While Working in Pardee Com
pany Plant, Louis Martin is
0verCime by Excessive Heat
and Passes Away.
HIS WIFE IS FRUSTRATED
Returns After Shopping Trip to
Find Her Husband Lying
Dead; Torrid Air Proved Fa-
tai, 1t Is Said.

The first victim this season of the
excessive heat which sent the mer-
curry up to eighty-six degrees in this
city by o'clock this afternoon, is
Louis Martin, of Grace street, kiln
laborer at the C. Pardee works, who
succumbed at his work, dying in
stantly. The man died while Mrs
Martin was busily engaged in shop
ping, preparatory to preparing his
midday meal When she returned
from the stores about 1890 O'Clock
she found the corpse of her husband
and Coroner James ]. Flynn await
ing her Mrs. Martin was prostrat-
ed by grief and the shock of such
sudden, sad news. She was revived
in a few minutes.
Mr. Martin NRs employed in the
tile department of the works, his du-
ties being about the kilns. The ar
tificial heat of the place together
with the natural temperature of the
atmosphere, made the air torrid in
the building. He was helping to un-
load a kiln, 1t Is said, when his fel-
low workers saw him topple over,
They picked him up, but he was mo-
tionless, and could not support hiR-
self. DR.. Charles w. Naulty, Jr., was
called and found the man dead. The
physician thought apoplexy or the
heat had caused Martins sudden
death. The remains were removed
from the factory to his late home
by the coroner. Mr.. Martin leaves be
side his wife, two small children. II,
was forty-four years old.

POLICE PROBING
WOMAN 8 DEATH
Believe That She Was Beaten
by Her Husband in
Roosevelt.
WILL PERFORM AN AUTOPSY

Though she died at her home in
Roosevelt Sunday night after short
illness, apparently from natural
causes, the remains of Mrs. John
Moukin will be examined today by
County Physician Carroll to ascer-
| tain II her death was caused as the
result Of a beating alleged to have
been administered by her own hus-
band about ten days ago.
The woman's body bears big
splotches which Chief H. J. Harring-
ton. of the Roosevelt police, believes
are marks of the thrashing she re-
ceived at the hands of Mr.. Moukin.
The husband keeps strict guard and
no one Is allowed to enter the house
unless through the authority of the
law, according to reports, and it is
said that quiet burial was being
arranged. However, neighbors re-
ported that the woman had been
cruelty beaten about ten days ago,
and informed the chief that her
agonizing cries were hee-d for blocks
away.
The Roosevelt police chief notified
Coroner James ]. Flynn yesterday
afternoon and he Immediately con-
suited Prosecutor George s. Silzer,
who notified County Physician Car
roll to perform an autopsy. The
body will BE removed from the house
to the undertaking establishment of
Mr.. Engle for the examination.
DR.. J. j. Reason attended the
woman before she died and, 1t is said
believes that her death was due to
blood poison. If II is shown that
the blood poison developed following
the alleged thrashing, Moukin will
be arrested and probably charged
with manslaughter.

ST.PETER' 'SPLAN
ORNEW RECTORY
Rev. Mr.. Jones to Meet With
Vestry Tonight.

At meeting of the vestry of the
St. Peters Episcopal church to be
held tonight, 1t is expected that de-
finite measures will be taken In re-
gard to the sale of the rectory on
Rector street to be moved to another
location, and the erection of a new
home for the rector on the same site
as the present one.
1t was at first thought to- enlarge
and renovate the old rectory for
Rev. w. Northey Jones, of Williams
port, Pa, who will take charge of
the parish in September. 1t was
found, however, that to make all the
changes desired and put the building
in repair would post as much as the
erection of an entirely new and mod
ern residence. 1t was decided,
therefore, to offer the present build
ing for sale, it being the intention
of the vestry of a purchaser can be
secured who is willing to remove the
present rectory, believing that this
plan will result in more general sat
isfaction.
1t has been suggested that the pur-
chaser of the present building could
lease the lot facing Water street d.
rectly in the rear of the present loca-
tion and move it there, fix 1t up and
rent it to advantage.
Rev Mr.. Jones is expected to be
present at tonight's meeting of the
vestry to discuss the proposed plans.

