The young man and his brother Clar-
ence have been spending their vacation
in Europe, dividing their time between
their mother and stepsister, the Prin-
cess Colonna, both Of whom reside in
Paris. The death Of the young man
was caused by an accident, due to d
too daring disposition. For some days
he and two friends, Messrs. Lynch and
Digby, had been trying some horses,
which they had lately purchased, over
hurdles and ditches On a course laid
out by Mr.. Mackay on the estate OF the
Duke of Grammont, in the department

President selected him for the respon-
sible diplomatic post at Rome Man,
think that he bears a very strong per.

Wales, although he is a larger and

he married the eldest daughter of the
late William Astor. She died six years
afterwards. He has three children
who are being educated in Europe.
The rumor from London that Charles
D. Rose is likely to withdraw his chal.
lenge for the America cup. owing to
opposition in England to his plans, and
particularly to the complaints Of Lord
Dunraven, excites very little comment
here. The New York Yacht Club cares
very little about the matter, as there
is member Of the Royal Yacht Squad
ron who is ready to challenge If Rose
backs out. Just now, perhaps, owing
to the Venezuela dihiculty, the fame
already ignited between the sporting
men Of the two countries is likely to be
famed into a hercer blaze. Americans
are not disposed just now to act in a
very compromising spirit, and the good
temper that has hitherto been showed

and his commercial supremacy and

threatened by American competition.
There is doubtless good excuse from
his own standpoint for his loss Of tenn
per, but it will cut very little ice in
the present atmosphere Of the republic.
1t Is certain that the local politician
has never witnessed more complicat-
ed and amusing political campaign than
Is at present drawing to an issue. The
result, according to the best source of
information, is likely to prove the eter-
nal vitality Of machine politics, or else
the natural tendency Of independent
movements to backslide into the regu-
lar party traces. AS a matter Of fact,
political bossism was never at lower
discount. but the tendency is neverthe-
less apparent for the old party organ
tzations to resume their destined sway.
The fruits of reform will not be lost,
however. Mayor Strong and Mr. Roose-
velt have made a permanent mark al
ready upon local government, and they

tive island. His parents came to Amer
lea when young Anthony was very
young, and settled in Troy.
Early in life young Brady was fully
convinced that he must make his own
way, and he set about the task with q
degree Of determination and enthusi-
asm which almost won the battle at
the outset
When fourteen years Of age he be-
came connected with the Delavaz
House, in Albany, in an humble posi-
ton, and soon after opened a retail
tea store on South Pearl street. In very
short time there were other tea stores
with the Brady sign over their front
doors, and in a few years there were
not many others in the city. Gradually
he reached out to adjoining towns and
soon controlled the tea trade Of this
part Of the State.
But this field was not broad enough
for the restless and uAtiring spirit
Of this aggressive young man. The
streets Of Albany were then paved with
cobbls pavement A movement was In
augurated to pat In new sewers and q
decent pavement. Mr.. Brady immedi-
ately became a contractor, and for
many years he controlled nearly all the
work Of this description which was
done In Albany. He built sewers and
laid pavement by the mile, and soon
became the owner OF an immense stone
quarry from which the paving blocks
were cut.
Fifteen years ago Albany had q gas
company which was struggling along
70 M, 70
old system. Mr.. Brady's keen eye saw
that there was money to be made in
this business by introducing new meth
DDS and cutting OF useless expenses
He quickly mastered the subject, and
very soon had controlling interest in
the company. His operations were
then extended to Troy, where the same
condition Of affairs prevailed. Senator
Murphy, Governor Flower and Mr.. e.
c. Benedict became associated with Mr..
Brady in the development of these en-
terprisss. but to Mr.. T~ady's great
ability al manager is their success
chiefly due. More recently Mr. Brady
turned his attention and directed his
energies toward reorganization and
consolidation Of the Chicago gas COM
panies. This plan met with opposition
from the Standard Oil Company, but
under the skilful and able management
of Mr.. Brady 1t has at last proved
successful, and tie consolidated stock
has now been listed in Wall street and
has risen more than twenty points In
value.
When it become evident that cleo
trieity must soon supercede Kas for
ton to this subject and quickly mas
tered it. He studied electricity and be-
came an expert In volts and amperss.
In 1oed his company secured q contract
for lighting the streets Of Albany, and
1t proved to be a very profitable one.
1t is now said that Mr.. Brady sna his
The Washington bee., 1895-11-02

