NEW JERSEY

A truckman named Blake accidentally fell
into the Passaic River, at Newark, yesterday, while
intoxicated, and narrowly escaped drowning. He was
rescued alive, but up to a late hour in the evening had
not recovered consciousness.

Mrs. Emmeline McGibbon, her daughter Rosalie McGibbon,
and Miss Josephine Rochette made complaint yesterday that
Samuel Derrickson, a lawyer of Hoboken, had attempted to
commit an an outrage upon each of them. A warrent was issued
for his arrest.

Joseph Dugi, an Italian, aged thirty five years,
was run over and instantly killed at the Market
Street Depot, in Newark, yesterday. He had just
left a New York train, with a load of bananas on
his back, and was struck by an incoming Phila-
delphia train. The flagman called to him, but the
Italian evidently did not understand. County
Physician Dodd ordered Coroner Munn to hold an
inquest. Dugi kept a fruit stand in the basement
of No. 844 Broad Street, and leaves a wife and two
children.

James Little, residing at No. 68 Hoyt Street, Newark
attempted to commit suiside Tuesday night by cutting
his throat with a pocket knife. He was attended by Dr.
Hewlett, who bandaged the wound, and after that he was
taken to the First Precinct Station-house. Yesterday mo-
rning he became excited and tore the bandages off his
neck, causing the wound to reopen. He was again bandaged
and taken to the hospital. The young man's father says he
is subject to epileptic fits, and it is supposed that while suff-
ering in one of these he committed the rash act.

The little daughter, of Thomas Sheehan, residing in Fairmont
Ave. Jersey City Heights, was run over by a wagon yesterday,
and sustained probably fatal injuries. George Suydam, the driver
of the wagon, went to the Fourth Precinct Stationhouse and deli-
vered himself up.

A littl;e girl named Annie Lake, aged twelve years, caused the arrest
yesterday of Matthew Campbell, on a charge of assault and battery and
attempted outrage. The girl was at the abattoir in Jersey City, selling
packages of popcorn, and asked Campbell to give her a ride on his truck.
He consented, and took her to a car from which he was unloading hay.
He induced her to go into the car and then assaulted her. Her cries
attracted the attention of a man named Cassedy, upon whose approach
Campbell released her. Campbell was committed for trial.

Yesterday morning a boy named Patrick Kelly, residing in New York,
while swimming at the Pennsylvania Railroad Dock in Jersey City,
dived off the end of the pier, and remained under water so long the one
of his companions, named John Rabyne, went down after him. Rabyne
succeeded in bringing Kelly to the surface, but when he was taken on
the dock it was discovered that he was paralized and perfectly helpless.
It is supposed that his head struck on a sunken apile. He was taken to
Jersey City Hospital, where he still remains, unconscious.


THE JERSEY CITY SCANDAL

The excitment in reference to the death of Miss Mary E. Pomeroy
has not abated. Her antemortem deposition gains universal credence,
and her seducer is bitterly denounced in all quarters. Mrs. Miller,
the girls aunt and the lady with whom she lived says that shortly
before her death Miss Pomeroy confided to her and her husband the
followoing statement: One night after I found I was in trouble, and
after the matter had all been talked over between Mr. Glendenning
and myself, and he had assured me that everything would be made
right, meaning, I supposed, that he would marry me. Mr. Glendenning
came into the parlor. I was seated by the door. He approached the table,
and after a few pleasant words had passed between us he said to me:
Mary, have you a pen and ink? I want you to write something for me.
You know what a scrape I am in, and I want you to shield me, for if this
thing goes out I am a ruined man.
Then he began to dictate something to me to write, and I refused to do
it, because it was false. He then drew a revolver from his pocket and
told me I must write it. I was very much frightened, and all seemed dark
and blank to me. I wrote whatever he told me, but what it was I can not tell
except that it was something to shield him and set him right before the public
and the church. I signed my name to the paper, and it is now in his possess-
ion I suppose. The paper alluded to his supposed to be the evidence upon
which Glendenning mainly relied for his defence. Mrs. Miller also says that
he was in the habit of calling upon Miss Pomeroy three or four times a week
and remaining until the small hours of the morning. Upon leaving he was in
the habit of kissing Miss Pomeroy and calling her his little wife.
The funeral of the unfortunate girl will take place this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Her brother who resides in Michigan, has been telegraphed for, and is expected
to arrive today.
