BOATMAN IS SHOT IN
FRONT ST. SALOON.
John Hennessey of the Lehigh Valley Tug Ganoga is
in the City Hospital with a Bullet Through His
Pight Lung—Charles J. Hathaway Arrested
Charged with the Crime.
John Hennessey, of the Lehigh
1 Valley tugboat Ganoga, was shot in
. the right breast yesterday afternoon.
Charles J. Hathaway, chief engineer
on the same boat, is locked np.aceused
of doing the shooting. The bullet
went through Hennessey’s right lung
and is now somewhere in his back.
An effort will be made to remove it
today.
Tlie shooting occurred in Frit*
Speer’s saloon on Front street, about
4 o’clock. Officer William McDermott
1 heard the shot and ran into the Diace
as the bartender was coming out for
help. He found Hennessey on a
lounge in a side room where he had
been helped after the assault. Hath
way had fled from the saloon after
firing and gone to the boat which was
lying at Hall's dock. He had hidden
himself in the lower hold and was
found in his concealment b~ the
officer who immediately arrosted him.
The two men. together with a third
boatman, met outside of the saloon
and entered together. They called
for drinks and Hathaway ana the other
man are said to have drank theirs.
An argument started and Hennessey
struck Hntahway with his fist, it is
alleged. Without any warning accord
ing to statement made the man
jerked out a small thirty-two cali
bre revolver and shot. Hennessey fell
to tho floor. Ho was picked up and
taken to a side room.
Word was sent to police headquart
ers and Sergeant Dunham responded.
Officer McDermott returned with his
man. Hennessey identified him as
the one firing the shot.
The wounded man bled but little.
Dr. G. W. Fithian, who was called,
exnmined the wound'nnd had the man
t.nfepn £n tlip lincnihnl Win Ip hiu in.
jnry is very serious he may recover.
When the officer arrestea Hathway
he is said to hare admitted having
committed the deed. This morning
in court he refused to talk without
consulting a lawyer. He is held.
Bad blood has existed between the
principals for some time acoordiug to
the stories told. Hathaway was hired
during the marine strike on the Val-i
loy and considerable bad feeling has
been held against him beoanse he is
known as a non-union engineer.
Shortly after he was engaged, Hen
nessey was reduced from his position
as pilot to deckhand. For this he
claimed Hathaway was responsible and
the two have had several clashes.
The revolver was found this morn
, ing shorty before noon. It had five
chambers, one of whioh was empty.
Hathaway said he had thrown the
wenpon overboard. A search revealed
it beneath some coal in one of the
bunkers. The chief detective of the
Lehigh Valley railroad, O. Lyden,
; and Superintendent of Tugboats, John
T. Clark, visited Hathaway ii.|his oell
at noon. After carefully investigat
ing they found the case did not con
cern them, as it happaned off the
boat.
This afternoon it was stated that
the doctors did not think it advisable
to attempt to remove he bullet today.

Sorrowful.
A reception was tendered the mem

Mr. M. Goldman was toastmaster.

good things, served by pretty
young ladies in charge. A. Lippman
gave a very entertaining speech and
Louis Braines gave a few remarks
appertaining to Zionism nnd recited
the Hebrew National poems. A
phonograph was played during the
evening.
During the evening an incident
ocourred which was not very pleasant
for Nathan Roth. He told the story
himself, this morning. He said
everything was progressing nicely
when someone gave three cheers for
the newly elected treasurer, Philip
Slobodien, of Carteret. Whereupon
that man, Mr. Roth says, struck him
over the head with a beer glass.
Mr. Roth is confined to his bed
undeT Dr. James Stafford’s care today.
Mr. Roth has the broken glass with
which he was strnok.

Storm Kept Many Away from the
Church Services Yesterday
Temperance Addresses.
The temperance speakers who
appeared in five of the locnl pulpits
yesterday did not have very large
audiences in the morning. At night,
when the storm had ceased, the people
turned out nnd listened to the address
es with much interest.
Yesterday morning Rev. Dr. Got
wald spoke in the Baptist church and
Edmund| B. G.rhart spoke in Simp
son M. E. church. Roth congrega
tions wore comparatively small owing
to the storm. Last night Rev. Gilbert
P. Raynor spoke in the Presbyterian
church, Mr. Gerhart in the Danish
M. E. and Dr. Gotwald in the Swed-:
ish Congregational ohurch. These j
men represent the Auti-Saloon league
of this Slate. They explained their]
work in different parts of the State 1
yesterday. This organization is prac- ^
tically the only one that has accom
plished any results in the cause of
temperance. Their work in this city
will be backed by the Minister's Alli
ance and the Good Citizen's League.

CITY HOSPITAL IS
IN NEED OF $600.
A Morgue and a Reception Room Should be Built
at Once-Fund Started to Raise the Money
People are Called Upon to Contribute-Twen
ty-five Cents from Each Person.
At the meeting of the Board o(
Governors of the Hospital, Friday
night, it was pointed out that the
hospital is greatly in need of a recep
tion room for patients and a morgne
for dead bodies. At the present time
any sick person who may be foond on
the street and harried to the institu
tion has to be taken in where all the
other patients have been taken, before
it is definitely known whether or not
the disease is contagions. A recep
tion room is one that can be washed
and scrubbed from top to bottom and
thoroughly disinfected.
A morgne is needed as at present, it
waB stated, dead bodies occasionally
have to be placed in wards with the
sick. It is admitted that this is
wrong and it is np to the people of
Perth Amboy, whose relatives and
friends nae the hospital, to make the
necessary change*.
That the hoapital is a necessity in
Perth Amboy h*a been demonstrated
and it is np to tbe local people to
snpply its need*. There is no one
who will deny that * reception room
and morgne are abeolete necessities.
The loosl people, who tak* pride in
the institntion, should anpply them.
This is a chance to m*k* a Christmas
offering. It is stated that 9M0 will
build both. If over ti,000 can be
raised for a carnival fnud lor the
amusement of tne people it would
seem that $600 could be raised for
something so worthy. This is a mat
ter which touches the people them
selves and if everybody should give
twenty-five centB each, the money
could be raised. Let everyone give
what they can.
The Evening News lias secured the
sanction of the president, S. R. Far
rington, to raise such a fund and this
paoer starts off the list with a contri
bution of $10. Let others follow.
There is to be no begging. The cause
is too worthy to make it necessary
for a list to be passed. The call is
for a voluntary Christmas offering for
this need of the hospital. Send in
your contributions at onoe, any
amount will be gladly received and
all will be duly credited in the col
umns of the Evening NewB. Address
contributions to Hospital Fund, Even
