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.

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.
