W. L. STRONG DEAD.
Sudden Demise of 81 Former Mayor
of New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The death Of
former Mayor William l.. Strong, which
occurred early yesterday morning after
Il few hours illness at his home, II West
Fifty-scvcnth street, was entirely uneN-
pcctcd and came as great shock TO his
family and friends. Mr.. Strong had been
i'll for several months.
AT the bedside when the former may
OF passed away as quietly as he had sunk
into a slceplike stupjr short time be
fore were his wife, his son, Major Put
nam Bradlcc Strong; his daughter, Mrs.
Albert X. Shattuck; two nurses and three
old family servants
Mr.. Strong appeared as well the pre-
vious night as he had been mt any time
since his old almcnt, govt, attacked him
six weeks ago and dined with the family
in the evening. lie retired at II o'clock
and apparently went quietly to sleep.
Mr.. Strong, who enjoyed the distinc-
ton of being the first Republican mayor
of New York for many years and the last
executive head of the old city, was 10
years old.
William +. Strong was born in Rich
land county, o., on March %. 1877.
The greater part of his boyhood was
PASSED in his native place. When he
/ was Is years Old, ms lalnef ulou. lie
was thus thrown, in great measure. upon
his own resources. lie attended the COM
mon schools of the county. But the OPP
poitunity for IL college education was by
circumstances withheld from him. When
he was 10 years old, he left home to en-
ter retail dry goods house in Wooster,
/ O., where he served an apprenticeship of
/ two years. Thence he removed to Mans
/ field. in the same state, where, continu-
| ING in the dry goods trade, his prospect
were better. In 1893 he came to this
/ city to enter the employ of the then
| large and influential dry goods establish
/ mont Of l.. O. Wilson Il Co.
The firm suspended in the panic of
1857. Mr.. Strong in the following year
entered the employ of Farnham, Dale &
Co., which was succeeded by Farnham
Sutton & Co. and in turn 10y Sutton
Smith * Co. In December, 1869, this
last named firm was dissolved, and in
January of 1870 it was succeeded by w
l.. Strong Il Co., which firm has con
tinued to the present time.

The body of an unknown man, appar-
emily about 60 years of age, was found in
a pasture owned by Mrs. Smith Champion
under the railroad trestle at North Clar-
endOn last week. \ man walking along
the track discovered the body and the
selectmen were notified. The man had
been killed by a bull which was in the
pasture and the attack had evidently
come unexpectedly. The appearances
indicated that the tramp, for such he is
supposed to have been, was cooking a
meal. He had all the trappings of the
tramping class and his clothes and
general appearance showed him to be
without means. The bull had never
been considered dangerous by his owners
although he had been dehorned. The
animal had killed his victim by hurting
him against the stone wall underneath
the railroad bridge. The mans head
was badly crushed where ii had come in
contact with the rough wall and the wall
was covered with blood and hair to a
height of fully four feet. The ground in
the vicinity where the body was found
was much paved and torn and it looked
as though the animal had tossed the
body about for some time after death oc-
Cured. John Pond. who had charge of
Mrs. Champions farm, states that the
man had been camping in the pasture
several days.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARIES.
NsloHBoRHooD LIABILITY.

NElCHBOhhOOD
Apropos of the enormous des truction
of property by fires In the United States,
which reached about thirteen mlllioh
dollars in the month of August, the
American Architect remarks that only
four of these fires, with an aggregate
loss of about half a million dollars, were
in cities which have anything like
municipal control of building operations.
All the others were in country villages
or provincial towns, where official in
spection Is impossible.
The architect is of the opinion that the
only form of legislation which will avail
to check this prodigious destruction is or
the self-enforcing order, and ii suggests
the possibility of applying the principle
of neghborhood liability, which has
worked well in Europe. In France,
Italy, Spain and Austria, and perhaps
other continental countries, the person
on whose premises fire originates is
liable for all the damage extending out
side of his own property. The result is
that In these countries what in the
United States we should call econ
fagration" practically never occurs.
1t is not because they know more
about the art of llreproof building than
we do. for this art is little understood or
practised in them. But the fear that
carelessness may expose the Individual
property owner not only to the de-
struction of his own house but to the
disagreeable duty of paying for such
houses as may take fire from it leads
every householder and tenant to fill in
between ilOor-oists with mortar or loan,
to make cellar ceilings of brick or tile
arches, and to cover kitchen floors with
tiles. This has effected what no legis-
lation could accomplish, the separation
of blocks and buildings into small
isolated risks, fires in which are easily
controlled.
The architect insists that 'the same
end might be accomplished here by the
same means, and there is no reason why
they should not be adopted" Certainly,
if they were, the insurance companies
would rejoice, and the insured would
have equal cause for complacency, for
there would be an end to the practice OF
raising the rates on well.cOnStructed and
well. guarded buildings, in order &c
reimburse the companies for losses
occasioned by reclllessness, cupldity OF
malevolence.-Bo Journal.

SOCIAL LABOR VOTE

The social labor party workers
are not weeping over the result Of
Tuesdays election, in fact they
express themselves as we'll pleas
ed with the gain made over the
November election. In the four
wards of the city at the Novem-
ber election DIR. N. S. johnson,
candidate for coroner, received
largest vote of any candidate on
the socialist ticket which was 88;
at Tuesdays election j. L. Mon
tague led the ticket with total of
131 votes, showing gain of 43.
At an election when a bitter
factional feeling, over the water
works question, was utilized by
other parties thus drawing many
many votes to one or the other of
the parties interested in the water
that under other con-
ditions would have been cast for
the social labor ticket they believe
What pleases the socialist most
is the large increase in the num-
Der of straight socialist votes cast
on Tuesday over those cast last
fall. The straight party vote on
Tuesday was three times greater
than at the November election.

party or who constitutes the Off

Without any doubt whatever the
new aldermanic board when it as
sumes power will appoint new offs
GERS. This is their privilege. One
of the most important offices which
they will have to fill will be the
Office of water commissioner. This
Office will require man apt in the
conduct of affairs, a man of some
considerable familiarity with books
and figures and it should be man
who has made success in his own
business affairs. A large amount Of
fixed charges will have to be cov>
cred each year from the water rents
ais and all other incomes from the
new water system, or else there
will be a deficit. The people have
been told that under the municipal
ownership Of water supply. the cost
to them will be reduced and a rev.
enue provided which will create q
sinking fund for the payment Of the
cost of construction. Much will de-
fend upon the efficiency Of this Of
6cer as an administrator of affairs
to meet these requirements and
there will be considerable expec-
fancy upon the part of the people
to see whom the new council will
select. 1t is to be hoped that a
good man will be selected.
