vIADUCT To
HOBOKEN
Plan to Unite Hudson City
and the Northern NUM-
cipalities Arouses
Much Interest.
COUNTY TO CONSTRUCT THE ROAD
Park Commissioners Decided
No Part of Their Appro-
priation Gould Be
Used On It.
COUNTY TO CONSTRUCT THE ROAD

Considerable interest is manifested at
present over the proposed construction of
a viaduct to connect Hoboken with the
Hudson City Heights. The project has
been talked Of for long while, and no
one has yet been found who will not ad-
vocate the advantages of such viaduct
not only to Hoboken, but Northern Jer
sey City and all the northern municipal
tiles. The question has been the expense
and who shall bear the burden.
AS soon as the Park Act, under which
the present County Park Board is work
ing to purchase sites and lay out parks
in various parts of the County, was pass
ed Hoboken, realizing that it had no
other suitable place for the laying out of
a new park within her territorial lines,
and that she would be called upon to
bear a proportionate share of the County
burden, began an agitation in favor of
having a portion of the monies at the dis
posal of the Park Commissioners set
aside to erect the proposed acqueduct
that would give her citizens an outlet to
the parks on the heights and northern
section of the County, and at the same
time add to the appearance of the city.
The Park Commissioners quickly de-
cided that while Hobeken's claim seemed
reasonable enough, it would be too much
of stretch of the law to devote any por-
ton of park monies provided to the con-
struction of such a viadNot as proposed.
1t looks now as though the County
would take UP the matter and construct
the viaduct
A bill looking to this end has been in
troduced by Senator Hudspeth. The bill
was drawn up by County Counsel John
Griffin at the request of the Hudson City
Business Mems Association. Two bills
were at first drawn by Mr. Griffin, one
providing that the County pay for the
viaduct, and the other dividing the cost
between the County and the two cities
mainly interested. The Business Men S
Association did not favor the latter BILL
The bill introduced by Senator Huds-
peth authorizes an expenditure on the
part of the County of a sum not to ex-
ceed one.tenth of one per cent of the
County ratables. This would allow an
outlay of $186,o00 the FIRST year. Such
viaduct as is proposed will cost several
hundred thousand dollars.
There are some who favor the con-
struction of Y-shaped yiaduct, with the
branches terminating at the brow of the
hill near the Paterson Plank road on the
south and the Hackensack Plank road on
the north, thus affording good connecting
roads between all sections Of Hudson
City and North Hudson and the Hobo
ken ferries.
Some advocate the leasing of fran
chises to the Public Corporation for troll
ley lines to traverse the proposed viaduct
and in this manner help pay the cost of
its construction.

VICTIM OF GRIP
John H. Gallagher's Suicid e
Attributed to That Dis
ease and 0Verwork.
NO TROUBLE IN BUSINESS
P. R. R. officials and Palma
Club Members Speak
Strongly in His Favor
His Mind Possi-
bly, Affected.

The general impression prevails that
the strain of overwork aggravated by
grip, is responsible for the death of John
H. Gallagher, cashier of the New York
Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
by his own hand at his office yesterday.
No other cause could be assigned by
even his most intimate friends, who
were astonished by the news. He was
one of the most trusted employees of the
railroad company, and those in posit-
ion to know scout the idea that there was
anything wrong in his accounts. His su-
periors in Office decline to even discuss
this phase of the matter. And not a
single member of the Palma Club, of
which prominent social organization he
was for many years treasurer, can be
found who is not willing to swear that
Mr.. Gallagher's books and accounts of
that organization, always open for in
spection, are as correct as die.
The wife's account of his actions at
home, during the past few weeks espec-
Jed to Mr.. Gallagher's rash act. After
watching him closely, though amazed at
the story of suicide, she unhesitatingly
declared that her husbands mind was
temporarily deranged. She had watched
him come and go from the house COM
planning at times of weariness At other
times he said little or nothing except by
way of salutation, and then often with
an air Of forced cheeriness.
''He often complained of pains in his
head during the last two weeks" she
said yesterday. He lost his appetite
and missed a good many meals He COM
planned consta1tIy of the grip He was
apparently cheerful however, when he
left the house this morning, and he kiss
ed me and the children. He went out
huming tune. We have always lived
happily"
His close friends and associates in the
Palma Club had frequently noticed of
late that he was not himself
Il met Mr.. Gallag CHER at the Palma
Club on Wednesday evening"" said Fred
erick C. Wolbert, of No. AZ Montgomery
street. "He did some work on his books
and then took part in game of cards
with several of US. He said he had had
the grip, but was better. He was an
noyed, he said, by the practice of en-
ployes of the railroad company in selling
their pay accounts to money brokers'
The brokers, he said, served notices on
him not to pay the men, and that made
extra work for him. He said:-I am SO
worried 1 sometimes think l shall go
crazy. He was hard worker and con-
scientious. His accounts with the Palma
Club were balanced every month, and
the sums he received were not large.
They were the dues of the club members,
chiefly. He was in the club house fre-
quently. l noticed he seemed to be irri-
table and nervous laeely."
