DEATH Of HARTMAN
END PEACEFUL AT HIS HOME Ar
ARDEN.
Family at Bedside fStrilxen finan-
cier When Last Call Comes.-Vic-
tim of stomach Disorders.

ARDEN, N. y, Sept. Edward
II. Hartman, the greatest organizer
of railroads the world has ever
known, met the only lasting defeat of
his active life to-day at the hands Of
death. Secluded in his magnificent
home on Tower Hill he succumbed
to an intestinal disorder this after
noon. after a fight against the di-
sease. which will rank for sheer grit
with his remarkable struggles in the
financial world.
The exact time of his death is
known only in that limited circle Of
relatives and associates, who had so
enectually shielded Mr.. Hartman
from all outside annoyances during
his last illness. The time was given
out as 1885 p. M, but Mrs. Mary
simons, sister of the dead man, said
tonight that Mr. Hartman died at
1890. Whether this apparent dis
crepancy has any bearing on the cur
rent belief that every effort was
made to lessen the influence OF the
hnancier's death on the New York
stock market is problematical. But
it is significant that the time Of his
death as officially announced waf
just 80 minutes after trading had
ceased on the New York exchange.
Mr. Hartman died peacefully and
to the end his brilliant mind retain
ed its integrity

The break I'm the Miner Dam re-
ported last week. was not nearly so
serious as reported it merely being

The following statement has been
put out by Major Reed concerning
the natter

There is not now and has not
been any signs Of weakness in con-
nection with the main dam which is
cyclopean mass. In the wings
which are built Of earth and rock,
there is always a likelihood of small
leaks occurring; but the watchfulness
exercised by the company renders IT,
impossible for any leak even then to
assume an aggravating stage, and it
is very simple matter to make re-
pairs.
"The published account gave the
impression that a break had occurred
in the main dam. which is entirely
erroneous. It is apparently as strong
