CHICAGO, Jan. Especial Phillip D.
Armour, for a quarter of a century one
of Chicagos foremost citizens, AMI enc
of Americas most progressive manufac-
turers, died at 5:45 this evening at his
home on Prairie avenue from pneumonia.
Just after the first snowfall of the
season, MIR. Armour played q game of
SNOWFALL with his grandchildren, the
sons of the late Philip d. Armour Jr,
whose sudden death last winter was a
great blow to the founder of the Ar
mour industries. The scene of the
sport was the spacious grounds sur
rounding the house built by the younger
Armour, and now occupied by his widow
and two sons, at Thirty-seventh street
and Michigan avenue Mr.. Armour I'M
Gertook to show little Philip III. and
his brother Lester how boys used to
SNOWFALL one another at school when he
himself was a boy back in Madison
county, New York. some sixty years ago.
See grandpa dc it," cried the
youngsters in delight as Mr.. Armour
gathered up the scanty snow, packed It
into balls and hu. led it at the fence.
Guess that's enough, boys" he said
by and by. I'm cold. We'd better go
into the house"
Since that day Mr.. Armour has been
shut up in his prairie avenue house in
Chicago under the care of a physician
and a trained nurse. This little expo
rience teaches that it is not safe for a
man worth from $40 600, 600 to $5OO00, 900 to

mour Elevator company. The death
of Simeon s. Armour, at Kansas City.
in March, 1883, caused no particular
change in the Armour interests there,
as they were operated as a stock COM
pany.
END HAD BEEN ANTICIPATED
So carefully had the plans for the flu
ture been made that the death of Mr.
Armour will have little effect on the
outward working of the great enterprise
with which he had been so closely iden-
tilted. 1t is believed all the Armour
properties will be held intact until the
grand children come into their own.
Estimates of Mr.. Arnour's own es-
tate run from $10,000000 to $25 600, 0G0+
of course, does I OF include the $l50J0,-
coo or $50, 600 owned by the younger
members of his family. For years every
enterprise he was interested in his been
making immense profits. His holdings
of stock have all advanced largely dur
ing the last three years.
DR.. Frank Billings, who was at Mr.
Armour's bedside when the end came
and who has been almost constantly in
attendance upon the sick man, stated
mention of his interest in or profits aris-
ing from the gigantic Acknowledgment
