Death ofJohn W. Garrett.


 DEER PARK. Md, Sept. 28.-John w. Garrett, president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company, died here at 5:25 this morning, after protracted illness, in the sixty-ffth year of his age. He had been at this place for some time and it was supposed that the mountain air would be of benefit to him, but his mental as well physical prostration was so great that he could not rally.
 BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 26.-The members of the Stock Exchange held special meeting to-day and passed resolutions expressing re- gret at the death of MT. Garrett and sympa- thizing with the family in the bereavement. Similar action will be taken by both branches of the city council and the corn and four exchanges.
 The remains of Mr. Garrett arrived at Camden station in this city at 7:20 o'clock this evening and were immediately convey ed to the family seat at Monticello There train bearing the body of the dead railroad king arrived.
 The active pail bearers of Mir. Garrett's funeral on Sunday will be Samuel Spencer, second vice president of the railroad com pany; Orlando Smith, general freight agent; Andrew Anderson, assistant to the president; William Gilman, vice president of the Mary land Central railroad, 0. Nitze, J. s. Prick, W. H. Whitridge and Dr. N. R. Gortan. Among the honorary pail bearers will be General George B. Mcclellan, John King, jr., president of the Erie railroad, and United States Senator H. G. Davis of West Vir- ginia.
 John W. Garrett was born in Baltimore July 31, 1920, and was the second son of the late Robert Garrett. His education was completed at Lafayette college in Pennsylva- mia, when he entered his fathers counting room and was at the age of nineteen made partner in his fathers business. His first connection with the Baltimore and Ohio rail road was in October, 1857, when he was made director of the company, a time when the embarrassment of the road was of most serious character In 1858 MT. Garrett was elected to the presidency of the company, which po- sition he has since retained. The practical wisdom of the policy inaugurated by Mr. Garrett was shown at the close of the first year, the aggregate net gains of the company during the first year of his administration be- ing $725, 325. IS. In the second year the i'm provement of the affairs of the company were even more marked than during the first year. During the war the geographical position of the road placed it's lines in constant jeopardy, but the indomitable will and energy of Mr. Garrett made the road useful for the tranfser of troops at all times and the practical utility of the road was nev- CT lost. After he beeame president and gave his time so largely to the duties of his office, the directors by unanimous vote increased his salary from $4, 900 to $10, 900 per year. This increase MT. Garrett declined He repeatedly declined to accept the offer of the presiden- cies of other railroads, though accompanied in one case by an offer of salary of $50, 900 and another by proposal to give him $50,- 900 year. MT. Garrett was also at the head of the banking house of Robert Gar rett & Sons
