Mrs. M. E. Harrington has received ad-
vices that seem to confirm the death oil
her grandson, Allen II. Harrington, and
| his tutor, Mr.. O'Neil, who were passen-
gers on the ill fated Michigan OF the At
laDtic Transport line. The Mohegan
sailed from London for New York Oct. Is.
The evening OF the 18th in some unexpli-
cable manner the ship got out OF her
course and ran aground OF the coast Of
Cornwall. Following tine grounding OF
ship there was great confusion on board
and the officers of the ship did not seem to
be In command or do anything to save the
passengers. II Is believed that a consid
cradle mum Der OF people went down with
the ship, Mr.. Harrington and his tutor
with them, as nothing has been heard
from them and list of those saved has
been published and no mention was made
of them.
The Boston papers OF Monday contain
the report of the death of julius J. Sal
terry OF Stockbridge. About II O'Clock D.
m. the nignt before he had an attack of
heart trouble while near the corner of
Bromfield and Washington streets. He
was taken to the City hospital, but died
soon after reaching that institution. The
body passed through Bethel Tuesday on
the way for interment in Pittsfield. For
nearly thirty years MIR. SalEery has been |
intimately connected with the developing |
of the mineral deposits of White River |
valley, including iron, gold and tale.
Though his belief in the value of these de-
posiis was not shared by the average YER
moDter, yet be succeeded in Interesting
many capitalists in Boston, New York and
Philadelphia and 1t is probably no exag-
gerafion TO say that over 500, 600 has heen
spent BY these same men in White River
valley as direct result of Mr.. Saltery's
'norts. Farms have sold at high prices,
work has been furnished to hundreds OF
nen and all the surrounding country re-
'elved in one way and another some filan-
'ial aid, but 1t has been at a correspond
ng loss to the urban capitalists.
