FOUND DEAD
IN HIS CABIN.
CAPTAIN Well Known Here Passed
Away Sitting in His Rock
ing Chair.
Ever notice with "

Sitting in his chair with his hands
folded in his lap and a newspaper ly
ing at his side, Captain H. l.. Carey,
who was well known to many of the
employees on the Lehigh Valley docks,
found dead in the little of the barge
II. II. Baker. of this city, yesterday
afternoon. The barge was moored to
the Trop line pier, at the foot of
Charles street, North River. 1t is
said that heart disease was the cause
of the captains death, and that it
had killed him so suddenly that the
body had hardly settled forward in
the chair.
The barge, empty, landed at
Charles street, Wednesday night
Yesterday the tug Mercedes, of Perth
Amboy, drew alongside to take the
barge up the river. Finding no signs
of life aboard the master of the Mer
cedes, Captain William Good, went
down into the cabin and discovered
Carey.
Policeman Bulman, of the Charles
street station, called DR.. Corcoran,
of ST. Vincent's Hospital, who said a
weak heart had carried off the man as
he sat reading his paper. Capt. Carey
was about siXty-five years old. His
address was not known.

REFUSED TO
REDUCE BAIL
Men srraigned for Highway Rob.
berry Near New BrunswiCk--.-
Accused Of Stealing $1,000.
Special to the FTEyJNG NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS:
NEW BRUNSWICK, Mar. 2.-The
effort made by counsel for Cafarro
and Scortino, the Italians charged
with the holdup between Metuchen
and New Brunswick some months
ago, to have the amount of their bail
reduced, was unsuccessful this morn
ing and the bail for each will remain
ut $4,000. These habeas corpus pro-
aeedings occupied nearly the entire
morning. AT the start, Theodore
strong, counsel for the Delaware Riv-
er Quarry & Construction Company,
objected to testimony being taken,
1ut it was overruled.
In the case of Scortino, three wit
1esses were called, County Detective
Iulvey, Lawyer H. B. Cook and War
len Rogers, of the county Jail. Null
'ey testified that he saw Scortino in
New Brunswick on the day of the
"obbery. Lawyer Cook said he pro-
luced Scortino at the county Jail at
l:10 o'clock on the afternoon of the
obbery, as he was under bonds on an
ssault charge. Warden Rogers
)ooks corroborated this. As the rob-
)ery did not occur until 1880 O'Clock
hat afternoon the defense maintains
icortino's innocence. A request for
he reduction of his bail was refused,
owever, because there is another in
lictment against him for conspiracy
the affair. Cafarro's bail was also
left at $4,000.

ATTACKED ON WAY
HOME FROM WORK.
William Maytin Severely Beaten
While Walking from Pardee
Works One Might Recently.
FOR ROBBERY.

William Martin, foreman at the
G. Pardee Works, is suffering with
numerous cuts and bruises about his
face and body, the result of being
held up and beaten until he was un-
conscious by an unknown man.
Martin left the works for his home
about 1880 o'clock one night recent
ly, and as he was passing down a
deep gully he noticed a form close
behind him. He was just about to
turn around when he was struck
over the head with a piece of pipe
He was stunned and another blow
knocked him to the ground.
AS Martin was falling his assail-
ant drew a big knife and cut him
across the face and jabbed him in
the body, after which he struck a
> number of blows anywhere he could
land, until Martin lost conscious
ness
After that the fellow who had
beat him thought that if he had kill
ed him it would be good idea to
lead those who found the body
astray. He took Martins dinner
pail and his hat and threw them
down steep embankment, so that
it would look as if the man had fall
en- down this and then had crcawled
to the top again.
Martin revived after a time and
managed to make his way home,
where it could be seen at once that
he was badly hurt. DR.. Silverstein,
of Prospect street, was called. He
dressed the wounds and told the
family that Martin had narrow
escape.
While Martin is not sure who it
was that knocked him down, he has
an idea that it was certain employe
whom he laid off because work was
slack. This employe had some
money coming to him and as yester-
day was pay day it was thought that
he would come around and get it,
but he did not nut in an appearance
and it is now thought that he has
left town. The police. it is under
stood, have been notified and they
are working on the case.

MONEY WENT
MYSTERIOUSLY
James J. Garland at First Ac-
Cused Young Man But Made
No Charges.

While James Garland. who keeps
a saloon At Isl Washington street,
was busy in his pace yesterday af-
ternoon he took q roll or money,
which at that time is said to have
contained $125, and put it in his
pocket. Shortly afterwards he found
that it had disappeared. He hunted
high and low for it, but could not
find trace of it anywhere.
The only other persons in the sa-
loon at the time were Mrs. Garland
and a well known young man. Gar
land jumped to the conclusion at
once that the young fellow had taken
his roll. He Went TO police head
quarters and reported the matter
and all of the policemen were order
ed to keep a lookout for the fellow.
The police watched the outgoing
trains and the fcrrJ boat TO Staten
Island, but they could not find an,
trace of him. Garland, it is under
stood, visited all of the local saloons
and he did not find a trace of the
youth. This morning Detective HUFF
went to the home of the young mar
and found him. He brought him to
police headquarters and telephone
tTdIldUu
como down at once.
When Garland arrived at police
headquarters he seemed to have
changed his mind and did not know
whether he wanted to make d com
plaint OF not. The prisoner claimed
that he did not take the money an(
Garland could not prove it, so the
fellow was allowed to depart and the
police are trying to find out Just
where the money did go.
A NEWS reporter called at the
Garland saloon this morning. Mr.
Garland would not talk about the
matter, but Mrs. Garland said that
it was certainly funny how the
money disappeared and while she
did not doubt but that it was stolen,
it was hard to prove who took it.

ON
DR.. FRANKLIN.
Interesting and Instructive Dis.
course Given by Rev. H. R.
Rose Last Night.

Seldom has a more instructive or
interesting lecture been given in this
city than that last night in Wilder
hall by Rev. Henry r. Rose, of New
ark, on the subject, Benjamin
Franklin" The hall was not filled
by any means, but those who were
present were delighted and the only
feeling of regret that exists is that
everyone in the city did not hear the
discourse.
Mr.. Rose had excellent views to
illustrate his lecture. They showed
the progress Of Franklin through life,
as the speaker described them Perth
Amboy was frequently referred to,
Franklin having been here three
times during the course of his life
The first time was when a mere
boy as he passed through on the
way to Philadelphia from New York.
The second time was the memorable
interview held with his son in the
Westminster, and the third time was
when he, with two others. represent
ed the continental congress in an in
terview with Lord Howe held in the
old Billopp house on Staten Island
regarding peace between the mother
country and the colonies.
Mr.. Rose described Franklin as the
real Father of His Country and said
that he was such a giant among men
that it would be centuries before he
was really appreciated. In the end
he would take his place with the
three greatest men the world has ever
known.
The many sided Franklin was
dwelt upon and the wonderful part
he played during the nations strug-
gle for liberty was told.
A reproduction of the original copy
of the Declaration of Independence
was thrown upon the screen and it
showed numerous changes and alter
ations made by Franklin. All great
public documents were brought to
him for revision and suggestions. He
was man of middle age when Wash
ington and the others were boys. 1t
was upon his wisdom and thought
that much that is credited to them
was done.
To prove that he was many sided
man, a list of twenty-seven different
kinds of men was shown and Frank
lin was all of these in one.
