DEAD.

Cornelius Vanderbilt died this
smorning in New York. as will be
seen by referring to our dispatches,
after a long and painful illness.
He was over eighty years Of age
and at the time of his death was per-
haps the wealthiest man in the city of
New York, or in the United States,
for that matter.
He arose from the humblest walks
of life, having at an early day been
laborer ona New York ferry boat.
BY dint of native shrewodness, and
great energy, he eventually became
the owner of q majority interest in
the ferries which ply between New
York and the Jersey shore, and ulti-
mately owned q controlling interest
in the magnificent line of Hudson
River steamers, running between
New York and Albany. When the
California gold mines were discover
ed, he put on a line of steamers from
New York to San Francisco, ane
from these various sources accumula
ted an immense property before n
turned his attention to railroading
When he bought the Hudson Rive
and New York Central Railroads
their stock was worth less than 20 cts
on the dollar, but under his magi
touch they have run up to par, not
withstanding frequent watering'
which have put millions into hi
plcthoric pockets.
The death of Vanderbilt is the en-
or the great triumvirate of capitalist
Astor, Stewart and Vanderbilt, VIII
have all died within brief perio'
and who were the three great none
kings Of America.
Vanderbilt was, perhaps, the ricl
est man of the three, his wealth ha'
ing generally been estimated at Vs.
100000. He was the owner and CO.
trolling spirit Of the great route fro
New York to San Francisco, whi'
embraced the Hudson River, Ne
York Central, Lake Shore, Chicago
Northwestern and Missouri Paci
railroads.

Death.

NEW YORK, Jan. A. Commodore
Vanderbilt died this morning a,
nine minutes to IL o'clock, at his resi-.
dence in Washington place.
New York, Jan. 4.-Commodore
Vanderbilt remained perfectly con.
scious to the last moment of his life
and died almost without struggle,
He has been considered dying since
Tuesday. ,At four o'clock this morn
ing his condition became rapidly
worse and he expressed desire to
see Rev. DR.. Deems, his spiritual adj
wiser. The latter arrived in a few
minutes and Commodore Vanderbilt
said, II think am nearly gone, Doc
tor" DR.. Deems prayed BY the bed
side Of the dying man and then some
members of the family sang few
hymns in low tones. The music
seemed to soothe the sufferer. All
his family were sent for during the
night and when he died they were at
his bedside. His eldest son VIM. H.,
arrived soon after midnight and re-
manned to the end. All his daughters
were present and his wife.
The news of Vanderbilt's death
spread rapidly and very many friends
called at the house this morning and
sympathized with the mourners.
Cornelius Vanderbilt jr. arrived
just before his father died. The
funeral will take place Sunday at
ten thirty.
His death having been SO long ex-
pected the stock market was little af.
fected. Prices varied not more than
one per cent even in those stocks in
which he was interested. 1t is esti-
mated by those who are in position
to judge that Commodore Vanderbilt
was the owner Of securities having a
present market value of $1,000. COO,
and that of this total fully 5,OOO, 600
consisted of stocks Of New York
Central and Hudson. The bulk of
this property will be kept together
and the accrning interest reinvested.
AS soon as the news had been re-
ceived at the City Hall, flags were
lowered at half mast, course which
was soon followed by the principal
hotels and other public buildings.

The Hoosier democracy have re-
Gently had good lesson taught them
and the democracy Of the country, as
well. Some democratic members of
the Legislature have. died since the
election, and new elections have been
held, in which the republicans tri-
umphed. Two republican state Sena-
tors were elected in districts where, in
October, the democrats succeeded BY
several hundred. This gave the re-
publicans q majority in the Senate o.
one. A republican was also elected
in representative district where the
democrats succeeded in October by 9
handsome majority. This result mus
be conclusive as to the fact that thu
scah cry Of the democracy Of Indiana
has disgusted the people. Tom Hen
