DROPPED FROM TREsTLE
Man Without Money Said to
Have Attempted
Suicide.

A middle-aged man with black beard,
comparatively well dressed, entered the
Lackawanna Railroad depot at Hoboken,
at $50 o'clock last night and inquired as
to the way to Melville, N. J. He said that
he had no money and intended to walk.
One of the baggage hands directed him
to go over Jersey City Heights and then
follow the turnpike to Newark. The man
started off apparently on his Journey.
Half an hour later conductor on one
of the North Hudson County Railway
trolley cars reported that he had seen a
man hanging by his hands from the
stringpiece of the elevated trolley road
near Monroe street. Upon investigation
the man was found lying unconscious in
the street directly under the trestle. His
spine was broken and his head was cut.
The man proved OF be the same person
who had inquired the way to Melville.
1t is believed that he dropped from the
elevator structure with the deliberate in
tentions of comming suicide.
He was removed to st. Marys Hospital.
1t was said there this morning that he
could not live. Nothing was found upon
the mans person that would reveal his
identity. His pockets We're empty.

UNION WAGE SCALE
Fight on That and New
Rules to Agitate Am
algamated.

Local Union No. 13, Amalgamated Sheet
Metal Workers of Jersey City, held a
meeting last night in the National As
sembly room, No. 642 Newark avenue, and
discussed the matter of formulating a new
set of working rules, and also the
advisability of making a demand for
higher wages.
A committee was appointed to draft the
new rules.
The wage scale has long been a source
of contention between the unions em-
bracing Greater New York and Hudson
county. The minimum rate in Manhattan
and Brooklyn for sheet metal workers is
1915 per day. In Hudson county the min
mum rate is 50. This difference in wages
has caused friction between the New
York and Hudson county sheet metal
workers.
The employers in Manhattan and Brook
lyn are in controversy over the pay
ment for labor for cornice and skylight
work. The lower wages paid by the Hud-
son county employers is a source OF vex-
alton.
While the members of the two unions
of sheet metal workers in Hudson county
since their organization, they have not
demanded an increase of wages equal to
that paid in Greater New York. They
now are firmly established and having
the backing of the Building Trades Coun-
ell of Hudson County are in position TO
make their demand for an Increase of
wages, wit a prospect of success.
1t was announced at the meeting that
a death benefit payable to members in
good standing would become operative
after January L. That sum will be made
payable to the widow or the lawful heirs
of the deceased member. 1t is expected
that this new clause in the constitution
will be the means of increasing the mem

terday afternoon in the Orphans Court

grandmother. Mrs. Harris died before the

and mother died soon after, leaving him

Company of New York. which company

release from prison. Harris will also re-
ceive a share in the estate of his aunt,

MISS AKERS SINGS
Major and Mrs. Pond Treat
Their Neighbors to a
Delightful Singing
Recital.

Miss Sally rockingham Akers' $
..Alone" last night at Major and Mrs.
James B. Pond was delightful. Miss
Akers had been heard on several pre-
vious occasions in this city. once or twice
at the Ponds and last Tuesday at Mrs.
koonz's tea, but always with her trio of
singing girls. Last night was the first
chance Jersey City society had had to
Judge of the merits of her solo singing.
Her voice is pleasing, her mannerisms
are pleasing, and the effect of her sing
ing is pleasing. Nobody could hear her
sing and come away with the blues. She
possesses a marvellously sweet, soft, So
prano voice. with great scope. 1t is capa-
BILE of admirable modulation. She sings
apparently without effort and she went
through the entire programme of eigh-
teen songs and an encore without inter-
mission. She was accompanied by Miss
Helen Collins.
The first selection was Love the Ped
lar edward Germany. Then came three
French songs: (a) Waltz Song (Bem-
berg); (b) .viel1e Chanson'' (Bizet); (c)
la Belle du Roi' QIolmes), followed by
three serious songs, (a) "At Twilight
(Nevin), (b) Allah '(ChadwicD, (c)
Restless River" edward Germany.
Here Miss Akers paused a few mo-
ments, then continued with two German
songs by Schubert, Der Tod und das
Madchen" and "Haidenroslein, and two
songs in English, by Lisa Lehman,
Mirage and Mother Sleep In the
next group were four songs by American
women. 1.-THE Four-Leaved Glover"
(BrownelD, .The Slumber Boat Gay
nor), "She. Is So Fair written for Miss
Akers by Kate Douglas Wiggin, and a
composition by Miss Akers herself,
Loves Ghost Three songs in Scotch,
English and Irish, "Hush-a-ba. Birdie
(Bunten), "The Girl I Left Behind Me-
(Old English), "The Old Plaid Shawl"
(Haynes), concluded Miss Akers's pro-
gramme, but she was compelled to re-
spond to an encore.
1t seldom happens that Major Pond has
but one artist at his professional even
ings, so last evening there was sur
prise in store for the guests in Miss
Mary Norman, who very cleverly gave
number of character sketches. First she
initiates a soubrette in her first public
appearance, sending the audience into
convulsions of laughter, and contrasted it
with no less humorous imitation of the
old stager prina donnt with all the
theatrical mannerisms and conceit of a
long, If not very successful career.
Miss Anna Koonz accompanied her at the
piano. Miss Norman was most humorous,
however. in her original sketches, in
costume of the "Boston Girl" the New
York Girl" and "The Chicago Girl all
very talkative. the Boston Girl bore
with her knowledge the New York
Girl with her ennui, and the Chicago
Girl over vivacious and full of life. Miss
Norman comes from the west.
AT the conclusion of the programme
Major Pond announced his intention of
giving a similar evening with Mrs. Sarah
Grand, December 26, the night before she
sails for home. She will speak on 1.-THE
Art of Happiness
