I 610. M. PULLMAN DEAD
Millionaire Palacc Gar Man Sud-
denly Expires in Chicago.
HEART DISEASE THE CAUSE
A Man Who from 3 Salary of Forty Dol-
lar a Year Amassed Millions—A Native
of Chautauqua County, New York—His
Eventful Career.
Chicago, Oct. 20.—All the stocks in
which George M. Pullman was infir-
mately interested were depressed sev-
eral points when the news of his sud-
den death yesterday became known on
the exchanges.
No one was present when the palace
car magnate passed away. It was not
even known he was ill.
There is some mystery as to the
cause of his death.
It is supposed that he was stricken
either by heart disease or apoplexy.
Mr. Pullman retired to his room at
the usual hour at night, not complain—
ing of any ailment.
Rev. Dr. Eaton of New York city,
who was staying at the ‘home of Mr.
Pullman heard him moving at 4.50 in the
morning. Going to Mr. Pullman’s room
he found him dead.
Dr. Billings was called in the hope of
restoring consciousness, but it was of
no avail.
Begun Life with $50.
George M. Pullman began life with
$50, and ended it with a fortune esti-
mated at $50,000,000. He made the bulk
of his great fortune by building palace
and sleeping cars, which were a monu-
ment to American enterprise and skill,
having .been awarded prizes at exposi-
tions in Austria, France and London.
'He was born in Brockton, Chautau-
qua. County, N. Y., in 1831. He lived
there until he was 14 years old, when
he removed to Albion, N. Y. There he
met Senator Ben Field. a State Senator
GEO. M. FULLMAN.
in 1854 and 1856, from whom he got
his first inspiration for the building
of sleeping cars.
That became his hobby. He paid 50
cents one night for the privilege of ex-
amining a car in which people slept. It
was only curiosity, however, as then he
had no idea of building one.
The car contained three ordinary
bunks, and was regarded then as the
best sleeping car that could be found
anywhere. .
The first Pullman sleeping car was
conceived in 1864. It was built in an
old shed on the Albion Railroad on the
outskirts of Chicago.
The First Pal-ace Cur.
This was the handsomest car ever
made up to that time. The principal
feature was the construction of two
berths, one above the other, which
would be comfortable and convenient.
The disposition of the mattresses was
a difficult obstacle, but after many
months of thought and hard work, the
“Pioneer,” with the upper berth hinged
to the side of the car near the roof, was
finished.
Many car builders inveighed against
this, but Mr. Pullman was sure it
could be done properly if the car were
made larger.
The “Pioneer,” as a result, was one
foot wider and two and one-half feet
,«higher than any car that has hitherto
been built in this country.
The new sleeping car cost $18,000. The
old ones cost $4,500 The “Pioneer” be-
came famous as the car used in the fun-
eral train of President Lincoln. It was
run from Springfield to Chicago on the
Alton road.
The Pullman Works.
The total amount of lumber used an-
nually by the Pullman Company is
about 51,000,000 feet total quantity of
iron used annually, about 85,000 tons:
total number of employes (July 31.
1893), 14,635; total amount of wages
earned daily by Pullman employes,
$24,965.63. ,
There‘are operated by the Pullman
Company 2,573 sleeping, parlor and din-
ing cars. Of these '650 are buffet cars
and 58 are dining cars. During th-
year ending July 31, 1893, the numbe
of miles run by Pullman cars was 206
453,796, and there were carried 5,673.1
passengers. About 9,000 meals or
served daily in Pullman dining :2...
buffet cars. There are about 33,000,00
pieces of Pullman car linen laundere"
annually. The mileage of railroads un
der contract is 126.795. The longest reg-
ular unbroken run of any cars in the
Pullman service is from Boston to Los
Angeles. and is 4,322 miles. The lot-1'
producing capacity of the constructior
shops per annum is 12,520 freight carr
313 sleeping cars. 626 passenger cm
and 939 street cars. Coupled 10,31“:
these cars would make a train or . if;
miles in length.
The town of Pullman has eight .izit"
of paved streets and 12,000 inhabit" :71
of whom 6,324 are operatives. Of t. ”
2,246 Pullman employes who live on ti.
borders of the town, about 1,000 ow.
their own homes. “
From the first year of its existence
the Pullman Company has paid its
quarterly” dividends with the regular-
, ity of a Government loan. and its 330.-
000,000 capital has a market value of
$60,000,000, while its stock is _so largely
sought as a rock-ribbed security for
the investment of the funds of educa-
tional and charitable institutions, of
women: and of trust estates. that out of
its 3,246 stockholders 1,800 are of this
class, and 1,494 of these 1,800 are

