Robber-d, rector of 882 to 1887, was found dying on the g’Weat Shore‘raiiroad tracks near Little Terry, N. J. . about ii o‘clock yesterday 'lnorning. A section foreman. who had been notified from the main office at iVWeobswken that the body of a man was lying' between the main tracks at Little ‘Ferry junction, immediately started down the read on a hadd-car. accompa tried by three or four men. 7 The body lay a few feet from the out: side rail of a side track, fifty feet east of . '. the main track. It was lying on the back, with its uncovered head toward the ' south. A golfing cap was lyingai’ew feet'aws‘y from the body. Neither blood nor marks of violence were visible. As the men were lifting the bodyto the car the men grosned feebly and slowly opened his eyes. The expression of the eyes indicated that the man un- so was unable to speak. The car was . wheeled back to Little Ferry and the man placed on a train which left there at 6:07 o‘clock for New York city. reach- ing there at 6:80. Arriving in NewYork. a hurry call was sent to Roosevelt Hospital. and an ambu- lance responded. A hasty examination by the surgeon disclosed a scalp wound on the crown of the heed about the size of atwenty-ilve cent piece and a broken or dislocated shoulder. The doctor did everything possible to restore the man to [conscionsucsm but he died in about half an hour after he was carried intothe Forty-second street ferry house. The body was removed to the West Forty-seventh street station and there from papers found.it was learned that the man was the Rev. George P. Eehhard The address engraved on some visiting cards was 477 Hudson stgeet. A heavy gold hand ring which the man were was ensmelled on the outside with a cross and crown, and on the inside was the following engraving: .................................................

No money was found.

Hebbsrd. The vallse and hat were sent to the company's gsn’craloiiicealu Franklin street. The finding of these article clears up in a .’ measure the mystery of Mr. Hebbsrd's Mill. Ir.

Shortly before going on his summer vs- cation he accepted acsll to St. Stephen’s Episcopal church in West Forty-sixth street He was considered s more than ordinarily eitquent preacher, and was very popular. ' He was heavily built. with dark hair and dark eyes and a smooth face.

He was coming to New York. he said, to make arrangements for the removal of his furniture at the rectory of St. Luke‘s chapel at 477 Hudson street. to Cragemoor. Mr. Collett and Mr. Hebbard had made the journey be- tween Eilenville and Weehawkena num- ber of times, and It had been their habit to remain in the smoking car until a short distance from Weehawken. when they went to the baggage car for their belongings.

The excursion to Glen Island. yester- day. under the auspices of the South Norwalk ' and East Norwalk Sunday schools. was a success—in fact.too much of a cess-in that the steamer was too small to carry all who wished to participate in it, as fully fifteen hundred wanted to go and live hundred or more of them had to be left behind. or these three hundred went by railroad. The committee having the excursion in charge was informed that the steamer was licensed to carry twelve hundred. and issued tickets accordingly. 0! these three hundred were given to the scholars of the schools. and the others sold. The chief regret of the committee is that some of the children were crowded oil the boat.though it was not their fault. for bad they been properly informed all could have gone. 0n the return from the island. the steamer was obliged to leave at 3:30 to prevent overcrowding. Arrangements were made. however. to have the Fav- orite bring up the rest. which she did. Those who look the train had a very sorry experience in getting from New Rochelle lo the island. as the horse rall- wsy between these points is the most rattle trap affair imaginable. The track. cars and horses arc of the meat abom- inable character. and entirely loade- quale to the demands. However. notwithstanding all these discomforls. the day was perfect. the island never more beautiful. and no so- cldsntoccurrsd. STRUCI A TELEGRAPH POLE.
