JOHN W. GARRETT DEAD.
HIS WIFFS DEMISE A SHOCK
WHICH HELPED KILL HIM.

HIS End Peacefully Reached in the
Midst OF His FamiIy-His Presidency
OF the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Held for &c Years-His Place Hard to
Fill.
DEER PARK, Nd, Sept. 26.-John w.
Garrett, President of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, died here at 5:25 O'clock
this morning, after a protracted illness.
AT l:l5 this morning Mr.. Garrett was
sinking rapidly, and his death was ex-
pected at any moment. He appeared to
be passing away calmly and without suf-
fering, surrounded by the members of his
family.
The history of Mr.. Garrett's illness is a
most painfully interesting one. While
abroad, in the summer of 1888, Mr.. Gar
rett was much enfeebled, hut moved
about with some difficulty. He received
shock in the death OF his wife last fall
from which he never recovered. The
prostratIon affecting him at that time
developed disease of the kidneys and
kindred disorders, which were heavy
drains upon his strong constitution.
Last spring, accompanied by his
daughter and his physician, Prof. Alan
L. Smith, he went TO Wood Lake. N. J.
where he improved considerably.
Later he went to Elberon. Long
Branch. In midsummer he returned to
Baltimore, stopped few days at his coun-
try residence, Montebello, in Baltimore
county, and then continued his Journey
to Deer Park. Mr.. CARROTS troubles about
the kidneys had apparently been cured.
and ne was able to walk about and take
long drives. But about three weeks AGO
he had relapse, brought on, it is thought.
by his taking up some of the business
connected with improvements of the Bal
timOre and Ohio Railroad system.
MIR. Garrett was in his sixty-fifth wear
an age at which men of his natural YipOr
OF constitution are in their hale and hearty
prime of life. The great enterprises IN
which Mr.. Garrett engaged put upon him
an amount of work which few men are
called upon to go through with, and the
strain, together with his domestic afflic-
ton, proved too much for him. His
methods OF work were very exact, thor
ougn and laborlous, and his powers of
continuous application were something
astonishing. Mr.. Garrett was elected q
director OF the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road in October, 1857. He was elected
President Nov. II. 1858.
He will be ranked as one of the great
railroad presidents. He did more than
any otner man to make the Baltimore and
ONO Railroad system what it is. The
road is one Of the greatest in the country
ana is upon sound financial basis. 1t
Will not be an easy matter to fill satisfac-
torlly the place that Mr.. Garrett occupied.

ties are stated to be nearly S65, 900. The
principal creditors are the Third Nation
al Bank of st. Louis $50, 900, and II. M.
Filley $4,000. The cause of the assign
ment is the refusal of banks to accommo-
date.

was caused by the pressure of a few
small creditors, who threatened to attach
the property to satisfy their claims. II
was thought best to assign and protect

time.

REVOLUTIONS NEAR HOME
THE TURMOIL IN PERU EVI-
IDENTIFY SUBsIDING.

G'n. Caceres Fugitive and His Fol-
lowers Disheartened Attempts at
Civil War Fall Through iu Nicaragua
ana Suatemala-Church and State the
Topic in Chill
PANAMA, Sept. 17.-Adyiees from Lima
state that the revolution is apparently
drawing to close. The ill success that
attended Gen. Caceres' attack on Lima
must necessarily have served to dampen
the ardOr of the revolutionists and To
strengthen Gen. Iglesias' government.
The number of killed on that occasion
was only about 100 on both sides. which
can give an idea of the moral effect caused
throughout the country by the govern
ments success.
Signor Picarso, the Italian Consul. has
had his patent withdrawn for having
sympathized with the revolutionary party.
This is the second case of the kind.
A number Of Cinnamon were recently
forced by the police authorities to work az
cleaning the streets. The Chinese Envoy
protested against this action, and the
men were Immediately released, An or
der was also issued that Chinese be
treated upon the same footing as the most
favored nation.
AN EARTHQUAKE.
A strong shock of earthquake was felt
at Lima on the 10th instant but no
damage has been reported.
HuachO has been occupied by govern
ment troops and order restored.
Gen. Caceres is at present a fugitive,
lying from place to place, but still doing
all In his power to iDjure the established
government. All his officers who were
captured will be tried by court-martial.
1t is evident that no sympathy is felt in
Peru for Gen. Caceres.
Marquis Desallenay, the French Minis
ter, was officially received at Lima on the
10th instant.
The condition of affairs throughout the
republic seems to be remaining at the
normal standpoint.
CHURCH AND STATE IN CHILLI.
The great question at present in
Chilli is the definition of the relations
between the Church and State. There
has been a good deal of discussion
on the subject in Congress, but liberal
IDEAS seem to prevail. Complete separa.
ton OF the government and church seems
probable.
The Chamber of Deputies has approved
of an arrangement for the arbitration of
the claims OF German and Belgian sub
Jects, arising from the late South Pacific
war. Peace is apparently about to be re-
stored to the much agitated republic.
There has been an attempt at revolu-
tion in Nicaragua. The fact is remark
able, as the government is purely Repub-
llcan and the actual President has not
completed his first legal term.
In Guatemala also there has been a
small revolution, which originated on the
frontier of Sacorusco, Mexico. 1t was
quickly repressed, and order now reigns
throughout the State.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Frank H.
Mason, United States Consul st Mar
seilles, has sent to the Department of
State translation from La Seamphore,
newspaper of that city, relative to the
European harvest this year. La Seam
phOre, in summing up the situation, says:
1.-The harvest of 1854 has been plentiful,
not only IN America, like last year, but
also in Europe. The situation is nearly the
same as that of 1882, with the differ
ence that there existed then no
large available surplus from the preced-
ing crop, a circumstance which must now
be taken into serious consideration as a
consequence of the remarkable crop of
1882. We may beside observe that even
If the present crop is by 10 to 30 per cent.
inferior to that of 1882, Europe and this
should be kept in mind will stand in less
need than last year for foreign products.
There is no probability that the prices of
cereals will rise to the rates of two years

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-It is said here
in Washington by Democrats who visit
New York quite often and confer with the
party managers there that Representative
5. 5. Cox will probably be the Democratic
candidate for Mayor of New York city.
He is a Tammany man and the choice of

always been popular with all the party
factions, Notwithstanding his undOubted
loyalty to Tammany. Now, it is under

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Sept. ga new
suit has been brought in the courts of this
city by Father Stack, the Roman Catholic
priest, against Bishop O'Hara, because
of the Bishops continued refusal to rein
state the priest in his professional office.
The present suit has created
much surprise, iHasmuch as it
was supposed that the former diff
terences had been settled at Rome. About
year ago Father Stack visited the prOpO-
ganda, and was recognized in his priestly
capacity by being permitted to celebrate
mass in st. Peters. However, after his
return to America the Bishop still OBJ
jected to giving him an appointment un-
less he would sign an apology for having
sought redress in the civil courts and re-
nOunce all right to invoke their aid in
the future, and also retract the position
advanced in the controversy. This was
declined by the priest. The subject at
issue has been twice before the Supreme
Court of the State, and the parties have
been contesting for more than twelve
years.
