TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN TEXAS
THREE PEOPLE SLAIN AS OUT
COME OF ELoPEMENT.
Father of Woman Kills His Son-in-
law, the Latter's Father, and
Then Commits Suicide.

Longview, Tex, Sept. 12.-Panola
county, especially Beckville, is excited
over a terrible triple tragedy. The
trouble started with the marriage Of
James Forsythe, a highly respected
young man, and Miss Ollie Simpson, a
belle of the neighborhood. 1t seems
that Forsythe did not have the appro-
val of the girls father, Andrew Simp-
son, for the hand of his daughter, but
with several young men in the neigh
borhood he succeeded in clipping with
the young lady and they were married
Saturday night.
This so angered the old gentleman
that when he learned of the wedding
last evening he saddled up his horse
and loaded a double barreled shotgun
and took his pistol, declaring he would
kill the whole party concerned. AS ne
rode up to Forsythe's home he saw his
son-in-law fleeing through the orchard.
He brought him down with seven buck
shot in the groin, leaving him for dead
He then rode toward the house. King
H Forsythe, father of James, came out
unarmed to see what the trouble was.
and was instantly killed with load
of buckshot in the abdomen. Simpson
then dismounted and ran into the
house with his pistol, saying he would
kill his daughter, but the mother of
young Forsythe ran between them and
held his pistol until the girl was helped
away.
Simpson then walked out the front
gate, put the pistol to his forehead and
killed himself instantly. Young For
sythe is desperately wounded, but may
recover. All stores in Beckville are
closed, and business in general is sus-
pended on account of the tragedy.

Tt was a Sad Homecoming For Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, il.

New York, Sept 12.-Cornelius Van
derbilt, jr., and Harry Payne Whitney
and his wife arrived at the Vanderbilt
mansion late in the Afternoon. Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., remained at
Newport. Tonight all of Mr.. Wander
bits children were in the city, with
the exception of Alfred, and he Will
undoubtedly come home.
The homecoming Of Cornelius Van
derbilt, jr., was an unusually sad one.
The estrangement between him and his
father because of his marriage with
Miss Wilson had never worn away. OF
the relations between father and son,
Senator Depew says:
They were on fair terms. I think it
is a week ago today that L saw them
together at Newport"
Mr.. Depew stated tonight that the fu-
neral would take place at 1890 O'Clock
Friday morning from st. Bartholo-
news church. A special boat will
carry the body, family and friends
from the foot of West Forty second
street to Staten island. The burial will
be in New Dorp, where the Vanderbilt
mausoleum is, and where lie several
members of the family, including
Commodore Vanderbilt, the founder of
the great fortune.

JIMINEZ AT THE CAPITAL.
Arrives at santo Domingo and Is
Heartily Received.

heartily Rece1Ved.
Santo Domingo, Sept. 12.-Senor Juan
Isidro .Jiminez, the aspirant to the
presidency of Santo Domingo. arrived
here today on board the Dominican
warship Presidente. His arrival was the
cause of great festivals and expressions
of satisfaction.
1t is not known yet when the election
will take place. At present the eoun-
try is quiet. The most difficult part to
be settled is the financial situation Of
the government. the paper money being
one of the principal causes of the bad
condition of affairs. How this Will be
fixed is difficult to foresei.. Business is
still very much depressed. Importa-
tions are very limited, ard the market
is bare of many articles, principally
provisions.
The manifesto of Senior Jiminez pro-
poses a liberal government, based on
strict honesty and equity He calls for
reform of the present tariff of duties
advocates a strict gold basis. and is in
favor of the withdrawal Of the present
circulating national coin and paper
money. He also reconlrne nds the favor
ing of immigration, and fully guaran-
tees protection to citizens and foreign
erS and improvements of roads, ports
and public works in general
News about the departure of a Clyde
line steamer from New York is anx-
iously awaited, provisions being scarce.

SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
Rose From Bank Clerk to the Worlds
Greatest Railroad Man.

