NELSON BEARDsLEY DEAD.
He Was the Veteran Bank President
of the United States.

vi WV
AUBURN, N. Y, Jan. 10, 1S94-Nelson
Beardsley, the multi-millionaire and veteran
bank president of the United States, died
at his home in this city at two o'clock this
morning after a brief illness. He was born
in Southberry, Conn, May 80, 1907. The
following year his parents removed to
Scipio, this county, and in 1886 the family
came to this city. Nelson Beardsley was
the eldest of twelve children. seven of whom
are living. Roswell Beardsley, of North
Lansing, the Oldest postmaster in the United
States, having held the office since the early
part of John Quincy Adams first admins
~tration, was the second son.
Nelson graduated from Yale in 1927 with
the degree of A. NJ, in a class remarkable
for the subsequent eminence of many Of its
members, numbering many jurists OF re-
nown, professors and presidents OF colleges,
authors and divines. He commenced the
study of law and in 1880 he was admitted to
practice, Immediately thereafter forming Co
partnership with William H.. Seward under
the firm name of Seward and Beardsley. On
the election of Mr.. Seward as Governor of
the State, Mr.. Beardsley formed a partner
ship with Mr.. John Porter, and the new
firm did a successful business until outside
matters induced Mr.. Beardsley to give up
the practice of law. Since that
time he has been intimately
identified with the various banking
institutions and business enterprises of the
city. In 1913 he was elected President of the
Cayuga County National Bank, and by sue
cessive elections he had continued to hold
the office until his death, On January 8 last
he entered upon his fifty-first year as Presi-
dent. Absorbed in the management of the
bank and interested in various commercial
enterprises, Mr.. Beardsley's life was one of
unbroken financial activity. In 1843 he
was one of the incorporators of the Oswego
Starch factory, and in 1885 he was chosen its
President, which position he has since held.
In 1S49 he was elected one of the original
trustees of the Auburn Savings Institution,
which twenty years later was changed to
the Auburn Savings Bank and of which he
has been for many years the President.
He was interested as a stakeholder in every
other Incorporated bank in the city and is a
director OF stakeholder in many of the local
manufacturing concerns. II bulk of his
wealth which is estimated at seven millions,
is in western railway securities. In 1886 he
was married to Frances Powers, daughter of
the Hon. James Powers of Catskill. She
died in 1854, leaving six daughters, all of
whom still survive. They are: Emily, wife
of Rev. Frederick w. Flint of Winona,
Mimi. Gertrude, wife of William w.
Andrews of Cleveland, Ohio, and Caroline,
wife of Paul C. Woodruff; Alice, wife of
Charles N. Ross; Frances, wife of Charles P.
Burr, and Mary, unmarried, all of this city.
1t is presumed these daughters and the
grandchildren will inherit all Of his wealth.

Tor member of the General Assembly, as the
case may be), according to the best of my
ability
And members-elect of the Senate or Gen
eral Assembly are hereby empowered TO adj
minister to Zach other said oath or affirma-
tom
It is the Senators-elect not the hold-over
Senators, nor the President Of the Senate,
nor the Senate as an organized body, who
are empowered to administer the oath to
each other.
ANXIOUS TO GO TO COURT.
The Democrats are anxious to get the
matter into the Supreme Court, and that, OF
course. will be done by a writ OF man
damus. If Governor Werts refuses to re-
ceive the race track repeater passed by the
Republican House and Senate the Com
mittee on Passed Bills will then take 1t to
the Secretary of State. He, of course, will
refuse to receive it because the require
ments of the law have not been complied
with. that the bill must come through
the Executive Department, even whether
it is signed or not signed. Then the move
win have to be made upon the Governor
by q writ of mandamus compelling him TO
receive the bill because it is a legally passed
bill, and by his refusal he is obstructlng
the machinery of the StaUe Government.
1t will take some time to prepare the argu-
ment, some time to make the argument,
and if it goes into the Supreme Court it
viii mean a long and tedious session of
the Legislature, going into the summer, for
out of it will arise all sorts of legal compli-
cations.
1t can be stated right here as a historical
fact that the Supreme Court Bench contains
five democrats and only three Republican
Judges. The dockets of the court are pretty
well numbered up with political suits that
have grown out of the extreme partisan
legislation of the past three years. The
Court of Errors and Appeals is Democratic
by a large majority, and all the lay members
appointed by the Governor have been Demo-
cratic, and the only Republican Lay Judge
is William Walter Phelps.

