HUNTINGTON'S DEATH.
DR.. Coley Says Demise Was Due
to Celebral Apoplexy.

New York, Aug 16.-In speaking of the
death Of Mr. Huntington, Private Secre-
tary Miles, who was present at the time,
said:
His death was very sudden. It was due
70 heart disease, or to be more technical,
Dr. Coley states that death was due to
attacked with a severe coughing just after
retiring. His wife and he occupied the
same apartment, and when the coughing
attack came on Mrs Huntington gave
him a glass of stimulant, as she had al
ways done before. This seemed to relieve
him for a moment. Then he said to Mrs
were the last words spoken by him, and
he sank into Inconsistencies a moment
later.
I'VE had just finished playing a game of
preparing to retire. Mrs. Huntington
called one of the servants. and the alarm
was quietly given When I reached the
bedside of Mr.. Huntington he apparently
knew no one.
lone of the servants was then hurriedly
dispatched to the steamboat OneOnta, ly-
a boat was sent for DR.. R. B. Taylor
who a guest of former Governor
Iiunsberry, at his camp across the lake,
and an intimate friend of the family.
DIR. Taylor came with all speed, but
when he reached the sick mans bedside
life was extinct. 1t was not %nore than
20 minutes at the very most after the at
tack of coughing started that death came.
These coughing attacks usually were
accompanied by a slight paralytic affec-
ton of the throat and other respiratory
organs
Mr. Miles stated that Mrs. Huntington
had borne the strain of the trip to this
city remarkably well, having regained her
composure to some extent since her hus-
bands death. He also stated that the de-
ceased man was not affiliated with any
church in this city, and no decision had
chosen as the officiating clergyman at the
funeral services.

Wireless TeIegraphy Will Be

Says Superintendent C. G.

THE FUTURE SYSTEM.
Mr.. Sholes Believes it VIII Be-
come Practical Shortly.
Says Telephone Will Never Sup
plant Present Operation.

Railroad officials who believe the tele-
phone will supercede the telegraph in the
transmission of railroad messages have
been gone one better by Mr.. c. G..
Sholes, superintendent of telegraph of
the Santa F'e. Mr.. Sholes believes that
wireless biography will eventually sup
plant the present system.
Mr.. ShOleS has followed the expert
ments resulting from the discovery very
closely, and has come to the conclusion
that it will be a matter of a short time
only until wireless biography becomes
practical in railroad work.
Mr.. Sholes is not a believer in the eff
ficiency of the telephone in the trans
mission of railroad messages. However,
he says, a system may be perfected by
which the same wire may be used by tel
ephone and telegraph, and the telephone
then be made a feature in connection
with the telegraph. However, this will
have to come quickly in Mr.. Sholes' esti-
nation to precede the adoption of wire

is the disturbing factor in the present
troop rate war and unless some salts
factory pooling arrangement can be
made the struggle will probably con-
tinue indefinitely. The other roads ar
rayed against the Santa F'e are backed
by the Southern Pacific, which has the
only other entrance to Frisco. The
Santa Fe has, however the advantage
in having the only through track from
Chicago TO San Francisco
It is reported that within a few days
the struggle will narrow down to one
between the Union Pacific and it's con-
nectiOns and the Santa Fee The Bur
hngton is reported to have declared that
1t would make no further contest for

HUNTINGroN's SUCCESSOR.
John G. Stubs to Be Head of the
Southern Pacific.

Jone c. Stubs, third vice president of
the Southern Pacific company, is ap-
parently the logical successor to the late
President Huntington. Mr.. Stubs has
been with the company since February n,
1885, and is widely known as a shrewd,
careful and conservative railroad man.
For number of years he has been closely
connected with the moneyed interests in
New York, and is probably as familiar
with the system from an operating and
financial standpoint as was Mr.. Hunting
ton.

lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buff
fa1o, n. Y.
1t is only fair to say that it is not the
man that women write to, but the doctor.
One of the remarkable features of this
correspondence is that years after a cure
has been effected, grateful women con-
tinue to write to DR.. Pierce, being thank
full for health and for the kind and
father1y advice, which was blended with
the physicians counsel, and which was
so helpful in preserving the health when

The offer of free consultation by let

sick and ai1ing woman. Every letter
received is read in private, answered in

answers are mailed in a plain envelope,

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Columbia, 3. c., Wiped From the Map
Loss 100000

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 16.-A special
dispatch from Grand Forks states that
the neighboring town of Columbia, B.
c., has been practically wiped out by
a fire which started in the Escalet
hotel This building was consumed and
the fire spread to the Presbyterian
church, then to a business block, livery
stable and finally to residences. The
town has a population of 500, but had
no water supply, and as a strong wind
was blowing it was a foregone conclu-
sion that the entire town would be
burned
Dynamite was used in blowing up
buildings in the hope of stopping the
flames, but it was unavailing. Grand
Forks sent assistance to Columbia but
it arrived too late. The loss is esti-
mated at over 10000

December l, 1871. to July Is. 1873, he was
assistant general freight agent, and on the
latter date was promoted to the position
of general freight agent.
On May 5, 1882, he took another step up
the ladder and was made freight traffic
manager for the road. which position he
held until October I. 1884. His success in
the traffic department was so great that
the management of the road soon made
him general traffic manager of the entire
system. His work attracted the attention
of Mr.. Huntington, and on February q.
1885, he was induced to go with the South
ern Pacific in the capacity of general
traffic manager Four years later, in De-
cember, 1889. Mr.. Stubs was selected to
fill the position he now holds, and from
which he NAV still advance.

JEFFRIES' NERVE.
Thinks He Would Lower Himself in
Fighting Fitz or Sharkey.

New York, Aug. 16-There will be no
fight between the winner of the Sharkey-
Fitzsimmons match and James J. JEFF
fries, as was originally intended. JEFF
fries has decided to declare this match
off as he does not think there would be
any credit in defeating man who had
another hard battle in the same week.
Again, the winner might not be in con-
dition to fight. This would give Jeffries
all his hard work of training for moth
ing.
Jeffries was willing enough to fight
some good man before September 1, but
it is said, he realizes that should he de-
feat Fftzsimmons or Sharkey his victim
would claim that he was out of condi-
