Death Of VIM. II. seward.

Hon. VIM. IL. Seward died suddenly at
his residence in Auburn, New York, THURS
day afternoon. He has never bccl in
robust health since the murderous assault
made upon him at the time of the assa ssin-
alton of President Lincoln, but be was in
reasonably good health until lass satur-
day, when he took a heavy cold, which
has thus resulted fatally.
Mr.. Seward has been one Of the most
conspicuous men in the public affairs in
this country for the past thirty years. liz
came into politics as a Wing but 10 some
extent lost favor with that party on ac-
count Of his advanced views in Glyor OF
the abolition of slavery, which finally cul-
minated in his famous declaration that
there was an irrpressiblc condic, between
slavery and freedom. lie was the fore
most man in the organization Of the
Republican party and was by some
styled the father Of that organization. lie
was a candidate for its second nomination
for the Presidency, but was defeated by
the nomination OF Abraham Lincoln. II,
was Secretary OF State during the whole
Presidency Of Mr.. Lincoln, and was one Cd
the victims selected for the devilish -chcm.
for assassination which resulted in Mr.
Lnco!n's murder. Mr.. Seward wa re-
peatedly stabbed by a rniliau named
Paine, and the wounds nearly proved
fatal.
Mr. Seward continued to serve as sccrc
tetary Of Stale under Mr.. johnson, aud
By his approval Of the policy Of that Pres
ldent he lost favor with the Republican
party and since his retirement from IN,
Cabinet he has not been prominent In
public affairs lie was born in Oraugl
county, New York, May 10Th, 1901, ant
was therefore well on in his 72i year at
the time Of his death. Since his retire,
mont from pablo life he has made an tex.
tensiyc tour over the Pacific CoJst aud
through Mexico, and thus having whct
bis appetite for travel in 1870 he started
TO make the grand tour Of the world, AND
starting from San francisco he crOssct
.hC Pacific, visiting excessively japan
China, India, Egypt, Turkey and Europe
returning nome 9crnss the Atlantic, llC
was one Of the ablest men Of our era and

phs Report OrThe hoard Of Trade
Wflmfngton'a Magnificent Future.

wilmfngton'a Magnificent Future.
Il 10 impossible for us TO review In g
single article, all the points presented by |
the annual report Of the Managers Of the
Board OF Trade at the annual meeting
last evening. A very full and carefully
prepared abstract ofthe document, is pub
lished elsewhere in this number Of our
paper, and ii will be found to amply re-
pay careful perusal. The report attests
fully the capacity, Industry and broad
views of the Boards accomplished and
faithful Secretary, Mr.. George W. Stone,
and he deserves the thanks Of this COM
munlty as well as Of the Board for his
arduous and intelligent labor in the prep
aratlon Of this admirable exhibit Of the
City's industry, resources and possibilities.
or course the salient point Of the re
port lie It's presentation OF the splendid
natural advantages Of this city as a centre
Of iron industry, and It's prophecy of q
magnificent future for Wilmington, as the
heart and centre Of the greatest industry
on earth in the fast coming time when
the iron manufacturing interests shall
transfer themselves from the cxhaustlug
iron and coal fields Of Great Britain to the
rich mineral regions Of this country, for
which this city Is The best seaport.
That this is not the mere self-gloriaca-
ton of citizens inflated with local or mu-
nicpal pride We have ample evidence.
Opportunity, in Illustration of the truth Of
the opinion, comes the unsonght testimony
Of no less a man than Hon. Asa Packer
the mining and railroad magnate Of Penn
sylvania who in a conversation reported
elsewhere predicts that the great iron in
terests Of Great Britain must collapse to
an extent chat piH lsdus our Wilmington
''ai The Greatest ship-bwlling port in he
"poTld." The words quoted are Mr.. Pack
er's own. But aside from this we know
that some Of the greatest iron manufac-
turers Of our country have conceded that
there lie no point on the whole Atlantic
coast with greater natural advantages as
great iron manufacturing centre than
this and, as the pockets Of henltate
ore In Pennsylvania become worked
out, as they arc being, the removal
Of the blast furnaces to tide water with
in easy shipping distance of the southern
ore beds will become more and more a
necessity, and II lie so nearly necessity
row that few II any blast furnaces will
he put up in the interior. Here at Will
mington more likely than at any other
place, is where new ones are likely to be
erected and around them will cluster oil
the other iron working enterprises which
will assist the city to the rapid realization
Of lite manifest destiny as the Glasgow OF
America, and a Glasgow as much greater
than lts prototype as Is this great Republic
than the lnsular monarchy whose grasp
upon the greatest industry on the earth il
slowly but surely relaxing.