sALooNKEEPERs INDIGNANT.
Complaint to BE Made to the Conn
m%issioners of the Police.

missiOners of the Police.
Yesterday was another dry Sunday.
Saloon keepers who disregarded the order to
close, issued the preceding Sunday, were
surprised to find an officer sta tioned at their
doors yesterday. In one instance al officer
was placed in front of a dealers door who is
going otest the right of the police authori-
ties to pursue such a course. The complaint
will be made to the Police Commissioner at
their next meeting.
The dealer who is going to make the test
is one who has obeyed every order issued by
the police. Yesterday he had some business
to attend to, and going to his store opened
the door and lowered the shades SO that he
could see.
''Close your door or I will arrest you,n de-
clared a policeman, who saw that the door
was open.
II will not close it for you or the whole
Police Department" was the reply. "This
place is mine, l own it, I pay taxes on it and
| will give you to understand that | will ask
as mary men ia here as / desire. 1t is none
of your business what [ am doing here. II
you find me violating the law, you can then
arrest me-"
The copper was knocked out. He report
ed the case to the sergeant, and that officer
suggested to the dealer that he pull up the
curtains.
"IH do nothing of the SORT" was the re
ply. Il am not running a show inside, and
| will not pull up the curtains"
Nothing further was said. The sergeant
departed, but the policeman paced up and
down in front of the door from three O'clock
in the afternoon until six o'clock in the
evening. The proprietor is mad, and said
II will find out if l have any rights in this
community and will test the right of the po-
lice to injure my business and my reputation

together
The liquor dealers are swearing vengeance
upon the heads of the many officials who,
they believe, are prosecuting them.
There was one arrest. John Smith of No.
1872 Ninth street, a bartender in Foley's sa-
loon IN Exchange place, was arrested yester-
day morning for violating the Sunday liquor
law. He was held.

STREET AND WATER BOARD.
The Members Uphold Mayor Wanser
-Rusiness Transacted.

HE N1eIADcES OPAOlN NHdyOE w
Business Transacted.
The Street and Water Commissioner
this morning actually took sides with Mayor
Wanser in the fight over the law Offices of
the city.
J. C. Malone & Co., who have been some
what derelict in the payment of water rents,
were. a few days ago, subjected to the an
noyance of having their supply cut off.
This morning they forwarded a
settlement of all back water rents.
The firm refused to pay 800 which has been
charged up against it. The letter accom-
panying the check was referred to the law
officers of the city"
When asked which particular set of officers
was meant, the members in a chorus said
Edwards & Co."
Mr.. Dugan subsequently explained that
Mr.. Edwards knew all the facts in the case
and was better prepared to handle it.
Laborers who were engaged by the Mani
towe School Furniture Company, in placing
seats and desks in School No. 25
complained that they had not been paid.
The Manitowo Company will receive no
money until the mems claims are satisfied.
West Hoboken, through Engineer Moylan,
proposed to the board that in consideration
of building a sewer in Palisade avenue to
North street, through North street to New
York avenue, Jersey City, it be permitted to
connect its Palisade avenue sewer with DER
sey City's. The plan benefits Jersey City
and the agreement was entered into.
The resolution of the Board of Aldermen
requesting the Board to ave the speed of
the trolley cars regulated, and the cars will
to be equipped with some device which
would prevent people from falling under the
cars and being crushed, was filed.
Commissioner Dugan explained that Man
ager Young has been spoken to on this sub
ject, and chat he is only waiting to secure
some good invention with which to equip
the ears. He has also engaged Hspeed men"
who are to be stationed along the line, with
a view to regulating the speed of the cars.
The complaint of fast running will cease, Mr..
Young believes when he is able to secure
more cars to place on all the lines.
Commissioner Cook called attention to the
depIorable condition of Pavonia avenue and
Erie street, caused by the refusal of the
North Hudson County Railroad to change
the grade of both streets under a resolution
passed by the Street and Water Board. Mr..
Dugan reported that he directed
the North Hudson County Company
that, unless it proceeded at
once with the proposed change of grade, the
power to. do so would be taken from them.
The final assessment of the opening of Pavo-
MIA avenue, between Garrison and West
Side avenues, was confirmed. Contracts to
construct sewers in Seventh street and Res
ervoir avenue were awarded to Thomas
Cavanagh and John Hopkins respectively.
The board will meet again Friday morning.

