CORNELIUS VANDERBILT.
The Head Of the We ATHEIST Fam
lily in America.
Wherein He Differs from His Brother,
william X, Whose Name Is in Every
body's Mouth just Now-His
Vast Fortune.

The man from whose councils much
Is expected in unraveling the tangled
skein of William X. Vanderbilt's do
nestle affairs is Cornelius Vanderbilt,
the head of the family. He is alto
gether different stamp of man from his
gay brother. Cornelius is churchman
and is foremost in every good and
charitable work in New York city. In
business he seems to have inherited
the genius of his grandfather, the com.
modore, for whom he was named.
Cornelius is the oldest son of William
II. Vanderbilt. He was born on Staten
Island November %, 1S43. He received
as thorough an education as could be
gained from tutors and in private
schools until he was sixteen years old,
when the hard, practical business sense
of his grandfather, instilled into the
mind of William H., his father, was
brought to bear upon the young mans
training and he was put at work as a
clerk. His father obtained for him a
position in the Shoe and Leather bank
of New York city, and at an age when
other boys of his station in life were
thinking of entering college the future
millionaire was performing laborious
Office duty. But he served faithfully
and soon mastered the work required
of him. John NJ. Crane of the Shoe and
Leather bank, said of Cornelius years
later: Il do not see much of Mr.. Van
derbilt, as our paths lie apart, but
when he was here he was, think, the
most single-mindcd and conscientious
worker | ever saw. Hewas not merely
hOneSt-most bank clerks are that
but he was intellectually precise and
worried il cent were missing in the
accounts. lie was thoroughly fair
minded, too, and always did exactly as
he agreed, showing in every way not
only careful bringing up but a kindly
nature"
One of Cornelius uncles going to Eu-
rope for the commodore invited the lad
to accompany him and agreed to pay
his expenses. The young clerk saw a
rare chance and applied to the presi-

dent for leave of absence. Eyes, you
may co." was the answer, but of
course you will lose your salary for the
two months" The future owner of
millions found that this would be 500,
whereupon he Immediately discarded
the temptation and remained at his
desk through the hot summer. Cornelius
remained in the Shoe and Leather
bank three years, and in 1866, when he
was twenty-one years old, he entered
the treasurer's office at the Grand
central depot. Cornelius, like William
K, was put at the bottom of the cler-
ical ladder and was compelled to learn
the tedious routine of the business. In
1867 he was made treasurer of the New
York & Harlem Railroad company.
This position he held for one year,
when he became vice president of the
road. He served In that capacity until
1886, when he became president. He
was made president of the Canada
Southern railway in 1883, and after the
death of his father in 1885 he became di-
rector in thirty-four different railroad
companies. Mr.. Vanderbiltis trustee of
many of the charitable, religious and
educational institutions of New York.
Among his benefactions was the gift of
a building in New York city for the
use of railroad employees. He contrib
uted 500, 900 to the Protestant Episco-
pal cathedral. Mr.. Vanderbiltis also
patron of art and he donated to the
Metropolitan museum of art collec-
ton of old masters and Rosa Bonheur's
Horse Fair" His home on Fifth av-
enue is-one of the handsomest private
residences In the world. Mr.. Wander
bits fortune is estimated far above
the One-hundred-million mark, but
to capitalize his income on a fair
interest basis it would represent
nearly $500, OOO,OO Mr.. Vanderbilt ap.
plies himself closely to business and
personally directs the many railroad
enterprises of which he is the head. In
manner he is quiet but affable, entire
" free from affectation and is to the
world thorough-going business man.

Une long narrow she'll, and by means
of it can work their way through the
sand with astonishing rapidity. Even
IL you approach so carefully that the
jar of your football doesn't alarm it,
and if by quick movement you seize
the projecting end, you are not likely
to pull out the clam though you crush
the end of the shell in your fingers.
The late Prof. Fuller, of the Natural
History society, told story about these
clans shortly before his death. He was
walking on the beach on the Cape
shore in the winter, and seeing several
razor shells projecting above the sand,
crept forward carefully, and with the
utmost caution got within reach with
out alarming the shy, agile mollusks.
Then he made a quick grab. He didn't
get the clam, neither did the clans dis
appear. They were all frozen solid.
wnere Men Are Drudges.
The domestic duties and drudgery
which in most countries devolve upon
the feminine portion of the community,
are relegated to men in eastern Bengal.
There the ladies enjoy all the freedom
and privileges. While the woman goes
abroad on business bent, the man stays
at home to mind the children, clean
the house and cook the dinner against
the return of his better half A will
can not, it seems, be made there in
favor of a man. Property only descends
through the women, who thus rule it
over the lords of creation with very
high hand.-Boston Globe.

death DUE TO AN ACCIDENT.
That Was the Finding of the Coroner's
Jury in the Case of Henry
Peel, of Providence.

