He Was President of a Railroad Shortly After Attaining Bis Majority and Later Was In Charge of the B. and O.—His Mental Collapse. BALTIMORE, July 30.—Robert Garrett, formerly president of the Baltimore and Ohio railway, died at his cottage in Deer Park, Md., at an early hour today. Al- though he had been a hopeless mental in- valid for many years, his physical condi- » ticn was not such as to cause any imme- diate uneasiness upon the part of his friends. About two Weeks ago, however, he began to fail, and it was thought best to remove him from Uplands, his country home near Baltimore. to Deer Park, in the hope that the change of air and seen- cry uld benefit him. The improvement was ot'as great as his physicians hoped fir, and within the past I ‘ek the patient flared much from mentz. depression and melancholic. On Monday his condition showdd a marked change for the worse, . and yesterday became critical. His wife was with him when the and came, which was peaceful and apparently painless. The immediate cause of death was chronic nephritis. Robert Garrett's Career. Robert Garrett was the son of John Work Garrett, who took charge of the Bal- timore and Ohio road in 1858, when it was in an embarrassed condition, and put it on avpay basis. He was born in Bal- timore, A n o, 1847, was graduated from Princeton in the class of 1867, and, after receiving a business training in the bank- ing house of his father, was made presi- dent of the Valley railroad in 1871. He was made third vice president of the Bal- timore and Ohio in 1879, first vice presi- dent in 1881, and in 1834 succeeded his father as president, having for some time discharged the duties during the iatter’s absence. When Mr. Garrett assumed the control of the road, it was paying dividends regu- larly and was in a prosperous condition. He tried to carry out his father’s policy and at the same time, besides running a rail- Brown Hoisting; war-lie was errant-Jun.

In the complaint Mr. Walter alleges that Zubcf went to his hotel on Dec. 15, 1895, and engaged rooms. He remained there until May 30 of this year, by which time he had contracted a debt of $500 for board and lodgings.

Postmaster-s Appointed. . _ ROBERT GARRETT. road line of over 2,000 miles, to manage a telegraph company of 62,000 miles, an ex- press company covering the whole railway system, a sleeping car company, and in addition to force his way into New York and fight four of the leading railroad cor- porations of the country. This caused a heavy drain on the re- sources -of the railway company, which was increased by a sinking fund arrange- ment that took $750,000 out of the income each year. The extension cost 820,000,000— ttvice as much as was expected—and Mr. Garrett had to look about for some way out of the troubles his company had got into. That a way had been found was an- nounced when, on March 9, 1886, the financial world was notified that Robert Garrett had placed the road in the hands of a syndicate controlled by Alfred Sully, who had agreed to purchase 80,000 of the 150,000 shares of stock at between $175 and $200 a share. Mr. Garrett’s Downfall. Tenth street iron mill, which has been nonunion since 1892, has signed the Amalgamated Puddlers and Finishers’ scale, and 450 men will be put to work. The increase for puddiers will be 50 cents a day, from $4 to 84. 50. Finishers will be increased in proportion. The Olivers’ sig- nature is considered an important success for the workmen.

This firm was no more successful than Sully, and finally Mr. Garrett took away the option. A crisis was now upon the company,. and it found the once fine property in a bad way. Mr. Garrett was then in Europe, but conducted negotiations which resulted in the issuance of a blanket mortgage that was taken by a syndicate of bankers to cover the indebtedness of the road and to bring about reconstruction. Three days before this the Baltimore and Ohio Ex- press was sold out to the United States company for's2,500,000. Then came the sale of the telegraph company to the West- ern Union, in spite of the efforts of Mr. Garrett to prevent it, and on Oct. 12, 1887, Mr. Garrett resigned from the presidency of the company, and was succeeded by Sam- uel Spencer in the annual election later in the year. . Mr. Garrett’s actions for a short time previous to his resignation were so pecul- iar. and his statements so extravagant that his friends feared he was losing his mind and by strategy succeeded in getting him away from New York on the Sunday , before he gave up control of the road. He- ports of his insanity were prevalent and were denied for some time, but it Was finally admitted that he was under treat- ment. During the latter years of his life he was in a private sanitarium near Bal- - timore. Killed by a Woman Bicycle Rider. .
