MICHAEL II. SIMPSON.

Death OF the Aged Boston Millionaire.
BosToN, MASS, December 22.-Mlchael
II. Simpson, of this city, best known as
the possessor of fortune Of $4,000, 900
or $l2,O00,0O0, died to-day Of heart
disease. He was horn of poor parents in
Newburyport, seventy-hve years ago, and
came to Boston when boy. He laid the
foundation OF his 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 French Canadian
named Coulard, who agreed to undertake
the task. He went to work, but was SO
slow that Mr. Nichols gave up the pros
pect on account Of the expense. Mr..
Simpson, who was having some ma
chinery built at Coulard's shop, be-
came interested in the Canadians
models and purchased the invention.
He took 1t to England and sold
1t for 100000. That machine was the
same on general principles as those now
used for the same purpose. The millions
have since been piled up for Mr.. Simpson
by the Jacksonville mills and the Roxbury
Carpet Company, both great establish
ments being contracted by him. The bulk
of his fortune was
MADE BY A MASTER STROKE
during the war. In the early months Of
the contest, when business of all kinds
was greatly depressed, his partners sug-
gested that they, like others, should cur
tail production. Looking out of the win
dows of his great carpet mills, Mr.. Simp-
son asked,
"How much land is there In that vacant
tractp"
So many thousand feet was the reply.
every WE'LL" replied Mr.. Simpson, "to.
morrow we will begin to build q ware.
house to cover 1t. Then we will make
carpets to the full capacity OF our ma.
chinery. When that storehouse Is full we
will build another and I'LL It," This pol.
Icy was followed and when the Inflated de-
mand and prices Of year or two later
arrived, the concern put an immense
quantity OF goods on the market at the
highest figures. Mr.. Simpson was twice
married. The second time about four
years ago to q woman nearly fifty years
his junior, who survives him. The wed.
ding Is remembered on account OF the I'M
preston created by Mr.. simpsons gift TO
his bride Of 81 900, 900 In bonds.

NEW LONDON, Conn, December o.
About half past twelve O'Clock yesterday
morning, during heavy snow-storm, the
steamer Bristol, Of the Fall River Line,
en- route to Fall River from New York,
struck IN unknown sailing vessel while
coming through the race. The sailing
vessel was lost sight Of, and the Bristol
anchored of the south side OF Fishers
Island. At daylight she steamed for this
harbor, arriving at half past eight o'clock,
and reported the collision. The Bristol
struck the other vessel Just forward OF
the foremost, and a piece Of the jib stuck
10 the steamer.
On examination OF the Bristol, It was
found that her false bow was stove In to
the wood end. Her water-tight compart.
ment, however, prevented her from sink.

InhAling Foul Air.

FAYETTEVILLE, N. c., December e.
The inhalation Of an irrespirable gas,
produced by burning coal in the Metho.
dist Sunday-school Chapel here, yester-
day morning, produced among the teach
ers and children condition of partial
sufocatlon. Some fifteen children and a
few OF the instructors fell from their
seats, PROSTATE and fainting, presenting
fearful spectacle. But for the prompt
action OF Others in admitting fresh air,
fatal results must have ensued. Z. r.
Thompson, for forty years pastor and
librarian, is yet seriously ill, and may
not recover.

limited time they had to remain in Albany

was spent to the best advantage.
There was nothing In the nature OF a
direct Cabinet conference In the informal
talk between the three gentlemen, though
the visit was the outcome OF an expressed
wish on the part Of Governor Cleveland
to meet the Southern Senator. Mr.. Gar
land was personally not known TO
the Governor, and 1t was because OF
this circumstance that Senator German
came up. Mr.. Garland felt that 1t would
be awkward to call upon the President
elect and introduce himself, 80 the Sena-
tor from Maryland was pressed Into serv-
Ice, and did the Introductory honors of
the occasion. The Governor and the eX-
Governor, for Senator Garland was at one
time Governor OF Arkansas, spent three
hours together and, 1t Is said, parted
MUTUALLY PLEASED WITH EACH OTHER.
Your correspondent is In position to
state, on the highest authority, that there
was no direct tender Of Cabinet port
folio TO Senator Garland. Such views as
Governor Cleveland had already formu-
lated, touching the new administration,
were already known to the Senator and
the visit was one OF pure courtesy; the
visit Of representative Democratic Sem
ator to his President-elect.
That Mr.. Garland can have the Attor.
ney-Generalship, there Is said TO be no
doubt, though thus far there has been no
formal offer OF this or any other Cabinet
Office. The condition and need Of the
South were incidentally alluded to, and
what little political talk there was, was
in that direction. Both Senator'S said
goodbye at six O'Clock, and were driven
back to the depot and left at once on the
South-bound express.
The visit was hurried one, Just as that
OF Senator Bsyard's was, but there was
not the slightest attempt at secrecy In it,
The steady fall Of snow and freezing fall
OF rain at night kept the Governor close
prisoner at the Executive Mansion all day.
The usual attendance at church was omit
ted.
There were but few visitors, and in the
afternoon John X. Mclean and his young
bride drove out 10 the. mansion and made
quite long call. The Sunday visits Of
the Governor to the Executive Chamber
have been quite given up, and now
Colonel Lamont sits there alone In the
