RUSSELL SAGE m
AT RIPE OLD AGE
Veteran Financier and 8tock Specu
lator Would Have Celebrated His
Ninetieth Birthday on August
4th Next.
New York. Itussell Sago dlod sud
denly Sunday nt his country homo,
"Ccdarcroft," nt Lawrence, U I. Tho
Immediate cause of death was henrt
failure, resulting from n complication
of diseases Incident to old age. Tho
voteran financier would have celc
limtcil his ninetieth birthday on Aug.
4. Mr. Sago had boon In excoptlon
nlly good health slnco his nrrlvnl nt
his summer homo, about six months
rigo. At noon Sunday he was seized
with a sinking spell and collapsed,
falling Into unconsciousness about
two hours before his death, which oc
curred at 4:30 o'clock.
Itussell Sago, multl-mlllionalro and
Nestor of American financiers, was
born on Aug. 4, 1816, Jn Verona, Onei
da county, New York, whero his par
ants, Eliza and Pendnnco Sago, mem
bors of a little company of pioneers
from Connecticut, had halted while
on their westward march In quest of
a homestead. At the age of 12 Rus
sell Sago began his career as errand
boy in tho grocery storo of his broth
er, Henry, In Troy. At the age of 22
ho established a wholesale grocery of
his own In that place. In 1857 tho
young merchant had accumulated a
fortune of about half a million a
great sum In those days and began
to rotlre from nctlve business. Ho
hud already become Interested In
railways, his first transaction of this
character being a loan to tho Lacrosse
Railroad company, which led to fur
ther transactions, resulting In his ac
quiring largo Interests In the roads
now forming the Chlongo, Milwaukee
& St. Paul system, of which ho bo
came vice president. This deter
mined Mr. Sago to dovote his time to
Wall street, nnd In 1866 ho openod
hla offlco. About that tlmo he formed
nn association with Jay Gould, which
continued soveral years. In 18C7 ho
originated tho present method in
"puts," "calls" nnd straddles," in
which he dealt later on a colossal
scale. When ho purchased n seat on
tho Now York stock exchange In 1871
it provided that he never appear on
tho floor ot tho exchange.
Only once, It Is Bald, did Mr. Sago
experience a tramandouti loss, which
would hnro shaken another man, but
from which ho emerged with confi
dence unshaken, l-'rom that mentor
nble day In 1884 when tho great fnll
ure of Grant & Ward wbh nnnouncod,
resulting In tho loss to Mr. Sago of
about $0,000,000 on a long lino 61
"puts," his operations necessitated tin
possession or a vast amount of road;
japltal, nnd Mr. Sage always kept hit
resourcos bo well In hnnd Hint In any
emergency ho wbb ublo to control nl
most llmltloss funds.
At the time of death Mr. Sago was
nn ofllcer and director In twenty-live

Edward Callahan, respectively Dome I
cratlc county Judge and sheriff, to I
c-UBt them from thclr-ofllccs on an al- I

Us Jett and Tom White were convict
ed and given life terms for the mur

fessea that no shot Marcum and that
hit act was inspired by Callahan and
