to small fire in Alyea street AT Fer
ry and Monroe streets an express
wagon was driven in front of the fire
truck, and, before the driver could
check his horses, the center horse hit
the wagon with its head, breaking it,
upper jawbone, and the off horse was
bruised about the body.
The impact was SO great that Me-

on the ground on his right knee and
was injured internally. He refused to
go to a hospital anu was taken home.
DR.. Hugh M. Hart, the department

injuries are SO painful that it will take
a day or SO to ascertain how badly
they are.
Campbell met with his accident on
the automobile while on its way to 81

mud in Broad street, opposite Washing
ton street, against trolley pole. He
was thrown over the side of the auto
and landed on his back. He was sent

learned that none of his bones were
broken he reported back for duty.
This morning, however, he was forced
to go home.
The automobile had to be sent to the

Sinking of the Republic

Alexander Neill, of 100 High street.
Orange, who returned yesterday after
noon from Europe on the Lucania, of
the Cunard line, saw the Republic go
down off the Nantucket lightship sun
day. He had been to Dublin on busi-
ness trip lasting six weeks.
When the Republic was sinking Mr..
Neill took several pictures. Describing
the laundering last night he said:
1--WE were travelling through the
heavy fog Saturday when the Marconi
operator received the &C. @. D." dis
tress signal and later ascertained that
the message came from the Republic.
The dispatches caught by the operator
were translated and shown to the pas
sengers. The belief was general that
the Republic was sinking with all her
passengers aboard
Our captain Immediately slowed up
and fingered about in an effort to locate
the boat. The fog was extra heavy. and
we were unable to see sixty feet ahead.
Messages came quickly, but still the
effort 70 locate the Republic was in
vain. and we continued to maneuver
around in the vicinity for hours hoping
to be able to give help
"Orders We're given for the sailors to
stand by the life boats and prepare for
action, and after while the whistles

could be heard. At $50 ] came out
again and several vessels were in the
locality. The fog raised for time. al

about and the various boats exchanged
signals with rockets The fog grew
deeper again, continuing so till $50

hundred feet away was the Baltic and
near her the New York. while we lay
to the starboard of the latter steamer
"A life-boat of the Republic fioated
past us while in this position The fog
again lifted and we could plainly see
the big hole in the Republics side; its
stern was twisted and sinking We
stood by till assured no further help
was needed. We steamed away when
the boat sank. We remained all night
near Sandy Hook owing to the fog
Later when we started ahead the Baltic
and New York were near us once
more
Mr.. Neill also told of meeting another
ship in distress when about 1000 miles
out from Queenstown on the way over.
It was an oil steamer and asked to be
reported by the Lucania, which was
done.

PERSISTENT WIFE,
Deserted MUST
NOW STAND TRIAL

The man Will, seven wives" as his
wife calls him, Otto Schoenwalder, of
Il Jacob street, was prisoner in the
lSi.st Criminal Court today, the fifth
time in eight weeks charged by his
present help-mate, Josephine, with de-
sertion 1t is Josephine who says that
otto is "a full-fledged Brigham Young.
She has repeatedly made this assertion
III court, and each time her husband
was d listener. His only denial was a
shrug OF his shoulders.
Mrs. Schoenwalder had matrimonial
voyages before, and she says when she
married Otto she owned considerable
property somewhere in the South. Be-
cause of her husbands refusal to sup
port her this property, she says, has
dwindled away until now it is entirely
plastered by mortgages.
Schoenwalder has time and again
promised Overseer of the Poor Bald
win that he would contribute to his
wife's support but each time has failed
to make good. The husband declares
that his wife's tongue is too much for
him, and he has to leave her.
The wife says that she has been
forced to sleep in a cellar, as the land
lady took charge of her apartments for
back rent.
Judge Hahn informed the wife today
that he did not want to hear Of the
seven wives story and simply wanted
to know from Schoenwalder why he
won't give his wife so a week.
"She chases my children from home, ;"
said the prisoner. He was put under
$500 bail for trial Friday.

UTLEY DESCRIBES TON
DEATH OF SUTTON
Not So Sure Of Suicide Theory

Annapolis. Md. Aug. 6.-.For fve
hours Lieutenant Harold Utley of the
marine corps was subjected to an ex-
acting examination and cross.exami-
nation in regard TO his connection
with the death of Lieutenant James
N. Sutton Of Oregon, which Is the
subject Of investigation before the
naval board sof inquiry.
The new alignment in the proceed
ings whereby five Of Sutton's brother
officers. who have already testified.
and Lieutenant Utley appeared In
court as defendants, accused by Mrs.
Sutton, the dead boys mother, and
her daughter, Mrs. II. Parker, Of
causing Lieutenant Sutton's death,
had no effect In curbing the iestimo-
ny Of Lieutenant Utley. Notified OF
his privilege as a defendant by Ma
jor Leonard. the Judge advocate. that
he need not answer any questions
which he thought might tend to in
criminate him. JItley waived the priv
ilege and answered all questions put
to him. His story in substance was
corroborative of the testimony Of the
other officers who were present at
the fight between Lieutenant Adams
and Lieutenant Sutton In the early
morning of Oct. l3, 1907. when young
Sutton was shot. While Utley said
he was under the impression at the
time of the shooting that Sutton, in
the heat OF the struggle with him and
other officers who were attempting to
disarm Sutton. directed the shot
against himself, he was not nearly as
positive about the suicide theory as
the preceding witnesses. In answer
to Major Leonard's questions, the
witness said he would consider
man committed suicide who was at
tempting TO shoot some one else and
shot himself by mistake.
