man. The bridal couple carried a
shower of bridal roses.
A reception followed Immediately
after the wedding ceremony, at the
home of the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Kress, at 76 Augusta
street. There were many guests
from this city, South Amboy, New

til the departure of Mr.. and Mrs.
Waters on the 1890 O'Clock train.
Singing and dancing were enjoyed

entertained on the piano.
The bridal couple left in coach
for the railroad depot about IL

sign, "Kress," and on the other,
Waters. Soon after the train had
been boarded, one of the guests
loomed up with huge sign, on

When seen this morning he would
not discuss the reason for resigning.
He stated that he had rendered his
resignation about a month ago, and
that It had been officially accepted
by the Foreign department of Dem
mark, at Copenhagen. Although he
stated that the position had been
source of bother to him in some
lines, he intimated that that was not
his reason for resigning. He refus-
ed absolutely to divulge his main
reason for giving up the position.
When asked if his successor had
been appointed he expressed his
doubts if one would be for some
time, owing to the little work to do
as vice-consul. He said the duties
connected with the position are to
look after Danish ships that enter
port and he says not one has entered
here during his term of office.
From other sources it is learned
that all is not as harmonious among
the Danish population as might be.
There has been great deal of fault
finding with Mr.. Holm in certain
quarters, and it is intimated that
his resignation as vice-consul fol-
lows complaints that have been made
to Denmark.
Mr. Holm has done a big business
representing Scandinavian steam
ship companies and in handling
money for Danish people who have
sent funds to the old country.
A short time ago, quite a contro-
versy took place through the coll
umns of Mr.. Holm's paper over the.
purchase of the orphans home in this
city. Mr.. Holm thought the place
could have been bought cheaper than
1t was. but the outcome seemed to
have vindicated those who had the
purchase in charge. At that time,
and for some time previous, much
bitter feeling existed and there are
those who say the end is not yet.
Mr. Holm is the owner of the
Westminster tract and the old COVER
nor's mansion, and has dealt etxen-
sively in real estate in this vicinity.
Much of his time is now occupied in
New York, where his Danish-
American is published.

DECKHAND ON BARGE
FELL LIFELESS ON DECK

While repairing some Tenders on the
barge Defender of the Red Ball line,
at the Lehigh Valley docks at noon to-
day, James A. Lyon, sixty-three years
old, of Hartford, Conn, who was en-
ployed as deckhand, suddenly fell
prostrate. His wife who was nearby ran
to his assistance, but found that he was
dead
Captain Start notified the police
but did not feel certain that Lyon was
dead, and asked to have a physician
sent there. DIR. M. s. Meinzer was
summoned, but on reaching the docks
was told that he was not needed, as
there was no question about the man
being lifeless.
Coroner Ferd Garretson was notified
shortly afterward and after viewing
the body and investigating the case
gave a permit for its removal. Death
was caused by heart disease.
Lyon is survived by widow and
four children. His wife lived on the
barge with him, but the children are
with relatives.

rather see another epidemic OF

ured in an exciting runaway this
morning He came near losing his life.

to two-wheeled cart ran down Cor
don street about o'clock with only
young Weiss ON the seat. 1t went to
within three feet of the bulkhead at the
foot of Gordon street and came near
plunging into the water.

backing strap of the harness parting.

frightening the naimal.
Weiss was uninjured beyond having
his left arm and parts of his body bad

until the horse stopped.
The same horse figured in runaway
few weeks ago, in which two boys
were badly injured and wagon load
of groceries were spilled.
