DR.. HOLMES is
BURIED TODAY.
Friends From This City Attend
Suicide Theory COntradiCted by
Friends and Fireman.

A number of friends from this
city went to Cranbury today to at
tend the funeral of DR.. John G.
Holmes, who was killed by an engine
Tuesday afternoon at James J9rg.
The funeral was held at 2 o'clock to-
day from his late home.
Friends of DR.. Holmes and others
intimate with the facts Indignantly
deny the printed stories, all emanat-
ing from one mistaken source, that
DR.. Holmes committed suicide and
knelt deliberately in front of the
train which struck him.
This story is denied as cruel mis-
take by his relatives and by others
concerned in finding out the truth OF
the matter.
Deputy Surrogate d. w. Clayton,
who identified the body, was one OF
those most certain that DR.. Holmes
did not end his own life. He has in
terviewed the fireman OF the tram
which struck DR.. Holmes.
The fireman denied most positive
ly that DR.. Holmes knelt in front of
the train and waited for it to strike
him.
The doctor was walking slowly up
the track toward the train. His eyes
were on the ground, as If he were
looking for something. AS is known,
he was very deaf, and without doubt
was ignorant of the trains approach
Just before the train reached him he
saw something which he desired to
pick up and stopped forward. AS
he rose and Strengthened himself the
fireman saw Lis face change as he
realized his peril. He tried to jump to
one side and did get almost clear OF
the track. In fact the fireman thought
he had escaped, but a pro1eoticA on
the side of the engine struck him
Tie tragedy occurred on the fire
mans side of the engine and he had
full view of the accident.

$3.50 O'clock Last Night After
an Enjoyable Day.

The annual excursion of the Simp-
son M. E. church and Sunday school,
which took place at Ocean Grove and
Asbury Park yesterday, was one of
the most successful affairs conducted
by this church in some time.
They were accompanied by St
Paul's and Bethel M. e. Sunday
schools of Tottenville. A train of
fourteen cars of the Central Rail
road conveyed them from this city
to the seashore.
They left here about 9:15 o'clock
yesterday morning and after giving
everybody ample time to see every
thing and enjoy the music and bath
ing at that place the return trip was
made from there at 1880 O'Clock last
night, arriving in this city again at
about $50 without a mishap.
1t is estimated there were over
900 people in all on the train
About 900 tickets were collected,
thus making the excursion success
both financially and otherwise. Ev-

make this affair a success was: j. G.

WANT A CODE
FOR BUILDING.
Local People Are Starting Up the
Agitation Again Tenement
House inspection Cause of It.

From the present outlook Perth
Amboy will have an official building
code in the near future.
A movement has been started by
one of the prominent builders of this
city, and when the state building in
spector makes another visit here,
the petition will probably be present
ed to him.
The unions are also in favor of the
idea, and say they will welcome it.
Many of the buildings here are of a
faulty construction, and no attention
has ever been paid to the fire escape
system. Hundreds of buildings in
this city have only one entrance, and
should a fire occur in some of these,
the loss of life might be great.
Health Inspector Fithian has a
number of dangerous buildings on
his list, and it is understood that he
and the tenement house inspector
who visited here the other day, held
a long conference.
Buildings here are put up with
out any regard for the safety of the
tenants, said a prominent local
man, "and /, for one, will do all can
to have building code established
in this city"

NEGRO IS
DROWNED
AT BEACH.
COlOred ExCurSiOniSt Got Out
Beyond His Depth and Could
Not Reach Shore.
FROM EAST ORANGE.
-COlOred Preacher Saw Him
Struggling But Was Too Fright
ened TO Call for Help.

Bren Miller, about twenty-one
years old, colored, was drowned
while in bathing at Boynton Beach
yesterday afternoon.
Miller had been in bathing for
some time, and finally waded out be-
yond his depth. He tried to get
ashore, but was unsuccessful, and
before aid could reach him, he had
drowned.
Rev. G. w. Kryger, pastor of the
East Orange colored Baptist church,
saw Miller struggling for life and
was so startled by the sight that he
was unable to call for help.
The drowned man was spending
the day at the beach with the large
Sunday school excursion from East
Orange, and as near as can be learn
ed, the drowning was the only acci-
dent of the day.
Coroner Bishop was notified and
gave permission to remove the body

is FILED
BY JUDGE LYON
IN LAND DEAL.
Judge lyon Opposes Contention
That Vice Chancellor Cannot
Grant Injunction.
AGAINST WATER BOARD.
Counsel for Water Board Main
tains That CertiOnafi Should
Have Been the Procedure.

A brief was filed yesterday by Ad-
rian Lyon, counsel for the plaintiffs
in the action for an injunction to re-
land at Runyon by the Board of
Water Commissioners. This brief
maintains the contention that the
vice chancellor has jurisdiction in
the case and can grant an injunction
if the evidence, in his opinion, war
rants it.
This question was raised wnen The
case first came up, and it was stated
at the hearing in Newark on Tues
day of this week by Willard =. Voor-
hees, special counsel of the Water
Board, that he considered that the
action should have been taken up
under writ of certiorari.
In behalf of the water commits
sioners, Mr.. Voorhees, said that if the
plaintiffs made out a case calling
for the courts interference the board
would welcome it" but he questioned
the correctness of the procedure,
which, he said should have been by
certiorari The vice chancellor agreed
that the court of chancery could not
review where there was only a mat
ter of discretion concerned, but
would have jurisdiction il it was a
case of fraud. The bill of complaint
in the case charged fraud.
When Mr.. Voorhees, intimated that
the land was of great value because
a rival water company might avail
itself of the opportunity to furnish
a supply for other places thereabouts,
the vice chancellor declared that lit
was not within the range of human
probability that it would pay rival
company to go there and transport
that water to another place" add
ing: "When you tell me that there is
no other place to get water | simply
don't believe it. And | won't believe
it till q test is made"
When Lawyer Voorhees, gave Com
missioner Voorhees, version of the al
legged agreement that all harassing
tactics should cease henceforth If this
deal were made, the vice chancellor
laughed, and when Lawyer voorhees,
went on to say something further
about the Fountain brothers holdup
being alleged to be "a wrongful act,
the vice chancellor cut in with:
81 should say so, decidedly
No word as to decision had been
received by Judge Lyon today, but
Vice Chancellor Pitney gave good
idea of his opinion at Tuesdays hear
ing, when he said that the idea OF
paying $500 an acre for such land
was nonsense and shocked common
decency.
