OF GOOD STOCK.
Mr.. Rogers Advanced to the Front
on His Merits.


Charles Stuart Rogers was born at
Plymouth, n. H., August IL, 1885. He
was the son of Nathaniel Peabody ROg-
ers, one of the conspicuous figures at
the bar of the state, and a lineal de-
scendant in the tenth generation Of John
Rogers, the martyr. One of the early.
presidents of Harvard university was in
the direct line OF his ancestors. His
mother was one of the nine daughters
of Judge Daniel Farrand, Of NeWbury,
VT. He was educated at Concord and
at Dartmouth, where his father was
publisher Of the Herald of Freedom and
the Anti-Slavery Standard. In 1851 he
removed to Ohio. ana was for time q
reporter on the Cincinnati Commercial.
Leaving the newspaper business to
study telegraphy, Mr. Rogers entered
the employ of the Little Miami road as
an operator, and was subsequently pro-
noted to superintendent or telegraph,
train dispatcher, and finally superin-
tendent OF the railroad. At the break
ing out OF the war he enlisted, but in
stead of being sent to the front, was
assigned by Secretary OF War Thomas
A Scott to remain i'll the telegraph
service on the railroad, where he
continued until 1872, when he was
married to daughter of tho
late E. f. Drake, of st. Paul,
then a member of the Ohio legisla-
ture. They removed. to st. Paul in 1872,
and Mr.. Rogers, with Major Il. Il. Will
son, formed the firm of Rogers & Will
son, which was afterwards changed to
Rogers, Willis IL Co., and again TO
Rogers & Ordway. 1t still exists as the
Crane IL Ordway company, the name OF
Rogers having been Withdrawn when
he organized the Northwestern COrdage
works, although the deceased still re-
tanned an interest in the house. In 1891
Mr.. Rogers was honored by his business
associates with the presidency Of the ST.
Paul JObOers' union.

No Reason for the Act.


No Reason for the Act.
S. NJ. Allison, general manager of the
cordage works, was seen at the Ryan
last evening. Mr.. Allison could give no
explanation as to the cause for the sui
eide. The affairs of the company, OK
which Mr.. Rogers was president, were
in the very best condition, as were
other enterprises with which he was
interested. There was not, Mr.. Allison
said, the least hint of financial trouble,
and tue only conclusion that could be
arrived at was that Rogers had become
insane from overwork. For the past
week he had been consulting with an
architect in the preparation OF plans
for new residence TO be erected OIL
Summit avenue, and at the time he was
seized with the insane freak was sup
posed to be on hts way to West st. Paul
for a conference with a contractor rel
atiVe to the proposed building. Mr..
Allison said the letter directed TO him
which was found in the buggy was of
private nature, and nothing in 1t would
throw any light on the cause for tho
suicide.