ENGLISH STRIKE TO AFFECT US.
Renewed Rumors of Sympathetic
Strikes of Machinists in New York.
New York, Oct. 20.—-T-here was more
tall: here yesterday of a movement in
sympathy with the Amalgamated As-
sociation of Engineers, whose members
are on strike in England. The Interna-
tional Machinists’ Union of this coun-
try reperesents the same class of work-
men as the Amalgamated Engineers of
England, and it was said yesterday
that Grand Master O’Connell, of the In-
ternational Machinists’ Union, ho is
third vice-president of the American
Federation of Labor, is in communica-
tion with President Gompers, of the A.
F. of L., with a view to sending finan-
cial aid to the strikers in England.
There were rumors also that co-opera-
lion with the strikers In another way
was contemplated.
George H. Warner is the delegate of
the local lodges of the Amalgamated
Engineers and the International Ma-
:hinists. He said yesterday:
“If President Gom-pers and the Exec-
Jtive Council of the American Federa—
tion of Labor should order a general
strike in sympathy with the strikers in
England. we are ready to obey the com-
mand, even to the extent of calling out
30,000 members of our union in this
country and Canada. They are now
iaking a referendum vote regarding a.
generalrdemand next May for an eight-
nour workday. If the vote is in favor
)f the demand it will be enforced by a
general strike if necessary. The strike
in England may precipitate matters, as
we are all ready to assist our English
brethren. The International Machin-
Ists’ Union takes in machinists, engi-
neers, b‘oiler makers and men of one or
two other trades.”
ALASKA MILITARY RESERVATION.
It Is to Be 11. Large Truct, Including
St. Michael and Much Mainland,
Washington, Oct. 20.——By direction of
the President, an order was issued by
the Secretary of War to-day establish-
ing St. Michael, Alaska, and a large
part of the near-by territory as a mili-
tary reservation over which the United
States will have exclusive jurisdiction.
This step will be taken to permit Fed-
eral troops to assume complete charge
of the maintenance of law and order
at St. Michael. Recent reports from
army officers and others have shown
that there is a likelihood of trouble at
St. Michael this Winter.» A company
f twenty-five infantrymen from Fort
i). A. Russell, Wyoming, left Seattle a
short time ago to establish a military
post there, and probably have arrived
by this time. It is the intention of the
President and Secretary Alger to ex-
tend still further the boundaries of the
reservation.
The Adjutant-General of the army ‘
yesterday received a telegram from
Capt. P. H. Ray of the Fifth Infantry,
who was sent to Alaska some time ago
to select a site for an army post at the
nearest available place on the Ameri-
can side,,to Dawson City. The tele-
gram was dated “Yukon River, Sept.
6,” and it said that the steamer Harn-
Ilton, on which Capt. Bay was making
the trip up the river, had been stopped
at Fort Yukon by {low water, and that
no more supplies could get to the Klon—
dike by that route this Fall. Capt.
Ray said he would proceed up the river
to Circle City in a whaleboat.
CUSTOMS RECEIPTS INCREASE.
Yesterday $681,483, the Largest in
Any One Day Under the Dingley
Law.
Washington, Oct. 20.—The customs
receipts reported to the Treasury De-
partment yesterday, $681,423, are the
largest by more than $100,000 recorded
In any one day since the passage of the
Dingley bill. For the same day last
year the customs receipts were $363,103.
Treasury officials are greatly pleased
with the outlook for the remainder of
the fiscal year, and are more than con-
vinced that after next Jan. 1 the re-
ceipts of the Government will be more
than sufilcient 'to meet its expenditures,
and that the deficiency in the financial
operations of the year will not exceed
the estimate made at the time the tariff
law was under discussion. So far this
months the receipts have been $15,269,-
204, and the expenditures $21,662,000.
The deficit for the fiscal year to date
ls $35,408,751. It is expected that No-
vember and December will show a gain
of receipts over those of the corre-
sponding months of 1896, and that the
deficiency of the year will not exceed
$45,000,000.

