was Capt Thomas J. Barney, an old ard
weI-known resident of ST. Paul. He was
taken into the feed store near by and Dr.
Murphy summoned, but he died i'll few
moments. and before assistance came.
Capt Barney was native Of Water
town, n. Y, and was 70 years of age,
having been born I eb. Is, 1907. In the
20'S Capt. Barney removed to Newark, o.,
in which state he resided until he removed
to st. Paul, in 1854. Capt. Barney was a
tanner and currier by trade. but after his
removal to Ohio was steamboat
captain and later railroad con-
time the lower Mississippi. In 1882 he
visited Fort Smelling as captain OF craft
bound for that point. For many years he
was an active member of the chamber of
commerce and was for time a member of
the board Of public works. He was largely
interested in real estate in the city and
owned the Commercial hotel property on
Seventh street, his fortune being estimated
at between $3.50, 900 and $780, A will
exists, which was read to the heirs at the
Trust company's office, but its contents,
were not divulged. Capt. Barney was q
man of strict integrity, somewhat cynically
inclined, but respected by all. He lived
much by himself, occupying apartments
over the Boston store On Third street and
living at restaurant. His reply to the
gentlemen who welt to his assistance is
supposed to refer to the number OF his
room. While fond of good living, Capt.
Barney never touched liquors or tobacco.
He was economical in his habits, and to

his wife dying before his removal to Min
nesota. Some ten years ago his daughter
visited here, but her father refused his
recognition because of marriage which
displeased him. From most of his relatives
he had become estranged, through money
transactions, and being of an implacabIe
disposition always refused reconciliation.
1t is understood his will provides for such
of his relatives as he would not recognize in
Q way which secures the document from

Quinby 81 Abbott's, where they will remain
until arrangements are perfected for the
funeral. The body will be taken to his old

toe anei his prose and political compositions

late he has figured himself into some no
torety by fighting the confirmation of eX-
Senator Campbell of Litchfield, as federal
marshal of Minnesota and making specific
charges against Campbell on account of his
connection with the st. Cloud, Mankato
81 Austin railroad. Van Leuven made an
open fight in his paper and is credited with
forwarding the charges to Senator Edmunds
by means or which Campbells appointment
was recalled by the senate after having
been confirmed Van Leuyen claims that
Campbell is not a proper man to appoint
and on that score makes his fight. Camp
BELLS friends accuse Van Leuven of being
a disappointed place hunter, and attributes,
SO they say, his non-success to Campbells
refusal to speak good word for him. His
stay in st. Paul is of brief character.