An inquest on the death of Henry
Peel, a mine laborer killed in the Cay
uga mine Friday morning last, was
conducted in the arbitration room at
the court house last might by Coroner
Kelley and the following jurymea:
James GiIbride, John Farrell, John
Brown, Michael Ford, Steven Gala
CHER and William Murphy, A verdict
was rendered to the effect that Peel
came to his death by being struck on
the head with Il mine prop, the fall of
which was caused by a blast.
Considerable interest w0s attached
to the case by reason OF rumored trou-
bic between the deceased and his
miner, William Farley, owing to the
fact OF another laoorer being employed
by the latter in Peel's stead for several
days preceding the accident. Farley
was present ut last night inquest and
made u voluntary statement to the
jury, though Coroner Kelley told him
he was not obliged to testify.
Early stated that his relations with
tho deceased had been friendly and
on the morning Of tho accident he told
Peel he was willing for him TO return
to work, although the new laborer had
already commenced work in Early's
chamber. This statement was sui
stantiated by Patrick Bennett, miner.
Tho further testimony of Louis
Jones, fire boss, AMI "A score Of wit
nesses showed that EARLY and Peel had
been at work in the chamber preparing
a blast. When ready to fire, Early told
Peel 10 remove tho tools and seek a
place of safety. Peel left the chamber
and EARLY applied the match. After
the explosion Peel was found by Early
lying near n prop with bis skull frac-
tured. He lived but q few moments.

Almsra ]. Webb Says the Carey Pira-
phsrnalia Belong to Her.
Almera ]. Webb yesterday obtained
a writ of replevin. through Attorney
George W. Beale, to recover possession
of canvass and circus paraphernalia
which it is alleged are unlawtully held
by o. S. Carey, who is now exhibiting
his circus in this city.
On May II. 1893. Alton ]. Webb, of
Glen Falls, N. Y, ut that time pro.
prietor of u circus, gave a chattel
mortgage for 81, 200 to Almsra J. Webb
on the property.
Subsequently it was sold for $500 to
satisfy claims against Mr.. Webb and
Carey became the purchaser. II is con =
tended that with the property covered
by a chattel mortgage the sale was IL
legal.
Preparations were being made to
have the goods replevined at Albany on
Monday, but Mr.. Cary moved his cir
Gus out Of the state to prevent q prose-
cution by the Gerryites. Mr.. Webb at
once followed the circus to this city.
1t Is probable that the difficulty will
be amicably arranged between the
parties.

HOW MCCARTHY WAS SHOT.
He Was Suddenly Attacked Without
Warning by an Unknown Italian.

-S - SuANNSAJ hA
Warning by m Unknown Italian.
William c. Mccarthy, living in the
rear of 1870 River street, who was shot
in the head by an unknown Italian on
the Barbertown road Sunday evening,
and who is now at the L~aekawanna
hospital, Is not seriously injured.
A TRIBUNE reporter visited the mans
home yesterday and learned the parti-
culars of the shooting. Last Sunday
Mccarthy and his sister-ln-law, Miss
Rebecca Vandyke, went to Barbertown
to attend a birthday party at the house
of a relative. At s o'clock they started
for home, and when they arrived ut o
secluded part OF the road, between Sib-
ley and Midtown, a man whom they
believe to b9 an Italian walked out be-
fore them from the hedge and inquired
where they were bound for. They re-
piled that they were going home.
whereupon he brandished a revolver,
firing three shots in the air and two at
Mccarthy and Miss Vandyke.
One of the charges took effect in Nc
Carthy's head, inficting only u scalp
wound, which. however, stunned him.
The other bullet went through the rim
of Miss Vandyke's hat.
Tho assailant then ran away and has
not since been captured. Officers are
after him.
