We have to record this morning the death OF
one Of the Oldest md one Of the most wealthy

shippiug interests Of this city, and acquired

The foundation Of it, however, was said to hare
been obtained in thcf following manner: during
the war Of 1872 he was largely engaged in trade,
mud had large amounts due him from parties in
the South. These southern merchants being
unable to pay him, owing to the stoppage OF all
foreign business, rs last resort offered to meet
their liabilities By giving him so much cotton.

aud other wealthy men, they are in proportion
Of one dollar assessment to ten dollars OF actual
