Yo \ Gap." \ S THE WORLD: WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 6, 1903, WAKE FOR SLAIN MIAN. It Ils a Tragedy of Cherry Hill, Where Revenge for the Killing of Tommy McMahon Will Be Worked Out in East Side Fashion PADDY SHEA NOT CAUGHT. He Has Not Been Back Long from the Island, and Crime in the Hamilton Street “Gap” Quickly Followed His Release. In Yhe iittle parlor on the second oor of the tenement, No. 11 Hamilton street, the friends of Tommy Mc- Mahon will gather to-night and “wake” the body. McMahon was killed yesterday by Paddy Shea and to-day the killing 4s the talk of Cherry Hill. Friends of Paddy are rushing the growler, kicking about the size of the pint, and hoping that Paddy, who has thus far escaped the police, will live long and die happy. Friends of McMahon are not aiding the police to find Shea, Cherry Hill has ite own way of setling its troubles. Some fine morning Paddy may be found in the backyard of a tenement or in the rear of a saloon with his head crushed, and the verdict of the Coron- er's Jury may be that he fell down a fight of stairs. If he !s caught, In- dicted and placed on trial it 1s doubtful if the police could obtain any witnesses to tell how he killed MoMahon. On the other hand, friends of Paddy would come forward and swear he was attacked by McMahon and killed him {n self-defense. It is a violation of the ethics of Cherry Hill to ald the police to swear against a man at a trial or to admit having seen anybody do any- thing. Known as “The Gap.” Hamilton street, where the killing oc- SUICIDE FROM A FERRY-GOAT. Unknown Man Plunged from Deck Into the North River in, Sight of a Crowd of New Jer-| sey Commuters. EVADED THE PASSENGERS. 4 Then There Was a Sudden Leap from the Rear Rail, and Efforts of “Those on Board to Rescue the Man Were Futile. While the ferry-boat Montclair, of the! D., L. and W. Railroad, was in mid- stream to-day on her trip from Hoo- ken to Christopher street a well-dressed man leaped from the deck and was drowned, The boat was filled with commuters The man who jumped waited until most of the passengers had gone inside the cabin or to the bow of the ferryboat. A deckhand polishing a rail was near him on one side and the man moved’ over to the women’s diviston. As soon as no one was near him he climbed over the iror, gate at the stern and before any one had a chance to follow him he Jumed and was in the river. For an instant his body was seen buffeted by the waves. ho cry of “Man overboard!" drew the crow to the stern, and a lite line and ring were thrown over in the hope the man would gragp it. It did not get near him. From the pilot house the captain saw the man and heard the commotion. The boat was turned from her course for a few minutes and an effort made to res- cue the man. The deckhands put a boat the water, but before they got into Lhe man, who had sunk, reappeared again for ‘an instant and then went down for the last tlme. The man was about thirty-five years 3 100" pounds and was not more than 5 feet 8 inches high,, The deckhands, who Know.most of the commuters, were cer- tain that while they had seen the man many times before he was not a rej Ulat commuter. Some said they thougiit they had seen him on one of the ac- commouation trains which arrived this curred, js a narrow alley. To the police and the neighborhood it Is known as “The Gap." It begins at Catharine street, a block from the river front, and Tuns north about a hundred yards. On both sides are tenements, and to avoid compelling the dweller within ‘The Gap" to walk a block for a pint, ac- commodating brewers have established a saloon or two in the middle af the block. It was in ‘The Gap’ in the early days of Roosevelt and the dry Sundays that followed his decree for a closed village that beer was trolleyed across ‘The Gap" on clothes-lines. This much for the color that goes with a story of “The It was in ‘the Gap" that McMahon and his bride of a little more than a year lived. McMahon was sltght, but well knit, He lived with his mother and father-in-law in No. 11, When he worked he drove a truck. Paddy Shea lived with his mother In No, 31. When Paddy was elsewhere the neighborhoo | knew that he was doing a stretch on’ the Island. It might be for kicking in the ribs of a drunken longshoreman or stealing a piece of lead pipo from a wagon near the Catharine Ferry slip. Not Long Out of Jail, Paddy got out of jail a few weeks ago, He hed a Icng siege of it wheel- ing sand on the Island for a new wing that is being built on one of the hos- pitals, and |t was right’ when he got through with his sentence he should come home to mother and his two sis- ters to’be iaken care of and to recup- erate from the hardships of the East River resort. “L wouldn't like to speak hard of any one,” sald the mott who was killed. say against Paddy. no word t Us tor others to speak harsh of a man.

Uh, Mrs. Sheehan saw St all, ‘That's all there 1s| to it. Poor Willie! He was only twen- ty years old.” The widow of young McMahon was teartul, She had spent the greater part of the night endeavoring to get the Coroner to gtve permission for the body to be removed from the morgue and ar- ranging for bringing it home, Mis.

Kidney-Wort Tablets Cure Without Alcohol. Physicians wash their hands of pa- tients h kidney troubles who insist on taking alcohol either as a drink or in liquid prepared kidney remedies. That alcohol is an ingredient of liquid) kidney remedies is well known to every one who handles these goods. If your druggist will not tell you, your physi- clan will, And he will also tell you that there is! but one entirely safe and at the same| time effective prepared remedy for the} Kidneys, whether they are slightly de- range ously atfected—Dr. Pettin- gill's Kidney-Wort Tablets, a marvellous- ly effective remedy, indorsed by all Physicians, used in children's hospitals and dispensaries for adults, and always with wonderful success. Many a man apparently in perfect health suddenly feels an unaccountable general weakness. He finds he cannot stand or walk as well as formerly. His feet and legs get sore and tender; they puff up during the day, and in the even- ing it becomes a great relief to rest them| on a table as high as his head. Ina short time this swelling becomes perma- nent and extends over his abdomen. He begins to get distressed, which increases from dey to day. He cannot breathe as freely as formerly. He loses his appe- tite. Meanwhile he has noticed that his urine has changed in appearance; that it is dark in color, heavier, has much sedi- ment, passes much more than formerly. It begins to distress him every time he makes urine. Painful as those warning symptoms are, do not for a moment for- get that they are forerunners of worse agonies to come—tortures which will follow, as surely as night follows day, unless the warning is heeded. Dr. Pettingill’s Kidney-Wort, now pos- sible to obtain in its new and most ef- fective form of handy tablets, will cure ery form of kidney disorder from a common backache to diabetes. At the first backache examine your urine for cloudiness, reddish deposits and small particles floating upon it. At the earliest sign of kidney weakness use Kidney-Wort Tablets. Only the very ignorant and the badly misinformed are willing to risk taking any liquid kidney remedy.
