DEATH OF A MILLIONAIRE.

Maklng His Fortune by a Patent and a
Bold Business Stroke During the War.
BOSTON, Dec. 21.-Mlchael H. Simpson.
OF this city, best known as the possessor
of fortune of $10,o00,0OO or So. 900, 900,
died to-day of heart disease. He was born
of poor parents, in Newburyport, seventy
five years ago, and came to Boston when
a boy. He laid the foundation of his great
fortune in this way: Many years ago
tailor named Nichols went to leading
patent agent in this city and asked if he
knew man who could invent machine
for taking the burrs off of wool,
The agent took him to a French
Canadian named Coullard, who agreed
to undertake the task. BE went to
work, but was so slow that Mr.. Nichols
gave up the project on account of the ex-
pense. MIR. Simpson, who was having
some machinery built at Coullard's shop,
became interested in the Canadians
models, and purchased the invention. He
took it to England and sold it for E 10, 600.
That machine was the same in general
principles as those now used for the same
purpose. The millions have since been
piled up for Mr.. Simpson by the Saxon
vile mills and the ROXbury Carpet Com
pany, both great establishments being
The bulk of his fortune was made by a
master stroke during the war. In the
early months of the contest, when busi-
ness of all kinds was greatly depressed,
his partners suggested that they, like
others, should curtail production. Look
ing out OF the windows of his great carpet
mills, Mr.. Simpson asked: "How much
land is there in that vacant tract? So
many thousand feet was the reply.
every WELL" replied Mr.. Simpson.
Tomorrow we VIII begin to build a
warehouse to cover it. Then we will
make carpets to the full capacity of our
machinery. When that storehouse is
full, we will build another and fill it."
This policy was followed, and when the
inflated demand and prices of year or
two later arrived, the concern put an i'm
mense quantity of goods on the market at
the highest figures.
Mr.. Simpson was twice married, the
second time about four years ago to a
woman nearly 80 years his Junior, who
survives him. The wedding is remem-
bered on account of the impression
created by Mr.. Simpsons gift to his bride
of 81. 900 900 in bonds

LYNCH,s WEDDING.
The Color Line-TwO Sets of Invitations
Sent Out.

The Color Line-TwO Sets of Invitations
Sent Out.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The Bee news
paper, a weekly published here and the
organ of the colored people, devotes, in its
issue Of this morning, long article to
the wedding of ex-Congressman Lynch,
which occurred on Thursday. Lynch is
much darker than Miss Ella Summerville,
his bride, and sister of the latter, who is
employed in the Government Printing
office, will not recognize the young wife
because she married a niger" This
feeling extended farther into the Sum-
vile family, and was the cause of two
sets of invitations to the wedding being
issued-one set for the blacker, more nu-
merous and more plebian element, and
the other for the winter and aristocratic
few, the former attending the brief and
feastless afternoon ceremony, and the lat
ter the swell reception and dinner of the
evening. The Bee criticises Lynch in
very harsh terms for drawing the color
line" and catering to aristocracy, though
the bridegroom is quoted as alleging that
he had nothing to do with the invitations.
The incident has created quite a row in
the black district.

GREAT SUFFERING AT SEA.

Terrible Experience of the Crew OF the
Bark "EphraIm WnIiams"-Lashedi in
the Rigging Four Days Without Food
or Water.
During the past few days terrific gales
have RACED along the whole Atlantic
coast. Great damage has been done 10
shipping, and incoming vessels report ex-
tremeIy severe experiences. Added to
very heavy cross winds, there has been
considerable fog, rendering navigation
very difficult and dangerous. The fogs in
many places were followed by a heavy
dOwnpOur of rain or driving snOwstOrms,
and this has been as great an imPediment
as the fOgs.
A Washington dispatch to the NEWS
details the wreck of the Savannah bark
Ephraim Williams, before reported as un-
known. and ashore off Big Kinnakeet life
saving station. The EphTaim Williams
was commanded by Capt. Morrison. She
was lumber laden, and was cleared for
Providence, r. l., by McDOnOugh tE Co.
and r. b. Reppard on Dec. 16
with 257,365 feet of lumber.
She encountered a northwest gale
aud became waterlOgged. The Captain,
in trying to beach her, struck on Hatteras
shOal Sunday night, and she dragged an
chOrs. Yesterday morning Keeper Daley
and crew of the Cape Hatteras life saw
ing station went to her assistance and
rescued the crew-nine men. The work
of rescue was very difficult, the sea being
very heavy, with a strong nOrtherIy cur
rent. The Captain and. crew had been
lashed in the rigging without food or
water since the 18th, and their suffering
had been intense.
The brig Helen, Capt. ROwley, arrived
up from Tybee yesterday. She Is from
New York. The Captain reports very
heavy weather throughout the passage Of
eight days, during which he had cross
seas. His bulwarks were stove in, but
no other damage was sustained.
Capt. Billups, of the Baltimore steN-
ship William Crane, reports very 80 Ere
weather. He was OYertaken by a nse

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Gar
land was in his seat again to-day. His
friends congratulated him on his pros
pective elevation to the Attorney General
ship in Cleveland's Cabinet, but he quietly
replied that it had not been offered to him
yet, and that congratulations were there
fore premature. He was well pleased
with Gov. Cleveland, as all the Demo-
cratic leaders who have talked with Gov.
Cleveland at the latter's invitation, have
been. He says that Gov. Cleveland is
square, broad gauged and animated by
purpose to give the country an excellent
administration, and that it is Gov. Cleve-
lands ambition to properly conduct the
gOverI1hent through one administration.
He says that he is himself a conserva-

p to give the country an
administration in full accord with the
progressive spirit of modern Democracy.
To that end he is exercising great care to
obtain for his Cabinet men who will SYM

arrive. The expected visitors are from
Nebraska, Minnesota aud Indiana and

future, preparations for the Mardi Gras

will hardly inconvenience them.

PITTsBURG, Dec. 23.-The latest re-

dlcate that the miners strike is a failure.
In the second pool many of the miners
have refused to strike, and in the third and
fourth pools it is reported that a majority

to work. A number of operators were in
the city this afternoon trying to make ar

TUBE WORKS TO SHUT DOWN.
This afternoon the employees OF the
National Tube Works Company. at
McKeesport, Pa, were notified that

orders was assigned as the only reason
for the suspension. The trade at present
is very dull, and for some days the force
has been utilized in turning out material
for the cOmpany's own use in order to
keep the works in operation. The sus-
pension will throw over 1000 ont of
work, and withdraw from McKeesport
trade about 100000 every month, which
was PAID to and spent by the employees.
