Startling Rumor Concerning Corne-
' lius Vanderbilt’s Illness.
ANGRY SCENE WITH HIS SON.
The lilillionaire Stricken When About to
Upbraid the Young Man For His Ob-
, duracy—A Similar Attack Carried
01f \Villiam 11'. Vanderbilt.
i
NEWPORT, B. 1., July 25,—The follow-
ing dispatch sent by the special correspond—
ent of the New York Journal to his paper
has given rise to no end of comment in
the exclusive society circle of this place:
The recent serious illness of Cornelius
Vanderbilt is still the theme for talk here.
Many of Mr. Vanderbilt's most intimate
friends and associates have expressed the
utmost surprise that one of his physique
should have been the victim of a paralytic
stroke, especially when his abstemious life
andhabits are taken into consideration.
N 0 event which has happened in this
generous, courtly gentleman’s life has
ever affected him so much as the deter-
' _ ,mlned effort by his son, Cornelius, Jr., to
marry Miss Grace Wilson, and the cause
for this terrible blow is now told for the
first time and is vouched for fully.
As far back as last August young Van-
derbilt, who has since proved himself a
young man of great determination, confid-
ed to his father his desire to make Miss
Wilson his wife. At first the Vanderbilts,
the father especially, smiled and said
nothing and made no serious opposition
to the young man’s suit, believing that.
his feeling would in time die out. A trip
for him was planned, first abroad, then
west, but he stubbornly refused to leave
New York. '
Miss Wilson had shown a great and de-
‘ cided preference for young Vanderbilt,
but no one of her' set ever dreamed that
she contemplated so serious 3 step as mat-
rimony with the boy, for the discrepancy
in their ages made every one think that
she was only amusing herself with him.
It is stated now, however, that at a. tea
given last February to a lot of girls she
positively affirmed her intention of mar-
rying young Vanderbilt, and so the news
commenced to spread rapidly.
The First Stormy Interview.
It naturally got to the ears of Mr. Van-
derbilt, and in consequence a stormy in-
terview was held between the father and
son early in April. The father first gently
pleaded, then commanded. The son
showed perfect indifference to the wishes
of his father, and, remaining obdurate,
went at once to the house of Miss Wilson
and implored that their engagement be
formally announced.
A meeting of the Wilson family was
held, and they Were then made fully cog-
nizant of the violent opposition to the
union of the young people. Notwith-
standing all this and knowing that the
young man’s career in life would be seri-
ously affected if not completely blighted,
the Wilsons gave a dinner at which the
announcement of their daughter’s mar-
riage in May to young Vanderbilt was
made and duly chronicled.
Mr. Vanderbilt at once made a codicil
to his will cutting 03 his eldest son with
$6, 000 a year in trust invested. The wed-
ding did not occur in May, for the delicate
lad was attacked by inflammatory rheu-
matism, and the event was postponed, at
first indefinitely, and then set for the first
week in August. Daily the lines deepened
in the face of the anxious father, and his
friends know that his mental trouble and
anxiety for his son’s happiness and health
were making sad inroads on his own
health.
Young Vanderbilt Obdurate.
As a last‘~resort a week ago Tuesday
morning Mr. Vanderbilt went, with Drs.
Janeway and MoBurney, to admonish the
_obdurate young man against the stop he
was about to take and to urge him to
travel and regain his shattered health.
Young Vanderbilt. declared that nothing
would move him, that no power could
make him alter his determination to make
Miss Wilson his wife, and that, if need be,
he would repudiate the whole family
which loved him so dearly.
It was at this juncture that Mr. Vander-
bilt arose, his face livid with rage and
anger, but before the anathema which he
would have hurled at his disobedient son
could be uttered he clutched at his throat
and fell from the stroke of paralysis which
startled the world.
When it was announced that death
might follow, Mrs. Vanderbilt and her
daughter went to her son, who persistent-
ly refused to approach his father, and
pleaded with him to ask forgiveness of his
father and seek a reconciliation. This
young Vanderbilt refused most positively
to do, and then Mrs. and Miss Vanderbilt
went on their knees and prayed the boy
to do as they asked. He stubbornly refused
to see his father or to inquire as to his
condition.
