He Refused the Money.

Yesterday a prominent Republican
from the rural districts was in town,
and was taken aside by some of the
leaders here who asked him if he could
not take some money out and use it in
the interests of Dr. Steele, the Republic
can candidate for sheriff He indig-
nantly refused the proposition, and
stated that he intended voting for F
V. Yoho, the Democratic candidate.
1t is needless to say that his assertion
fell like bomb in the camp Of the en-
envy.

Was the Last Mayor of the Old City
OF New York, and Prominent in
Many Lines of Activity.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-William l..
Strong, the last mayor of the old city
of New York, died suddenly shortly
after midnight at his residence in this
city.
The illness of Mr. Strong had been
kept from his political friends. 1t was
known among his business associates
in the wholesale dry goods districs,
but no one suspected that his condi-
ton was alarming. Mr.. Strong had
not been at his place of business for
several days.
Mr. Strong took an active part in the
present campaign, and it is said his
political labors, combined with his
attempts to retain supervision over
his business affairs, in the face of i'm
paired health, brought about the i'll
ness that resulted in HIS death.
O'-'O
In 1927, and came to New York when
young man. He found employment
with different firms until January i.
1870, when he organized the firm OF
William l.. Strong & Co. The firm
soon grew to be one of the prominent
business houses in the city. He also
interested himself In banking matters
and was president of the Central Ma
tional bank.
Mr.. Strong took an active interest in
politics, and was one of the leaders
of the reform movement in this city
and was elected mayor on the Repub-
lican- Citizens Union ticket in 1894.
: He was the last mayor of the old city
OF New York before consolidation with
Brooklyn and the other boroughs COM
posing the present city of New York.
At the time of his death Mr.. Strong
was a member of number of soci-
cites, including the Ohio Society,
American Fine Arts Society, American
Museum of Natural History, Metropo-
Titan Museum Association and Amer
lean Geographical Society.
Mr. Strong had been in poor health
for about six weeks. He ate supper as
usual last night, and did not complain
of any pain or weakness at the time.
About II o'clock he retired to his bed
room, assisted by two nurses who had
been in attendance from the beginning
of his illness. About an hour after he
had gone to bed, he awoke and told
one of the nurses that he was very
weak. He asked to have his wife and
son, Major Putnam Bradlee Strong,
called. They soon came to the room.
When Mr.. Strong saw his wife, he put
his arm about her and said: Il am
very, very weak"
Col. Strong grew little better, and
as his condition at that time did not
seem alarming, the physician was not
sent for His daughter, Mrs. Shattuck,
and her husband, were called, how
ever.
little before o'clock Mr.. Strong

Files Certificate i'm Indiana.

h pension plan Of the Pennsylvania
road became effective yesterday. 1t is said
1t will retire fully two thousand men from
active service. and its results are likely to
be far-reaching. as a number of other i'm
well advanced in years are considering
copying after the Pennsylvania The Pitts
burg Post says:
1T Is a thing not correctly understood
by the public. and even the men who are
TO be affected do not quite understand the
object of the innovation which is to force
them TO retire from active service. The
cardinal principal involved in the motive is
the perception of the fact that only men
who are possessed of all the requisites Of
perfect physical and mental strength are
suitable for active work in the railway
service to-day. 1t is bringing into vogue on
the railways the military rules which de-
mand young and vigorous men for the
army, and exclude the aged and enfeebled.
But the railroads go a step further. and
will make it imperatively necessary for the
aged employees to retire, no matter what
position they may be holding. But there
ought TO be a consolation arising from the
TACT tnat the pension 1und VIII provide a
means of subsistence as long as the super
nuated employees live, and 1t is said that
they will all be provided with annual
passes, so that they can travel around at
will and still feel that they are connected
with the great system they ave served SO
well.
In connection with the pension fund of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, the great adj
vantages OF the -superannuation fund of
the relief department seems to be over
looked and not generally understood. Take
a case which will come under the rules of
the two funds mentioned. He is seventy
one years of age, and has been in the serv-
ice forty-seven years. His average month
ly pay for the last ten years was SOS.
Therefore, he will receive from the pension
FUND AZ per cent. of $6S. which is $31. 90. He
was also In the relief department from the
start in the fourth class, with four addition
al death benefits. This will entitle him to re-
ceive from the approximation fund s6.7
per month, In addition to the pension fund
OF $31.96 per month. From this S6.72 per
month will be deducted $3.50 to keep UP his
death benefits of 5000. Thus he will re-
ceive $35.08 per month. and his life insur-
ance or death benefits paid up"
