up and able to talk. but no one could un-
derstand him. He was hurried to the City
Hospital in the Fifth precinct police pa
troll wagon.
According to an eye witness the man

ly seek ing death. He was walking lefs-
urely along the east bound track when

curve a trif1e south of the Greenville
station. The engineer saw the man and
whistled repeatedly.
When within two hundred feet of the
man, the engineer noticing that he paid
no attention to the signals, threw on the
air brake in a vain endeavor to stop the
trai. In the meantime several on the
station platform were shouting to the
man, but he did not even look up.
The train bore down on him at a some

journed until next Sunday afternoon,

effected at the Waldorf Hotel, Gutten-
berg.
Boulevard Commissioners Daniel Y.
Lewis and Charles Rirdsall were among
those present The latter explained that
the Boulevard Commissioners had tried
for a long while to give the horsemen OF
the county a speedway, but that the
problem was a difficult one to solve
He said however, that it was through
the efforts of the Commissioners that the
Bayonne City Council on Tuesday night
removed all restrictions on speed on Ave
nue. B, from Thirty-fourth to Fifteth
streets. Mr.. BirdsaIl expressed the hope
that some of the northern townships
would follow Bayonne's example He de-
clared that such action had a tendency
to omen up and develop such sections OF
the suburban cities and towns.

| sneeches and other matters concerning
the scope of the work of the association
were discussed in an informal manner.
Some of the leading men interested are
owners of flyers.

S2,4OO FOR EYLER INQUIRY
Governor Voorhees, Says the
Committee Need Not
Recommend.
Especial to ''The Jersey city News."1


TRENTON, May 8, 19OO-Mr. Charlock
clerk of the Eyler Investigating Commit
tee, yesterday presented to Governor
Voorhees, the bill for the investigation,
which amounts to $2,4OO This includes
the stenographer's fees, the salary of
Mr.. Charlock and all other expenses. The
bill was approved by the Governor and
the State Comptroller. The Legislature
appropriated $1,000 to cover the expenses
of the committee.
The fact that no counsel was employed
to conduct the examination or prepare
the case resulted in the introduction OF a
volume of extraneous matter into the tes-
timony, and this ran the stenographic bill
UP close to $1,000 A small allowance is
made to the clerk, Palmer Charlock, and
the sergenat-at-arms, Frank Tantum
The committee report to the Governor
will be made at an early date. In speak
ing of the work of the committee yester-
day. Governor Voorhees, expressed the
opinion that it is not the function of the
committee, in it's report, to make any re-
concentrations or suggestions as to the
management of tht school, but merely to
submit the evidence that was taken
during the investigation.
The Governor is not yet prepared to an
nounce the appointment of new Board
of Trustees, and until he does so the
present Board will continue to manage
the institution
When questioned concerning the delay
the Governor stated yesterday that he
had been so engrossed with the judiciary
appointments that he had not had time
to take up the Girls Home board
"These sensational newspapers have let
ND on the Home, and everything seems
to be going along smoothly at the institu-
tion," the Governor added.

IT WAS NOT THE GOVERNOR.
Voorhees, Rich Uncle Made the
$4,000 Gift to Missions.

Governor Voorhees, was very much sur
prised when he got up yesterday morn
ing to find that he was credited with hav-
ing given $1,000 to the Reformed Church
of America. The Governor was at first IN
clined to wonder whether he had been
dreaming during the night, or whether he
had suddenly become a millionaire.
Investigation, however, showed that
in the neports of the gift published yes
terday, an uncle of Governor Voorhees,
had been confounded with the Governor.
This uncle lives at clinton, the Governor s
old home He is totally blind and is re-
ported to be worth about s1,50O,0o0. Last
year he gave through the Presbyterian
Church S150,00O for missions, education
and benevolence and in February he gave

ELOPENENT SEPARATION.
Il,
Health Inspector Benjamin's
Son Weds Miss Ebesson
Against Her Parents
Wishes.

The elopement of Richard Fl. Benjamin,
a son Of Health Inspector Benjamin. to
Miss Jennie Ebesson, of No. 104 High
land avenue, became known yesterday
with subsequent UNPLEASANT developments.
The couple were welded on Sunday, April
%, by the Rev. Cornelius Brett, d. D., Of
the Bergen Reformed Church. The cere-
mony was performed in the parsonage on
the afternoon of that day Miss Me-
Laughlin, DR.. Brett's housekeeper. and q
Miss Clark of New York. a friend of the
BRIDES, were the witnesses.
The marriage was in opposition to the
wishes of the brides parents, who stated
that they will take steps to have the mar
riage annulled. The bride is twenty-one
years old. She became acquainted with
Benjamin about fifteen months gao.
Miss Ebesson said yesterday that young
Benjamin was never a welcome visitor
at her home and that he was told SO
several times.
She stated that both she and her hus-
band had refused to consent to the mar
riage, and had told him to discontinue his
calls.
Miss Ebesson left her home shortly after
noon on April q, and she has not seen
her parents since. Benjamin went to his
wife's' parents house that evening and
demanded his wife's clothes. Her mother
refused the request.
The couple are now living at the home
of the brides cousin, Mrs. F. Hahn. on
Johnston avenue and Pine street. Mrs.
Ebesson was frantic with rage over the
matter when seen regarding the elopment.
"We objected from the very first to our
son-in-law," said she. HE is incapable of
taking care of my daughter. He said he
married my daughter out of pure spite,
and that we would be forced to reIent
and take them back. If it is possible to
separate them legally it shall be done"