PLANS 0F TIIE‘CUBAI-IS
.__—————-
on the Island.
EXPEDITIONS WITH ARMS
‘Vith or Without Belligerent Rights
the Cubans Claim They Will Fe
Free by March—What an Officer of
the Insurgent Army Says.
St. Louis, Oct. 20.—Three Cuban pa-
triots direct from the island have been
in St. Louis the last fourteen days pro—
:uring and shipping ammunition for
their compatriots. Their work is at last
completed and they leave to-day for
Cuba. 0'
One of them is authority for the
statement that during their stay they
have purchased and forwarded to a
Texas port $225,000 worth . of cart-
ridges, dynamite, rifles, pistols and
saddlery intended for the insurgent
army. Two expeditions conveying these
supplies sailed last night from a Texas
port between the city of Bagdad and
Port Galveston, and in the Caribbean
Sea will meet two other xpeditions
that Sunday night set sail from New
York.
The Cuban agents are Col. George
Johnson, of the staff of Gen. Roloff;
Col. Eduard Betancourt and Capt. H.
A. Smith. During their stay in St.
Louis they have stopped at private
houses. Col. Johnston said:
“I left Santiago de Cuba the latter
part of September. Our mission has
been to buy supplies for the Depart-
ment of the East. Owing to the quar-
antine we could do nothing at Key
West, and came to St. Louis. We have
accomplished our mission here by the
purchase of $225,000 worth of ammuni-
tion and the like."
Col. Johnston continued on the sub-
iect of Cuba:
“Autonomy? No! Nothing but abso—
iute freedom. We have 60,000 men un—
der arms in Cuba. Virtually the whole
Island, except Havana, Matanzas and
Cienfugos is in our hands. We could
take Havana by means of dynamite,
but we would have to notify the for-
eign Consuls, who, of course, would
notify .the enemy, else we should blow
up our friends.”
“At a meeting of representatives of
the whole army of the East and West
as late as Oct. 4, at Holquin, at which
[ was present, and which has not yet
been mentioned in the papers, it was
reiterated that Cuba would accept
nothing but absolute freedom. It is a
waste of time for the United States to
deal with Spain relative to granting
autonomy ’or anything else short of ab-
solute freedom. What we want of the
United States is the granting of bellig-
erent rights. With that, in less than
seventy-two hours we would have out
of the various ports of the United
States forty-two vessels flying the Cu-
ban flag.
“Before the American Congress
meets again there will be events that
we hope will compel Congress to recog-
nize us. We have been on the defen-
sive heretofore. Now we are on the of-
fnsive. We begin to retaliate. The
armies of the East and West are about
to consolidate. They will shortly at-
tack Matanzas. Possibly Havana will
be assailed. We are about to show
Congress that we mean business, if we
have not shown it heretofore.
“W'ith belligerent rights the island
will be free before Dec. 31 of this year.
Without recognition we shall still be
free before March of next year.”
SHAW GAINS SYMPATHY.
Alleged Camden Murderer’s Counsel
Ejected from Private Hearing.
lng in the case of Eli Shaw, who is
wsuspected of murdering has mother
and his grandmother in order to ob-
tain an inheritance that would tend to
hasten his marriage to Mabel Neilson,
Is veering towards the young man to-
day.
An incident in which the young
man’s attorney, Harry S. Scovel, fig-
ured has played an important part in
bringing about this result. Scovel was
forcibly ejected from Mayor Westcott’s
office by a policeman. and five of
Shaw’s friends were held in $1,000 bail
each to. appear for the State at the
trial.
This action was. taken because the
young men, acting under the lawyer’s
advice, refused to answer questions at
a prix‘ate hearing.
Attorney Scovel was told to get out,
that he wasn't wanted and had no
business there. He refused to go and
fought to remain until policemen were
called in, and Scovel was finally
ejected.

For Four Days a Connecticut Girl"
Was Unconscious.
Waterbury, Ct., Oct. 19.——After re-
maining; in a state of suspended anima-
tion for tour and a half days, Elizabeth
Callahan was awakened at midnight
on Sunday night.
The young woman is the daughter of
James F. Callahan. When 10 years old
she was stricken with typhoid fever,
and since then she has shown a very
pronounced nervousness, which has in-
creased.
The girl, who is 22 years old and very
pretty, was employed under her uncle,
superintendent of the Welch Hosiery
Mills, at Waterville. She is a member
of 1vy Temple, the woman’s branch of
the local Knights of Pythias. She was
placed in charge of the “degree team.”
She drilled the {‘team” on Wednes-
day night, and arrived home at 11.30
completely exhausted. When her moth-
er went to awaken her the next morn-
ing she got no response. A second time
she went to the room, and found her
daughter unconscious, and summoned
Dr. H. G. Anderson. ’
He pronounced the case nervous hys-
teria. Although the patient was insen-
sible to any sound, the slightest touch
of a finger even on the back of her
hand caused a convulsive movement of
all the muscles of the body. A touch
on the foot or on any sensitive portion
of the body produced more pronounced
convulsions.
During the coma the girl’s appear-
ance was that of a dead person. The
skin was shrunken and absolutely col-
orless. The limbs were rigid, the only
sign of life being a convulsive catching
of the breath at long intervals.

