BY this time Captain Hill had become
aware Of the accident and reversed his
engine. When the steamer got up to the
scene Of the accident, both boys were grad

out to Clarence Verrill, who was on the
steamer, that he could not hold out any
longer. Young Yerrill literally tore of his
clothing and plunged in to assist O'Neil.
The two men, by strong efforts, managed TO
get both boys on the steamer.
Both were unconscious. Captain Hill
rolled them on keg and finally restored
them to consciousness. Both 0'Neil and
Verrill were nearly exhausted. The boys

SUICIDE OF A WEALTHY MAN.
Shoots Himself in the Head With u
Rife

New York, July S.-John W. Dey. a
wealthy retired citizen of Hightstown. n.
j., committed suicide yesterday by shoot
ing himself. He placed the muzzle of an
old-fashioned rifle in his mouth and blew
the top of his head almost OFF. The sui
eide was planned with great care. He ate
his breakfast and then retired to his room,
and after closing the door sat upon the
side of his bed and placed the muzzie OF
the rifle in his mouth.
From the fact that one of his shoes was
off his foot it was supposed that he at
first intended the pull the trigger with his
foot. He. however. bent a poker so that
the end formed a hook and pulled the
trigger with that.
The suicide left a strange note in the
pocket of his trousers, which read as fol-
lows:
II have made mistakes for which l can't
account. l hope the Lord Will have mer-
cy on my soul and protect my innocent
daughter
He leaves only a daughter. who is a
young woman. His friends cannot under
stand the reference in the note to mis-
takes. He was an estimabie and wealthy
