I'D been on watch constantly tor
more than thirty hours.
Neither Hammond nor Monckton
had attempted to visit the Cushway
home: nor, in fact, had anyone else.
McGill found 1t livelier in the alley.
especially the second day. Delivery
wagons plowed their way through the
drifts. An olive-skinned peddler, with
a huge pack of fabrics which he ear
nestly-and untruthfully declared to
have been struggled from Persia, went
from back door to back door, tempting
the maids with his gaudy display.
The gasman was the first to enter
Cushway's by way of the alley that
afternoon. He was followed presently
by a plumber with his kit of tools,
smudge of grease and four days
growth of beard adjoining his face. A
broad-shouldered grocer's boy, muffled
to the eyes, puffed in with basket.
The plumber, as usual, had forgotten
important tools and went back to his
shop for them. He borrowed match
from McGill on his way out.
Returning presently, he paused for
er. Hungry for human companionship.
McGill guardedly explained his vigil.
Also he ventured the assertion that
odd man Cushway must have pull
like a four-horse team or the chief
wouldn't be standing for such monkey
hi SIM cc fbjc
Shortly after four o'clock Cushway's
carriage drew up to the house. He
grinned with satisfaction at sight of
the watchers, for their presence
proved Hammond had not ventured to
call. On being dismissed with gen.
erous tip they left. {.
The man servant took Cushway's
bag, and the magnate walked springily
up the steps. At the door of the H.
brary he stopped, paralyzed; for there,
awaiting his coming, were his placid
wife and pretty daughter, his secre-
tary and the Rev. Mr.. Monckton. 1
How did you two get in here?" de-
manded Cushway. i
Walked in, sir; Mr.. Monckton and
| were strong for theatricals in COL
lege and we thought we could disguise ]
ourselves and fool the detectives He )
made up as the grocer's man and Il
posed as the plumber. And-here we
are, SIR"
Mr.. Cushway was noted for his vio-
lent and uncertain temper. But now
he showed that he had a sense of the
fitness Of things as we'll. He realized
under the extraordinary circumstances,
the utter inadequacy Of flying into a
rage. II suppose you are married."
he asked. quite mildly.
mo, SIR" replied Hammond, mot
yet. We wanted to show that we
could outwit detectives. But we
wouldn't take any unfair advantage Of
:ou So we waited"
His employer fixed him with hos
tile eye. II can't order you out" he
grumbled, "for I've just gotten control
of Perkins company and l need you
worse than ever" His glance travelled
over the expectant group. WELL" he
cried, irascibly, whats the use of sit
ting around staring like lunatics? 90
ahead and get married, hang it,"
His daughter threw herself in his
arms. Daddy, you're an old darling!"
she cried, rapturously. But, perhaps,
we'd better wait week or SO. Really.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Sayreville. July 3.-The body Of Carl
Lang, of Upper Sayreville, was found
in the water at the end of the dock
here this morning where he had fallen
last night after shooting himself in the
mouth. 1t is thought he was affected
by the heat. William Chevalier and AL
bert Schneider had been graphing for
the body ever since the man s hat and
revolver were found on the dock
shortly after daylight today. No rea-
son can be given for the man taking
his life. Although he had been in i'll
health for some time.
Lang was last seen at 8:45 O'Clock
last night at Main and River streets.
He had left home but fifteen minutes
before. 1t is supposed he went direct
to the dock and took his life, for
Michael Cravin, a watchman at Sayre
& Fishers brick yard heard shot in
the direction of the dock about that
time. He made an investigation but
found nothing. Supposing it was some
drunken men he returned to the works.
Early this morning Cravin, accom-
panied by Philip Farley, again made
an investigation and this time found
the hat and revolver. The latter was
identified by the engineer at the Sayre
& Fisher plant as one belonging to
Lang. 1t was supposed that the body
had fallen overheard and search was
at once started. An examination of
the body after it was recovered showed
that the man had shot himself in the
mouth. Coroner Hubbard was notified.
Lang leaves a widow and five chill
dren. The latter are John, Sallie, Jo-
seph Edward and Frank.
Another Body Found.
While picking wild honeysuckle back
of the Sayreville township hall yester
day, some Poles came across a man s
body in the bushes. 1t was later iden-
titled as Martin Kraus, an employe of
the Sayre & Fisher Co. He was last
seen yesterday morning when he was
under the influence of liquor. Coroner
Hubbard was notified and undertaken