New York, Sept. 12.-Cornelius Van
derbilt was born on Staten Island Nov.
81, 1S43 William H. Vanderbilt, his
father, was at the time farmer and
Cornelius at the age of Is left school
and secured a place as messenger In
the Shoe & Leather bank. His grand
father, the commodore, learning of this,
sent for him and asked why. he had not
applied TO him for a place.
''BecausesI did not want to ask you
for anything was the reply
This pleased the commodore, and it IS
said that he made a codicil to his will
few days later leaving $1OOO,OOO to
his grandson.
Cornelius left the Shoe & Leather
bank to go into the employ of Nissan
Brothers, bankers, but later his grand
father asked him to enter the railroad
service. The young man was making
$50 a month and declined to leave his
place unless he got more money. He
was given $50 and accepted it. He was
then about u years of age. The first
place he was given was that of as
sistant treasurer of the New York &
Harlem railroad. His rise was rapid
and he succeeded his father as head of
the Vanderbilt system.
Mr.. Vanderbilts active career was
practically closed when he suffered a
paralytic stroke IN July, 1880. Despite
his enormous interests he found time
to devote to church and Sunday school
work. which he began early in life. He
gave freely to the railroad branch of
the Young Mems Christian association
and to the work of st. Bartholomew
p. E. church in this city.
Mr. Vanderbilt's great business cares
made his life necessarily methodical
and he was noted for his punctuality.
Mr.. Vanderbilt went to Europe last
spring and came home on June "A, ae-

vANDERBILT's VAST ESTATE.
Speculation As to the Disposition Of
His Many MILLIONS.


New York. Sept. 12.-The disposition
of Mr. Vanderbilt's estate is a matter
of some doubt. Cornelius Vanderbilt,
jr., was alienated from his family by
his marriage two. years ago with Miss
Grace Wilson. daughter of r. T. Will
son, the banker of this city, and it is
be the principal heir. The opposition
based upon his youth and the fact that
Miss Wilson was eight or ten years his
senior.
At the time of his death Mr.. Wander
bilt was president of the Canada South
ern railroad, vice president and direct
or of the Beach Creek railroad; presi-
dent of the Detroit & Bay City rail-
road; director of the Cleveland, Cincin-
natl, Chicago & st. Louis railroad; di
rector of the Detroit & Chicago rail-
road; director of the Dunkirk, Allie
gheny Valley & Pittsburg railroad; di-
rector of the Hudson River Bridge
company; president of the Joliet &
Northern Indiana railroad; president
of the bennington & st. Clair railroad;
president of the New York & Harlem
railroad; president of the Niagara
River Bridge company; president Of
the Spuyten Duyvel railroad; director
of the Wagner Palace Car company;
director of the West Shore railroad:
director of the West Shore & Ontario
Terminal company; director of the To-
ledo, Canada Southern e Detroit Rail
way company; director of the New

Cornelius Vanderbilt in New York this
morning was 2 heavy blow to the resi-
dents of Newport, among whom he had
been familiar figure for fifteen years.
Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt left Newport
yesterday for New York. On his de-
parture Mr.. Vanderbilt appeared in ex-
cellent health. He had taken promi-
nent place in the summer life at, New
port and his entertainments We're OF the
most elaborate character.
Since his first illness in 1896 he had
lived quietly at his villa during Inc
summer, entertaining but little, but
during the past season he had taken a
greater interest in the social affairs Of
the city, being especially interested IN
the Newport Casino, of which he was
for many years president. He was a
regular attendant at the morning con-
certs. the tennis tournament and horse
show, and drove out daily, with ms
wife. He had always kindly nod or d
word for mis- many friends and ac1uain-
tances.
He was a regular attendant at tae
services of Trinity church and con-
tributed largely to its support. He was
a generous contributor to local char
ity and gave annually a goOdly sum in
aid of the local Young Mems Christian
association. His purse was ever open
to aid the sick and distressed in New
port, and on his departure in the
autumn each year he left a consider
able fund for distribution among the
poor during the winter.
Two of his children, Mr.. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, jr., and Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney, occupy cottages here.
Mr.. Vanderbilt purchased The Break
ers from Pierre Lorillard in 1884.
and occupied the villa until the fall Of
1893, when it was destroyed by fire.
The following year he began the con-
struction of the new The Breakers,
which is one Of the most palatial es-
tates in Newport, it's cost alone being
estimated at S1OO0,0 600.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-09-13

