" H. RUSS, WAR
VETERAN, DIES
Was so Years Old and Advised
Young Men to Leave Tobacco
and Drink Alone.

Another veteran of the Civil War has
passed away. William H. Russ, or
odd Bill" Russ. as he was known to
his intimate friends, died yesterday
afternoon atNthe home of his daughter,
Mrs. Mabel r. Keehner, $50 South Tenth
street. Paralysis, with which he was
stricken about a month ago, together
with old age, caused his death.
The deceased was born in Raenser-
Vile, n. Y, eighty years ago, and comes
of an old Quaker family. About a half
century ago he came to this State, re-
siding first in Gould avenue, Orange, and
then coming to his city, where he has
lived for over thirty years. He was
formerly a boss carpenter, but retired
from active business in the early eigh-
ties.
When President Lincoln issued his
call for volunteers at the outbreak of
the Civil War, Mr.. Russ was among the
first to respond. He enlisted in Com
pany H, Twenty-sixth Regiment of the
New Jersey Volunteer Infantry.
Up to the time of his illness a month
ago, he had been in perfect health, pos
sessing a vitality remarkable for q
man of his age. Until very recently he
used to walk down to Broad street
from his home and back and not feel
any effects. In fact, it is to his out-of-
door life and temperate habits that he
attributed his long life.
Leave. tobacco and strong drinks
alone" was his advice to the young
men he knew. land read a lot of good
and wholesome books"
The deceased is survived by four
children, Mrs. Mabel r.. Keehner,
Charles H. Russ, both of this city, and
George S. Russ, of Roselle, and Johr
s.. Russ, of Oklahoma. His wife died
last December. No arrangements have
as vet been made for his funeral.

WEEHAWKEN, Aug. 30.-The sud-
den death is announced of Francis II.
Leggett, head of Francis H. Leggett &
Co, one of the largest wholesale and

Jersey home when he was stricken by
heart failure in the West Shore rail-
road station here.
After falling unconscious he was car
ried to the waiting-room by station
attaches and an ambulance was called
from the North Hudson Hospital, in
Union Hill. The stricken man failed
to regain consciousness, though restor-
atives were Immediately applied, and
died in the ambulance before the hos
pital was reached.
Interested in many enterprises, Fran
els Fl. Leggett was one of a group OF
men who in 1902 formed a company
under the laws of New York State for
the construction of what was called the
Fourteenth street stub tunnel" This
was to run from Brooklyn under the
East river. Manhattan island and the
North river to a point in New. Jersey.
Nothing ever came OF the project
though it was in its way a f%orerunner
| of the tunnel prof It's of recent years.

of the oldest pioneer German families
the Halsey Street Lutheran Church; in
fact, her ancestors were among the
first members of the church.
She had been a resident of the Fourth
ward practically all her life. and all
her interest in charity work was
centred there. Among the children
there she was known as Miss Carry
or, as one small boy expressed it, "the
lady what buys US clothes an tings."
Her self-sacriicing devotion for the
benefit of others was her chief char
acteristic. 1t is said of her that dur
ing the panic of 1907 she went all
through the ward buying coal, clothes
and foodstuffs for the deserving.
When her father died she conducted
the coal business established by him
in Canal street.
The funeral services will be on

Lutheran church, in her late home to-

ATLANTIC BALL
+. TEAM DEF|ES WRIT
Game Played Yesterday in Face
of Injunction-Drinks
Also Sold.

ATLANTIC CITY Aug. 80. = The
power of the New Jersey Court of
Chancery was defied here yesterday
when ball players of the Chicago Cubs
and of the Atlantic City team played
nine innings, despite the known order
issued by Acting Chancellor Walker
f~orbidding any more games until the
high State court had passed on the le-
gality of Sunday baseball.
Asserting that no service of the
injunction writ had been made, man
ayers of the teams left here when Pres
ident Louis Krehnle and Manager Ed
ward Bader, of the ball syndicate, dis
appeared before the writ could be
served on them on Saturday. ordered
the players into the field, and the game
was played.
Threatening clouds and fear of some
sort of by the reformers to halt
THE game are both given IS reasons for
the appearance of the smallest crowQ
seen at a Sunday game here tins year.
No attempt was made by the reformers.
however, to stop the game, and the APP
pearance of President William Winter
and Agent James f.. Steelmah, of the
reformers' or. s9%niZation, who stood out
side the grounds, only rouse Jeers
from the departing fans.
Intoxicating drinks were passed over
the bars as usual, but the saloon ques-
ton took second place in interest to the
Sunday ball game. e
Reformers are now building their
hopes on the claim that service of the
writ on Captain-Manager Melcher
places the hackers of the ball gamt in
contempt of court.
