The Mandate Of Trade.

Daniel Drew's mansion, on the southwest
corner of Union Hlace and Seventeenth
street, was sold by auction in the Exchange
salesroom, yesterday, to meet the foreclo-
sure of mortgages held by his grandchild
ren. The sale was by order of the Supreme
Court, and was under the direction Of the
Hon. Frederick W. Loew. Over two
hundred spectators attended the sale. Mr..
Adrian II. Huller, the auctioneer, started
off with a bid of SO,OO0, which was in
creased after thirty bids to $4,000, at
which price the property was bought in by
Mr. John l.. Fitzgerald for the mortgages.
They are Louisa K. Edey, Georgianna
Everette, Antoinette Cozzens and Joseph
inc Cozzens, Mr.. Drew's grandchildren.
The house is to be leased for business pur-
poses. Inthe rear of 1t is Mr.. Drew's large
stable. This was sold with the house.
The mansion was built in lS49 for the
wealthy Suydam family. It is one of the
few private dwellings that remain in Un-
ion square, opce noted for it's elegant
homes, then the largest anu costliest in
America. Among the number were the
Paris mansion on the north side of the
square, later the Union League Clubs
home; the Mofat Mansion, which was rent
ed to the Fenan brotherhood for their
headquarters after the death of their mil
lionaire owner, and the old Roosevelt man
sion, which stood at the corner of Broad
way and Fourteenth streets until within a
few years. The Hon. Samuel B. Ruggles,
Robert GoeleL, who is the heaviest real es-
tate owner in the city next to the Astors,
and the Marshall and Smith families, are
left the sole occupants of mansions on the
square.
Daniel Drew lived on the square for
twenty years. The SUI family met
with a reverse of fortune, and he bought
their house at half its worth. Four years
ago he rejected an offer of three hundred
thousand dollars for it. In 1869 he gam
BIS sway the fortunes Of his granddaugh
tei- .. Wall street, and afterwards mort
gagged The house to them. The mortgages
were not recorded until three years ago
after he had conveyed the property to hi
wife. She decided it to her son, William G
Drew. The house was stripped of all ita
furniture and paintings when Mr.. Drew
moved out of it two weeks ago.

EliZabeth'A Old Sexton.

sombre light fell through the heavily
stained windows of the old First Church of
Elizabeth, N. j., Tuesday evening, while
high above in the wooden steeple the bell
tolled solemnly the burial of Stephen Pier
son,the old sexton of the chul ch. Nh. .Pierson
had been sexton of the church for over forty
years. in which time he had not omitted the
performance of duty, and he died at his
New Jersey towns, aud in Elizabeth young
and Old called him the 'old sexton" He
was injured in falling from tree one day
last week, and died on Sunday.
At 9 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the
great church was filled. The coffin, which
was of stained walnut, marked by a silver
shield with the name and age of the dead
man, was placed on low catatalque in
front of the pulpit. 1t was covered with
many flowers. The Rev. Mr.. Kempshall,
standing behind the coffin, looked silently
upon the remains of the old man, and then
said "Our old sexton is gone;;" then paus-
lng for moment went on in broken voice,
81 almost expected to see his face at the
gate as came up the walk, and | looked
often for it among the people, had seen it
50 many times on similar occasions" The
pastor then gave this brief history OF the
old sexton's life. ''Stephen Pierson was
born in this city at the time that it was only
borough, and he lived and died aud is to
be buried here. In his early manhood he
studied for the ministy, bat soon giving up
that profession, he embraced trade. Forty
years ago he was appointed sexton OF this
church, position he always held thereafter,
and health found him at his post. No one
was better known in this community than
he, and believe that no one would be more
sadly missed. He will be missed by the con-
gregation, by the people, by children, by all
He will be missed not because he possessed
commanding talents, not because OF any
great popular influence, but because every
one loved him. His last record, that OF
1915, says that he has buried since his ap-
pointment as sexton nearly three Thousand
persons, almost as many as there were IL
the city forty years ago. The records con
clude with this sentence: "This completes
my forty years, the same number that wer,
given TO Noses" Just before he died hi
Hamed the plot in the yard in which hi
wished to be laid; and who could have
named the spot so well as he who knew tn
Ya'd SO well?"
Tae old sexton was then buried in TIT
churchyard.