SinzfiMr. Vanderbilt has been conscious
and h. been able to talk he has requested
that the marriage be at least postponed
until late in the fall, but even this re-
quest, it is understood, has been denied.
How William 11. Vanderbilt Died.
NEW YORK, July 25. —-The dispatch sent
to The Journal. is especially significant
when the manner of the death of Mr. Cor-
nelius Vanderbilt’s father, William H., is
recalled.
At 11 o’clock of his last day of life Wil-
liam H. Vanderbilt sent to the Grand Cen-
tral station for his old time friend, Chaun-
cey M. Depew, with the message that he
wished to see him. Mr. Depew was en-
gaged in a conference at the station and
sent word that he would not be able to
come for an hour or two, and Mr. Vander-
bilt delayed the appointment till 1 o’clock.
To occupy the interval he went down to
the studio of J. Q. A. Ward, the sculptor,
in West Fifty-second street, to sit for a
bronze bust of himself which the trustees
of the College of Physicians and Surgeons
wished to place in the vestibule of the col-
lege. He returned and took lunch at 12:30
o’clock with his wife, his son George and
Mr. Twombly nd at the table was no-
ticeably brigh and cheerful.
At 1 o’clock Robert Garrett, the presi-
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio railway,
called upon Mr. Depew at the Grand Cen-
tral station, and finding him still detained
there went up to Mr. Vanderbilt’s house
to inform the millionaire and take Mr.
Depew’s place. Mr. Vanderbilt gree d
him cordially and engaged in a long d
animated conversation about railway mat-
ters. The conference lasted for more than
an hour, and Mr. Vanderbilt sent word to
his son-in-law, Mr. Twombly, that he
Would be compelled to forego their intend-
ed drive. The two railway magnates were
discussing the new terminal facilities of
the Baltimore and Ohio and the new inlet
It had secured by way of Staten Island,
and Mr. Vanderbilt expressed a lively in-
THE EVENING GAZETTE
terest in the results that were to follow
from the new enterprise.
It was just before 2:30 o’clock, while
the talk turned upon the scenes of Mr.
Vanderbilt’s childhood and early work,
contrasted with the tremendous achieve-
ments of his ripe old age, and when, it was
afterward alleged, Mr. Vanderbilt had be-
come greatly excited by a. suggestion made
by Mr. Garrett, that the latter, who was
sitting on a sofa and facing the million-
aire, who had leaned forward in his arm-
chair, as was his habit when thoroughly
interested, was suddenly mado aware of a
slight indistinctness in Mr. Vanderbilt’s
speech. This soon grew into an inarticu-
late sound, and as Mr. Garrett leaned over
to catch his words Mr. Vanderbilt pitched
forward without warning and fell heavily
to the floor on his face. Mr. Garrett sprang
to his feet with an exclamation of alarm,
and seizing a pillow from the sofa laid it
under his head. Then he summoned Mrs.
Vanderbilt and George, the youngest son,
but Mr. Vanderbilt expired almost imme-
diately.
THE STRIKING TAILORS.
Large Accessions Reported to the Banks
of Those Who Have Quit Work.
NEW YORK, July 25.—The latest acqui-
sition to the ranks of striking tailors in
this city area3,000‘knee pants makers, who
dccidcd‘at a meeting in New Irving hall,
in Brooms street, to join the strikers. The
sympathetic knee pants makers will go to
Walhalla, now New Pr’ospect, hall, in Or-
chard street, and place themselves under
the leadership of Meyer Schoenfeld, the
leader. By Sunday morning the strikers
in this city, Brooklyn and Brownsville,
embracing all branches of the clothing in-
dustry, it is estimated, will number in the
aggregate 18,000 men and women opera-
tors. The reports received by Schoenfeld
from the latter mentioned clothing cen-
ters, where Joseph Barondess is in control,
are of an encouraging character.
It is now formally agreed that the Knee
Pants and Children’s Jacket Makers?
unions, 4,000 strong, will quietly quit
work, so that by Sunday all the clothes-
making establishments in this city and
vicinity will be practically tied up.
