the same year The loss of his wife and daugh-
ter only few weeks apart. was a severe oloW
TO Mr. Bonner but he rallied from II. NOT so
when his eldest son and one Of his dearest
friends the Rev. Dr. John Hall. died WITHIN
similarly brief period He never seemed to rally
from that stroke So rugged was his constitu-
ton that he bore his seventy odd years lightly
till then but after that sore double stroke he
began visibly to droop.
LONG TROUBLED WITH INDIGESTION.
Indigestion had long troubled Mr.. Bonner and
the reason he became a horseman was 10 force
himself into taking fresh air exercise He fougnt
It off for years but as long ago as last March
he told his sons that he felt sure the end was
near The disease had developed into wasting
consumption OF the bowels. AS late as week
ago last Tuesday. however, he went out for
drive holding the reins himself over Pray Tell.
one Of his fiers whom he sent along at record
making pace for some distance. That was the
famous old horsemans last drive behind the AMI
mails he loved and understood better perhaps
than any other man living
He took TO his bed after that and never rose
again He had a professional nurse and every
thing that skill and care could do was done, but
he told those around him 1t was no use He
faced death fearlessly and had no complaint to
make. He was UNCONSCIOUS TOT tne HIldl twenty
four hours The funeral will be held on satur-
day at II o'clock a. m. in the Fifth Avenue
PRESBYTERIAN Church. 10 the building fund Of

conducted by the Rev. DR.. John S Mcintosh OF
Philadelphia one Of his most intimate friends
who also oficated at the funeral OF Mr.. Bonners
eldest son. The burial will be in Greenwood
Cemetery IN the family plot.
The pallbearers have not been decided upon
yet, because so many of Mr.. Bonner's oldest
friends are out Of the city at present. some OF
them being far away as Europe. Mr.. Bon
ner had acted as pallbearer for Horace Greeley.

Robert F. Bonner asked last night what
he considered the most striking trait of his
fathers character He unhesitatingly replied;
Great power Of concentrating his whole en-
ergy upon whatever he took in hand: ability 10
throw his whole heart and soul into any enter
prise which it seemed good 10 him TO under
take"
Mr.. Bonners career shows that he coupled
with that characteristic an unerring ability 10
choose profitable channels into which 70 throw
his energy.

superintendent Of the NewYork State Sunday
school Association. When asked yesterday about
his resignation he said:
My relations with the Oivet Memorial Church
have always been most harmonious Indeed. during
the last twenty-sx years there have been only two
changes in the pastorate. In 1873 the Rev. A F.
Schsufier installed and continued his ministry
until 1857. when I succeeded him. The reason Of
my leaving the pulpit is simply this For years

day-school Association which is an interdenomina-
tonal society and co-operates with Sunday-schools
of many denominations throughout the State At
the convention Of the association. which was held
last June. II clearly shown that there was
great need of a general supervising officer. and
inasmuch as I have been intimately connected
with the society heretofore, the Office Of superin-
tepdent was created. and I put In charge"
When asked II the Olivet Memorial Church was
non-sectarian. Mr.. Mckinney said
1T cannot be truly called non-sectarian. II is
rather nterdenominational. for its doors are open
10 members of all Protestant churches who believe
in Christ and in the fundamental teachings OF the
Rlbie"
ALr. Mckinney said further. that the church was
