HAZLEWOOD, Aug. 12.-John Nc
Emery, of Turner's Crossing, near here,
celebrated his 6Sth birthday yesterday
with more pleasure than he has had
for years. Fifteen years ago his Oldest
son James, after a quarrel, left home,
and ever since the father and mother
have waited for some tidings of him.
Yesterday he walked in unheralded,
but when he made himself known great
was the rejoicing over him. James re-
counted the story of his wanderings
and told the old people how ne had
shipped as a sailor and visited ports
in all parts of the world, and how,
after all, a great longing to see the
old home overcame him, and he re-
turned, overjoyed to find his parents
still at the old homestead.

Captain Baker, of Majestic, Re-

His Passengers.
IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE
TWELVE FEET AHEAD
Protest, but Skipper Sticks
to His Determination to
Steer Safe Course.

Captain jeremiah Baker, Of the new
steamer Majestic. brought his boat
with 300 souls slowly up the Passaic
to the dock early today after spend
ing a night in the thick fog or Newark
bay, rather than risk the lives of his
passengers or the crew.
There might have been a different
tale to TELL" said the captain. IF we
had tried to make the dock last night
It's better for folk to lose their sleep
rather than their lives"
II eve there were a fog last night
was the time and Newark bay the
place. AT 10 o'clock. when the engines
Of the Majestic began to throb nj she
slid slowly from the slip at Steeple-
chase Park, Coney Island, a thin mist,
fine, chilling and impenetrable to the
moonlight began to form over the bay.
1t grew in intensity and volume until
1t made the air opaque and spread q
layer of moisture on everything II
touched.
The party of merrymakers were very
merry, indeed, under the soft rays Of
the harvest moon for the first few
miles of the trip. Then the boat began
to pillow through the sea of cloud and
the mist got thicker as the boat pro-
crossed. The chilling moisture sent
everyone from the decks to the cabins,
but the boat plowed bravely on, its
nose pointing to Newark.
When the Central Railroad bridge wa
reached the fog was so dense hat Il
was difficult to see a dozen feet ahead
and the light of the vessel made but.
little Roadway against the mist. 81
Captain Baker stopped the boat and
waited for the fog to lift, thinking Of
the safety of his human cargo.
Patiently crew and passengers waited
until the hour of midnight. The fog
was thicker than eve at that hour.
Another hour passed, two hours, and
then the merry-makers, with bedraggled
garments inc altogether forlorn appear
ance, stretched themselves upon camp
stools and tried to sleep. A few slept on
the floor, s~urrendering their stools tt
children.

DREAM OF CHAIR
DRIVES SLAYER Of
TWO TO SUICIDE
Selanski, Arrested in Brooklyn
for Killing Woman and Man,
Hangs Himself in Cell.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-william
Selanski, a prisoner in the Raymond
street Jail In Brooklyn, awaiting trial
on a charge of killing a man and a
woman, hanged himself to his cot some
time between 6 and $50 o'clock this
morning.
II had an awful dream last night
he told one of his guards yesterday.
Il saw myself in the electric chair and
at each side Of me, holding my arms
pinioned. were that man and that
woman"
Although the cells in Murderers'
Row. In which he was confined, are
supposed to be closely watched, he
managed to plan suicide with some
elaboration, and had been dead fully
fifteen minutes when found by Keeper
Mitchell and cut down.
The cot on which he slept is about
six feet in length. The prisoner was
undersized. He put the cot on end and
managed to unfasten a long piece OF
rope by which the mattress Is secured
to the iron framework of the cot. Then
and attached the rope in which he had
made a sliding moose.
This done, he put his head in the
loop, which was drawn close up to the
top rail of the appended cot and let
himself drop. His toes dangled within
a few inches of the floor.
Selanski shot and killed Anna Kock-
onski, on May 1, when she refused to
marry him. The woman lived in the
same house as her slayer, and he
pestered her day and night with his
supplications.
On the day of the murder he asked
her for the last time to marry him.
She refused, and he pulled out a re-
volver and shot her fatally. Then he
ran to the street. William Kirfian, OF
II North Eleventh street, heard the
shots and tried to stop the fleeing
nal.
Like q flash the gun-wielder turned
on him and fired three shots into Kir-
fans abdomen. Then he ran on again,
but Policeman Kelly stopped him with
a blow of his club.

