SEEKS SOLACE IN
DEATH WHEN TOLD
He CANNOT MARRY
William H. Shauger, Who Took
Poison, Had Planned to
ElOpe.
GIRLS MOTHER PERSUADES
HER TO CALL WEDDING OFF
Marriage License in Pocket
When He Ends Life in
Front of Theatre.

In despair because, on the very
night of his wedding, he had been told
by the girl he loved that she could not
marry him, William H. Shauger, of
632 Warren street, killed himself
early today in front of the Newark
Theatre, in Market street.
= He was TO have married Miss Anna
B. Yaeger, 81 years old, of Quimby
street, West Orange, last night. In
his pocket was found the marriage
license, which was issued on July Z.
Miss Yaeger and Shauger had
planned to elope. The girls mother,
Mrs Annie R. Yaeger, had not the
faintest suspicion of their plans until
yesterday afternoon. when she
CHANGED upon love letter in which
the license was mentioned.
Mrs Yaeger liked Shauger very
well. but she knew that he suffered
from attacks of hysteria and she did
not want her daughter to teopardize
her fuoure by risking marriage with
him.
She had heart-to- heart talk with
the girl. In ending her appeal, she
said:
You can see that more than his
and your happiness is concerned.
Getting married is too serious to be
thought lightly Of You see, don't
you. that you must give up Although
of it,
Miss Yaeger broke down.
II can't do IT, l can't. can't"
she sobbed. 1--WE were going to get
married tonight"
At length Mrs. Yaeger persuaded
her that she ought to ask Shauger to
release her
Kisses Mother Good-by.
When Shauger went home for sup
per his mother, Mrs. Mary A. Bar
nett, saw that he was excited. After
he had risen from the table, he went
around to her and kissed her.
"Good-by, mother" he said. you
may not see me for awhile. I'm go-i
ing to have the girl, after ALL"
She had not been told of the secret
wedding arrangements. but she knew
of her sons engagement. She real
ized, from his manner, that he was
particularly elated.
God bless you!'' she cried, as he
went out.
Shauger did not find Miss Yaeger
ready to elope with him when he went
to call for her. Instead she asked
him, tearfully, but firmly, to release
her.
But we're going to get married

DESERTED BABE IN
APAUPER'S GRAVE
City Buries Body of Little One,
Whose Parents Cannot
Be Found.

Although Plainclothesman Cort, of
the Fourth precinct, has made every
effort to locate the parents of the
h-year-o1d child who died at the
Babies Hospital. 437 High street, last
Monday night, not one clue could he
find which might lead to the iden-
tification of the child. The child was
buried in potter's field today at the
city's expense under orders from
County Physician Mckenzie.
Last Monday afternoon a woman
who gave her name as Mrs. Samuel
Goldstein and said she lived at Is
Boyd street, appeared at the hospital
with the child in her arms. The tot
at that time was critically ill, suffer-
ing from stomach trouble. The wo-
man explained to the hospital au-
thorities that she did not know who
the child's parents were. She said
that about month ago woman
had called at her house and had left
the baby with her, paying a months
board in advance, saying that at the
end of the month she would pay for
another month. She did not ap-
pear. however according to Mrs.
Goldstein.
When the child died the hospital au-
thorities asked the police of the
Fourth precinct to notify Mrs. Gold
stein Plainclothesman Cort was sent
to the address. but could find nobody
by that name living there or anyone
who knew anything about the child.
AS yet Mrs. Goldstein has not again
called at the Babies Hospital to in
quire about the child. The only name
by which the child was known is
"Walter." The tot was dressed very
plainly when admitted to the hospital.
