The FIELD TRAGEDY.
T" ! Am As Poor As the Day ! Was
Born"
RUINED BY HIS FAV0RlTE SON.
an Honorable Life Story.

Mr.. Cyrus W. Field said on his seventy
fourth birthday. II am as poor as the day
was born" and he was then dying. His
wife had died but few weeks before. his
daughter was also dying. and his favorite
son had ruined him. These are the head
lines to the closing chapter Ia Mr.. Fields
life. He who laid the trst Atlantic cable.
encouraged Morse In perfecting the tsle-
graph, and has been prominent In many
public enterprises since. This expression
Of bis poverty adds deeper pathos TO the
tragic story, and will arouse renewed SYM
patty for the old man, whom the world
has houored for many years for his ster-
ling integrity and public services. and the
close OF whose life Is embittered by the
shame and disgrace Of his eldest son.
Edward N. Field not only robbsd and
deceived his partners and the customers
Of the firm. but he misled and robbed his
swn father. even to the point Of ruin.
The firm OF which Edward was the
senior partner was Field. Lindley. Wiech-
ers d Co., brokers.
Edward was always his fathers favorits
son. His father had always advised him
and assisted him In his business and triee
to insure his prosperity. And so wheI
Edward came to his father not many days
ago and told him that he and his firm
we're threatened with ruin and that he
himself was In danger OF disgrace Mr..
Field At onoe offered TO help him.
Edward did not tell his father the whole
miserable story-how he had systemati
oally deceived his psrtaers. rehypothecat
cd securities and used money intrustedt<
the firm. he did not tell his father that
bis house was wrecked and ruined beyond
help, nor did he tell him OF his own dis
honest doings. He appears merely Il
have disclosed enough to arouse the sym
pathy OF his generous father and to worl
upon his pity sufficiently to get his Offer
Of help.
Cyrus Field. led TO suppose that a com
paratively moderate sum would save biz
sons firm, and that the use OF his securi
ties would enable him to borrow money
enough to tide over the disastrous results
OF unfortunate, but not criminal speeula
items. gave his son the key OF HE strong
box at the safe deposit vsai.s and tole
him to help himself to what be needed tt
carry his hrm through the period ofstorn
and stress.

A NEW RACING SCHOONER.

Something About the Volunteers Steel
Rival.
Yachting circles are now talking about
the steel racing schooner, that Gardner.
the Boston naval architect, has designed.
IN justice to both Messrs. Gardner and
the Herreshoffs, the statement is again
made that, while the idea OF the immersed
section of the 46-footer and 90-footer are
30 much alike. still neither side can be
charged with copying from the other.
Gardner has been at work on the lines OF
his 9O-footer for months, and probably
put the elbow" idea into the immersed
body before tho new Herreshor 46-footer
was ordered. let alone designed.
Both parties, evidently, turned the same
facts over In their minds, and the result
Of their investigation Is that both have
come nearly to the same conclusion. The
Gardner schooner has longer overhangs
than can be found on any boat OF her
length on either side OF the water, being
not far from 124 feet over all. She is
about q feet extreme beam, and has a
draught OF nearly 1915 feet. She is very
easy boat, with beautiful lines. and the
only question OF doubt Is TOO much sail
spread for her power. She is sure TO be
fast on reach and off tho wind, and
should also show up well by the wind.
The question OF balance has been given
much thought, and. as she Is a keel boat.
there will he chance to make compari-
sons with the Volunteer.

At this time. Mrs. Cyrus Field, the be-
loved wife OF the stricken man, and the
mother Of the favorite son. was i'll with
the mortal disease which was soon to
carry her of. Mr.. Field was almost pros
trated with grief and in this new trouble
he scarcely knew what no did. But he
gave his son the key of his strong box,
whore ell his securities were, and told
him TO take what he wished. Edward
Field already held his fathers power Of
attorney, so that he was authorized TO
sign away property for his father.
Instead OF taking portion only OF the
stocks and bonds belonging to his father.
Edward took every single paper. He
emptied the box. II was the act. IL is
charitsb!e to suppose. OF madman. Any
sane man would have known that IL was
like pouring water into n sieve 10 try and
save Field. Lindley, Wiechers & Co.
How much was in Cyrus Fields strong
box could not be learned definitely at
present. There was possibly not more
than two or three hundred thousand dol
lars worth. Cyrus Field has not been
considered very rich man since his
heavy losses In Manhattan in 1877. He
has not been rated as worth more than
three-Quarters OF o million since tee Mail
and Express property and the Washing
ton Building passed out OF his hands. The
latter is now owned by a stock company
In which Cyrus Field owned an interest,
but even the certificates for this invest
ment were taken.
Edward Field took everything belong
Ing to his father that he could lay his
hands on.
And so, as the poor, broken hearted old
man moaned TO friend:
liam as poor as the day I came into
the world"
What Edward Field did with the money
can only be corjectured. II was probably
used to make good the insistent demands
that were being pressed upon him from
customers or brokers who wanted back
securities Of theirs which he had reby-
pothecated. Such a sum, large as II prob
bly, was. would not stave of the firms
ruin for moro than twenty-four hours. 1t
was needless and cruel sacrifice.
Later news adds further tragedy to this
chapter. the wayward sou. Edward NJ.
Field, who wrecked the Arm OF Field,
Lndley. Wiechers h Co. who has stripped
his father, Cyrus w. Field. OF all posses
sions, house ard lands and securities, and
upon whose life there is an Insurance Of

manner he sought to kill bjmse is not
reoited In the papers on which he was
committed TO Vernon House, at Mount
Vernon, as adsngerous madman.
The doctors who committed him were
Allen Fitch. one OF the County Examiners
In Lunacy. and Frank H. Ingram. visiting
physician OF the Hospital for Nervous
Diseases.
In their affldavits the physicians declare
under oath that +. N. Field is lunstic,
dangerous both 10 himself and TO others.
They go into details OF his insane actions,
and, as has been said already, declare that
he has made an attempt upon his own
life.
