to Cy Leland, Jr., chairman of the Repub-
licau state committee, but belongs to the
Democratic branch of the family.

side that Fred. Waller will be Mr.. Le-
lands assistant. Mr.. Waller is a Repub-
lican, buJ as he WAS also schOolmate of
COMPTROLLER Eckles IL is said that the
latter has been for a long time trying TO

Democrats of Wichita
Mr.. Leland will take charge of the bank
when his bond is approved by Judge Fos-
ter of the federal court He will probably

bank reorganiZsd, but as that result has
not been attained they are glad of the APP
pointment of receiver. II is expected
that a dividend Of nearly 40 per cent will
be declared soon after the receiver takes

The receivership being now settled the
next struggle will be over the position OF

bly, be between Senator O'Bryan and Fred

NOT AN A. Z. A.
Ransom Brown Denies the Report That He
Belongs to Ii.

Ransom Brown, candidate for money or
der clerk III the post office, came to the
EAGLE last night to personally deny Il
street report in circulation TO the effect
that he WAS a mem Der of the anti-Catholic
society known rs the A. T. a. The report
was circulated last fall when Mr.. Brown
was Il candidate for county surveyor, but it
was kept quiet aud after his defeat it died
out and was not revived again till be pre-
scented himself as candidate for post of
fee money order clerk. There are two or
three Catholics on TIE county committee
but they have offered no objections and in
fact do not care much anyway, they say.
Mr.. Brown stated to an EAGLE reporter
last night that he was a member OF the
Episcopal church and that being nearest
TO the Catholic church the members of it
have no sympathy with the \. Z. y.
movement. He wished 30 have the state
meuJ denied, not because he thought it
would hurt him in his candidacy for the
posUoffice bat because he did not want to
have 1t InIimate1 that be was so narrow
in mind as to have prejudice against any
christian sect, whatever.

Manager Clarity of the Portland base
ball team has released Captain Mike
Bradley, the efficient second baseman and
heavy hitter, largely for the purpose oil
reducing expenses, as IL is not deemed ex-
pedient to pay the salary Bradley insists
upon. Harry Smith will come in from
right field and will take his old position at
second base, and Madden, the famou
"kid" ex-pitcher of the Grays, will play
right field. Madden is a good hitter and
good fielder, but the Portland baseball
people feel that he Is not Mike Bradley,
and it is feared that the team will be-
weakened by the change.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-07-25

tho business rapidly developed
until many new buildings and a
continually increasing plant were
necessary. In 1916 Mr.. Hill became sole
proprietor. He obtained a charter In 1867,
and seven years later the company was
regularly organized, with Thomas Jeffer-
son Hill as president and treasurer; his
SON, Albert Hill, as secretary, and Mr..
George Hazard as manager and agent.
Aside from his machine company
Mr.. Hill was largely interested in many
-other-ef-theAarger- manufacturing
concerns OF this and other States. His
business life was one OF the longest,
most active and most useful in Rhode Is
lands history, Companies that are now
important in the commercial and INDUS
trial affairs OF the community were estab-
lished by him and one OF the thriving mill
villages OF the State was founded by and
named after him
In 1859 he started the Bay Mills at East
Greenwich after buying out the Peckham
Company's works, and later on he pre-
ecnted the whole plant to his two sons.
Between 1866 and 1874 he organized the
Providence Dredging Company the Rhode
Island Mallesble Iron Works, and the
Providence Pile Driving and Bridge Com
pany. Shortly afterward he founded
HIPS Grove on the line OF what is now
the Consolidated Railroad, and there
erected q cotton mill of over 20, O00spindles.
This he called the Elizabeth Mill in honor
Of his wife.
Previously to that in 1887 he purchased
the Lee mill at Willimantic n for a num-
Der OF years manufactured thread n
machinery. Afterward he, in company
with Boston capitalists, established the
Bates Manufacturing Company at Lewis
ton, Maine. Here he also erected a foun-
dry and, associated with Samuel w. Kill
vert, constructed all the machinery that
was used in the mills.
In addition to carrying on his many
magnificent business enterprises, Mr..
Hill was identified with public institu-
tions. He has been a member OF both the
municipal and State governments serving
In the Common Council from 1852,
1866 and 1875, and in the Gen.
eral Assembly. He belonged to the
Rhode Island Historical and Agricultural
societies, was president of the Lime Rock
National Bank for 40years, and vice presi-
dent of the City Savings Bank from 1859
TO 1884.
The deceased was married three times,
and by his first wife, Betsy Brown, whom
he married Oct. II, 1926, he had six chill
dren, three of whom died. The first wife
died in 1858, and two years later he mar
ried Olive l.. Farnham, who died In 1866.
In 1869 he married Elizabeth &. Kenyon,
who survives him.
