Incendiary Fire In New York Endan

Badly Burned and Taken to the Hos

Now York, July 3.—Twenty-one per
sons were rescued by firemen from n
blazing lour story frame building Id
Newark avenue, Jersey City, at day
break.
The blaze was so hot that the fire-
ment could not work fast enough with
their ladders and several of the res
cued were tossed safely Into -the life
nets. Two of the vi^lms are In the
hospital suffering front burns and the
inhalation of fire. The fire, the police
say, was of incendiary origin. It
caused only a small money loss.
ARDSLEY, N. Y., EXCITED.
Another Sensation Closely Follows the
Hefferman Murder Mystery.
Ardaley-on-the-Hudson, N. Y., July
3.—-Following so closely the unravel
ed Hefferman murder mystery, consid
erable excitement lias been caused
here by the attempted suicide of a well
dressed firangor who jumped off the
-private dock In front of the Ards-
ley club Into the Hudson river, and
who was rescued in an unconscious
condition by employes of -the club.
The stranger was seen walking in
front of the club’s station, near the
epot where John Hefferman, the coach
man, was murdered on May 29. The
man seemed excited and suddenly
rushed across the railroad tracks to
tho club's dock.
A rope was thrown to tho man by
club employes, but ho made no ef
fort to seize it. Then one of them
jumped In and held tho man's head
above water until his companion could
throw a rope to him. Ho was dragged
to the dock, unconscious, and later re
moved to the Dobbs Ferry hospital.
No trace of the man’s identity has
been discovered. At the club mys
tery was thrown around -the affair.
The shooting of Hefferman gave
rise to many peculiar stories, some of
which Involved well known persons.
None of them ever was confirmed,
however, and efforts to solve the case
were practically abandoned some time
ago.
FLED TO ESCAPE EXILE.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that It is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin-
_ ales too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold
by druggists, in fifty-
cent and one dollar
sizes. You may have a

NOT SUIGIDE AND
MAY BE MURDER
Inquest Increased Mystery of
Johnson’s Strange Death.
MYSTERIOUS BALTIMORE AFFAIR.
Remarkable Verdict of Jury—Father's
Relations with Mrs. Suter Caused
Bitter Quarrels With Son—Sister
Names Woman, but Has No Proof.
Baltimore, July 4.—'After an all-day
session the coroner’s jury investigat
ing the mysterious death of J. Mor
timer Johnson, the young man who
was found dead in his room In the
house of his father, ex-Councilman
Johnson, brought in a most remarkable
verdict which deepens the mystery ol
one of the strangest affairs that Bal
timore has known.
The most Important feature of the
verdict is the practical rejection ol
the suicide explanation which was
given out at the house when the young
man s death was made public. This
Is tne verdict;
That said J. Mortimer Johnson
came to his death from two pistol
shots fired Into his head from pistols
of different caliber, by the hands ol
some person or persons unknown to
the Jury, which took place on June
23, between the hours of 8 o’clock
p. m. and 8 o’clock a. m„ on June
24, 1903, at No. 1403 Hollins street.
We further believe that the evidence
is not sufficient to say suicide, and it
may he murder.”
The most important evidence was
that given by Mrs. Lady Durette, ol
Fairmont, W. Va., a sister of the dead
man, who Is a physician and a woman
of unusual keeness. She has been
doing better detective work on the
case than the policemen assigned’ to It
When she was asked if he had any
theory as to who had killed her broth
er, tho replied that if It were not
for tear of a damage suit lu which
she would not be able to substantiate
her statements by evidence, she would
name a woman as responsible for his
death.
She told the jury she had found
scratches and finger marks on her
brother’s face, which was sonslderably
scarred.
It transpired that young Johnson
was engaged to be married and that
he whs ashamed to bring his fiancee
to his father’s house because of the
latter's association with a woman
who vlsted the house frequently and
who was much at home there. This
situation resulted in bitter quarrels
between the father and son. A man
servant employed In the Johnson
house has ben closely questioned by
the police, but the sweating process
has brought nothing of importance
from him.
Dui;ng tho inquest Miss Viola
Stambaugh, a relative of the Johnsons,
and w ho kept house for the ex-Councll
man until a short time ago, when she
went to live with Mrs. Durette, told
of lively times in the Johnson house
She said that Mrs. Suter was a con
etant visitor and that she and the
elder Johnson spent much of their time
together drinking. At times they
quarreled bitterly and *]>e had seen
Mr. Johnson throw articles at Mrs
Suter cn one occasion.
The verdict of the Jury has prac
tically disposed of the suicide expla
nation, which was at first generally
accepted until certain suspicious facts
developed. It was explainer! that
while the whole jury believed that
young Johnson was murdered, some
objectea to so declare in the verdict
because of a lack of direct evidence,
which accounts for the compromise is
the last sentence.
