MAN FELL FROM TRESTLE
Joseph Grady Tried to Escape
Two Trains and Drop
ped Thirty Feet.

In trying to escape being run down and
killed by fast approaching freight train
on the Lehigh Valley trestle at Johnston
avenue, last evening, Joseph Grady, fifty
years old, of No. 610 Grand street, slipped
on one of the beams and was precipitated
to the pavement, a distance of thirty feet
or more. Just as he fell from the bridge
the two freight trains came rushing
along, one on each track Grady would
certainly have been chopped up had he
not fallen.
The fall, although serious one, saved
his life. In another ten seconds he would
have ben run down. He could not run
fast enough to escape the train coming
along on the track on which he was walk
ing an to cross to the opposite track
would have meant certain death as a
train was swiftly approaching from the
opposite direction. He attempted to run
and slipped. In his fall, he sustained a
serious scalf wound and divers cuts and
bruises on the body. He was picked up
for dead by some railroad men and car
ried OF a saloon until the ambulance ar
rived. His condition is not serious.

THAT WANSER TRANSPARENCY.

A good story is being circulated on the
Hill by number of Republicans regard
ing the efforts of the Wanser Republican
Club to erect a transparency on the club
house at Harrison and Crescent avenues
The same night that the National Con-
vention at Philadelphia nominated Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt, the Wansers passed
lengthy resolutions extolling the virtues
of these candidates and giving the club
power to go ahead and erect a magnificent
transparency that would do justice to the
club and give the members great cause
for rejoicing. A special committee was
appointed to see to the carrying out of
these resolutions. Now, after six weeks,
the persons who are in position to know,
announce that the club canpt get the
money together. About 5000 was to have
been spent for this purpose, but from all
accounts few are handing up"
President Weastell, however, announced
that the club could get all the money 1t
wanted for campaign purposes. This was
several weeks ago. Johnnys bluff has not
been made good and the transparency
will not adorn the imposing clubhouse.

TRIBUTE TO W. D. DAILY.
Col. Dean Tells Young Demo-
Gratis of the Congress-.
mems Career.

Col Dean visited the Young Mems
Democratic Club, last night and eu1ogized
the Hon. William D. DAILY. He said
FROM my acquaintance with William
DAILY and from the very favorable opinion
entertained Of him by his most intimate
friends, l am free to state that he was a
character without reproach. He was
polite, honorable, upright and con-
scientious, and his thoughtfulness for the
welfare of others was a distinguishable
characteristic. Possessing the gentlest,
noble nature, with every attraction Of
person and character. fortified by tact,
energy and pluck, he claims the admira-
tion of every one who knew him. He was
friend of the poor, of the toiler, of the
wage-earner, and of the oppressed and
down trodden.
In politics he was e nard worker, tire
less and interchangeable He loved his
party and was a staunch, true and tried
friend and loyal supporter of its county
leader, Robert Davis His affability. his
truthfulness and sincerity commanded
the respect of all with whom he came in
contact.
He was busy man, a hard working
man. He was a self made man. He
knew books and he read books. but he
knew men and read men better, hence his
great success as a criminal lawyer He
made enemies, he had enemies, but for
every enemy he made, by reason of his
intieXible character and his positive asser-
tion of opinion. he made a thousand
friends. He was a sterling Democrat, a
disciple of Thomas Jefferson and a follower
of Andrew Jackson. He was man OF
noble impulses with a high sense OF
honor He was an honest man
Billy Daily is no more. He needs no
monument of marble or bronze; his monu-
ment is in the hearts of his grateful coun-
trymen. Strive my friends to emulate the
noble example of good men, so that when
we are called upon to enter the dark val
ley of the shadow of death, and when
our bodies have been consigned to their
last resting place. we may assemble
around that great white throne. a happy
and united brotherhood

". D. DALY'S SUCCESSOR.
Hoos and McDermott Named
Mr.. Davis Too Shocked
to Speak Yet.

Already local politicians are discussing
the successor to the late Congressman w.
D. Daily and whether or not the Governor
shall call special election to fill the
vacancy or should a successor and one
to begin the new term from March A, 1901,
be nominated at the approaching
fall election? These are the topics eager
ly talked about.
Mr.. Robert Davis was asked these ques-
tions this morning. He shook his head
when successor to Mr.. Daily was named.
1T is too early to discuss that matter.
We are all too much shocked at Mr.
Daly'S sudden death to think about nam
ing anyone to fill his shoes. Why it is
only few days ago at his request 1

his family is stopping. He was in town
en- Monday, but 1 did not see him. had
just left the City Hall few minutes yes
serday morning before the sad news of
his death was brought to the city and I
was not informed of it until late in the
day.
In and about the City Hall the political
phase is of course freely talked over and
many Democrats would like to see Sena-
tor Allan L. McDermott nominated. The
Senator is fast recovering from a serious
Illness and is able to attend to his official
duties. The name of Mayor Hoos has
also been mentioned. Mr.. Alexander c..
Young it is unnecessary to say will be
a candidate on his own hook and a friend
of his said today that the nomination be-
longed to Hoboken.
THAT ia not So" said a Democratic

tion belongs to the whole county and it is
a question of the strongest Democrat to
fill the BILL Hoboken has no more pre-
ference than Jersey CITY,"
The news of the sudden death of Con-
gressman William d. Daily came as a
shock to the State officials at the State
House. Governor Voorhees, has not yet
decided whether or not he will call spec
ial election to fill the vacancy in the Con-
gressional delegation thus created. The
law covering the point is very clear as to
the duties of the Governor 1t says
Whenever any vacancy, or vacancies,
shall happen in the representation of this
State in the House of Representatives it
shall be the duty of the Governor forth
with to issue a writ of election to fill such
vacancy, or vacancies, unless the term of
service for which the person or persons,
whose office, or offices, shall become va
cant, will expire within two months next
after the happening of such vacancy, or
vacancies
Speaking on the subject the Governor
said Congressman Days term would
have expired in March, 1901. His seat
will be vacant from the calling of Con-
gress until that date / can see no
necessity now for the calling of a special
election to fill the vacancy. but if it
should become necessary through the
calling together of Congress in a special
session, may call an election. 1t
seems to me now that it viii be better
to let the matter go until the regular
election in November. Thus good
deal Of expepse to the State would be
avoided.
