BARKER SET FREE AT LAST.
Man Who Shot the Rev. John A
Keller Released on Parole.

TRENTON, July II, 1903 The
Board of Pardons, sitting in Sea Girt yes
terday, paroled Thomas G. Barker, who
was serving fve years in State Prison
here for shooting the Rev. John A.
Keller, in Arlington, on February 3, 1901.
Barker said he was justified in shoot
ing the clergyman, whom he accused Of
having wronged his wife. The town of
Arlington, where both men lived, was
divided in its sympathies. The Rev.
Mr.. Keller lost his sight as a result of
his wound. He denied he had injured
Barker or his wife.
Barker lay in hiding for Keller after
he had heard the confession Of his wife.
Springing from his place sof concealment
he fred four shots. The first struck
Keller at the outer corner of the right
eye, tore out that organ, clipped the optic
nerve of the left eye and lodged in the
skullsQn the left side. Barker walked
away from the fallen clergyman and
gave himself up to the police. He was
found guilty of assault with intent to kill
and was sentenced on June %, 1901,
to five years hard labor. He has served
two years and twelve days.
Many persons in Arlington refused to
believe Mrs. Barker's story, but an
equally large number thought Barker
was justified in his action, and they
have been trying ever since to have him
released.

1t seemed as though the pretty girls
left in the city turned out this afternoon
to witness the departure of the Fourth
Regiment, of the N. J. National Guard
for Sea Girt, where the regiment is to
encamp for week. Many other resi-
dents crowded the sidewalks along the
route from hekAfmory in Bergen avenue
to the Pennsylvania depot. The boys
were given a cordial send-of and carried
with them the memory of pretty smiles
enough to last week. The Jersey City
Companies oft he eRgiment left the
Armory at 1870 P. NJ, and marched
down Mercer street to Jersey avenue,
where it was Joined by Companies K of
Hoboken and NJ of Union Hill.
The regiment passed the City Hall
and was reviewed by Mayor Pagan,
where he was rendered the honor of a
marching salute, at the invitation Of Col.

extended in polite and soldierly note,
which was replied to in like spirit, the
Mayor emphasizing his appreciation of
the courtesy extended by Col. Smith to
him. Contrary to his usual custom of
going ont of town Friday eysili.l- % re-
main over Sunday this summer he re-
manned in town and reviewed the regi-
ments.
The Mayor occupied small stand
fitted up by City Hall Custodian Datz.
He was accompanied by his private sec
retary, NJ. O'Connor
Pictures Of the regiment were taken by
Photographer Allan, of Foye place, as it
was passing the City Hall.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly sus-
tanned; and this leads us to say, in the
interest Of the less robust of our readers,
that the full effect of Hoods Sarsaparil-
la is such as to suggest the propriety of
calling this medicine something besides
a blood purifier and tonic,-say, sus-
tanning diet. 1t makes it much easier
to bear the heat, assures refreshing
sleep, and will without any doubt avert
much sickness at this time Of year.

old SOL STILL
HOLDS HIS GRIP
But Relief From His Terrific
Heats Said by Weather
Man to Be in Sight.
FATAL PROSTRATION
REPORTED YESTERDAY.
Aged Matthew Wilson Dies
on His Way to City
Hospital-A Dozen
Prostrations.

One fatal case and nearly dozen
cases of prostration is the-record of yes
terday's heat. IL was the hottest day
so far this year. Man and beast suffered
intensely. Many looked forward to the
promised late afternoon shower, but it
did not materialize. When the sky began
to cloud over early in the afternoon many
thought they would get it sooner than
the weather man had promised. There
was a light sprinkle about half past five
o'clock, but it dried up on the sidewalks
a few minutes later. A slight breeze
sprang up, however, and drove some of
the humidity out of the atmosphere and
made conditions slightly more tolerable.
Horses suffered and painted as they
tugged at their heavy loads, and pity
led some people to attach hose to fire
plugs and drench thew with water as
they passed by. The mute animals al
most talked in their efforts to show their
gratefulness.
Relief was promised for today.
The fatal case was that of Matthew
Wilson, sixty-three years old, of No. 163
Ocean avenue. He was prostrated at
$50 O'Clock in the afternoon and died on
his way to the City Hospital in an ambu
lance.
At 215 p. NJ, Elizabeth Glue, sixty
years old, of Jersey avenue and Twelfth
streets, was overcome in front of No.
3o81s Eighth street and taken to st.
Francis Hospital.
Among other victims were the follow
ing
At 1905 William Smith, thirty-nine
years old, of Irvington, N. Y, overcome
while at work ON the lighter Maggie ID,
at the Morgan street dock. Taken to
st. Francis Hospital.
At $40 P. NJ, Arthur Burke, thirty
four years old, of No. 312 Second street,
porter in the employ of the Hudson
County Gas Company, overcome while
at work. Taken to City Hospital.
At 5.45 p. NJ. Michael johnson, fifty
years old, residence unknown. overcome
at Warren and Morgan streets. Taken
to City Hospital.
At $40 P. NJ, John Mcdonald, thirty
FIVE years old. of Grand and Brunswick
streets overcome at Tenth and Erie
streets. Taken to St Francis Hospital.