BRAVELY STOPS
RUNAWAY HORSE
on BROAD STREET
Cummings Probably Saves Many
from Injury When He Stops
Frightened Animal.

Owing to the bravery Of W. F. Cum
mings, of SO High street, many persons
were undoubtedly saved from serious
injury, If not death, today. Broad
street was crowded with women and
children, when a green horse started
a team attached to a farm wagon
driven by their owner, Joe Paffendorf,
of North Arlington. The animals took
the bits in their teeth and raced madly
up the street. Everyone scattered as
the team came g~alloping up the middle
of the ear tracks, the driver saving in
vain at the reins.
Cummings, who is a member Of the
firm that does all of the Lauter piano
moving, ran out as the runaways were
passing a a and grabbed the "off"
horse, pulling the beasts head down
to Its chest. After pulling the man
along for some distance the team was
brought to a standstill.

Mr.. Hillery is well known to New
arkers, and when he was introduced,
prior to Mr.. Raymond, he received
hearty applause. Although Mr.. Hillery
said he came to talk of national az
fairs and not local, he was tempted to
make a few references to State ques-
tons, and among other things said:
IT hope the day isn't far distant when
a comprehensive statute will be writ
ten on our books giving absolute home
rule; that is, permitting municipalities
ITO govern themselves on local ques-
tons"
Following the statement that Sthe
liquor traffic was a question Of police
regulation, Mr.. Hillery remarked:
N board sitting in Trenton, made
up of men from Sussex and Morris and
other counties of the State, can regu-
late the sale of liquor in Newark. The
city will be regulated according to the
moral standards OF the people, and
under home rule you may have beer
from sunrise to sunset and to sunrise
again or you may have none at all,
just as you pay desire"

But what was this? Elsie suddenly
threw down the letters She had read
a sentence at the top Of the page twice
before she actually grasped its pur-
port. When its significance daWned
on her she flushed violently, for this
was what she read:
II am glad of it, too, because under
no other circumstances would wish
to greet and embrace the woman dess
tined to be your Wife
The knowledge that she had involun-
tarily intruded on Captain Courtenay's Is
private affairs brought her back with
a certain slight shock to sense of
actualities. The storm, the horrible
danger she was in, emerged from shad-
owland Why had be not come for
her? Surely there must have been
some further mishap! Heavens! Was
she alone on the ship, alone with the
dead men and the dying vessel? Her
head swan with strange faintness,
and she placed a hand to her eyes.
Then joey sprang in through the
doorway and, with that splendid disre-
gard for sentiment displayed by a fox
terrier that has just come out of q first
rate fight, shook his harness until it

But he eyed the inrush of the sea
with much disfayor, so he leaped up
on the table beside Elsie and looked
at her as though he would ask why she
had permitted this sacrilege.

which was gathering in the girls
brain. She feared tragedy, yet Joey
assuredly would not be so cheerful, so
daintily desirous to avoid the splash
ing water in the cabin if his master
were injured. The mere presence of
the dog was a guarantee that Courte-
nay had not quilted the ship.
"Oh, joey" she said, 81 wish you
could speak,"
The sound of her own voice startled
her She was yielding to nervousness
again and was on the point of yentur-

such mighty combination OF circum-
stances centering on one poor ship as
had foregathered to crush the Kansas.
Ever since he was aroused from sleep
by the stopping OF the screw bis mind
had dwelt on the unprecedented nature

tgThis" was a glass Of champagne
which he hurriedly poured out of a
small bottle he was carrying into a
glass which he produced from a
pocket. The mere sight of the wine
caused Elsie to realize that her lips
and palate were ON fire with salt. At
one moment she had not the slightest
cognizance Of her suffering. At the
next she felt that speech was impossi-

she known what thirst was.
s"Ah, that is better" said the doctor.
