TOO MANY SWEETHEARTS
They Appear to Have Led to the
Suicide of a Preacher.

Woodbury., N. il April 17.-This
quiet little town was greatly shocked
this morning over the sensational
suicide of the Rev. George w. Tom
son, pastor of the Woodbury. Presby-
terrain church and the subsequent
developments which involved the
names of at least three women Of this
place. Mr. Tomson was found dead in
the Newton hotel today with a bull
let in his brain. At first those who
knew him would not believe that he
had died by his own hand, but the
evidence to that effect was so strong
that at last they had to admit that it
was only too true. But the sensation
caused by his suicide was as nothing
were developed when the clergyman's
friends searched for a motive for his
act.
Now that the clergyman is dead
there are many stories coming out as
to the life he led. but how many of
them are true, it is impossible to
ascertain.
The sudden death or Mr.. Tomson
caused a great shock in Woodbury.,
especially in view OF MS engagement
to wed Miss Kenworthy of this city.
Mr.. Tomson came to Woodbury.
from Clayton, N. J., about ten years
ago. He built up the congregation of
the church until it became one of the
largest and most prosperous in South
Jersey. Mr.. Tonson was married
number of years ago. His wife died
about a year and a half ago, since
which time he has been living at the
Newton hotel here.
Miss Kenworthy was at her home
here when the news of Mr.. Tomson's
death was received by her. An effort
was made to learn from her when she
had last seen Mr.. Tomson. but she
was too much overcome by the
tragedy to be seen. Through a friend,
however. it was learned that there
had been no rupture of the engage
ment between the minister and her
self and that there had been no
arrangement Of any kind.
When Mr.. Thomson's engagement
became known a woman who lived at
the same hotel where Mr. Thomson
resided began to circulate reports in
volving Mr.. Thomson. This so aroused
the women members Of the church that
on Monday last a delegation of the wo-
men of the congregation called at the
hotel There was a stormy scene and
as result the woman left Woodbury.
that evening.
1t is said by guests of the hotel
that at the time Of the announcement
of DIR. Thomson's engagement to Miss
Kenworthy, the clergyman and the
woman in the case had a violent scene.
She is alleged to have said that she
would not permit any other woman to
come between them.
He owes me- she is alleged to have
said, "all the love and duty belonging
to wife and I shall not permit him
to desert me-
1t Is also reported that a meeting Of
Sunday school teachers held last
Thursday night the woman, who was a
member of Mr.. Thomson's church, de-
nounced Mr.. Thomson, calling him,
among other things, "a 'hypocrite"

FORGE HUMAN CHAIN.
Firemen on Leave Make a Thrilling
Rescue From Tenement.

New York, April 1.-Two firemen
who were taking day or made a
thrilling rescue on the top floor of a
burning tenement on Third avenue to-
day by forging a human chain from
the coping Of an adjoining house and
swinging to safety George Deitz, who
had been caught by the fire in the hall
way of the building. Deitz woke from
a sound sleep, startled and confused,
to find flames coming up through the
areaway. He ran first to the front of
in that direction and when he tried to
go back was confronted by a sheet of
fire. The young man again ran to the
front window and screamed for help.
The firemen did not have ladders
enough to reach to the top floor where
Deitz was hemmed in.
Ffremen Dugan and Sithes were off
duty, but were near the place when
the alarm sounded. They climbed into
the building next door and appeared on
the coping which was several feet high
err than the window in which Deitz was
standing. They called to Deitz to climb
out on the window sill. Then Sythes
crawled head first to the edge Of the
coping, Dugan holding his feet. Slowly
and carefully the perilous feat of gain
ing a swing so that Sythes could reach
Deitz's hand was accomplished. Held
fast by the firemen Deitz let go of the
window casing and for several mo-
ments the two men were swinging in
midair 30 feet above the pavement.
Meantime Dugans was crawling back
wards. He regained his feet and was
then able to pull the two men to the
coping. A great crowd which had gath
cred in the street cheered the daring
rescue.

IN REBELLION.
Up State Democrats Object to Rule
of Murphy and Connors.

New York, April IA conference
of a number of delegates to the Dem
ocratic state committees from various
countries throughout the upper part
of the state is scheduled to be held
at the Hoffman house in this city to-
night. The purpose of the meeting
is to formulate some plan by which
protest may be made against the re-
suits Of the convention and the con-
troll of the state committee by the
forces headed by w. J. Corners and
c. r. Murphy. The question as to
the right of the delegates from each
senatorial district to elect a member
of the state committee is expected to
be the chief point under discussion
and it Is possible that method will
be agreed upon in the endeavor to
force a recognition Of that right by
the newly chosen state committee.
Delegates from 26 counties are ex-
pected to attend the meeting.
