was the owner Of farm in Camden, on
which he had done great deal of work him

ments by investment of money. In all his
life he had made ample provision tor him
! self. and those who knew him best can find
no reason to believe the statement that he
starved himself, He left Camden a little
more than month ago. and just before going
away, relatives in this city wrote for him to
| come and visit one of their number who was
ill. Receiving the letter too late to come by
| stage Saturday, he walked to this place,
bringing IN his arms certain medical applian-
ces, and for two DAYS and nights worked over
his friend, trying to secure relief for him.
He refused all compensation for this work
and other assistance, showing his generous
kindness and "care for" his relatives. He
| was shrewd business man, and close man
| ager, taking care Of what he had. but his
| friends believe him to have been no miser
| He was always peculiarly reticent, absolute
| ly refusing at all times to give any informa-
| ton about his own affairs. and would often
| reply to questions with absurd statements,
| which the questioners had to content them
selves with in lieu of the information they
sought. 1t was doubtless this habit which
led to the extraordinary statements published
| concerning the unfortunate man, who was
sick when he left home, as is now known,
| although he said nothing of it until after he
became Frustrated in New York, about three
weeks ago. The official records show the
cause of death to be empyema.
