The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1886-11-25

Chester Allan Arthur, twenty-frst
President ofthe United States, died at
his house in Lexington avenue at 5
o'clock Thursday morning, at the age
of fifty-six years, one month and thir-
teen days. This sad event was not un-
expected, but the public loss is none
the less deplorable. He was man Of
patriotic motives, OF high and steady
practical wisdom, always faithful to
his own convictions OF right, warm,
gentle and true in every relation OF
life, cordial to his friends, magnani-
nous to his foes, scrupulous in obey
ing his obligations, faithful as q citi-
zen, dignified, just, and conservative
as statesman. He was born for pub
lie affairs and for politics, and though
he was only elected Vioe-President
and rose to the higher office on the
death Of General Garfield, it is not toe
much to say that he was one of the
most successful and meritorious in oul
whole list OF Presidents. He was 8
Republican and partisan, and with
his political ideas he could not have
been anything else, yet he always bore
himself toward the opposing party
with courtesy and respect, as TOWARD
those seeking by different means thu
same end OF good government; anC
thus he had friends everywhere.
Above all, Arthur was an American
strong, broad, catholic, and generous
and every generous heart can join il
the admiration, affection, and sorrow
that will surround his grave.-N Y

FUNERAL OF EX-PREsIDENT CHESTER
A. ARTHUR.
New YORK, Nov. 22.-The last night
of the loving watch beside the bier Of
Gen. Chester A. Arthur, ex-President
of the United States, has passed, morn
ing dawned brightly and the first
rays Of the rising sun stole quietly in
TO the quiet avenue in front Of his
late residence. The closed shutters Of
house and black Grape at the door
were the only signs at that early hour
that deaths sickle had been busy
within. In the house the family and
friends of the ex-President were wait
ing in subdued grief for the hour
when the remains Of the loved father
and friend were to be taken from their
midst forever. Hundreds of sorrow
ing people began to gather at an early
hour, anxious to testify by their pres
ence, the respect they bore to their de-
ceased fellow citizen and former chief
magistrate. Shortly after Z. a. M,
Inspector Steers with Captain Ryan
and 125 police, silently marched into
Lexington avenue followed by Cap
tain Garland and a picked body Of
thirty men from the Broadway squad.
The police were posted along the ave-
nue. with directions to allow no vehic-
les to pass by the house
President Cleveland and Postmaster
General Villas arrived in carriage
direct from the train at 90 a. m. and
entered the house Of mourning.
Many people uncovered their heads

carriage, Shortly after Governor

Mr.. B. S. Pardee, staff correspondent
of the New Haven Palladium and
special correspondent Of the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record and the New
York Commercial Advertiser was in
the city last Friday, He has been
sent out by the managers OF the Gin
cinnati, Charleston &'Chicago railroad
company TO write up the section Of
country through which that road will
pass. He was favorably impressed
with our town and location. Being in
a position to know he tells us that the
c., G. & 9. railroad will certainly be
built, and that it will be completed in
two years. 1t will depend, however,
on circumstances whether it passes
through Johnson City or not He
read paper in ur.hearing that con-
tanned full description Of the coun-
try to be opened up by this road, also
the biologists report of the different
beds of coal aud iron ore found
along the line. We learn from
this report that the Chat
taroi road, line running from Iron
ton, on the Ohio river, to Ashland, KY,
a distance OF 30 miles, complete with
rolling stock, has been purchased by
this company and that they now have
20 miles more under contract that is
to be completed by April 1887. On
the other end Of the line they have a
contract for 80 miles OF road that is to
be completed by Jan. 1887. Track is
now being laid at the rate of a
mile day. When these two contracts
are completed there will only be gap
of little more than 200 miles to build
If the survey recently made is accept
ed by the company we may expect to
see construction begin in earnest with
the early spring.
This will be the most important line
Of railray in the South as it is almost
an air line from Charleston to Cincin-
natl, and passes through the richest
iron, coal and timber lands in North
Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky
While everything is favorable to the
building Of the road through Johnson
City there is a probability that the
route will be changed if this trouble
over the right Of way continues, and
we should put forth every effort to Sc
cure it. III we let this chance 60 we
will never have such another. We
have got to work if we get this road
and if the citizens will do their duty
now in few years they will reap theil
reward.

MALONE, N. Y, Nov. 2O.-The death
of Gen. Arthur recalls the fact that
but two survivors of the Office to which
he was elected are living, Hannibal
Hamlin, who was elected on the tick
ct with Mr.. Lincoln in 1860, and Will
liam A. Wheeler, who was counted
in" in 1876. On March 4, 1881, both
Of these men retired from public life,
the former ending his term as United
States Senator from Maine, the latter
ending his fraudulent term of Vice
President. In spite Of his seventy
eight years Mr.. Hamlin is compare
lively an active man, and struts the
streets Of Washington on the coolest
days Of winter without an overcoat.
Mr.. Wheeler, on the other hand, ten
years Mr.. Hamlin's, has dropped.

public sight and public mind. In fact,
SO deep is his obscurity that it has
been generally believed he was dead
and was so stated by many papers
commenting on the death Of Gen. Ar
thur.

From the Washington Critic.
A Republican, occupying a good fat
Office under the Administration, seeing
hungry Democrat pass along the
street looking for a free lunch, began
to reyile him. The Democrat merely
stopped to reply;
Coward it is not you who revile
me, but the man who gives you the
power to do it.
Moral: To the victor belongs the
spells.

Senator Beck is quite wealthy" says
the Washington correspondent Of the
Cleveland LeddeT. she has made his
money in law and in speculation in Wes-
tern lands He came to Lexington, Ky,
a boy of Is from Scotland, while Henry
Clay was vet alive. He knew Clay quite
well and delights in talking about him.
He practlced law at Lexington in partner
ship with John G. Breckenridge, and be
was, before he entered politics, one OF the
most noted and high-priced lawyers OF the
State. He has practically dropped the
law since ne came to Washington; a.
least you viii not see him addressing the
Supreme Court while the Senate is in ses-
sion, as some of his brother Senators are
won't to do. Scotch-like, Beck saved
money during his practice, and after
the manner Of his people, he invested It,.
He bought lands near Duluth, which
greatly increased in value, and when he
married he took unto himself woman

well. Mrs. Beck is the great-grand-n
OF Gen. Washington, and / think she is
the nearest living descendant of the Pres
ident. Senator Beck's son George is the

which Mrs. Beck brought into the family
was some coal lands near Pittsburg,
which, ] am told, were surveyed by w ash
