DEATH OF
MR.. FARRELY
\ Prominent Morristownian
Passes Away Suddenly
in New York
GREAT SHOCK TO MORRISToWN

Patrick Farrelly, died last Saturday
evening at his town residence, No. AT
West Sixty-eighth street, New York,
from pneumonia.
Mr.. Farrelly was ill only four days.
Returning from his work as vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the
American News Co., Tuesday evening
apparently in perfect health, he was
seized three hours later with severe
pains in the lumbar region, which
developing into the fatal attack by
morning. Despite every medical at
tention the heart grew weaker until,
shortly after six o'clock, Saturday
night it ceased to beat.
Mr.. Farrelly was self-made man.
who carved out fortune by his own
efforts. He was born sixty-three years
ago, in Ireland, and came to America
with his parents at the age of eight.
He received a common school educa-
tion, and engaged in the news busi-
ness, growing in Importance until the
sharp competition between him and
the five other concerns and individuals
resulted in the combinations.
Throughout his life Mr.. Farrelly
never lost the habits of thrift and per-
sonal economy instilled in his younger
days. He was always plain of dress,
plain and direct of speech. Men who
did not know the simply dressed, dem
ocratic man sometimes discounted his
worth, particularly if they did not
catch the name. Their opinions
would change five minutes later.
1t was not all business for Mr.. Far
reilly. however. In this city, where for
twenty years he made his home. he
took an active interest in municipal
affairs. He was leader in public inn
provements and one of the founders of
the Morristown Trust Company.
He served as member of the Com
mon Council, was Fire Warden for
some years, a director of All Souls
Hospital corporation, a member of ST.
Columbanus' Legion and Of the Cath
olic Association.
For number of years he was a
member of the board of managers of
the State Hospital at Morris Plains,
serving part of the time as its presi-
dent. He had also served on the Rafl-
way Reformatory board and was ac-
tive in the management of other state
institutions.
His property interests in Norris
town were large. Besides his home on
Washington avenue, he owned the
Farrelly Building and dozen houses
on Bellview Terrace
In New York he was for years
director in several financial institu-
tions, a member of the Catholic, Lotos
and Aldine clubs, and at one time
member of the Manhattan Club. He
took an active interest in affairs of the
Catholic Church, both in New York
and in this city, and gave largely to
charity, but always quietly.
Mr.. Farrelly leaves a wife, two sons,
T. Charles and S. Valentine Farrelly,
and three daughters, one of whom is
a Sister of Charity. Besides his
brother Stephen there is another
brother in the Far West.
The remains were brought to Nor
ristown on special train this after
noon. Representatives of various or
ganizations with which Mr.. Farrelly
was connected acted as pail bear ers.

BAcKWARDNESS OF SPRING
Not an Unusual state of Affairs this
Season.

Not an Unusual SLAbo OI AHhlrS bhle
Season.
Although there was snowstorm in
New York State and New England
last week which was remarkable for the
time of year, the average temperature
for the current month thus far has
been scarcely more than one degree be-
low the normal, says the N. Y. Tri-
bune. The deficiency for March in
the East was hardly any greater. Com
the difference is striking The tenn
perature for March, 1908, in this part
of the country was the highest known
since the establishment of a national
weather service. The excess in April
was not so conspicuous, but it was
enough to give distinct character to
last spring. Taken by itself, the pres
ent season it not so very backward II
perhaps not more than week or two.
1t is too early to look for green grass
and towering shrubs outside of the
city parks, but people who hunt in the
right places can already find arbutuS
and hepatica. Ploughing is hamper
ed by an occasional freeze at night,
and the planting of garden vegetables
is retarded by a wholesome fear of
frost. 1t is not at all unlikely,
though, that, when the heavier seed
ing is at last practicable, at least a
part of the lost time may be made up
to the agriculturist. Moreover, the
farmer has learned that a little delay
sometimes proves a blessing rather
than curse.
For the unusual length and severity
of the winter, which is now practically
ended, the government meteorologists
are offering no hypothesis at present.
This much, however, appears from the
official records, so far as they have
been published: All parts of the coun-
try did not suffer alike. Over the
largest part of the United States and
Canada in December the temperature
was much lower than usual, but on
the eastern slope of the Rockies and
in British Columbia and the North
west Territories it was above the
standard. The cold of January was
felt chiefly on this side of the Missis-
sippi. Excessive warmth was report
ed simultaneously in nearly the whole
Rocky Mountain region and in Man |
toba. In broad sense, then the
severity of the last winter was local. |
While it is not incredible that COM |
bination of influences rather than any |
single cause was at work to produce |
the observed effect, it seems wise to
look for terrestrial explanations in
preference to coSmic. If sun spots, |
for instance, had anything to do with
the observed phenomenon, it would
seem rational to expect more general
prevalence of wintry conditions over
the whole continent, and, in fact,
over the whole globe. Such an infer
ence is not an absolute necessity, but
on the whole, it is safer to hunt for |
local aUaOtc fret

BIG BREAKER BURNS
Eight Hundred Men and Boys In Peril
at Pine Brook, Pa.

AT FTHS bTOOKl = a.
Scranton, Pa, April 26.-The Pine
Brook breaker, owned by the New
York, Ontario and Western Railroad
company, is on fire. There is no pos
sibility of saving the structure. There
were 500 men and boys in the mine
when the fire broke out, and it was
feared many would be sutfocated by
the smoke which entered the shaft.
All of them are believed to have es-
capped through the China vein, the out
shaft over which the breaker was
built. The loss on the breaker will
amount to about $150000.