| SCIENTIFIC MADMAN.
A Les Angeles Hermit Devoted TO Sol
encc-His Remarkable Theory Of Warm
Ocean Currents,


tFrom the Los Angeles Daily Hewf,l
There is a hermit living in this city,
known by some as DR.. Money, and by
others as Bishop Money, whose habits
have led some TO believe him crazy, while
others, more charitable, credit him with
being merely eccentric opinions which
have invariably been held Of the deyotees
to science. Money Is now probably on
the wintry side Of fifty, and has been In
In this State at least thirty years. He Is q
native of Scotland, and is by profession
naturalist. He is Il man that has Travelled
far and wide, that has read more than the
average Of his fellows, aud that has evil
IDENTIFY studied as few men feel disposed TO
do. DR.. Moneys dwelling at San Gabriel
Is quite a curiosity shop, and his residence
lin this city is bnt little different. At San
Gabriel he Is erecting a house In which
will be represented the various styles Of
architecture In their trde form, as inter-
preted by him from a memorandum Of an
| inscription found In the interior of one of
the Egyptian pyramids by an old soldier
who served in Egypt under Napoleon the
First. II Is reported by all that have seen
1t as one Of the most unique structures
ever attempted to be built. During the
time Dr.. Money has been on this coast,
besides other curiosities; he has got to-
gether a fine collection Of the birds, anil
mails, ETC., to be found here.
Previous TO coming TO this city, Dr.
Money travelled through much Of Canada
and through the territory within the
United States then and now inhabited by
the Indians. From them he CLEANED much
information concerning their origin, the
| condition of the country previous TO It's
II I.. ~ ha aha ~
ter of the animals that inhabited the land
and the creatures that deposited them
selves in the water All this he has con-
veyed to canvas, having drawn a large
map showing the territory now embraced
within the United States as II was 400
years ago. The sections inhabited by the
/ various tribes are traced out and the re-
\ glon wherein certain animals were to be
found, are severally defined.
| Theology has been one Of DIR. Moneys
favorite studies. He has large diagram
representing the various epochs of the
Christian religion adjoining the walls OF
his study. 1t contains much curious and
interesting matter, and is an index to the
immense amount of reading he has done
during his lifetime.
The most curious thing, however, Of all
DR.. Moneys productions or collections IL
that of map explaining his theory OF
the warm oceanic currents. A copy OF
the man has been filed in TIVE Recorders
office IN this city. The Doctor believes
the earth to be hollow; in other words,
that chimney PASSES through this globe
from the North Pole to the South Pole.

The Defeat OF Harry sasset.

1t has been mentioned by telegraph
that the celebrated racer, Harry .Bassett,
the rival Of Longfellow, was beaten at
Prospect Park, New York, on Saturday,
by Monarchist, owned by NJ. NJ. Sanford.
This was a most unexpected result, as
the odds were extrayagantly In favor of
Bassctt. The race was a dash Of three
miles, and very exciting. In drawing for
places Monarchist had the inside, but Bas-
set got the best Of the start full length.
At the quarter pole they we're Ihead and
head, but Bassett soon got the lead, and
coming up the stretch they seemed to
move almost with the speed of the wind.
The asters Bassett ran the closer Monarch
list seemed To hang TO him, and at the fin
ish OF the first mile, which twas run in
l;45, Bassett only led three-quarters Of a
length. The next mile was almost a repe-
titiOn Of the first, but entering the stretch
MOnarchist was still onlya neck behind
the favorite, and when again they came
up the stretch both were going more
slowly, and they passed the stand; having
run the two miles In 4;37<. As they
passed the stand the general opinion was
that Manarchist WAS running the fastest,
and that if he only stuck to his work lac
would win. Baesctt, hhowever, kept the
lead until well into the straight, when the
whip was applied to Monarchist, and he
came up even with Bassett, amidst the
| greatest excitement. Monarchist came
home the winner by two lengths, in 5.34I
