The business world was startled yes
terday by the announcement Of the
death of Cornelius Vanderbilt, who was
the head of the family whose wealth is
estimated at SlOQOOO,OOO. While he has
been III for some time, his death was
somewhat sudden. Cornelius Wander
6nt was the grandson of the COmmo-
dore, the founder of the great Wander
bIlt house, and, until recently, headed
the directory of several great railroads.
His fortunte consisted of the control OF
the New York Central road, the Chi
cago q Northwestern, the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern, Lake Erie &
Western, Chicago & st. Louis, the was-
ner Palace Car Company. and United
states honda to the amount Of about
s4OOOO,OOO.
Mfr. Vanderbilt was a power in the
financial world and railroad circles.
Few living men possessed greater iniu-
ence in these respects, and his depar-
ure removes one of the most active
figures. As in the cases of all other
men of his class, Death has conquered,
and a vast fortune and many interests
pass into other hands. The curtain
falls ON another act in the Vanderbilt
history. only to rise after an Interlude
upon another, in which the Vanderbilt
name will figure just as conspicuously'

Harblngers Of victory.

There are three or four features in
connection with the Republican con-
yention at Martins Ferry to choose a
successor to the late Representative
Danford. Each and every one gives
augury of success in November, in spite
OF the new issues added to the Chicago
platform forced by the Democracy at
the dIctation of John II. Mclean.
In the Grst place, is the number OF
energetic candidates. all of whom are
earnestly in the Held for contest for
the honor to a finish, Second, is the
large attendance Of enthusiastic dele
gates and the friends and workers Of
the various candidates. loyal to the sew
erai aspIrants. Third, is the intense
interest and the prolonged contest that
is likely to occur before a choice is
reached, all participants inspired by
desire 10 secure the strongest possible
candidate.
The logic of this situation is that the
Republicans of the district are conf
dent beyond doubt that there Will DC u
big Republican endorsement of the ma
tional administration and Its policies'
regardless of the appeals to prejudice
to be made by the Democrats and their
championship of the cause Of Aguinaldo
and his followers.
II this feeling Is kept up there Will
be NO doubt as to the successorship to
the late congressman. or how the Re-
publicans of Ohio will stand on the vital
questions of upholdlng the hands Of
ohIo's favorite son, in the mighty re-
sponsIbilItles forced upon him in great
crisis. The best evidence of the earn
estness, the confidence Of winning and
the purposel and loyalty is the close
ness of the contest made for the
honor.

Interesting Investigations by United

WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. 12.-Ev.
cry year since the invasion of certain
western states, particularly Kansas and
Colorado. by the Rocky Mountain To-
Gust or western grasshopper in the
years 1874 and 1876, the division Of en-
tomology OF the United States depart
ment OF agriculture has sent IN agent
into the field In the western states each
summer to study grasshopper condi-
lions for the purpose OF enabling the
department to predict. II possible, fu-
ture invasion and to warn farmers well
in advance. This annual trip for the
present year has just been completed
and the special agent. Mr.. W. D. Hun
ter, has Just reported to DR.. Howard,
the entomologist Of the department.
This years Investigations have been
OF special interest on account OF a
slight outbreak OF the locust In North
Dakota and on account of an unusual
abundance Of local non-mIgratory spe-
Giles in different western states. More
over rather large swarm was seen in
flight In early August, the exact set
thing point OF which 1t Is now difficult
to approximate. Earlier in the summer
n statement was published in certain
western newspapers to the effect that
1t was considered by entomologists that
the Turtle mountain region In North
Dakota and Montana probably was a
permanent breeding ground Of the de-
structive migratory grasshopper,
statement which occasiOned much
alarm and Indignation on the part OF
railroads and other land owners In that
part OF the state. This region there
fore, was carefully trnversed and scru-
tlniZed by Mr., Hunter. who reports
that the migratory grasshopper does
not breed permanently In the Turtle
mountains, nor in that immediate vi
entity. The ground Is perfectly un-
suited to breeding and moreover
swarms descending farther east have
been trnced from far to the northeast
Of that place. The probable breeding
ground. he thinks, is upon the Assini
boine river north and east Of Regina
region which will be investigated

he ran into an Iron bar on the Norris
creek bridge. The shock knocked him
OF and he fell on some rocks in the
creek bed below. A companion thought
him dead and hurried on to Handley to
head on the elOpement and notify the
authorities. He accomplished both ana

latter responded, but when he arrived
at the bridge he found that the corpse
had gotten up and walked over into

Dreyfus, whose chief prosecutor and
prosecutor he was, was again guilty,
urges that his victim should go free, on
the ground that. having been sentenced
to ten years imprisonment, and has al
ready suffered i've years solitary con-
anement, reduces his confinement one
half. which means that on Saturday he
finished serving his term. He declares
that the whole business is NOTHING but
farce, arranged in advance, and be-
yond all doubt In a short time 1t will
be played to the end. This seems to
show that Esterhazy is either con-
science stricken, by reason of the part
he played, or fears a Reaction against
himself, which might compel him to
again retire from the country.