Keyport, May 26.-The body of an
unidentified man, believed to have
been a sailor, was washed ashore at
the foot of Walnut street here this
morning. 1t was hauled in by Will
liam Sickle, and Is now at the NOR
tuary establishment of Harry S. Be-
die awaiting Identification 1t was at
first believed here that it was the
body of one of the victims of the tug
boat Aries, which sank near the
Great Beds light on April 10, but
when 1T became definitely known that
those two bodies had been recovered,
the investigation was directed over
another course.
The body appears to have been
that of an engineer. 1t was not de-
composed, indicating that 1t had
been in the water but short time,
but the face was marked. Indica-
tions were that the man had been
about forty years old, of stout build,
about five feet and eight inches tall
and having a light brown moustache
and light brown hair. The body was
clad in a blue shirt, blue striped over
alls, a dark coat and button shoes.
Mr.. Sickle discovered 1t in the wa
ter at the foot of Walnut street early
this morning. He pulled 1t ashore
and notified the authorities. Coro-
ner Harry C. Fay, of Red Bank, was
notified and announced that he
would make an investigation.

Underground Passages.

Special By United Press Wire.
Vera Cruz, Mexico, May 26:-That
the heart of Vera Cruz is a veritable
honeycomb has just been discovered
by the American forces occupying the
port. Subterranean passages have
been discovered connecting nearly
all the buildings within several
squares of the Plaza The bluejack-
cts under Admiral Fletcher discov-
. cred on the first day that the roofs
of the houses In the block were so
connected that snipers might be a
considerable distance away from the
spot from which the shots were fired
by the time the sailor boys entered
the house.
The discovery of the underground
passages supplementing the inter
roof communications explained why
the men from the ships were unable
to capture the snipers who fired on
them. During the two days of actual
- fighting and the several days of de-
sultory sniping thereafter, the blue
jackets and marines were frequently
mystified by the complete disappear
ance of the men they knew fired on
them, or else the sudden appearance
vi Luc uleH III SOlI6 OJllef HOuS6, uu-
armed, no weapons to be found and
smiling in friendly fashion, mean
while uttering whole volleys of
amigos
Early in the game 1t was discov-
cred that there were innumerable
passages from roof to roof, by which
the Mexicans could scurry away when
their sniping point of vantage was
discovered. Frequently when the
Americans discovered a roof from
which shots were being fired. they
would storm the house and search it.
Either they would find the place ut
terly deserted or they would find the
householder on the ground floor, not
a gun in sight. The discovery of the
tunnels today shed a great deal of
light on the escape of the snipers
and the failure of the Americans to
get them with the goods" 1t is
now obvious that once the Mexicans
knew their places Of concealment
were discovered, they scuttled away
over the roofs and through the sub
terranean passages and were in some
totally different house when the
Americans finally caught them.

Large Amount of Stock is De-
stroyed, Damage Being Es-
tImated at About 81 800; In
suranCe of 81 300 Carried.

Forty-eight families, many of
whom were in bed, were routed from
their apartments in the Rosett build
in about IL o'clock last night when
names destroyed the stock of dry
goods and clothing of l. Shapiro, at
4ol state street, and were only
thWarted from rayaging other parts
OF the building by the fireproof walls
and metal ceiling of the store. The
origin of the fire could not be ascer-
tanned. Mr.. Shapiro declares that
he had been to New York all day on
business and returned to find his
store In flames shortly after IL
O'Clock. The last person in the
building was Miss Ida Shapiro.
daughter of the proprietor, who
closed the place about ten minutes
before the sending in of the alarm.
The total damage estimated by the
fire chiefs Is 1900, 1000 for the
stock and $500 damage to the build
ing. Through the Ryan & Schloss
agency, Mr.. Shapiro declares he car
ried $500 insurance and that his

When the firemen arrived the

under the direction of Chief Woit-

of the flames. This was successfully
done, as the firemen's efforts were
aided by the heavy brick walls and
metal ceiling separating the store
from the rest of the building.
The flames were gotten under con-
troll within about one-half hour. No
other part OF the building except the
store was damaged, though dozens OF
tenants rushed from the big struc-
tu-e in their night clothes. Many of
the apartments filled with smoke,
which drove out the occupants. The
fire originated in the rear of the

Origin Of the Word VeIocipede.

Frank H. Vizetelly tells "The Story
OF the Wheel in the April st. Mich
olas. After describing the introduc-
ton of the celerifere and the dandy
horse, Mr.. Vizetelly says:
By this time the principle of balanc-
ing the wheel was understood, and the
task of developing the crude vehicle
of NJ de Sivrac was begun. 1t was not
long, however, before this machine
was replaced by another, or was, per-
haps, only renamed. During the French
revolution new form was introduced
under the name of velocifere; and it's
riders became known as velocipedes.
In the year 1903 one of these vehicles.
shown at the Luxembourg gardens in
Paris, was much used. Eight years
later another wheel of similar form
came into France, and gained popular
favor at the Gardens of the Tivoli: this
was the Draisine, named from it's in
ventor.
