COL. TIA. SCOTT DEAD
The Great Railroad Magnate's
Peaceful Demise.

The Great Railroad Magnate's
Peaceful Demise.
Colonel Thomas A. Scott died al
his country residence, Woodland,
near Darby, at Q O'Clock Saturday
evening in the 57th year of his age.
The last hours of the great railway
president were calm and peaceful.
Early Saturday mornlning he ap-
peared to rally and it was thought
be was better, but he almost i'm.
mediately sank into the stupor which
marked the last stagesof his disease.
From 4 O'Clock In the afternoon un-
til the last it was almost impossible
to tell whether Colonel Scott was
dead or alive. During the day many
friends called but they were no al
lowed to see the dying man.
The cause of Colonel Scott's death
was paralysis, and latterly softening
of the brain. The disease was caused
by an accident on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, when Colonel Scott was
Superintendent of the Western Divi-
sion, many years ago. He was riding
on locomotive which collided with
another engine, and he was thrown
violently to the ground. The result
of this ac cident was partial paralysis
from which Colonel Scott always
suffered. II this accident had not oc-
CURED Colonel Scott might have liv-
ed many years longer than he did,
Notwithstanding the great amount Of
mental and physical labor he.per-
formed during his active life, for he
was endowed with an excellent con-
stitution and most powerful frame.
His surviving relatives are his
wife, who was Miss Riddle of Pitts
burg, his son James P. Scott, and q
daughter, Mrs. II. W. Buckley, whose
mother was Colonel Scott's first
wife, and who was Miss Margaret
Mulllson, and two quite young child
rem, Edgar Thomson and Mary. 1t
is supposed by Colonel Scott's init
mate friends that out of his fortune
of SIT, 100000 he left a handsome
sum to be devoted to charity and
edic ational purposes.
