F. L. CASTLE DEAD.
One of the Best Known
Merchants Gone.
HIS LONG SUFFERING ENDED.
The Pioneer Tea Merchant of the
Pacific Coast-fiis Active and
Honorable Career.

Frederick L.. Castle, senior member of
the firm Of Castle Bros, and one of the
best known merchants in the city, died at
his residence on Van Ness avenue last
evening.
Death came TO Mr.. Castle at the end Of
eleven months of suffering, during which
two operations had been performed on him
to relieve an internal disorder. The last OF
these resulted fatally.
b He was surrounded by his family. The
end came at 8:15 o'clock and before mid
night the sad tdings had reached many of
the leading merchants of the city. whose
relations with the deceased had ever been
OF the most kindly character.
Mr.. Castle was born In London, England.
sixty-four years ago, and emfgrated 10 Can
ada when but Is years OF age. He lived there
until 1850. when he came to this city and en-
gagged in the business OF importing tea, in
which he was eminently successful.
His career was one OF seldom varying
prosperity, and his integrity and I'm osten-
tatious charity made him very popular.
When the merchants Of the city allied
themselves to fight the Southern Pac fic, he
was one Of the most prominent and ener-
getic of the organizers of the Traffic
Association. and just before he was stricken
with his last illness was elected its presi-
dent. He was never able TO discharge the
duties and was honored by the association
with the Office OF second vice-president.
The Bohemian and Pacific Union clubs
carry the name of the dead merchant on
their rolls of membership.
When the Mount Zion Hospital Associa-
ton was formed Mr.. Castle was chosen
president and held the office at the time of
his death
Mr.. Castle never held nor aspired to any
political Office. Eminence in the CONNER
cial fraternity and in social circles limited

Career.

SACRAMENTO Jan. 26.-In the course of

Miller said that the derelictiOn of duty on the

TO consist mainly OF jim Rea having writ

him to be kind enough to state what the
Commissioners had ever done to entitle
them to any consideration.

Commissioners out for derelicton of duty
were proDerly interpreted il meant that an
investigation must be had. The derelicton
OF duty must be determined in that way.
This seemed to be fairly good point,
but Rea's letter had done the work, an.
there was no way OF stemmng the ..ae at
that late hour by a mere legal bubble.

that Rea's Tece-d had been established by
