A SOLID JUDICIARY.

CHICAGO. Feb. 22.-The programme
arranged by the managers of the Union

bration this evening included three
events. At o'clock Clarence Eddy in

BR1ToNs WANT STOCK YARDS.
Chicago's Plant Likely to Change
Hands.

Chicago's Plant Likely to Change
Hands.
The story published in a morning
paper that the Union Stock Yards and
Transit company was about to change
hands and pass into the control of an
English syndicate for consideration
of sS0,0O0,0O0 caused considerable
talk at the company's offices, and
among the commission offices this morn
Ing. Nobody knew how the story orig
mated or who started 1t. George T.
Williams, secretary and treasurer of
the company. when spoken to on the
alleged pending negotiation, said: IL
do not know what started such story,
for there Is absolutely nothing in it.
We would know something about it, if
there was any truth in the story, but
not one of the stockholders have been
seen about any sale. Not one
has been approached that | know
of. We do not know the party said to
havebeen entrustd with the details of the
affair. Two years ago, or whereabouts,
some parties representing eastern cap
italists were in the vicinity asking
prices on the various interests. packing
houses and the like, but the stOckyards
was not included. The whole matter is
simply story. pure and simple" J. G..
McMullin. vice-president of the Chicago
& Alton Railroad. and one of the stock
holders in the Union Stock Yards COM
pany, said this afternoon: IL believe
the published statement that negotia-
tons are pending for the purchase Of
the StOckyardS
BY AN ENGLISH SYNDICATE
Is absolutely correct 1t accOrds pre-
cisely with my information on the SUBJ
ject, except that | understand the price
is $20.000,000 instead of $4,000, 600. The
great bulk of the stock Is held in Bos-
ton, and the stockholders here would
not necessarily have any knowledge of
what was going on until the deal was
consummated. Recent actions of the
stock were alone convincing that
work. Without any apparent
cause it quit its old figures in the neigh
borhnod of par and went up to between
100 and 40. My inquiries as to the
cause brought me the information of a
prospective transfer to an English COM
pany. The deal, as understand it, is,
however, not yet certainty, as the pur-
chasers still have chance to back out
and great many such deals
have reached the point of being
carried across the water only
to fail at the last moment"
John B. Sherman, president of the
stock yards company, admitted tonight
that such deal might be negotiated by
Eastern stockholders without his knOwl-
edge. He added that $50. 600, 600 was, in
his opinion, higher price than the con-
trolling interest held in the East was
worth. Mr.. Sherman was confident
that none of the Western stockholders,
of whom he is the largest, had been ap-
preached in the matter.

validity of congressional or state enact

Jefferson strongly objected and thought
the proper remedy for unconstitu

federal Judiciary. He subsequently
might be reposed in the judicial de-

trainers prescribed the better course in
declining to confer political power upon

that 1t passes upon the validity of laws

the last. He was accomplished, well
educated and of cultivated tastes.
When he returned on Dec. 81
last from trip abroad he had
an attack of the grip, which, however,
was not severe, but, it is thought, hast
ened somewhat his end. 1t did not keep
him from his regular duties, and he was
about the streets and comparatively
we'll until yesterday noon. AT that time
he was in his reading room, just having
taken his lunch, when he suddenly fell
back GREATNESS upon the sofa on
which he was reclining. 1t was 1880
O'clock when servant found him in
this condition. DR.. Morris Asche, the
family physician, was Immediately
called. and pronounced the trouble
heart disease. The patient was revived
somewhat, and remained conscious. but
he subsequently had renewed attacks at
the heart and realized that his end was
near. Soon there gathered at his bed
side his only son, William Waldorf
Astor, Mrs. William Waldorf Astor and
Miss leila Gibbs. the sister-in-law of
the dying man. His only brother, Will
lam, is in Europe. They remained at
the bedside through the night and until
funeral will take place On Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock from Trinity
chapel in Twenty-ffth street. Bishop
Potter, Dr.. Morgan Dix and DR.. G. E.
Swope will officiate. 1t was at this
chapel that Mr.. Astor usually attended
services, and he was formerly a vesIry-
man of Trinity church. Thus passes
away, perhaps, the
RICHEST MAN OF AMERICA:
certainly the head of the wealthiest
family in this country. For over two
years Mr.. Astor had not been quite him
self. In December, 1887, his wife died.
and from that time on there was a no
ticeable change in MN. Among the
benefactiOnS Of Mr.. Astor and his wife
were princely gifts to the Newsboys'
lodging house and the Children's Aid
society. Ten thousand dollars was
given to send street waits to homes in
the West. Schools, too, were endowed
with fortunes by Mr.. and Mrs. Astor.

lHS, WuGu uo ulSus JONI JACOB ASLOf
was the eldest son of the late William
Astor and grandson of the original John
jacob ASt0r, who founded the
FORTUNES OF THE FAMILY.
He was the head of the third genera
about siXty-five years ago. In 1875 his
father died, leaving John Jacob two
thirds share of his estate, valued at
$200,000,000. During the civil war Mr..
Astor went to the front, aud served with
credit as an aide-de-camp to Gen. Nc
Clellan. He married Miss Gibbs, of
South Carolina, who died about two
years ago. He is succeeded by his only
son, William Waldorf Astor, who was
minister to Italy some years ago. John
Jacob Astor the first was born in 1863,
the third son of poor peasants. at Wal
dorf, in Baden, and their name was
usually spelled "Ashdor " Indeed, the
elder brother of John Jacob the first
signed his name Henry Ashdor'' even
after he had come to America. John
Jacob AStor came to America in 1874,
and began with a stock In trade con-
sisting of six flutes and two other
musical instruments. He entered the
employ of furrier in this city, and in a
few months mastered the trade, which
was extremely profitable as carried on
with the Indians. Astor visited the
Canadian woods, going on foot and car
rying in pack on his back baubIes
such as
DELIGHTED THE ABoRIGINEs.
He traded them for furs and carried
the furS home on his back. He made
money, enlarged his business, using
pack sleds and the like, ana in a few
years was doing an immense trade, get
ting the skins for literally nothing from
the Indians, and sending them to the
Orient, where they were exchanged for
most valuable goods. teas. spices. Indian
and Japanese silks and the like. The
profit averaged $4,000 to every cruise,
and when in 1850 the old man died he
left S20,000,000. He founded the Aston
library at the earnest solicitation of
Washington Irving, Fitz Green Halleck
and an old and trusted commercial
friend. He had been extremely Pc
nurious. even to meannesS, and delight
ed in saving pennies even when he was
millionaire. He had had three sons.
The first died babe. The second,
named after himself, John Jacob Astor,
a fine residence on West Twenty
third street at his fathers ex-
pense, and after his fathers
death on the income of fund of $780,
COO set apart for that purpose. That
John Jacob passed away, aged sixty
years, some thirty years ago. The AS
tor millions had been handed down to a
third son, William B. Aston. and he it
was who began the movement for better
tenement houses In New York. When
William B. AstOr died he left the vastly
increased family fortune to his eldest
son, John Jacob Astor the third, who is