Another delegation representing the
Manufacturers’ association called today at
the strike headquarters in Orchard street
and asked - to know the exact demands
which have been formulated by the execu-
tive board of the Brotherhood of Tailors.
They were informed that the document
had not yet been passed upon by the tai-
lors’ legal adviser. ex-Assistant District
Attorney Thomas J. Bradley, and conse-
quently they were unable to procure the
desired information. The official form of
agreement will be returned by Mr. Brad-
ley to the strike leaders and will be sub-
mitted for indorsement at a special meet-
ing of the strike leaders and the executive
board of the Brotherhood of Tailors.
There was a rumor that every one of
the manufacturers would under the new
agreement be required to give a cash de-
posit of $500 as a guarantee of good faith.
Notary Public Joseph Schulum has al-
ready taken quarters in Grand street,
where the manufacturers will make depo-
sitions and deposit the cash guarantee.
Esther Friedman of the women’s branch
Was at the strike headquarters today com-
pleting details in connection with their
meeting in Walhalla hall.
Secretary Henry Solomon of the execu-
tive board said that he was of opinion that
the present uprising of the tailors would
be short lived, inasmuch as the contractors
had undertaken to champion their cause
and help to secure them victory by forcing
the manufacturers to accede to the de-
mands of the tailors. The regular ofiicial
bulletins in Hebrew detailing the situa-
tion were scattered broadcast over the en-
tire district today. .
No Pardons Yet For Irish Prisoners.
LONDON, July 25.—Mr. A. J. Balfour
today said the“, the time had not yet ar-
rived to consider the matter of advising
the queen to pardon the Irish prisoners
convicted of treason, the suggestion hav-
ing been made that her majesty grant a
pardon to such convicts upon the sixtieth
anniversary of her accession to the throne.

or to the American missionary, the Rev.

ing been accused by the ports of encourag-
ing seditious movements among the Ar-

The Thing Which Was Greatly Feared
Has Not Come to Pass.
COMBINATION or sinuses.
They HaVe United to Maintain the Re-
serve attire/Required Figure-Con-
dition of Industries as Reviewed
by Messrs. R. G. Dun & Co.
NEW YORK, July 25.—R. G. Dun &.
Co’s weekly review of trade says:
The week began with extreme depres-
sion in stock and speculativemarkets, ow-
ing to the heavy outgo of gold and the fall
'of the treasury reserve below the mini-
mum. The Populist and silver conven-
tions caused some apprehension, and large
withdrawals of gold for hoarding were
rather feared than seen. Stocks fell rapidly
and on Monday averaged lower than at
any time this year or during the Venezuela
alarm in December, when the lowest aver-
age was 345.09 for railroads and $46.02
for trusts, but at the close on Monday av-
erages wore $42.75 for railroads and $43. 60
for trusts. Then came sharp recovery with
the union of .banks to turn $20,000, 000
gold into the treasury, and of international
bankers to control foreign exchange, and
the averages rose on Friday to $44.73 and
$44.81. The gold reserve has been quickly
lifted above $100,000, 000, and political
events have helped to clear away appre-
hension. Business of all kinds has been
considerably affected by the monetary con-
ditions and is slower to improve.
The produce markets have been serious-
ly depressed, lard making the lowest quo-
tations on record, corn falling to 32 cents,
wheat to 61.75 and cotton to 7.12 cents.
There has been a slight recovery in corn,
a sixteenth in cotton and a cent in wheat,
but the main cause of low prices remains
——namely, prospects of large crops with
heavy stocks on hand. Old corn is com-
ing forward at about double the rate a
year ago, and so far another great yield is
indicated. Wheat receipts at western
points have been 10,275,257 bushels in
three weeks against 4,489,443 last year,
when the coming crop, if ofi’icial reports
are to be credited, was larger than it is
now, and Atlantic exports for three weeks,
fiour included, have been 4,663,147 bushels
against 2,522,073 last year, a large gain,
but not enough to balance the increase in
receipts. In spite of contradictory accounts
the impression grows that the crop may
as much exceed official estimates as it did
last year.