MEEkER & CO., WIN

Washington, July 3:-The Inter
state Commerce Commission Satur-
day ordered reductions in rates on
anthracite coal from the Wyoming
region, in Pennsylvania, to tide-wa-
ter at Perth Amboy, N. j., averag-
ing approximately II cents a ton.
The case was that of Meeker &
Co., against the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road Company. 1t has been pend
ing for years, and was one Of the
most bitterly contested coal cases
ever brought to the attention of
the commission. The decision, pre-
pared by Commissioner McChord, is
the unanimous judgment of the
commission.
Preparations has been running
since Aug. l, 1901, and the Lehigh
therefore will have to make refunds
on all shipments in that period of
the difference between the higher
rates exacted and tho lower ones
now established.
The commission holds that the
rates collected by the Lehigh were
unjustly discriminatory and resulted
in damage to the complainant. The
present rates for the transportation

reasonable to the extent that they
exceed S1.40 on prepared sizes,
s1.30 on pea coal and s116 on buck

are established as guides for the fu-
ture.
The commissiony says that the re-
duction will have no serious effect
on the defendants revenues, and
will afford ample allowance for in
teTest charges, operation, dividends
and aTi~pronsr reserve funds" The

CLOSE ESCAPE
OF FIRE CHIEF
Patrick Rocks Injured by
Trolley Badly Bruised.

Patrick ]. Rocks, chief of the fire
department, is confined to his home
in Smith street as the result of being
struck by trolley car shortly before
O'Clock Saturday evening. Mr..
Rocks received many cuts and
bruises about the left leg and arms
besides having his back badly sprain-
ed.
Returning from South Amboy the
chief alighted from buggy in front
of his place of business and told
John Owens, one of his employees, to
take the horse and rig to the stables
of Theodore Anderson. AS the chief
started for his place of business he
noticed trolley car No. 2012 bearing
down on the horse, which had start
ed for home on its own account. He
rushed out, grabbed the bride of the
animal and tried his utmost 10
swerve it from the pathway of the
car.
The chiefs efforts were of no avail
and before he could escape the fend-
er of the car struck and hurled him
to the pavement with such force as
to render him unconscious. Eye wit
nesses were horror stricken as they
believed the car had passed over his
body. Mr.. Rocks was picked up and
carried to his home, where DR.. J. S.
Hay attended him. Although no
bones were broken or serious injuries
received he will be laid up for some
time.
Mr.. Rocks said this morning that
he considered his escape a miracu-
lous one, stating that he owes his life
to the faithful steed which he had
been driving some time before the
accident occurred. AS the trolley
car hit the horse and threw the chief
to the ground the animal bolted and
as the chief was tangled up in the
reins he was dragged from under
meath the cars wheels. Immediately
after the accident a large crowd
gathered and traffic hindered for sew
eral minutes. The car was in charge
of Conductor Irving. Mr.. Rocks as
yet cannot state whether he will be
allowed to participate in tomorrow
festivities or not.

Flock Of Birds.
Special By United Press Wire.


London, July 3-With as much ease
and precision as boat now crosses the
English Channel in fair weather, eleven
aviators who are contesting in the four
nations race, sailed over that strip of
water today from Calais to Dover, thus
duplicating the feat of Bleriot, who,
two years ago this month, astounded
the whole world with his record fight.
The ease and absolute nonchalance
with which the eleven aviators made
the flight was so apparent that their
landing in quick succession in England
became almost monotonous to the
throng of thousands who were gath
cred at various points along the Bri-
tish coast to greet them.
Pierre Viedrene recorded his win
ming Of the fourth of the seven stages
of the race by being the first today to
cross along the trail blazed by Bleriot.
By winning this stage from Calais to
Hendon he won a special prize of $4,000
and second special prize for the best
time between Dover and Shoreham.
Those besires Viedrene who made
this flight are: Vidart, Kimmerling,
Conneau, Balentine, Garros, Reneaux,
Train, Gilbert, Tabuteau and Barra.
Reneau carried a passenger. Gilbert
took the special prize for the pest time
in covering the distance. His time for
"a miles was thirty-seven minutes fifty
seven seconds.
Conneau, because his time from the
start of the race to London is the low
est, won special prize of $4,000.

Lady Constance Foljambe, daughter
of the Earl of Liverpool, failed to
show up at St. Peters at Eaton
Square for her marriage to the Rev.
H. Hawkins. An ultra-fashionable
audience had gathered and the groom
and his party were in waiting when
Lady Constance failed to appear and
messengers were sent in search of
her. They returned with the news
that the bride-to-be had left home
this morning and had not since been
seen. After a wait of an hour the
audience was dismissed. Hawkins
said that he believed some accident
had befallen his bride, but the know
ing ones declare that she had
changed her mind at the last mo-
ment and had eloped with a former
sweetheart, but this could not be
verified The family of Lady Con-
stance published a statement to-
night that the wedding had been in
definitely postponed. The police be-
gan a search for her but dropped it
on learning that the family knew of
her whereabouts.