Ordway, of Washington, is connected
with the Ordnance Department. Miss
Ordway made her social debut in
Washington. Since then her career has
been marked with several marriages
and divorces. She became a member

tor Passes Away in Washington.
Washington, Oct. 19.—Rear-Admira'l
John Lorimer Worden, retired, U. S. N.,
died in this city yesterday. He was re-
tired in 1886 with the thanks of Con-
gress.\ I
John Lorimer Worden was born in
Westchester County, New York, on
March 12, 1818. He entered the navy
as a midshipman on Jan. 12, 1835. He
served on various vessels until the war
broke out. In April, 1861, he carried the
orders of the Secretary of the Navy
which saved Fort Pickens, and while
returning to the North overland was
captured and held a prisoner by the
Confederates for seven months. On his
exchange he was ordered to New York
to superintend the completion of Erics-
son’s Monitor and to take command of
her. He took the vessel to Hampton
Roads, where the ironclad Merrimac
had been wreaking havoc with the Fed-
eral fleet. Early in the morning of
March 9, 1862, the two vessels met. It
was the first battle of ironclads the
world had even seen.
Worden was wounded by the explo-
sion of a shell in the pilot house at 11
xo’clock, and Lieut. Greene took his
| place.
The battle was drawn, but the
; United States fleet was rescued, and the
g was taken ill.
. subsequently became a captain.

further havOc with the Merrimac were
destroyed. Congress gave Worden a
vote of thanks for his gallant services.

1868, and rear-admiral on Nov. 20, 1872.
VICTIM OF THE KLONDIKE.
Henry B. Tucker, of Troy, Dies on
His Way to the Gold Fields.
Troy, Oct. 19.——Hepry B. Tucker, son
of Henry O’Reilly Tucker, proprietor of
the Troy Press, is a victim of the Klon-
dike fever. Word was received in this
city y‘esterday of Mr. Tucker’s death on
Sept. 11 at Minooc Creek, Alaska. While
following the trail near Rampart City

The little party spent
' two nights and days in the woods, and
then turned back towards Rampart.
City. They had not gone far before
Mr. Tucker fell from exhaustion. When
picked up by his companions a few mo-
ments later he was dead. Tucker was
only 25 years old, and was one of the
best-known and,most popular young
men in Troy. He was graduated from
Yale College in the class of ’94, and
soon afterward became assistant to his
father in the conduct of the Troy Press.
When the news of the Klondike gold
discoveries reached Troy he was fired
with an ambition to try his fortune in
that region, and on July 27 left for the
West. On Aug. 5 he sailed for Alaska,
and on Aug. 18 he sailed up the Yukon
on the steamer St. Michael, purchased
by him and sixty others.
It is believed by his many friends
here that Mr. Tucker was murdered for
his money. He carried a large sum
with him, and it is supposed that he
excited the cupidity of the desperately
hard-up miners, who attacked and
killed him for gain. The remains will
be brought here for burial.

Havana, Cuba, Oct. 19.—With the re-
turn of the\ gunboat Maria Cristina and
a. tug, bringing forty-two survivors of
the wreck of the coasting steamer Tri-
ton, which sank on Saturday morning
between Dominica and Marie], the fol-
lowing details of the disaster are made
known:
The Triton struck the rock during a
heavy rainstorm. Her cargo shifted,
; and fifteen minutes later she sank in
120 felhoms of water. The first boat
that was lowered was overturned im-
mediately, and all its occupants were
drowned. The next was struck by a.
wave and turned over, drowning twen-
ty; but the craft righted again, and
eight, who had been thrown out, re—

dits to prison. His entire family, num-
bering thirty-two, including servants,

oered 15,000, half of them armed. Their
