EVENTS OF THE DAY.
Death of TVm. H. Vanderbilt.
William H. Vanderbilt, the railroad king
of the United States, and probably the
richest man in DIE world, died suddenly at
2:30 p. m., the 8th, while in conversation in
his own home with Robert Garrett, presi­
dent of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
Mr. Vanderbilt, as usual, rose about 7 in
the morning, and after partaking of a
hearty breakfast, held his regular business
conference with his sons William and Cor­
nelius, and his private secretary, to whom
was intrusted
most
of
Mr. Vanderbilt
of
jun20
~his business. At this
conference he manifested more than his
usual activity and alertness, and gene­
rally appeared in excellent spirits and
health. After this he went to the studio of
J. Q. A. Ward, to sit for a bronze bust of
himself. Returning to his home he took
lunch at 12:30 with his wife, son George and
son-in-law, Mr. Twombley, with the latter
of whom he had arranged for an afternoon
ride. The ride however, was postponed by
a business call of President Garrett of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, who arrived at
the house at 1 p. m. A long and animated
conversation followed upon rail­
road and other matters in which
both were interested drifting finally
into incidents of Mr. Vanderbilt's life.
While thus engaged Mr. Vanderbilt's
voice suddenly failed him, and he
fell heavily to the floor face downward,
dead. Assistance was promptly summoned
and restoratives were applied, but he was
beyond human aid, the physician pro­
nouncing the cause of his death paralysis,
caused by the bursting of a blood vessel at
the base of the brain.
was the
oldest son of
Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, and was
born at New Brunswick, N. J., in 1821.
He received an excellent practical
education, and in early life he engaged in
various pursuits, including farming, and
later becoming interested in several rail­
road enterprises, until at the death of his
father, when he became the possessor of
great wealth, by the aid of which and his
acknowledged ability, he rapidly rose to be
a master factor in railroad and financial
affairs of the country. He leaves four sons,
Cornelius, William K., Fred and George
and three daughters, all married and with
children of their own. All the sons and
sons-in-law are said to be industrious and
with a taste for business, though with the
exception of William K., no one of them
has yet made any very deep impression
the business world. Both William K. and
Cornelius have been closely identified with
Mr. Vanderbilt's railroad business for sev­
eral years past. His wealth is estimated
as at
least $200,000,000 largely in govern­
ment bonds and railroad securities. His
funeral will take place Friday.
Vanderbilt's Will.
The will of the late WM. H. Vanderbilt
was filed
Saturday, the 12th. It bequeaths
$10,000,000 to each of his eight children,
to­
gether with certain specified real estate to
to his wife the homestead, the furniture,
statuary,paintings, etc.,and an annuity
of
$200,000 per annum during her life, all his
other property, consisting principally of
railroad stocks going TO his two eldest sons
Cornelius and William K. Then there are
small legatees to a number of distant rela­
tives, and about $1,000,000 to various chari­
table, educational and reformatory insti­
tutions.
Vanderbilt Burled.
The remains of William H. Vanderbilt,
the dead money and railroad magnate were
consigned to mother earth the morning of
the 11th. The ceremonies were sim­
ple and without ostentation, Rev. Dr.

ducting the services. The remains were

Reminiscences of Cardinal McCloskey,
His Eminence often said it was sad
to have outlived his generation that
his contemporaries having passed
away, he felt-lonely and alone, "like an
old man among young men," there be­
ing none now livnig who took part with
him in the events of his life and times.
He was simple and unostentatious in
his habits, shrinking from everything
that borded on vanity or pride. The
trait was well illustrated some years
ago, on the occasion when some
wealthy friends presented him with a
coach and horses. While he thanked
the gentlemen for their kindness and
liberality, he felt constrained to say
"that he had no taste or inclination
for such grandeur or display that it
might gratify the vanity of his succes­
sors, but it had no attraction for him."
In the same manner, when some one
had apologized because of the delay in
getting the new Madison avenue
mansion ready, he said "there was no
need to be in a hurry that he was well
provided for, and he wanted no better
house than the humble home which he
then occupied."
He was a distinguished and impres­
sive speaker, and in this respect he
had no superior in the diocese. He
was rich in mental resources, and re­
markable for originality and versatility.
I'here were excellent opportunities to
judge of him in this regard when he
visited the colleges during their
annual commencements, which he did
regularly every year. He always had
a beautiful short speech of congratula­
tion, thanks, and encouragement, bat
never once repeated himself. He was
fond of a joke, and sometimes made
one himself. Having been once asked
permission by a clerical student in
examination to read his paper in
English, he answered, "Yes no doubt
you will be much better understood."
When about ten years of age his
father had a farm in Duchess county.
One day, while a yoke of oxen stood
yoked to a lumber wagon, he tried to
drive them, got off the road, went
against a stump, and upset the lumber
on top. of himself. He was taken up
for dead. This was the cause of much

Squirrel Migration.
"I have been very much interested
lately in reading about migration of
the squirrels," remarked Mr. Isaac N.
LaBoiteaux.
"I didn't know that squirrels ever
migrated?" said the newsman, inter­
rogatively.
"Yes, they do. They don't migrate
annually like the birds, but they
change their place of residence at long
periods. There are great numbers of
squirrels round my place on College
Hill, and this fall I noticed they were
not to be seen. Usually at this season
of the year the squirrels are busy
gathering nnt«, and the woods are
noisy with their short, sharp barks,
bnt now none of them are to oe found
or heard. Some time ago I predicted a
squirrel migration, and now I find that
I was a true prophet. I read in the
papers that thousands of them are
crossing the Mississippi from east to
west. I remember when I was a boy
of a squirrel migration from west to
east. I saw thousands of the little
animals swimming the Great Miami.
They swim with their tails out of water,
and if by any mischance a squirrel gets
his tail wet he is helpless. At this
time, recollect, boys stood on the
bank of the river, ana when the squir­
rels came near they would knock their
tails into the water. Then it was an
easy matter to wade in and catch
them."—Cincinnati Times.

Kind Mrs. Fonder.
An old gentleman by the name of
Ryckman and his wife moved into the
vicinity of the Tender mansion. Mrs.
Fender, who is very neighborly, bake*!
a nice cake and took it over to the ne
arrivals.
"I have brought over some cake for
Mr. Ryckman's children," said Mrs.
Fender.
"But we have never had any chil­
dren," said Mrs. Ryckman.
"Well, then, give it to your grand­
children," said Mrs. Fender: "It
must make them feel sad naver to havo
bad any parents.—Texas