companied by Mrs. Vanderbilt and his
daughter Gladys. They went to New
port the same day, and Mr.. Vanderbilt
improved constantly in health. On
Aug. he gave a house party at his
home, The Breakers. The social affairs
at The Breakers were upon the depart
ure of Alfred Vanderbilt for trip
round the world. He left on July rs
for Seattle accompanied by William
Proudfit Burden, Ernest ISelin and
Dougits H. Cochran.
When Mr.. Vanderbilt was % years of
age he married Alice Gwynne, the
daughter of a Cincinnati lawyer. His
first born son, William H., died in 1892,
while he was a student in Yale univer-
sity.
Mr.. Vanderbilt left five children, Cor
nelius, Gertrude, Alfred, Reginald and
Gladys. Cornelius married a daughter
Of Mr.. Wilson, the banker, about two
years ago, and later Gertrude became
the wife of Harry Payne Whitney, son
of former Secretary of the Navy Will
lam c. Whitney. William K, Fred
erick W., and George are surviving
brothers of Cornelius Vanderbilt.
After the first stroke of paralysis
Mr.. Vanderbilt leased a residence in
Washington, D. c., and upon advice OF
his physician lived there very quietly
for three months. His sojourn in Wash
ington was of evident benefit, for upon
his return to his residence in this city
in April 1897, he appeared to many of
his friends to be nearly as strong and
as well as he ever had been. Plans
were made for a trip to Europe in the
following month.
In the months following his depart
ure his friends were delighted by let
ters which described his health as
steadily growing firmer, and said that
his physician had consented to his re-
turning home in the autumn, but with
the proviso that he must for an indefi-
mite time content himself with a very
general supervision of the Vanderbilt
railway system, and relinquish entirely
the detail work which he had previous
ly taken upon himself.
Either inclination or change of opin-
ion on the part of his physicians, of
whom the celebrated Partisan scientist,
Dr. Charcot was one, prolonged his
stay abroad. He remained in Paris
most of the time until December when
he went to Marseilles, and there Went
aboard his yacht for a leiSurely winter
cruise across the Meditel ranean to Al
gerian and other north. African ports,
afterwards proceeding up the Nile. On
the journey he was accompanied by
Dr. Charcot and he was not then ex-
pected to return to the United States
until the summer of 1898.
.Chauncey M. Depew, speaking of Mr..
Vanderbilt, said: Mr. Vanderbilt and
I were the most intimate friends. We
were on intimate terms for thirty years.
He was a most bright minded man on
all questions He felt the great respon-
sibilities of his work and believed he
owed obligation to all. He believed he
should be an active citizen in all mat
tiers and gave much attention to public
affairs. About one-fourth of his time
vas devoted to religious and charitable
work.

Cured. DR. Francis Delafield who had
been attending Mr.. Vanderbilt, arrived
at the house after Mr.. Vanderbilt's
death had occurred. Many erroneous
statements were made concerning the
circumstances surrounding the death OF

ment late this afternoon:

lines next Thursday to pass appropriate
resolutions of respect to Mr.. Wander
bilt.
All the members of the family have
either called in person or sent kilograms
with the exception of his son Alfred,
who is now travelling somewhere in
China. A telegram was sent to several
places in China and Japan informing
him of the death. Cornelius Wander
bilt, jr., sent a telegram from Newport
stating that he was on his way
The news of the death of the rail-
road magnate soon spread over the city.
Messages were sent to all the relatives
and near friends of the deceased and
the family Chauncey M. Depew who
was a, near friend and business associ-
ate of the deceased, reached the house
at about 7:30 o'clock. He was yisibly
affected. He remained a short while
and when he came out there were tears
in his ewes.
Brother Greatly Affected.
William K. Vanderbilt, jr.. and his
wife called early and remained some
time at the house. Then William K.
Vanderbilt went for his father and
brought him to the house. The father
was SO much affected when he came
upon the sight of the house where his
brother lay dead that he clapped his
son in his arms and kissed him. They
walked together arm in arm into the
house, shedding tears.
Mrc w II Sloane and Mr. and Mrs
H. Mex. Twombly and others called at
