DR. HALL’S DEATH A SEVERE SHOCK.
Landed In This Country With a Sov-
ereign—med a Multimillionuire.
Paid 'ancy Prices to Noted An-
thorn—Owner of lion-ice.
NEW YORK, July 7.—-Robcrt Bonner
died at 7:40 o’clock last night in his city
home, 8 \Vcst Fifty-sixth street. Mr.
Bonner was more or less ill for some
months, but was able to be about until a
Week ago last Tuesday. Death was
caused by a general breaking down of his
systema ,
There were with him at the time of his
death Robert Edwin Bonner and Francis
Bonner, his sons; Mr. and Mrs. Herbert
Bonner. son and daughter-in-law; Mr.
and Mrs. Francis Ford, daughter and
son-in-law.
Mr. Bonner enjoyed good health until
some months ago, when his life long
friend and confidant. the Rev. Dr. John
Hall of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
churchfidied.
A week ago Tuesday he took his last
drive. When he came home, he was so
ill that a physician was called.
Robert Bonner was born in Loudonder
ry, Ireland, on April 28, 182-1. He came
to this country at the agc cf 15 upon the
solicitation of his uncle. who lived in
Hartford. '
He had an English sovereign as his
sole possession when he landed. His
wealth is placed at millions today.
He SeC‘llled wot k on the Hartford
Courant as u printer’s apprentice and re-

1 0nd and $45 for his third year’s work.
He came to New York in 1844 and
~ brought with him $70, the savings of his
A life in Hartford. He put his money in
the Chambers Street Savings bank and
made regular deposits thereafter until he
was able to save $1,000 a week.
His first employment in this city was on
The Evening Mirror. Later he did work
as a correspondent and finally took a
place on The Merchants’ Ledger, a small
financial paper. '
Not long after this he bought the
paper and, aftcr conducting itfor awhile
on the original lines, conceived the idea
of making it a high class family paper.
Then began Mr. Bonner’s real success.
Changing the paper’s name to the New
York Ledger, he built it up step by step
by skillful management and advertising.
The most popular writer in the country
at that time was Miss Fanny Fern. Mr.
Bonner sent to her an offer of $2 a col—
umn for a story. She declined. He raised
his offer to $50 without success and con-
cluded by contracting for a ten column
story at $1,000. , .
Mr. Bonner originated the plan of get—
ting prominent men to write for his pa-
per and sign their names.
One day Henry \Vard Beecher sent Mr.
Bonner a poem by a woman friend of his
with a note saying a check would be ac-
ceptable to the woman if the poem could
be used. Mr. Bonner replied to Mr.
Beecher that he was (wet-stocked with
poetry, but sent him an offer of $2,000 a
year if he would write from half to three-
quarters of a column weekly for the pa-
per.
The letter was accompanied by a check
for $2,000, the first year’s salary in ad-
vancc. Mr. Becchcr accepted and con-
trimmed to The Ledger for the rest of his
life. Mr. Bonner paid Mr. Beecher $30,-
000 for his novel, ”Norwood.” .
In 1856 Mr. Bonner’s health began to
fail. and his physician advised more life
in thc open air. Mr. Bonner bought his
first horse and began a career as a lover
of fine horses thatbrought him fame and
was worth thousands to him in the way
of advertising. -
He paid at various times during his
life for famous horses :1 total of more
than $1,000,000 and owned such thor-
oughbreds as Alix, the present iccord
Startlc, Edward Everett and a score of
others. ' ’
He would never race a horse for
money. '
He gave great sums for philanthropy,
and it is said more than $1,000,000 was
donated to various projects. When tlzc
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church was
erected, Mr. Bonner gave $30,000.
Mr. Bonner retired from the manage-
ment of Thc Ledger 12 years ago.
Spain Mllses Ifer Colonies.
\VASHINGTON, July 7.—As the re-
sult of the loss of her colonies Spain’s
sugar factories, with a yearly produc-
tion of 60,000 tons, have been unable to
satisfy the home demand, amounting to
about 100,000 tons per annum. Accord-
ing to Consular Agent Mertens at Valen-
cia, the g0vcrnment has been petitioned
to reduce the high prohibitive duty of
102% per cent to 50 per cent, and, in
spite of the opposition of the refineries,
the reduction probably will be made as a
revenue producing measure.
Alaskan Boundary Unsettled.
\VASHINGTON, July 7.—Embassnd01'
Choate and Lord Salisbury are almost
deadlocked over the modus vivendi fixing
the Alaskan boundary. Neither side will
accept the provisional line proposed by
the’other,‘ the Canadians demanding the
inclusion‘of their Porcupine country and
the Americans the projection of the
boundary line northwesterly from a point
two miles above Kluckwnn.
