COMMODORE srOCKWELL DEAD.
Never Gave Up wall street where He Made
shipWreck Long Ago.


shipwreck Long Ago.
Alden B. Stockwell, whose death on
Sunday was practically unnc'!ced by the
financial world, was one Of the largest and
most daring operators on the street in the
early '7Os. He was president OF the Panama
Railroad Company and the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company and in the latter
capacity made Wall Street history.
The son of a liveryman in Cleveland,
Ohio, he got a place as purser on Lake
Erie steamboat when a young man, and
while thus employed met and married a
daughter Of Elias Howe. the sewing ma
chine inventor. His wife inherited for
tune Of 100000 on the death Of her father,
and the purser then became fnancier.
His most celebrated operation was bull
movement in Pacific Mail, which carried
the stock from IS TO i07 in the early part
Of 1874. Then came a crash, the stock going
back in two days 20 the point from which II
started Mr.. Stockwell was quoted at
the time as summing up this episode OF
his career as follows:
They called me that fellow Stockwell'
when / began to stir up things. II was
Mr.. Stockwell' pretty soon and Com
modore Stockwell' when put Pacific Mail
up 10 i07 Then she came down and was
that redheaded son Of a gun from Ohio
The Pacific Mail Company had obtained
a subsidy from Congress and IL was charged
that Mr.. Stockwell had procured the sub
sidy by the expenditure OF $4,000 Of the
company's money at Washington. While
the Ways and Means Committee OF the
House was investigating this charge in
1874 and 1875 and the Pacific Mail directors
were suing him for the recovery Of the
money in 1879, Mr.. Stockwell was in Europe.
There he went on the turf in association
with Lord Dupplin and sIeculated in the
exchanges with considerat le loss in both
ventures. Meanwhile the charge Of wrong
fully using the conpany's money was dis
posed Of. In 1877 he returned 70 this coun-
try and in 1878 having encountered further
losses in speculation, he filed a petition in
bankruptcy with liabilities Of 81, O84, 900 Of
which $500 900 was owing 10 European
creditors. and assets Of $4,000, consisting
principally of stock In sewing machine COM
panies.
Mr.. Stockwell never gave up trying to
get square in the stock market, hut his
success was Indifferent. He became
memh err Of the Consolidated Exchange, but
failed again in 1902. Soon thereafter he
was able to make good and he was mem
Der Of the exchange at the time Of his death.
He died in apa rtments at the Hotel Irving,
20 GraInercy Park, where be lived with an
unmarried daughter He was 70 years Of
age and leaves another daughter, Mn
Clarence s. Day, wife Of a memter Of the
New York Stock Exchange. Apoplexy
caused his death.

sources OF supply available and having
determined the cost of constructing the
plant and obtaining supply from these
different sources, it remains to decide
which of the three plans considered
should be adopted.
The estimates show that the cost of
the system with shallow wells as source
of supply would be very nearly as great
as the cost of system using deep
we'll supply.
The cost of a deep we'll would be
more than double the cost of shallow
we'll, but this is largely offset by the cost
of the additional pipe which will be
requiredto reach suitable location for
shallow we'll. Moreover supply
from deep we'll can reasonably be de-
pended upon to be permanent, while
shallow wells would be seriously affected
by dry seasons and continuous pumping,
and could not be considered as perma-
nent source of supply.
We, think, therefore, that the choice
Of supply should be made between the
deep well and the river supply.
The first cost of securing river sup
ply would be about $500 greater than
the cost of a deep well supply, and this
extra cost is due largely to the pipe line
which would be required to reach suit
able location for dam.
The estimate for the. river supply,
however, is based upon supplying only
the present needs by means of single
dam feet high, while the cost of per-
manent works sufficient to supply all
future needs would be much greater.
AS already stated, the construction of
permanent works should not be under
taken without the assistance of the rail-
road company as any extensive develop
ment or use of the river by either patry
would seriously interfere with the other.
Unless the cooperation of the railway
company can be secured in the construc-
ton of permanent works on the river, we
do not think it would be wise to incur
the additional expense of securing a
river supply which would only be suf6-
cient for present needs, and in this event
we would Recommend the adoption of the
plan for deep well supply.
