ton, he married Fannie, the only daugh-
ter of William Lloyd Garrison. He was
chosen secretary of the newly founded
American Social Science association
and did not finally relinquish the post
until in 1871. In that year. while
on a visit in Europe, Willard formed a
connection with Frankfort and Berlin
bankers, and in 1873 returned to the
United States buying for German bond
holders tine property of the Oregon &
California railroad company and the
Oregon Steamship company, being

president of the latter company.
A few years later the companies in
which he was interested became so in
volved that there was a collapse in
which Willard suffered heavily. Re-
turning to Germany he formed new fl
nancial relations which enabled him to
repair his fortunes.

terests and with the Edison Lamp Co.,
of Newark, N. j., and the Edison works
at Schenectady, as a basis organized
which he became the president. In 1889

died today at the Hotel Meth
DAILY was unconscious only at inter-
walls yesterday At 4 O'Clock this morn
ing he revived from sinking spell, and
seemed more than ordinarily bright. He
asked his family to be summoned. "On-
ly little while more, little bit more,
he said, when asked if he was better
The family came hastily, and remained
until the end. Death came peacefully
Physicians say DAILY was conscious un-
til few minutes before he passed
away. The funeral will be held from
st. Patrick's cathedral, but the time
has not been decided. Marcus DAILY
was born in Ireland in 1912. He came
to the United States in early life, and
since 1876 has been a citizen of Mon
tana. He was general manager of the
Alice silver mine, later came into con-
troll of the Anaconda copper mine. At
the time of his death he was president
of the Amalgamated Copper Company.
In politics he was Democrat. The diff
ferences between Daily and w. A. Clark
attracted much attention. The trouble
started years ago over some water
rights near Butte which Daily wanted
and which Clark had bought, forcing
the other to pay very high figure.

weeks. He came here from Europe the
middle of September, and soon after
was obliged to take to his bed from
which he never again arose. Brights
