ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Alderman Price Threw Him
self Into Canal and Was
Rescued By Laborer.

Alderman James c. Price, of the Sixth
ward attempted to commit suicide about
nine o clock this morning by throwing
himself headlong into the canal in the
Glendale woods just north of the New
ark trolley line. James Jeffries, laborer
who is employed in the asphalt works not
far away, saw the rash act and rushed
to save the would-be suicide He dove in
after Price, and after desperate struggle,
in which It looked like certain death for
both, Jeffries succeeded in bringing the
Alderman to the bank, The canal is quite
shallow and this. undoubtedly saved the
lives of rescued and rescuer.
Price was worn out from his struggle
and became unconscious. The ambulance
was hurriedly called and Price was re-
moved to the City Hospital. The doctors
worked over him for short time and
brought him around He is still very weak
and it was thought that it would be bet
ter to keep him there for a day or two.
Alderman Price has been ailing for sew
eral months He suffered from a severe
attack of the grip las twinter and never
entirely recovered from its effects. 1t is
said that his mind was partially unbal-
anced by the disease. DR.. Vreeland has

January.
Mr.. Price is a married man residing
with his father at Bramhall and Ram
dolph avenues. He is in the contracting
business and is thoroughly popular
man. A year ago last spring he was
elected over his Republican opponent by
one of the largest majorities ever given a
Democrat in the Sixth Ward. He is about
forty years old.
Mr.. Prices brother when seen this morn
ing, said he knew of no reason for the
rash act. ''The Alderman, said he, has
been aiiing for some time. Only yesterday
ne was attended by DR.. Vreeland. He
left for his business on the west side early
this morning, where he is doing some
work for the asphal company, near where
he attempted to end his life
We have noticed that he was very
cent illness was the cause of his ac-
tions There is no doubt that he must be
suffering from some mental arrangement.
His domestic life is all that a man could
desire.
I'VE learned of his attempted suicide a
few hours ago and We're shocked at the
news.
The Alderman will remain at the hospi-
tai for a few days and then be taken
home. The spot where he sought death Is
but a few minutes walk from the creek
where the unknown German was found
dead yesterday morning.

Mr.. Bergen and the Governor are old
| college chums, and both were con-
templating a trip when they mutually
agreed to cross the ocean just for the
ride and the air The will both sail on
the American Liner st. Paul. and will
return on the same ship. They sail on
Wednesday May Is. and will be back on
time to attend the national convention.
The Governor is not likely to dispose
of the trouble of the State Home Tor
Girls before he goes. The committee has
not completed their report, and it is
stated that a majority of them favor
the removal of Mrs. Eyler. The COM
mittee prefer to wait until the new board
of trustees and women managers are
selected under the law which gave
new name and new organization to the
school
1t Is altogether possible that New Jer-
sey may make an economical experiment
in connection with the selection of elect
ors. Essex county leaders see no rea-
son why the same delegates selected by
the primaries last month to attend the
State convention and nominate delegate
at-large should not be competent to se-
leet the eleetors-at-large. To avoid an
expense OF 3pout three thousdnU OOilafS
for primary elections, it has been decided
that these same delegates shall hold over
for the next State convention.
Other counties think the idea a good
one and it is possible that a majority
! Of the counties will adopt the scheme,
saving themselves trouble and money.
| The same call applies to the two conven-
| tions, and there will be no difference in
| the number OF the delegates.
Senator w. M. Johnston. of Bergen,
| will be the acting Governor of the State
during the Governors absence. He viii
be sworn in as such, although it Is ex-
peeted that he will not have to take hold
OF the reins OF government, for the Cow
fore he sails But he must be sworn in so
las to be prepared for any emergency,
such as acquisitions. riots and the ike.

within three years

that the Republican party there became
divided and George Robeson met his
Waterloo, and he never recovered his
lost prowess in the field of politics. The
next time Mr. Ferrell ran for Congress he
was defeated by the Republican candidate
George Hires. For long time afterward
the political star of Mr.. Ferrell was
clouded Last year, however, it again be-
came effulgent when he ran for the State
Senate in Gloucester county and nearly
defeated Solomon H. Stanger for sec
ond term of office. In consideration of Mr..
FerrelIs political career, then. it is appro-
pirate that he should be kept in politics by
selecting him as a delegate-at-large.

ent Democrats. silver or no silver, and, as

pease the ambition of Mr.. Bergen to be a
Congressman. There is, however, no poli-

really has an ambition to go to Con-
gress, and the way is not clear for him
Governor Voorhees, has about the same
affection for Frank Bergen as he has for
l'Congressnsan Fowler, whom Mr.. Bergen
wishes to succeed.
The Governor sees no reason why his
friend, Congressman Fowler, should not
be returned, and this is no reflection on
Mr.. Bergen. Other friends of Mr.. Ber-
gen have informed him that there is no
doubt about the reelection of Mr.. Fowler
and there was some doubt about the cleo
ton of himself. United States Senator
John Kean has never been a political
admirer of Congressman Fowler, and at
the present time their relations are not
excessively cordial and there is good rea-
