home at Riverdale. on the hudson.
This solltarv man. who twelve years
ago was worth s.. 000. 900. has made his

even that he owes to the kindness OF
the new owner n Wall street concern.

great success. He brought his BROTH

the finest In New York. Charles died

property. His wealth raj estimated
at more than 81. 900. 900. The Yuspen-
sion OF the old house was announced

him. was destroyed by nre In 1899. II

rather had not occurred. He and
his family were the guests of rela-
tives at Excelsior Springs near
Kansas City, and while out driv-

ran away, throwing the Judge out
and breaking his left foot and in
juring his right hand, and other
wise bruised him up, the Judge had
been confined to his bed until last
Monday which he came to his home
In this city. He went at once

the Judge may soon recover from
