ACCIDENT TO A WELL KSowH Cicr1-
zRS.-We find the following in the Bal
timore Sun, Of Thursday. Mr.. Drake
ey is we'll known in this city. end the
news Of a fatal ternination Of his acci'
dent will bring sorrow to biz many
friends here:
On Sunday, the 7th inst, MIR. Henry
Drakeley OF the firm OF Drakely q rem
ton the well known wholesale produce
merchants, southeast corner OF Baltl'
more aud Paca streets, while In Madl-
son, Wisconsin, met with an accident,
which, it is thought, will terminate
fatally. Mr.. Drakeley, while seated in
the parlor of an intimate friend, fell
from a rocking chair in consequence OF
one OF the rockers breaking, and in att
tempting to steady himself was thrown
agains. the ell OF window with such
force that be was rendered insenslble
for some moments. For several days
afterwards he was confined 10 his
chamber, his nervous system having
been greatly shocked, and on Tuesday
afternoon his family, living at No. 29l
West Fayette street, in this city, re-
ceived a telegram from his youngest
son, who is with his father, that his
condition was critical. At 4 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon another telegram
was received announcing that Mr..
Drakeley was wsverng between lille and
death, his injuries having eliminated
in conclusion Of the brain.
Mr., Drakeley was born in Woodber-
~, Connecticut, 10 1911 At the age Of
fourteen be left his home Tor Sullivan,
Maine, and there obtained clerskhip
in the country store OF Captain Payne,
now a man OF considerable prominence
in Boston. He remained in Sullivan
for several years, and then entered iu-
to the general merchandising with an
uncle, their trade being confined to
Western Pennsylvania, Virginia and
Ohio, with their headquarters at
Wheeling. He remained in that bust
ness until 1888, when he came to Bal
timore and entered the pork and beef
packing business. his place of business
then being on the north side Of Balti-
more street, a few doors east OF Paca
street.
In 1850 the firm purchased its pres
ent place of business. In 1855 the
uncle of Mr.. Drakeley died in Wheel
ing, and since that time Mr.. Dsakeley
has devoted but q limited portion of his
time to business in Baltimore, giving
much attention to the Washington
Rolling Mill at Wheeling, which be-
longed to himself and his uncle. Mr..
Drakeley is notably q self-msde bust
| ness. man His parents were poor and
his education was Of a meager charac"
ter, but he, by strict adherence to honest
principles, rose sbove.the disadvantages
OF early life. His business transactions
have always been Of the most success
full character.