associates control q new discovery In
lighting by electricity which opens un-
limited possibilities.
Ten years ago Mr.. Brady's attention
was directed to the wretched horse
railroad system Of Albany and Troy.
and he Immediately commenced oper-
ations which have resulted In a com
plete reorganization of the entire sys-
tenn of both cities, including the West
Troy line, which connects the two. and
is a very lively competitor with the
belt line steam railroad.
Soon after his first electrical success.
which might have truly electrified capt.
talists had they known what was TO
come, Mr.. Brady formed in Albany
company for the construction Of street
railways, based on patents for the lay
ing Of q peculiar framework, with con-
meeting joints between the rails. The
patents were tried in Albany.
Here, too. interesting developments
followed. Mr.. Brady's company was
employed to put down the new patent
track on the street railway in Harlem,
now known az the Huekleberry road.
The company put down the track, but
couldn't get any pay for 1t. So 1t had
to take the road itself in payment. This
read was then reorgani1ed, and with 1t
were consolidated several small lines,
and the Hon. E. A. Mahar, Of Albany.
was placed In charge. Although not so
successful az was predicted. the road Is
destined to become a very valuable
property az the population on Its line

Other large railroad operations In
New York city, Brooklyn and Provi-
dence, r. l., have more recently en-
crossed the attention Of this prosper
Gus Albany boy, and in one Of these .
few months ago Mr.. Brady drew 3
cheek for 31,000,000. 1t is said that in
two days time he consummated the
deal for the purchase Of the Providence
lines, which have been capitalized at
1T, ,00o, 900.
And with it all-interests 50 diverse,

man-Anthony Brady Is as cool as .
cucumber. For transaction In mil
lions he never turns a hair; let one Of
his children be i'll, and he Is unified
for work and hurries home from his
office.
Early in life Mr.. Brady married Miss
Marcia A. Myers, daughter Of promi-
nent Vermont lawyer, probate judge.
His home is still in the three story red
brick building in Willett street, AL
bany, where he has lived for many
years. His wife and children, two boys
and four girls, whom he holds dearer,
his friends say, than all else in the
world, pass peaceful, happy lives In
that modest dwelling which looks out
over Washington Park

One of the most beautiful homes

is that of Governor Morton at Ellerslie.
With their accustomed 1berality, the
Governor and Mrs. Morton have thrown
open their home for a loan exhibition.
which is organized in the interests Of
the Free Library Of Rhinebeok. The
details OF this work were in charge OF
Miss ldella Morton, and nothing was
lacking to make the affair a brilliant
success.
Contributions to the exhibition were
not confined to people Of social prom
inence, but the public at large took q
deep interest and OF course made 1t
a remarkable success. It Is impossible
to read here list of the relics that
have been on exhibition; but among
them may be mentioned family por-
traits. rare laces, old china, gold and
silver ware and exquisite gowns, many
of which have never before been loaned
Perhaps the most highly priced relic
at the exhibition was q bit Of drapery
loaned by Mrs. Archibald Rogers, and
which was formerly the property of
Marie Antionetts. 1t IL said to have
covered the altar before which she
knelt.
The executive mansion at Albany,
which is the Governors Official resi-
dence, has undergone q thorough reno
walton during the absence Of the fam
lily this summer, and is now nearly
ready for occupancy. Many important
improvements have been made by the
Superintendent of Public Buildings. and
it has been made in all respects suit
able home for the Governor Of this
great State.
The good old custom of ornamenting
the Albany Common Council chamber
with Oil portraits Of all the Governors
Of the State is happily to be continued,
and Mr.. Morton is now being painted
by a great artist. The city limits it's
appropriation for this work to 81, 900 for
each picture, but Governor Morton, it
Is understood, will see that no consid-
GRAFTON of economy are permitted to
interfere with the artists last work
The painting will soon be completed
and will be hung beside that of his pre-
decessor, Governor Flower.
