IDLE, ENDS LIFE;
WIFE FLEES TO
SAVE HER OWN
Louis Mckay Shoots Himself,
and Had Threatened to
Stay Her Also.
O K ROMANCE OF HIS
SISTER HAD AFFECTED HIM
NeighbOr in Terror When Des=
pOndent Man Appears
with a Revolver.

Out of employment, Louis Mckay. 81
years old, of 126 Maine street. committed
suicide yesterday. SO his widow stated
today. Mckay, it was also declared,
took greatly to heart the suicide of the
sutton of his sister some years ago.
The latter shot himself as he was leav-
ing his sweetheart's home, in New
York.
Mckay killed himself in the kitchen
of his home. He had been morose for
months past. because Of the Illness
which caused his inability to work
steadily as a shipping clerk for the
Singer Sewing Machine Company, and
some time ago he attempted his life by
poison.
Wife Feared for Her Life.
Mrs. Mckay, according to the police,
fled for her life when her husband en-
tered the kitchen of their home yes
terday afternoon and brandished a re-
volver.
He had often said that if he killed
himself he would take his wife with
him."
Mrs. Mckay was talking to her
neighbors, Mrs. Pauline Schaefer and
her daughter, q Miss Mildred Schaefer.
when Mckay entered the room, took
off his coat and said:
I'm going to end all encouragement
now"
As he removed his coat Miss Schae-
fer screamed at the sight of a revolver
Nh his hip pocket. Together the three
women fled from the room to the floor
below. Mckay did not pursue them,
nor did they near the sound of a shot.
Mrs. Mckay sent Mildred out to the
saloon of Jacob Ihrig, at 122 Maine
street, for aid. Mckay had previously
declared his suicidal intent to Ihrig, sc
he , listened to the house. He found
Mckay lying dead. shot through the
heart, and the revolver on the floor.
The Third Precinct police were noti-
fed, and Plain%clothesman Brex was
sent to investigate. County Physician
Elliott view the body and granted a
burial permit. The funeral arrange
ments have not yet been made.
Mckay had been employed as a ship
ping clerk in the Singer Sewing Ma
chine Works at Elizabeth, but ar
operation he underwent a few months
ago incapacitated him for work. H,
became more melancholy as the week
of idleness passed by, and frequent!

TOWN PUMP MAY Go DRY.
Commission Averse to Granting
Corporations Water Rights.

The State Water Supply Commission
next week will hear argument in the
application of the Buckhorn Water
Company at Belvidere, which has
asked to be allowed to change the
water supply of that town. The town
has a population of $500, and has been
pumping it's potable water.
If the consent of the commission is
gained the company will supply the
town from Buckhorn Greek.
The commission has declared no more
potable water shall BASS to companies
or corporations. SO the application may
be denied.

FRETFUL OVER DELAY
Other Murder Trials to Precede
That of Lampblack Swamp
Mystery.

Theodore S. Whitmore will be ar

Court of Oyer and Terminer of Hudson
County at 10 O'Clock tonsorrow MORN
ing, to plead to the Indictment charg-
ing him with the murder of his wife
Lena, whose nude body was found in
the Lampblack swamp in Harrison De-
ceniber 26 last.
Whitmore will plead not guilty to the
Indictment and will then be remanded
to the county jail to await his trial,
which will not occur before the last
of March or early in April. Applica-
lion will be made by Alexander Simp-
son, his attorney. for a early trial
but as there are four other murder
cases on the calendar 1t is improbable
that the case will come up until The
spring term of court is far advanced.
Mr.. Simpson made the following
statement to THE EVENING STAR
today:
"Whitmore will go free for the SIM
pie reason that the prosecution has nc
case against him. He has a perfect
alibi, which will be produced if neces-
sary; but l don't think hal it will be
necessary. :

Whitmore was in exceedingly good
humor today when informed that he

CANADIAN DIME CAUSES
NEAR RUCTt0N ON A CAR
Young Woman Passenger and Street
Railway Conductor Clash and the
Former Seems 10 Have Won.

A Canadian dime offered by young
woman in payment of fare on a Long
View car yesterday morning precipi
tated such a heated controversy be
tween the passenger and conductor
that the former secured legal advice,
and lodged complaint against the
street car man. This morning there
was another conductor in charge of
the car. The young woman claimed
she had received the coin from
street railway conductor and refused
to pay her fare with United States
money. She also refused to accept
a lawful dime in exchange for the
foreign piece offered by a gentleman
who was on the car to end the con-
troversy. When threatened with
ejectment she defied the ICON" to lay
hands upon her. declaring she would
get off when she got good and ready.
This she did, after riding several
blocks farther than was her custom
and took the Canadian dime with her.
