Hotel in New York from
Disease OF the Heart.

New York. Jan. 19.-George Francis
Train died last night from heart dis
ease at Mills hotel, No. j, where he
has lived for some years. A short time
ago he was stricken with smallpox
while at the home of his daughter in
Stamford, Conn. He defied the au-
thorities to keep him in quarantine.
but finally becoming too i'll to continue
his fight was obliged to submit. Heart
disease. from which he died, followed
an attack of acute nephritis.
Citizen George Francis Train. the
most eccentric man in America and one
of those who for over half century
has been one OF the most conspicuous
" notorious men of the world, was
born in Boston, Mass, in 1913. His life
was one of adventure, most OF his
strange experiences arising from his
own idiosyncrasies, and he was before
the public more perhaps than any man
not in public life.
In 187O-72 Mr.. Train was candidate
for the presidency
ut seemed to me-" he said, that
with the effect always had on people
in my speeches and in personal contact
and with the record Of great achieve
ments in behalf of the progress of the
world, especially with regard to the
development of this country, I should

But in the midst of this singular
campaign, in which Mr.. Train charged
an admission fee for the privilege of

much more famous than becoming
president. There are by this time
quite lot of presidents on the roll
of history, but there is only one round
the world in 80 days" George Francis
Train is the hero of that story.
Il went round the world in 80 days
in the year 10, two years before Jules
Verne wrote his famous romance That
romance was founded upon my voyage.
Since then have made two tours of
the world, one in 671a days and one in
so days The last voyage still stands
as the record trip in circling the
globe"

TRADE REVIEW.
The General Situation as Viewed by
Leading Commercial Agencies
Effect of Weather Felt.

New York, Jan. 23.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says: weather
conditions have furnished the chief in
fluences in the general trade situation.
To some extent traffic has been hindered
especially at the east. Retail distribu-
ton of footwear and heavy wearing ap-
parel felt the stimulus, and annual clear
ance sales removed accumulations of
dry goods, millinery, etc. Wholesale
business is fairly active, travelling sales
men sending in about average orders.
and jobbing trade is normal Manufac-
turing plants are more active, with lit
tie change in quotations, and the outlook
for spring trade is considered favorable.
Iron and steel plants that resumed at
the turn of the year have obtained suff-
Gent business to continue operating,
and thus far the adjustment of wages
has not produced the threatened strikes.
FAILURES this week numbered 358 in
the United States against 265 last year,
and 33 in Canada compared with q a
year ago."
Bradstreets says: Confidence in a
prosperous spring trade finds support in
an charging volume of business at
southern and southeastern markets, an
awakening of interest at some north
western centers'and growth even at cen
trail. western and eastern markets.
where, however, weather conditions are
q drawback to the fullest activity"

ORE STEALING
AT GOLDFIELD
Sheridan Brought from Reno
and Taken to GOIdfieId.
Believed to be One Of an Organized
Band Who Are Stealing Rich
Ore from The Mines.

John Sheridan, who was arrested
in Reno on the nth inst for stealing
ore from the Richards lease on the
Jumbo vein, had preliminary hear
ing before Judge Lindsay on Thurs
day and was discharged, but imme-
diately after was re arrested on a
warrant issued at the instance of
Edgar Collins, superintendent Of the
Combination mine, and taken TO
Godfeld that night by Constable
Doc" OToole where the charge will
be investigated. The facts appear
to be that the accused, who Is well
known in Tonopah, has been working
for the past two months in the Com
bination mine in an upraise on some
very rich ore. On Friday last two
men checked as personal baggage
from Tonopah to Reno a trunk and
soda water box, the excessive weight
of which attracted the attention of
the express agent. who noted their
appearance. On the next day Geo
W. Richards of the State Bank &
Trust Co. who is an owner of one of
the valuable leases on the Jumbo,
complained to the Tonopah officers
that he had lost three sacks of rich
ore from the dump, Enquiries re-
suited in telegraphic orders for the
arrest of "John Doe" at Reno which
was cleverly effected by the police
there and Scott Hickey proceeded to
that city, bringing back the man who
proved to be John Sheridan.
AT the hearing before Judge Lind
say, Hugh H. Brown acted for the
prosecuting attorney, and PATSY"
M. Bowler defended the accused.
Prior to this a number of local min
ing men had inspected the ore and
decided that it was not from the
Jumbo but from the Combination
mlne and on this grou1d and on a
question of jurisdiction the Judge
dismissed the case. Sheridan will
now stand trial at Godfeld on the
second charge. The ore in question
weighed between 500 and 900 pounds
and is believed to be worth about $4
per pound What is worrying the
mine owners now is how did Sheridan
get the ore out Of and away from the
mine, who took the missing ore from
the Richards lease and how many are
implicated in the matter? Whatever
the result Of the Sheridan trial may
be the matter will not end here as
the owners of this wonderfully rich
ore are determined to continue their
Investigations and ascertain, if pos
sible, the names of the men who COM
pose what must be an organized band.
