MARCUS DAILY DEAD


New York, Nov. l3.-Marcus DAILY,
one of the leading mine owners OF the
world, 60 years Old died in his apart
ments in the Hotel Netherland al
eight o'clock yesterday morning. DE
lation of the heart and Bright's dis
ease of the kidneys, with resultant
complications, were the immediate
cause of death, though Mr.. Days
illness dated back several years. lie
had suffered severely during the last
two months, but the end WAS pain
less. While he was surrounded by
members of his family, his life went
out so peacefully that only the physi-
clans in attendance knew that he had
found rest.
Marcus DAILY was born in Ireland
In 1912. He came to the United
States early in life and since 1875 had
been n citizen of Montana. At the
time of his death he was president OF
the Amalgamated Copper company.
In politics he was u democrat. This
differences between Mr.. DAILY and W.
A. Clark have attracted much atten-
ton. The trouble started years ago
over some water rights near Butte
which DAILY wanted and which Clark
had bought, forcing the other to pay
a very high figure.
DAILY had a passion for horses OF
blood and speed. He owned the $4O,-
900 colt Hamburg, Tammany, Mon
tana, Senator Gray, Gwendoline, Og-
den and other famous winners. He
tried to buy the winner Of the
Derby and Ascot races Of 1897, Galtee

last night. Professional men in all
walks Of life were present and SO
large was the attendance that the
rooms of the club were taxed to their
utmost capacity. Mr. Clemens made
one of his characteristic humorous
speeches. The central idea of his adj

and he related number of sad events
in life from which he secured the ma
tcriol for his most humorous stories.

"PENNSY" WANTS
ANOTHER ROAD
Makes a Bid For Control Of
the Western New
York System.

Philadelphia. April 2a.-The direc-
tors Of the Western New York and
Pennsylvania Railroad company met
yesterday and as a result OF their de-
liberations recommended to the stock
holders and the income bondholders
to accept the offer OF the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad to purchase a controlling
interest in the railroad. The offer of
the Pennsylvania railroad is 18 per
cent or 50 a shaSe, and 30 per cent or
$500 per income bond, if accepted by a
majority of the share and bondholders
on or before May 20. 1900.
The object of the Pennsylvania rail-
road in trying to secure this property
IS to get into Buffalo over its own
tracks. Tho Pennsylvania railroad has
always had in view the Importance
Of Buffalo as one of its terminal points.
Most of its business to Buffalo has
been carried over the Western New
York and Pennsylvania line, and a
large proportion of the earnings of the
latter company have been derived from
the traffic exchange with the Pennsyl-
yania system.
In the event Of the acceptance of the
proposition the Pennsylvania railroad
will practically be in control of the
bituminous coal trade, and its portion
OF the famous Vanderbilt -Cassatt COM
pact of last year will have been car
ried out.