Closing of Iron Furnaces.
Nothing appears of encouragement in
the industries, and there has been a con-
siderable further decline in the working
force. The closing of iron furnaces con-
tinues, only 3 out of 11 in the Mahoning
and 4 or 5 out of 16 in the Shenango val-
ley remaining in blast, and yet prices fall,
as unsold stocks are the largest ever
known, while the demand is remarkably
light. Southern No. 1 at the east is nom-
inally $11.25 and Pennsylvania 312, with
bessemsr 311.75 at Pittsburg and grey
forge $9.75, but even these and all prices
for finished products are shaded to secure
business. The general demoralization is
partly due to growing belief that large
combinations which'still hold up prices
cannot hold them long. Nearly all wire
and wire rod mills are closed, sales of
nails are small, bar iron at 1.2 is being
largely superseded by steel at 1.05, open
hearth billets are offered below bessemsr,
the demand for rails is very light and the
great structural works at Homestead go
on half time unless orders this Week are
better. Minor metals are also weaker, cop-
per at 11.12 cents, tin at 13.5 and lead at
2.90 bid. American tin plates sell at $3. 55
against 33. 70 for foreign, but with 5 to 7%
discount for forward delivery.
Textile industries are rapidly reducing
working force, as the prospect for future
demand does not grow clearer, and while
prices are nominally unchanged it is be-
cause there is little chance of business at
present. The state of woolen manufacture
appears in sales of wool at the chief mar-
kcts for the week the smallest ever
known, only 1,370.450 pounds, of which
842,050 were domestic, against 10,301,250
last year, of which 6,231,750 ' wore domes-
tic. For the past four weeks sales have
been 9,927,431 pounds, of which (£183,031
Were domestic; last year, 44,778,864, of
which 28,765,859 were domestic, and in
1892, 29,220,750, of which 18,924,500 were
domestic. Prices do not nominally change,
but are shaded to make sales, and western
markets are weakening some, though still
higher than eastern. There is little new
business in boots and shoes, probably not
enough in any; branch to keep shops at
work. But most factories have still orders
ahead for some weeks, though some are
nearly at the end or stopping.
The Money Markets.
Money markets have advanced, and
banks are preparing for the fall demand
with more case, because there is scarce-
ly any oflering of commercial loans.
Rates have risen sharply, and the rap-id
movement of grain and prospect of cot-
ton receipts several weeks earlier than
usual warrant hope that foreign balances
may soon be met by produce exports.
For the week exports from New York
Were 30 per cent larger and imports near-
ly 6 per cent smaller than last year, for
three weeks exports 25 per cent larger
and imports 16 per cent smaller. Domes-
tic exchanges, swelled by large speculative
operations, are showing much better than
new business. The tonnage movement of
railroads is a sure indication of current
business, west bound being small and Chi-
cago east bound 164,155 tons for three
weeks against 177,219 last year. Railroad
earnings for half July gain 6.9 per cent
over last year, but fail 7.7 compared with
1892.
Failures for the week have been 281 in
the United States against 202 last year and
’29 in Canada against 27 last year.
Damage by Raine In Ohio.
FINDLAY, 0., J ulp 25. -—-Continuous
rains and floods have destroyed a large
part of the crops in northweltern Ohio.
One-half the hay is still uncut, the wheat
is nearly all in the fields sprouting and
unfit for market. and the catfislds are so
wet that no machine can go in to cut
them. It is estimated that hundreds of
thousands of dollars will not measure the
losses of the last three weeks in this sec-
tion. -
VBoy Stowaway: Crushed to Death.
CHARLESTQWN, W. Va., July 25.—-Two
boys whose names are thought to be Rice
and Steinburg, aged 14 and 18 respective-
ly, were killed on a freight train at Shen-
andoah Junction today. They boarded the
train at Hagerstown and crept under a lot
of sewer piping on a flat car. At Shenan-
doah Junction the car was switched to a
side track, dislodging someaf the pipes

In the race for suc-