to the effect that about a week ago Clarke
and Rudolph, two prisoners, who were con-
victed and sentenced to the State Prison for
a murderous assault upon Robert Day Of
Bayonne some time in September last, had
a plan to blow down the south wall
of the Jail with dynamite furnished by

had been in the habit Of wishing thernAi iii the
Jail, but after the plot was discovered no

SEWERS FOR GREENVILLE.
Street and Water Board Determined
to Build Them.

The citizens on the west side of Greenyille,
who, for the past five years, have been
petitioning the Street and Water Commits
sioners to provide that section with q proper
yStem of sewerage were overjoyed on Sat
urday, when they received word from the
Commissioners that their last petition, which
was presented to the board last February,
would be granted.
There is not one sewer on the west side Of
Greenville, and for years the property own
ers have been agitating the matter, and two
years age the West Side Citizens and Tax
payers Association was organized to further
the scheme. The association lived only a
year after its organization, but during its
existence a lively fight was made for the
sewers The petition which is about to be
granted by the Commissioner was drafted
by the association, and the members visited
all the property owners in that section, and
induced them to sign it.
The will, in all probability, be built
of brick, and will be five feet in diameter
1t will begin at the intersection of the center
line of Girard, and a line drawn parallel to
the southeasterly side of the Morris Canal,
and distant fifteen feet southeasterly there
from measured at right angles; thence run
ming n%ortherly parallel with said south
easterly side of Morris Canal, and distant
fifteen feet therefrom, measured at right
angles, to the centre line of Danforth ave-
nue.: thence northerly at right angles with
the Morris Canal crossing under said canal
to Newark Bay.
In order to construct the sewer there must
be acquired a fee simple to a strip of land
thirty feet in width, being fifteen feet in
width on either side of the following de-
scribed centre line: Beginning at a point
formed by the intersection of the northwest
erly side of the Morris Canal and a line rum
ming at right angles to said canal as above
described; thence running n~ortherly in a
straight line or course to the water mark in
Newark Bay, which various lines are
necessary for the construction and
maintenance of said main sewer
there being no public street through which
it is feasible and advantageous to the city
to build a main sewer from the said neigh
borhood to tide water, into which the sew
age is emptied, and Newark Bay at that
point being the only proper and feasible OUT
let for the main sewer.
The property on all the following streets
from the County Road to the canal will be
assessed for the improvement:-Girard ave
nue., Pearsall avenue, Noble street, Green
vile avenue, Linden avenue, Danforth ave
nue., Gator avenue, Terhune avenue, McAdoo
avenue, Woodland avenue, County Road
from Girard to MeAdoo avenues, and Spring
street.
The preliminary assessment maps have
been filed by the Street and Water Board,
and on February 5 the board will meet to
hear parties interested in the improvements
and read all remonstrance against the1same
that may be presented in writing.
