HIS DEATH A MYSTERY.
NO ONE KNOWS HOW JOHN MARRER
WAS INJURED.
A FATAL ACCIDENT AT NEwARK's FOURTH OF
JULY CELEBRATIoN-THE VICTIM SEEMS
TO HAVE PASSED IN FRONT OF
CANNON AT THE MOMENT

JULY CELEBRATIoN-THE VICTIM SEEMS
TO HAVE PASSED IN FRONT OF
CANNON AT THE MOMENT
OF ITS DISCHARGE.
Acting County Physician Bruinley, OF Newark.
stated to-day that he had not yet investigated
the cannon accident at Military Park on Satur-
day night by which John Marrer received in
jures from which he died a few hours later at
st. Michaers Hospital. County Physician Wash
ington. who Is out OF town. will be OF his Office
tomorrow and Will likely order an inquest.
The accident appears to be a mysterious one,
and nobody seems to know Just how it happened.
Marrer, Rudolph Stager and Herman e. Meyer.
the latter's father-in-aw. had been engaged by
the city to fire off the salute in connection with
the Fourth Of July celebration They had
large brass cannon, which stood In the park on
the outskirts OF a crowd OF about 10000 people
who were watching the city's fireworks exhibit
tion Marrer walked In front Of the muzzle OF
the cannon just as it went of and received the
full charge In the back. He sank to the ground
with groan. and several persons who were near
the cannon picked him UP and carried him out
onto the sidewalk, while others ran to summon
an ambulance Thousands who were within
few yards Of the cannon did not Know that there
had been an accident, as they were looking the
other way.
Marrer was unconscious when the ambulance
arrived and he was taken to St. Michaers Hos
pital The driver told the sisters IN charge tnat
Marrer had been struck by troey-car.
When Marrer's body was examined his BACK
wes found to be filled with powder. ana ne nad
been almost literally torn in half This satisned
the hospital attendants that the man had been
shot instead Of being run over Later Nlarrer
recovered consciousness. and remained conscious
long enough to say that he had been SHOT ne
then relapsed into Inconsistencies again ana
sank rapidly until he died. The short time that
Marrer was conscious he suffered the most IN
tense agony. his screams being heard IN every
ward of the hospital.
Meyer and Stager. who were firing the cannon
with Marrer are unable. they claim. to explain
how the accident occurred. All they know IS
that the cannon went off and Marrer dropped.
Neither will admit that he fired the gun.
Marrer was ffty-nve years old and was an
il srector in the employ of the Board OF WORKS
He had formerly carried on an extensive SOFA
water business but retired two years ago lie
leaves widow and three grown daughters.
