Soon Afterward.

While on his way to visit his daugh-
ter, as was his custom, Charles Post,
Y years old, who boarded at 2SO Bank

killed by a train on the Greenwood
Lake Branch of the Erie Railroad, near

fortunate man was walking along a
track. on which a train was rapidly APP
preaching in the opposite direction and
when the locomotive had reached with

too late.
The train was stopped and the crew
took the man hurriedly to the North
Newark station of the Erie Railroad,
but he succumbed on the way. The
body was removed to Mullins Morgue.
Roger Maher. flagman stationed at
the Mill street crossing, said today
that when he went to wave the signal
for the passing of the $40 express
train, bound for New York, he saw
Post whom he knew, walking toward
n
engine was going in an easterly direc-
ton and the dead man was heading
westward. Maher said he became
nervous and feared that Post was GO
ing to be struck.
The passing of the cars blocked the
fiagman's view for several seconds.
After the train had passed Maher
looked In the direction where Post was

him lying between the two tracks. He
rushed down to the spot, which is To-
Gated about 175 feet east of Mill street,
and found that the man was near
death. His head was badly mutilated.
Maher then told Peter DAILY, of Mill
street, Soho, to notify John K. Van
Ness, the dead mans son-in-law. who
is employed in the Hendricks Brothers
cooper rolling mills. short distance
from where the man was struck. Van
Ness. knowing that his father-in-law

He telephoned to Mullins morgue,
and found out that an envelope was
! found in the mans pocket which bore
his name and address. A bank-book. a
gold watch. several memorandums and
about SIG in cash were also found on
his person. The name of the engineer
of the. train is Slawson and that OF
the conductor Is Lockwood.
Post is survived by two daughters
and one SON. They are Mrs. John r

of this city, and John Post, of Bloom

plant In that place. Mr.. Van Ness said
TODAY that his father-in-law was a shoe
rounder by trade, and had lived In
Newark many years.

BEATEN IN FIGHT
WITH WIFE, MAN
IS ALSO ARRESTED

Charged with assault and battery on
his wife, John II. Elliot, 50 years old,
leather manufacturer at 81 Ann street,
was released under $500 bail by Judge
Hahn in the Third Precinct Police
Court this morning.
Elliot was arrested last night by
Roundsmen Kelly, Carroll and Kull.
They were notified that fight was in
progress at 81 Ann street. and on ar
riying on the scene discovered Elliot
and his wife engaged in hand-to-
hand combat The officers intervened
and demanded an explanation. The
wife said she was entirely innocent of
any wrong. She had been attacked by
her husband. she said, and but for the
timely arrival of the officers would
probably have been seriously injured
They took her word for it.
Mr.. Elliot was unable to give his YER
sion of the rumpus He was pretty
we'll PLAYED out and evidently was
happy over the timely arrival o. pro
tectors of the peace. He was taken
to the police station. charged with as

hest in order to pr Jtect the defenseless
wife, or perhaps to protect the prisoner
from his 'defenseless wife, TO lock
him up for the night
Mrs. Elliot was at the court bright
and early this morning, to see that the
man who struck defenseless woman
received the punishment he deserved.
The man in. question was a sorry sight.
If the opinion of those in the court
room as to who won the fight had been
asked it is doubtful if the man would
have received the decision. Even in
the courtroom he seemed glad that

JUSTICE DEAD.
s. SUPREME COURT SUD.
DENLY EXPIRES.
HOLDS OFFICE FOR 22 YEARS
Death Comes From Heart Failure and
Was Wholly Unexpected and Re-.
owe One OF Most Distinguished
Members Of American Bench.

Washington, July 5.-Chief Justice
Melville Weston Fuller, for nearly
twenty-five year the presiding officer
of the United States supreme court,
died suddenly July 4 at his summer
home in Sorrento, Me. His death,
which was wholly unexpected, was
caused by heart failure. He had been.
apparently, in excellent health for the
last few days.
The death of Chief Justice Fuller
removes n Of the most distin-
guished members of the American
bench and a turist whose abilities
were recognized and admired through
out the world.
It also places in the hands Of Presi-
dent Taft the privilege of naming his
successor, and the opportunity to ap-
point a chief justice Of the United
States supreme court to but
few presidents.
Chief Justice Fuller was a citizen
of Chicago and a member of the bar
of that city when he was appointed to
the supreme bench by President Cleve-
land, in 1888, and 1t is regarded in
political circles at the capital as high
ly probable that a Chicago man
Lloyd w. Bowers, solicitor gen.
eral Of the United States-may be
placed IN the supreme bench as a re-
suit of the death of the chief justice.
A Great American.
To Chief Justice Fuller fell the
honor of third rank for lentgh Of serv-
ice as presiding rank for leng dluu
ice as presiding Justice in the high
est tribunal of the American govern
ment.
For % years he was chief justice
of the supreme court of the United
States. Chief Justice Marshall pre-
sided over the court for "a years and
Chief Justice fancy for % years.
With the future rests the determine
ton of his rank among the eight
chief justices of history for ability and
accomplishments.
Before Grover Cleveland sent his
name to the senate on April 80. 1888,
for confirmation as chief justice, he
was practically unknown except to
members of the legal profession. In
Maine. where he was born on Febru.
airy IL, 1888, he had been known as
a well-behaved, rather scholarly lad.
He had gone to Bowdoin college, and,
incidentally, there won most of the
prizes for elocution. He had gone
down to Harvard law school for one
year.
His Great Argument.
From 1856 to 1888 he lived in Chi

Value Of Married Friendship.

To the question: How old are the
Niagara falls?" biologists have re-
turned replies varying by tens OF
thousands of years. At first 1t was
estimated that the Niagara river
came into existence through changes
in the level of the land around the
great lakes about $4,000 years ago.
Later this was reduced to only 10000
years. Lyell Increased the estimate
again to $500 years. and still later
other scientists lowered it to about 8.
900 years.
