W. 1’. ST. JOHN DEAD.
lie Was Treasurer of the Democratic Na-
tional Committee Last Year.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—William P. St.
John, the banker who was prominently
identified with the silver movement in the
recent election, and who was formerly
" president of the Mercantile National bank,
died at his home, 121 East Thirty-fourth
street. He had not been in good health
for some time. The news of Mr. St. John’s
death was confirmed at the Mercantile Na-
tional bank.‘
Mr. St. John’s death occurred at 8
o’clock, after he had been unconscious sev-
eral hours, and was due to a complication
_ of kidney and stomach troubles, from
WILLIAM P. ST. JOHN.
which he had been a sufferer for along
time. He was so broken down in health
by his arduous work during the presiden-
tial campaign that early in December, on
the advice of his physician, he went south,
hoping that the rest and change of air
might benefit him. He Obtained no relief
from his trip, and early in January he re-
turned to his home in this city weaker and
more feeble than when he went away.
After his return he was confined constant-
ly to his bed until his death.
When Mr. St. John became identified
with the Der cratic national party last
summer and was elected treasurer, he re-
signed the presidency of the Mercantile Na-
tional bank. Recently he was dropped as
a director by more than one bank and
since then Worried much, and it is believed
that his ' poor health can be attributed to
this.
Mr. St. John was born in Mobile on
Feb. 19, 1849. He received his education
in Mobile, Germany, England and Massa-
chusetts. In 1867 he came to New York,
and during his life he engaged in seven
kinds of business. He was for fougyears
prior to his connection with the Mercan-
tile bank in charge of credits, sales and
prices for Havemcyer & Elder, the sugar
refiners. This firm was subsequently
taken into the American Sugar Refining
company. or, as it is commonly called, the
. Sugar trust. Mr. St. John entered the
, Mercantile bank as cashier in January.
1881. He was engaged for this post by
George W. Perkins, who at the same time
left his place as cashier of the Hanover"
3 National bank to become president of the
Mercantile. When Mr. Perkins died, two
i years later, Mr. St. John succeeded to the
’ presidency.
‘ Mr. St. John was a large stockholder in
i the Mercantile bank. He was a director
. of the Hamilton National bank in Harlem
and the Second National bank. He was
, an elder in the Rev. Dr.- Parkhurst’s
1 church. Mr. St.“’John was well known in
? southern society circles, and was a warm
friend of Mrs. Jefferson Davis and her
daughter, Miss Winnie Davis. Consider-
able attention was attracted to his resigna-
tion from the Southern society a few years
ago. He was unmarried. He was tall and
well built, had a brown beard land brown
hair slightly tinged with gray, and he
dressed carefully. ..
Mr. St. John had not always been a free
chamber of commerce. When he was put
on this committee, he was for gold, but
his views subsequently changed and he
made minority reports in favor of silver.
He was finally dropped from the commit-
tcc. He was entitled to a place on the
clearing house committee of the Associated
Banks of New York, but he was left Off
because of his predilection for silver. Mr.
St. John strongly opposed the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchase law and appeared
before the congressional committee in
Washington which had the subject in
hand.

WHAT ABMOB. PLATE COSTS.
Comment of the President of the Carnegie
Company on the Lorlmer Bill.
PITTSBqRG, Feb. 17.—Speaking of the
bill introduced in congress by Bepresentaé
tive Lorimer of Illinois authorizing the
secretary of the navy to make contracts
fer armor plate for war vessels for a period
of '20 years at a rate not exceeding $240 per
ton, President Leishman of .the Carnegie
company, which is now supplying the
government at a cost of more than $500
per ton, said today: “No alarm is felt over
the introduction of the bill by the Carnegie
Steel company. The idea of the govern-
ment’s requiring any concern to make ar-
mor plate suitable for warships at $240
per ton or of any company’s being able to
accept such a proposition is absurd. Any
concern that cares to go into the manu-
facture of armor plate is certainly at liber-
ty to do so, but it cannot make an article
that will satisfy the requirements of the
government at the price mentioned. A
house can be erected for $500, but a. man-
sion'will cost $50, 000. So it is with armor
plate. We can make it for $240 per ton,
but it would not be the armor plate that
the government would want, nor would it
answer the purpose for war vessels. For
that reason it is absurd for the government
to try to fix one price.”
A Difl‘erent Story This.
CHICAGO, Feb. 17‘. —Vice President
Charles H. Foote of the Illinois Steel com-
pany says that if Congressman Lorimer’s
bill becomes a law and the Illinois Steel
company were successful in getting a 20
year contract from the United States gov-
ernment the company would at once enter
upon the construction of a 33, 500,000 plant
and v.'L..z:.l have it ready for the turning
out. of armor plate within a year. Such a
1.;ant would give employment to between
2,000 and 2,500 men. -

PENN YAN, N. Y., Feb. 15.—.~'\ week
ago Miss Mattie Harris went to a dentistls
office, and after he had worked on her
teeth the girl suddenly fainted or went in-
to a hysterical state. Restoratives were
administered, and she recovered sufficient-
ly to be moved home. A week has now
passed and she is no better, and at times
she is unconscious and her body is in a
rigid state for several minutes. For two
or three days her eyes have been closed,
and she has not power enough to open
them. The case baffles all the local physi-
cians.
