a natural impulse to
lynch a sceundrel who cried out,
"Hoch die Anarchie," or let An
archy Flourish But even they were
easily dissuaded, and surrendered the
common enemy to the officers of the
law.
This IS an admirable record, for the
times are trying, and, on the whole,
the workingman has the worst end Of
the situation. Good sense and sound
political science are a poor substitute
for work and hread
But the end OF the trouble rs at
hand, we believe. Light is breaking
in various directions. Business is
stirring up and industry is acquiring a
new impulse. In the coming winter,
we are confident, the werkingman
will find compensation for his pa
thence and endurance. in comfort and
plenty for himself and his dependents.
Next Labor Day We hope will be
marked by a great outpouring of
thanks for prosperity in which all
classes shall share alike, as all have
shared in the hard times.

Mayor Wan ers Home Gem ng.
The JoHrAGt was wrong, as usual,
in its announcement last Saturday
that Mayor Wanser would be at his
desk i'll the City Hall. today. The
New York papers fell into the same
error through copying from the
Jowsaal, instead of waiting for THE
NEWS, as they generally do. Mayor
Wanser will probably be at his desk
tomorrow morning. He is expected
to return to the city this evening. We
understand he returns in better health
and spirits than he has enjoyed in
years.
We congratulate both the Mayor
and the citizens upon this suspicious
occasion. Though we have had a
diligent, conscientious and capable
man at the head of the city govern
ment in Mr.. Reuben Simpson, it will
give every good citizen cordial plea
sure to know that the man whom
they especially chose to conduct their
affairs IS once more at his post. The
sentiment of gratitude on public
grounds. which all feel towards Mayor
Wanser, has besides developed a per-
sonal interest in ais we'll being, some
what akin to friendship, even among
people who have never met him. His
honesty, vigor and direetness of pur-
pose have begotten a. admiration
which has been warmed and softened
by sympathy for his sickness and suf-
fering. His hona coming awakens a
genuine pleasure in the community.
The Mayor will find plenty of work
to do, as of old. Public affairs are
neither better nor worse than when
he went away. The same old Street
and Water Board is there. and it is
just as crooked as ever. If His Honor
will try his recovered strength in
kicking the five gentlemen, who mai
administer the Board, out OF office,
he will magnify the congratulations
upon his return into an absolute ova-
ton.
