CHICAGO March lS-After an illness of
several weeks, J. Young Scammon, one of
Chicagos most noted pioneers, died at his
residence in this city yesterday, from a COM
plication of bronchitis, influenza and
stomach troubles. Mr. scammon was in his
nth year, and had lived in Chicago since
1853. He was one Of the hardest and most
successful workers for the citys prosperity.
and WAS prominently identified with many
enterprises of a religious, charitable educa-
tional and progressive nature. As lawyer.
fnancier and politician he was always a
leading character, and there are few men
whose demise will be mourned by q larger
circle of earnest friends Notwithstanding
his death was directly due to acute disease,
he had lived to a ripe ami honorei age, and
until the asperities created by events of his
active and aggressive public career hal dis
appeared.
His Settlement in Chicago.
After receiving his lucation in his native
state-Maine, where he was born July, Il.
lSl2-he went on a tour of observation
through the west, reaching this city in
September, 1855. He could not see any-
thing here to induce him to stay and was
about to pursue his journey when Henry
Moore, an attorney and deputy clerk of the
Cook county courts, called on him to engage
his servl.es TO assist Col Richard j. Hami-
ton. the clerk, in Moore's absence. Mr..
Scammon accepted the position ani entered
upon his duties.
His Public and Business Career
lie soon became interested in the growth
of the city, and in 1S47 was the leading
spirit i'll the building of the Galena and Chi
cago railway, the first successful railway
west of Lake Michigan. At one time he
saved tue financial credit Of the company by
raising funds on his own private responsi-
bl lty. In 1887 Mr. Scammou was made at
torney of the State Bank of Illinois; in 1899
reporter of the supreme court of the state,
which position he held until ls45. His first
volume of reports was the first published in
Chicago. He always took an active part in
national politics, but was never an office
seeker. He was first Wing and then Re-
publican, of which party he became a lead
ing member. He was an ardent friend OF
public schools and was instrumental in hay-
ing provision therefor inserted in the first
city charter for this city The great fire
seriously crippled him, but he had overcome
his difficulties In great degree before his
death

WASHINGTON, Jan. ESPECIAL telegram

McClernand were mainly inspired in ex-

at least if not permanently. During the
past ten days an enormous pressure has
been brought to bear on President Harri-
son to allow General McClernand to retain
his Office und1sturbed. A petition signed
by every member of the Illinois legislature,
irrespective of party, has been filed with
the President,
ASKING, THE GENERALS RETENTION.
Three Republican Senator's, Cullom and
Farwell, of Illinois, and Teller, of Colorado,
have also seen the President in General
Netherlands behalf, and several days ago
Representative Springer, of Illinois, left at
the White house another petition signed by
the state delegation in Congress, also pray
ing that the general be left undisturbed :
More than this, the eastern press, par
ticularily in New York, Boston, Chicago
and ST. Louis, have within the past few
days had considerable to say regarding the
matter. Their dispatches and editorials
have all been very friendly to the old
veteran and these, too, have been laid by
the iatter's friends before General Harri-
son. The President, in view of these in
fuences, finds himself in an embarrassing
position, and from his recent utterances
upon the subject the deduction is drawn
that General McClernand will in the
future be let severely alone.

was bent on some enterprise of great pith

commensurate with his ambition and finances,
went down the steps to the office On enter

at desk, on the leaf of which was one law
book, obsolete and borrowed from friend,
and a bundle of papers relating to bygone
case, and which were thus placed to impress
the clients when they came, but who were
accommodating only in the minds eye. The
lawyer, hearing the football of the newcomer,
busted himself with the papers, in the anx-

him which would enlarge his finances
The Irishman, who was evidently disap-
