DIED WOOING WIFE
OF FORTY YEARS AGO
He Went to War After Quarrel, Both
Remarked; Then Death Came,
With Reconciliation

Special to The Herald.
TOLEDO, Sept. 1S.-John H. Hoy of
Plymouth, Ind, aged 72, died while
sitting in a chair in the home of Mrs
John Mckenzie in this city. The coro-
ner pronounced the case one of apo
plexy. Mrs. Mckenzie said that Hoy
was an old and very dear relative of
hers, and gave to the officers the ad-
dress of his sons. The sons came and
were not satisfied with the coroners
finding, and demanded an investigation.
They claimed that their father had
nearly $1,000 when he left home and
Mrs. Mckenzie said he had left with
her only small portion of the amount
and that she also had his pension pa
pers. The boys demanded an investi-
CATION and this story was brought to
light.
About 1860 Hoy married a girl then
about fifteen. A few months after
their marriage a foolish quarrel sepa-
rated them and Hoy enlisted. He never
attempted to straighten out his domes-
tic troubles until after he was dis"
charged, when he found that his wife
had obtained a divorce and that she
had gone away with their child. He
finally married again, rearing a family
and living with his second wife almost

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-The neigh
hors say that the children who live in
the big six-story tenement at SO Jeffer-
son street bear a charmed life. Three
have tumbled from the building within
a month without being seriously hurt.
Jacob Goldberg, IL years old, went
to the roof yesterday to fly his kite
along with other boys. He became so
absorbed in his pastime that he forgot
he was not in an empty lot, and ran
off the roof. He yelled as he began to
fall and other boys crept to the edge
expecting to see his dead body on the
flagstones of the courtyard. But Jacob
had better lucl; than that. He struck
first one clothesline and then another,
and then politely tumbled into a thick
quilt that had been stretched across two
lines. The quilt folded up around Jacob
and thus snugly embraced he struck
the pavement gently. The boy rubbed
his head. got UP and dashed through
the hall and into the drug store across
the street, where 1t was found he had
only a few cuts and bruises.
Several weeks ago julius Josephson.
two and half years old, of SO Jeffer-
son street, fell from the third story
window and was saved by clotheslines
and a clothes basket in the yard. That
same day another child fell from an
upper window and was also saved by
the clotheslines.
When it was learned yesterday that
Jakey was not badly hurt some of the
tenants grumbled because he had
knocked their washing into the yard.
