DYING IN A DEAD
WAGON.

tive, Condemned to

ders From the
Hospital.

Sympathetic Employees I'm

ply Him With Food.

Forsaken by relatives and dying of
consumption in an undertaker's wagon
in the livery stable of Germans under
taking esta blishment at Greene and
Grand streets, is the plight of Thomas
Graham, who yet looks more or less ro-
bust. He is young man, and the raw
ages of most dreaded disease that has
laid many low.
The dying young man yet bears the
trace of manly beauty. Only weakness
and the shrunken portions to the right
and left of his eyebrows and dangerous
sounding cough indicate his disease.
There is good color in his face-a rud-
/ dy color.
Graham was taken to the City Hos
pital on Saturday night of last week.
On Wednesday last one of the doctors at
the hospital declared that he was incur
able, and would have to be sent to the
Almshouse at Snake Hill. He protested.
Though an outcast, he did not wish it
said that he died in a poorhouse Be
sides that, he believed, and yet believes,
that he will recover.
Instead of going to Snake Hill he
tottered out of the hospital and walked
about a hundred yards to Montgomery
street and took an east bound car. That
was in the afternoon. He had num-
Der of friends in the Gammontown sec
tion Of the city. But these did not see
him until one o'clock next morning.
1t could not be ascertained where he
spent the hours of the afternoon and
night up to one o'clock, but compassion
ate friend who worked at Gorman's liv-
cry stable, opened the stable door and
made an improvised bed on the floor of
a dead wagon, almost out of commission.
There he has lain, full conscious, ever
since. 1t was said he was still lying
there this morning. Sympathetic stable
men made his bed of cushions and have
| gratifed his every wish, furnishing him
with milk and oranges, which he said he
! felt could be his only nourishment in re-
spense to questions as to what he felt
| like eating. 1t was said at the stable
this morning that he would be removed to
Snake Hill this afternoon, as even those
who are befrending him are averse to
seeing him die in a dead wagon.
But Graham does not look like man
about to succumbs to consumption. His
limbs are of athletic trim and there is
no hectic flush.
He will not appeal for aid to his uncle,
who bears the same name, and who lives
as No. 40 Sussex street. The two have
not spoken for two years. 1t is said by
old policemen who have patrolled down
i town posts that the nephew is at fault,
and that no blame attaches to the uncle.
The sick man is son of the man who
once ran the InImann Hotel, when the
Inmann Steamship line landed its pas
sengers in this city.

Especial to "The Jersey City News")
TRENTON, August /, 903.-United
States Senator John Kean has appar-
entity been so overcome by the prospect
of becoming tri-State political leader
that he has forgotten all about the ap-
pointment of United States District
Attorney for the District of New Jersey.
This position has been vacant since Da-
vid o. Watkins resigned to become State
Banking and Insurance Commissioner,
and it is up to Mr.. Kean to recommend
to the President who shall be Mr.. Wat
kins's successor.
1t is taken for granted that Senator
Kean wishes to use the influence thus
vested in him to further his own politi-
cal ambitions, but he is seemingly still in
doubt how this can best be done. AS
matters stand today, John L. Swayze,
the private secretary to Governor Muir
ply, is the only active candidate in the
field, aad this despite the continued effort
of Senator keah to induce some other
eligible to enter the lists.
Mr.. Sawyze has the unqualified support
of Governor Murphy, former Attorney
General Thomas n McCarter, United
States Senator John Dryden. Clerk in
Chaneery Edward c. Stokes and other
leaders, and it is no secret that some at
least of these gentlemen have brought
strong influence to bear upon Mr.. Kean
in the interest of Mr.. Swayze
1t is plain to everyone that Mr.. Kean
does not wish 10 select candidate who
has been affliated with so many of those
whom Mr.. Kean regards, and perhaps
justly, as his political enemies. On the
other hand, with the present upheaval
of Republican party affairs in the State.
the senior United States Senator can
hardly fail to see that he is taking long
chance in ignoring personal request
from one so influential as the Governor
of hesitate.
1t is said now that Mr.. Kean must be-
fore long take positive stand one way
or the other By his delay he has sue
ceeded in placing himself in position of
no little embarrassment.
To follow his own inclinations would
sbe TO issue def to men whose assist
ance he must later seek, while to accede
to their requests at this late date would
give the Senator the appearance of hav-
ing been forced from position in which
he had voluntarily placed himself, but
which he found untenable.
1t is difficult to say what a man like
Senator kean will do, but if recent de-
velopments can be takeffsat face value,
it now looks very much as though he
will concur, with what grace he may, in
the selection of Mr.. Swayze
That story from Washington few
days ago that Senator Kean was likely
to be selected to have charge of the
Republican campaigns in New York.
