Mrs. John e.. TreglOan

died at her home in Linden on Dec. &.
She became the wife Of John G. Tregloan
on Nov. "a, 1903 The Conservative
says:
Shortly after their marriage, they
took up their residence in Linden and
thenceforward resided here continuous
ly. The deceased was in seeming the
personification of good health; but for
some years she had been subject to severe
attacks Of infammatOry rheumatism
that came on suddenly. 1t was such an
attack that carried her off, before even
those about had come to think Of her
being seriously i'll, as it were, and before
the people of the village had knowledge
that she was i'll. The deceased was
remarkable for her cheeriness. Good
nature was the dominant expression OF
her countenance; and her happy laugh.
the laugh that, free from boisterousness
and levity. came as from one always
JOYOUS and free from worry Not that
she was wanting in feeling and sympa-
thy, not that her eyes knew no tears,
for she was truly kindly and sympathe-
tic. but only that nature fashioned her
in happy mood, endowed her with in;
ternal sunshine.
She leaves to mourn her departure,
her husband and little son of four or
five years; her father and mother, three
sisters and two brothers. And the peo
pie of Linden, too. in general, will not
soon forget that one so lOveable 80 early
crossed the bar and put out to SCI"

Breaking OF Derrick Weakens
Support and Boom Drops.
IDENTITY OF VICTIM UNKNOWN
Accident Occurred at Excavation for
WoolWorth Building in New York
-Workmen Escape Death by
Very Narrow Margin.

New York. Dec. IA. - A man was
by derrick boom which, detached
from its support by the breaking of a
cable, dropped across the sidewalk on
the south side Of Park Place, a little
west of Broadway. The heavy boom
crashed through a fence built between
the sidewalk and an excavation for
the new Woodwork building.
Scores Of people were in the vicinity
at the time. A steady stream Of per
sons was passing from the Park Place
station of the Sixth Avenue L. but
it SO happened that no one was within
reach Of the destructive piece Of der
rick except the two victims. The man
was killed instantly. Not only the
boom, but heavy pulley fell on him,
crushing his head,
The boy. James Pappalino, Is years
old, 431 East One Hundred and
Fifteenth street, suffered fracture OF
the skull and other serious injuries
and was taken to ST Gregory hospital.
There were no papers in the pockets
of the man who was killed to give a
cleW to his identity. He had 1892 in
an old pocketbook, which also con-
tanned a small brass religious medal
stamped with a figure of ST. Joseph
and a worn and undecipherable Latin
inscription.
The work of eXcavating for the
foundations of the WoolWorth building,
which is to be the second tallest struc-
ture in the world, is being done by
the Foundation company. Four der
ricks are at work. The cables of each
are inspected every morning by a man
specially detailed to that work.
According to the officers of the
Foundation company, the usual inspec-
ton was made and all the cables ap-
peared to be in perfect condition. But
a cable of the derrick in the north
westerly corner Of the excavation gave
way, Just as the great timber boom,
from which depended a steel bucket
of earth and stone weighing ton was
swinging over the side of the walk.
The bucket and it's contents tumbled
back into the excavation, narrowly
missing a gang of workmen. The boom
swung sidewise and dropped across
the sidewalk.
