A Reminder.

An interesting Renaissance of the
Industrial Army movement was
brought out yesterday in the court
proceedings. The officers of the terri
tory, il will be remembered, secured
an order of the court compelling the
Southern Pacific company to take the
army back whence 1t had brought
them. The army went on its way but
the writ of mandate still stood on the
court records. Yesterday the order
was dissolved on application of the
roads attorneys. it appearing that the
army had scattered, so that compliance
with the order was impossible.

Wealth in n Dead ari.cr,. R.ov.

Charles Pearcy, who for fifteen years
was familiar figure in West Madison
street. Chicago. is dead. He was at least
hfty-five years old when he took his lodR.
irgs in little room at No. 224 West Madi-
son street. He lived the life of a recluse.
At times he did his own cooking and some-
times he ate In the cheap restaurants Of
the neighborhcod. He never did any work.
Neither did he ever seem to be in actual
want. He made no friends. 1t was learned
that the old man had come to Chicago
from Virginia 1t was also learned that
he had a brother somewhere In that state
who was q county clerk or something of
that kind. Still later II was reported that
he had another brother in New York who
was rich. But the old man would not talk
about himself, and would neither affirm nor
deny these reports. Although living the
life of a miser, an Investigation OF his
room after his death showed that he had
between $4,000 and $4,000.
