SHu0el DcutH OF u prominent GU
f@en.-Hon. John S. Combs, of Iona
coming, died at his residence in that
place last Sunday evening of heart
disease. He had been complaining
during the day, but as this had not
been unusual with him, 10 serious APP
prehensions were felt by his family
and friends. About $50, p. M, how
ever, while lying upon q sofa friend
observed that he was seriously i'll.
He died within u few minutes. The
community was shocked by the intel
ligence. Many nelghbors had seen
and talked with Mr.. Combs during the
day, and observed nothing leading
them to suppose that lie was SO near
his end. Heart disease was the i'm
mediate cause of death. He was in
the Goth year Of his age. A native of
Allegany county, he lived here all his
life. He conducted large business
both as a merchant and farmer, and as
the result of careful, methodical,
industrious career, a large estate is left
to his heirs. This includes two large
farms, one in Garrett county, the
other near Mt. Savage, both splendid
ly improved. He was for many years
a director Of the Second National
Bank of Cumberland. In 1877 he was
elected State Senator on the republic
can ticket and served the county ac-
ceptably. The funeral took place
on his Mt. Savage farm at spot
designated years ago by himself. A
large concourse OF friends attended,
including Populations from several
lodges of Masons, of which fraternity
he was a member. He was held in
high esteem throughout the county
and State. His sister, Mr.. Thomas
Deveemon, Of this place, was his near
est living relative. He left a will APP
pointing Maj. Alex. Shaw and Chris
tian Devries, of Baltimore, as exec
utors.

tells his experience thus: "For three years

Electric Bitters the best blood purifier in the

New YORK, Jan. 24-The New York mar

and Northwestern in the lead The bull
movement inaugurated yesterday received a
set back this morning owing to the disheart-
ening effect of the reduction in west-bGund
freights from New York by the trunk lines.
The announcement Of this reduction caused
the London stock market to decline %@lc

home bulls. Accordingly, there was very
little doing during the forenoon, the market
luctuating only A@K each way. A good

things, and were it not for tine untoward
events which are constantly happening, some
Of these better thugs might be realized. 1t
is undoubtedly true that prices are low as
compared with former years. but whether
they are any lower than the gen
eral situation warrants is another
question worth considering. Deacon
Waite says he is buying Northwestern be-
cause he believes in the property and the
same Is true Of many others doubtless. The
boom started in Lachawanna yesterday
did not flourish 50 merrily to-day. All sorts
Of stories about directors and insiders buy

as bad as it could be. It is said the Goa
companies are 10 agree on a mutual plan Of
operations next Monday, leaving the Penn
sylvanla company TO do as 1t sees bit, bu. this
means nothing so long as the price OF coal
continues depressed. The Gould party said
they were glad Of the freight reduction ana

many discouraging stories, tae market

Since the withdrawal BY the Northwestern
of its Sioux City & Pacific and Elkhorn, Free
mont IL Missouri Valley business from the
Western Trunk Line association Ctripartite
com bin atom the pool has been in dormant
state. The Rock Island, Milwaukee & St.
Paul, and Wabash claimed that by that action
the Northwestern ceased to be member Of
the association, while the latter claimed to be
still member as far as its business east of
the Missouri river from Council Bluffs was
concerned. The Union Pacific, also mem
Der of the association, remained neutral in
this contest and allowed both sides to issue
tariffs over its road. Commissioner Vining
refused to act for either on tue ground that
the Northwestern could not be properly con-
sidered out of the pool until proper action in
accordance with the agreement had been
taken. Tnis state of affairs, if allowed to
continue mucn longer, will cause another
war on Nebraska rates, as the complications
between the Nebraska roads are getting more
com piicated every day. 1t being impossible
to make j new agreement, efforts are now
being made to bring about i meeting of the
managers OF the various lines In the associa-
ton and take proper action regarding the
Northwestern's withdrawal of its Sioux City
q Pacific business. The managers of the
Wabash, Rock Island, and Milwaukee IL st.
Paul intend to formally GUST the Northwestern
from tue association and then compel the
Union Pacific To cease to interchange busi-
ness with the Northwestern.
