OBITUARY.
William Astor, One Of the wealthiest Cit
izens in tho United States.

William Astor, One Of the wealthiest Cit
izens in tho United States.
PARIS. April 26.-WillIam Astor died last
night. at the Hotel Liverpool. Mr.. Astor
had been i'll only few days. The immedi-
ate cause of death was the rupture of an
aneurism. The body will be enbaIned to.
morrow. and on Saturday will be placed on
board of o steamer which will convey it to
New York. Mr.. Astor was the father of
Mrs j. Coleman DraytOn, and was greatly
worried over the Borrowe-Fox- Milbnnk
scandal in which she was involved. Next
to his nephew. William Waldorf Astor, and
probably Jay Gould, MIR. AstOr was tho
richest Citizen of America. His wealth
was recently estimated at between fifty
and sixty million dollars. the greater part
of which is invested in New York real es-
tate.
William Astor was the son of William B.
Astor and grandson of the original John
Jacob Astor. the man who laid the founda-
tion for the vast Astor fortunes. The orig.
inal Astor came to this country when q
boy. with no means or friends. He began
business In q very small way on his own
account by trading with the Indians for
furs He opened a small establishment in
Wall street. and bis business steadily in
creased. After fifteen years of hard work
he accumulated fortune of $3.50 COO with
which ne extended his operations into the
Hudson Bay Company. Then he went into
the general foreign trade, particularly that
of cheese, and made great sums OF money.
With part of this he purchased New York
real estate. which he and his family kept
until it was enormously valuable HIS son
ana only heir was William b. Astor tborn
1892, died 1879, who added TO his fathers
great fortune. and left it. then amounting
To $4,000 co., to his two sons. John Jacob
Astor and William Astor. who died yester-
day. The former was the father of William
Waldorf Ast0r. ex-minister to Italy.
William Astor. who during the life of
his father. was completely Overshadowed
by him. has always been more or less in the
background 80 tar as public prominence
was concerned. He was only recognized
by reflected light of his wife, who. since
the death of Mrs. John Jacob Astor sew
eral years before that of her husband, has
been the acknow led ged leader of New York
fashionable society. For many years the
influence of Mrs. William Astor in society
matters has been all powerful. She has in
fact been the sole arblter of the fate
OF those who have sought TO gain
admittance to the inner circle or the creme
de la creme. as Ward NcAllister calls it.
Her predecessor had been Mrs. John Jacob
Astor. her sister-iC-law, and after tho lat
ter's death 1t was natural that she should
assume the scepter, the wife of William
Waldorf Astor not being recognized by her
as entitled to take the lead.

his supporters To do what they
can for Mr.. Duffy. The latter
gentleman is young man of much abil
ity and wide acquaintance in the valley,
and would run remarkably well. As the
two men are of opposing political parties,
il is expected that Mr.. Holmes and Mr..
Duffy's candidacy will help, rather than
hinder, each other. The PawtuXet Valley
