by telephone and telegraph companies
for "stringing' wires. He met with
considerable success for a time, but
was finally forced to retire from bust
ness on account of the scarcity OF
freight cars, from which every section
of the country suffered. He then went
TO Charleston, w. Va, and secured
responsible position with the Charles
ton Electric Company, which was
forced to suspend during the panic.
In the meantime DR.. Alters. promi-
nent Cincinnati citizen, had located at
St. Petersburg, become a member of
the local lodge of ElkS and died, and
