Young Lack was but twenty years

father, a saloOnkeeper, placed him at

FUNERAL OF JAMES MYERS.
Father of w. F. Myers-His Busy
Career.

w. F. Myers, cashier Of the Capital
bank, has just returned from New
York, where he went to attend the fu-
neral Of his father, James Myers. The
New York Tribune has the following
in regard to Mr.. Myers:
James Myers, for many years prom
inent in the wholesale dry goods busi-
ness in this city, died near midnight
of Thursday at the home of his son-in-
law, Edwin W. Finch, Nj. D, in New
Rochelle. He had nearly completed his
eighty-seventh year. His final illness
followed upon a period of declining
health, extending through several
months. Mr.. Myers was born of Dutch
ancestry of Revolutionary antecedents.
at Herkimer, N. Y. He came to this
city at eighteen years of age. BY his
marked business ability he attracted
the attention of men prominent in the
dry goods trade, and came into init
mate business and social relations with
Arthur Tappan, James Suydam, Free
man Rawdon, NeZiah Wright and other
recognized financial leaders. He was
for some time. about the year 1860,
vice president Of the St. Nicholas bank.

out. The people on board were obliged
to depend on the farmers for food. For
one day the tracks were clear and then
came a second blizzard, and no mail
could be had from any direction, al
though eight roads run into Aberdeen
under ordinary circumstances. The
towns about Aberdeen were bad off at
times. for provisions which had to be
shipped to them from Aberdeen on the
snow plows. Sometimes the southern
road would be open for a time and
mail was received that way, but after
several days delay. The snow on the
main streets of Aberdeen was packed
solid to a depth of over four feet, and
the people knew that a food was inev-
table The thaw fortunately came on
very gradually, or the suffering would
have been great, as the country is very
low, there being no hills The 3Oth OF
March the food set in. All business
was suspended and everybody in Aber-
deem turned out to watch the water.
The excitement was high. The water
came into the town with a strong
current, and bridges were built over
the streets, a very river crossing the
main street. The people in the south
ern part Of the town moved from their
homes or sought shelter in the second
and third stories. Boats were scarce,
only a few being owned in the place.
The water soon completely surrounded
the city and so far as the eye could
see was simply an expanse of swiftly
running water. The people on the
west hill were not effected so much
as others, owing to a slight grade. For
over a week there was not a train
moving. as they could not get within
fifty miles of the place
Thursday last, the first train left
Aberdeen on the Milwaukee. With
eight others, two of whom were resi-
dents of Pennsylvania, Miss Myers
boarded this train and went as far as
Groton. s. D. Here the little party
took a hand car. The water was surg
ing over the tracks. the current being
strong and in some places the ties were
completely washed away. In other
places the rails were so uneven the
party on the hand car was obliged to
crowd to one side to prevent upsetting.
After a weary ride they left the car
and walked through the mud and wet
to Andover, carrying their baggage
with them.
From there they were taken two miles
in boats furnished by the company,
only five persons being allowed in a
boat
At Milan they boarded a Milwaukee
train The rest of the journey was not
free from excitement The bridges
were braced and tied with great ropes.
and in many places the tracks were
braced. hundreds of men being at work
OH them.
At Montevideo the water ran high,
but at Glencoe it began to disappear.
Miss Myers says she was amazed to
see how dry the streets in St. Paul
had become and that there was good
wheeling. She says there will be no
wheeling in Aberdeen for two months
or more.

DISEASED NERVES.

The women also decided to secure the
services of S. A Armstrong, who will
lecture on Venezuela in the auditorium
some time in May for the benefit of
the association. A matinee will be CIV
en- by Mr.. Thompson previous to his
evening lecture, the afternoon lecture

Mrs. Bishop read an article in a recent
Century, telling the course pursued to
obtain money for the building of the
Grant memorial, which course was very
similar to the one undertaken by the
present committee, though unpremedi-
tated. A letter was read from Cass
Gilbert, who expressed a cordial in
terest in the project, and said it would
give him great pleasure to assist either
personally or professionally. He sug-
gested that great care should be OBJ
served in choosing artists, as few there
were in whose hands the association
could be warranted in placing the work.
He said that the best results were not
to be obtained by competition. That
the artist should be chosen whose past
proved him worthy. Mr.. Gilbert will
bring the matter before the Sculptors'
society in New York, and ask it's ad-
vice. putting the committee in COM
munication with its officers.
Mrs. Newport said that no personal

that he heard of the committee and its
work in every city he had visited from

be open every day and the women will

kindly offering to give her time and
lead these studies. Mrs. Newport said
that she felt they could not have Sc

CASE FOR CAUTION.
Mayor DOran Considers the Bicycle
Policeman Such.

In the opinion of Mayor DOran there
is some doubt as to the success Of max
ing special policemen out of the wheel
men of the city. In speaking of the
matter yesterday, he said that it
would be out of the question to think
of adorning the breasts of any great
number of the riders with stars, even
in the event that any should be ap-
pointed to do police duty. He was of
the opinion that great care would have
to be exercised in the selection of the
men, for, in making a man a police
man, no matter fer what purpose, he
was empowered with a great many
more rights than are allowed to the
ordinary citizen. He did not the least
doubt but what good work could be
accomplished if the right sort of men
could be secured. Several letters were
received by the mayor yesterday in
which the reckless riding Of the wheel
men on the PUBLIC thoroughfares was
denounced in strong terms.
