YOUNG MASTERSON is
MARRIED AND SKIPPED,

Judging from the following article
which appeared in the last issue of
the Keyport Weekly, Roy D. Master
son, who is well known in this city, is
married, had job and has disappear
ed. The story as it appeared in the
Weekly is as follows:
Roy D. Masterson, a clerk with
Grocer A. c. Bennett, of Long Branch,
disappeared very suddenly last Tues
day. He took out his wagon with
goods valued at about 500, and after
delivering the last order returned to
his home and with his wife left town.
What he did with the horse and wag-
on is not known. Masterson formerly
lived at South Amboy and had work
ed for Bennett about two months, ap-
parently satisfied with his position.
Mastersons parents have made good
the money collected for the groceries.
He was traced to Jersey City, but
there the clue was lost.

ARcANUM DEFEAT CHANGE
Kills Motions Including Proposal for
Constant Rate.

BOSTON, May 21;-Three import
ant propositions were defeated at yes
terday's session of the supreme coun-
Gil of the Royal Arcanum. The first
sought to abrogate the regular rates
and place all of the 24S,000 members
of the order upon rates known as OPP
tion A. This rate provides a constant
rate during membership. The conf
mittee to which this proposition was
submitted opposed it vigorously and
the plan was defeated unanimously
The resolution of the Empire City
Council of New York, asking that per-
mission be given to change its bylaws
to permit members to change from
option c to option A also met defeat
as did the plan submitted by the Ohio
delegation for cutting out all past
supreme regents and incorporators
from life membership in the Supreme
! Council.

After dancing with his sweetheart
at ball in Sander Kish's Columbia
hall on State street a large part of
the night until o'clock this morn
ing, Bartor Gabor, twenty-three years
old, who had been employed by Mr..
Kish as bartender for three weeks,
went into the barroom and, after
completing his usual work, retired to
his room over the saloon and shot
himself through the heart with a
32-calibre revolver.
Gabor was a temperance man and
has never been known to touch any
liquor, and when he and Mr.. Kish
went into the barroom at O'Clock
this morning he was apparently in
the best of spirits. After Gabor had
left the barroom and had been in his
room short time, Mr.. Kish heard a
shot and, with others, ran upstairs,
where they found Gabor on the floor,
with the revolver by his side. He was
carried to the Office of DR.. G. w. Tyr
rell opposite, but died before the
door of the Office was reached.
DR.. Tyrrell said this morning that
the bullet passed completely through
the heart and that it was remarkable
considering that the man had done
the shooting himself
On table in the bartender's room
the letter translated above was found
written in Hungarian, and from the
letter and the deep impressions made
by the pencil on the paper, it is be-
lieved that he was in a highly ner-
vous state at the time.
jealous of Sweetheart.
Gabor and Elond Mondock, daugh-
ter of John Mondok, of 81 Goodwin
street, were at ball which was in
progress in the hall in the rear of
the saloon last night.
Gabor during the evening appeared
to be jealous of the girl and seemed
uneasy when she danced with other
men. Although the report cannot be
confirmed, it was said this morning
that Gabor and the girl had a slight
disagreement. Gabor has a brother
living on Stockton street. After DR..
Tyrrell had examined the body last
night he gave it over to Undertaken
Thomas F. Burke. AS Gabor has
many friends, preparations are being
made for a large funeral.
The police were notified this morn
ing and Patrolman McDermott made
an examination of the room and Ga
bors effects. He secured the forego-
ing letter, which was found on a
table in the room. The revolver with
which Gabor shot himself is in DR..
Tyrrell's possession.
