Died In Germunjy.
A cablegram has been received in this
city announcing the death In Ems, Ger
many, of Meyer Cahn of New York
city, father-in-law of Isadore Freed
man, of Mendel & FreedmAn. Mr. Cahn
had been abroad since May.
Mayer Kahn was one ' of the most
prominent real estate operators in the
city of New York. He died of an inter
nal hemorrhage. Mr. Kahn was born
in Germany about fifty-five years ago,
and came to the United States to make
his fortune, possessed of a fair common
school education, and with the Inten
tion of going into woollen manufactur
ing, being himself a weaver. He first
settled In Philadelphia, where he soon
demonstrated his capacity for work
and business, and having accumulated
a small sum of money, and believing
that New York was a proper field for
his energy, he moved to that city. He
very soon was struck by the oppor
tunities which he saw in profitable real
. siate i p. rations, and in the course of
a very short time he had made himsolf
generally known to ail real estate men
in the city of New York as one of the
most clear-headed, conservative, and
prudent of all the operators that have
ever dealt upon this market. Mr.
Kahn was notable for his extreme pru
dence and sagacity, never dealing be
yond his means, with always sufficient
eserve to protect himself and ready
to take a fair profit when he saw it.
He was a man who under the circum
stances manifetsed a very large spirit
of liberality and confidence in those
whom he knew and thought deserving
of his trust. In his operations, which
Involved millions of dollars, he was of
ten willing to take the words of others
where many would have insisted upon
the most strictly-constructed written
agreements. He was married in early
life to a daughter of Rabbi Loeb of this
city, and lived a most domestic and
apparently happy life, relying greatly
upon the counsel of his wife, who was
with him at the time of his death. He
leaves three married daughters and one
son. His remains are to be embalmed
and brought to New York for inter
ment. His will has not .yet been
opened.
Mr. Kahn, although occasionally
operating in unimproved property, was
a ' geat believer in Buying property
which would pay its way, and espe
cially property of the highest charac
ter, such as Fifth avenue and Broad
way property. Within a very short
period before his death, he had bought
and sold some of the most attractive
property, notably the property on the
southwest corner of Seventeenth street
and Broadway, the Everett House,
which belongs to his estate, the prop
erty adjoining Grace church, the prop
erty on the corner of Broadway and
Duane street, the property opposite
Forty-second street reservoir, etc., etc.
Mr. Kahn's reputation as a shrewd and
successful investor enabled him often
to make a quick sale, because other
operators had so much confidence In
his judgment that they felt certain that
what he bought could be easily sold.
He seemed to operate Prenerally with
very great rapidity, but those who
know him believe that he rarely made
a .purchase without having thoroughly
scrutinized every feature relating to It.
His presence will be missed by many
business men, accustomed to ask his
advice, which was always given in a
most unostentatious and pleasant man
ner. ' ' 1 '

Henry Watterson's Advice.
Louisville, Ky., July 13. The follow.
ing was received this morning by W.
D. Haldeman, president of the Courier
Journal company:
"Geneva, Switzerland, July 13. An
other ticket our only hope. No com
promise with dishonor. Stand firm.
"HENRY. WATTERSON."
BRYAN AND- SKWAIL COSWEH.
They Considered the New York Notifica
tion Proposul.
Chicago, July 13. Mr. Sewall has not
yet decided whether he -will Join Mr.
Bryan in the speechmaking feature of
the campaign. He says he can build
ships better than make speeches. He
added: "Whether or not I shall take
an active part in the campaign will
be settled by the executive committee.
As Senator Jones will take two or three
days to select this committee I am not
able to say whether I shall 'be making
speeches next month. We may make
a fight in Maine in the state campaign.
The election will be held there In Sep
tember, and that will give us an op
portunity of testing Maine sentiment.
Free sliver ' sentiment is growing In
Maine, and now is very strong. We
have a good fighting chance there.' I
have no doubt that the national head
quarters will be located in Chicago.
This in my opinion, and does not come
through any action of the committee
or conference with it. The west will
figure so largely in the campaign that
it seems to many that the contest
should be directed from thijs point."
Mr. Sewall found out yesterday that
to be a candidate for vice president is
not conducive to rest and retirement.
Sunday was his receiving day, and call
ers overran his time and his room at
the Palmer house whenever he was
there. Yesterday morning he found
time to meet in a room with Mr. Bryan
and Senator Jones, chairman of the
national committee. The door was
locked for a consultation. The three
men talked over the proposition , to
launch the campaign at New York by
having the candidates publicly notified
there of their choice as the party nomi
nees.
Mr. Sewall, Ersklne M. Phelps and
a few other friends went to the Audi
torium Annex for dinner. Later in the
afternoon the candidate for vice presi
dent had a1 few minutes to himself in
his room to look at his pictures in the
newspapers and read what was saia
about him.
To-dav he held a few more confer
ences with various committees and to
morrow will start for his home.

Responsibility for the Excursion Train
Wreck Near Chicago.
Chicago, July 13. After an Investiga
tion of the circumstances of last even
ing's wreck of a Wisconsin Central pic
nic train on the Chicago and Northern
Pacific tracks near Altenheim, causing
the death of five persons and serious
injuries to a number of others, the po
lice arrested James Gram, engineer of
the excursion train; William Dolan,
fireman on same engine; Mike O'Don
nell, engineer of the switch engine
drawing the freight train; James Mee
han, his fireman, same engine; James
Kniskern, the operator, charged with
causing the disaster. s
The chief blame for. the accident is
laid upon Kniskern, who, it is charged,
carelessly walked away without throw
ing back the switch so that the picnic
train could pass on the main track,
Gram was the engineer of the passen
ger engine. Dolan, his fireman, receiv
ed no injury. Michael O'Donnell, the
engineer of one of the freight engines,
was in the cab with Meehan at the
time of the collision and leaped early
enough to escape serious injury.
