 As the leading apostle of concentra ton of capital John Pierpont Morgan stands out as historic character in an evolution of tremendous power. That be has been of inestimable benefit to the financial development of his coun' try there is little doubt that posteritS will concede.
 His wife. three daughters and a son survive the financier. The latter, J. r. Morgan. IT,. will undoubtedly be his fathers successor The daughters are Mrs Herbert Livingston Satterlee. Mrs. William Pierson Hamilton. whose bus band Is great.grandson of Alexander Hamilton. and Miss Ann Tracy Mor gan.

Men Working Hard to Stop a catss-
 trophe-Fire Adds to Flood Danger
 at Huntington, w. Va. a.- Secretary
 of War Garrison Leaves Cincinnati
 For Washington.
 The Ohio river Is rising steadily. The population was astir early, and the fact that the water had substantially passed the nfty-two foot mark caused considerable anxiety.
 The crest of the flood is expected to reach Cairo, Ill, and if the levees hold it is the belief that the worst will be passed. Much trouble was experienced in the drainage district along the Big Four levee. Rumors were started sew eral times that the levee had broken. Three times slides occurred, and only valiant work on the part of those watching 1t saved the day. Dozens of carloads of sand bags were placed about the weak spots, and serious trou. ble was averted
 Water seeped through under the con crete wall and stood in the main street of Cairo, but the levee has shown no signs of weakening. A big force of men placed sand bags and other hold backs along the city water front.
 Fire broke out in the flooded resi- dence district of Huntington, W. Va. and threatened an entire city block. but the flames were checked by the use of dynamite Eleven persons were res cued from the burning building. Fire engines placed on barges pumped wa ter on the flames.
 Satisfied that he had accomplished all the good he could in the flood dis trict, the secretary of war, Lindley Nj. Garrison, left Cincinnati for Washing. ton. Owing to the high water he will be compeled to take circuitous route to reach Washington. He will 20 by way of Knoxville, Tenn; Bristol and Lynchburg. Va.
 It will be ten years before Dayton. O., fully recovers from the flood, which took .a toll of hundred lives and caus- ed property loss of more than s25.- 100000. This was the opinion express ed by Major Thomas l.. Rhoads. U. s. A., appointed by President Will son to take charge of the rehabilita- ton.

night. but ft was not unrIT ISUg that Morgan first enterea this field.
 The achievement that hrst attracted attention to him HIS a man of originui capacity for dealing with very diff cult railway problems and tu such fashion as to save railway properties from the predatory hands which for some years after the close of the civil war sought swiftly to gain fortunes by the ruthless wrecking of railroads was the sensational Albany and Susque hanna railway fight for control.
 The story of that battle is far too long to be set down here. Enough it is to say that 1t was one of the most spectacular that Wall street and New York state have ever witnessed. in which a legislature and judiciary on the one side and New York's thugs and criminal element on the other were used merely as pawns in the game of high finance.
 For the first time Morgan was pitted against the dreaded Jay Gould. then one of the most sinister powers in the financial district And for the first time Gould found that he had met hIs master.
 Immediately after the reorganization of the Albany and Susquehanna in 1871 the firm of Dabney. Morgan X Co. dissolved, Morgan to take the part. nership in the Drexel banking house. already mentioned. under the name Of Drexel. Morgan X Co

Father a Rich Man.

Unlike many other American boys. be was not compelled to hew his des- tiny out of the rock of circumstance: Junius Morgan was already a very wealthy man. as wealth went in those days when he launched his son in business. and be grew wealthier still as the years rolled on. So 1t was that young Pierpont from the first stood at a certain height above the crowd. pos sessing from the beginning all the ad vantages and prestige of successful bankers idolized son
 1t was with the powerful backing of his father that he first went to New York to enter business there It was the panic year of 1857 Hundreds of failures occurred within few weeks Young Morgan. clerk in the firm of Duncan. Sherman x Co. studied the problems be saw around him-studied and asked questions. He wanted an. swers to his questions. but he never criticised He kept his conclusions to himself.
 Tn 1859 the coming master of mil lions entered business on his own ac. count. first under the name of J. P. Morgan & Go. and later as Dabney. Morgan tS Co, the latter firm not be ing dissolved until 1871, when Morgan allied himself with the Drexel banking house. Tn the former year also he married Miss Amelia Sturgis. even then dying of consumption. who lived only few months after the wedding
 From that time until after the close of the civil war not much was heard of Morgan outside his immediate circle in Wall street. He was industrious prosperous. invincibly energetic. yet fully content to turn the full stream of his energies into ordinary business channels
 In 1865 he married again. hls second wife being Miss Frances Louise Ira ~. dnughtpr of Charles Tracy. a New York lawyer Morgan was then twen weight vears old

Became Financial King.

It would take library to tell of the great bankers achievements between 1885 and the present time. Railroads and industrial corporations came to him by the dozens and scores for ex pert counsel. And they all got it if they were ready to pay the price.
 By 1900. despite occasional setbacks. Morgan was clearly the strongest in dividual fnancier alive. The combi- nations that be had fatbered repre- sented billions and billions of dollars
 In 1895. when. with August Rel mont and others. he helped float the Cleveland bond issue. he was asked by the secretary of the treasury. John G. Carlisle, for security. he produced Endorsements representing S500,0O0, 900.
 The formation of the billion dollar United States steel trust and the h. ternational Mercantile Marine. the lat ter perhaps his single serious failure in 1901 and 1902 is sufficient to show how far he had progressed in that time
 Morgan was a man of marked char acteristIcs. Aggressive in character and action. his very boldness in smashing down obstacles. coupled with knowl edge of how to apply money and pow CT where they would produce most re suits. undoubtedly had much to do with his success

Allied With vanderbilts.

Out of his vanquishing of Jay Gould grew this powerful alliance. So also did it gain Morgan the friendship and backing of William H Vanderbilt. then the greatest antagonist of Gould in the railroad and financial field
 Meanwhile the elder Morgan had died. leaving bis son something in the neighborhood of S10,000,000 and the control of the great English banking house, formerly Peabody & Co, but then and for years before J. s. Nor gan & Co. Added to bis own fortune. 1t enabled Morgan to branch out into fields hitherto forbidden him.
 It was not. however. until 1878 that Morgan actually gained entrance to the first rank of the country's tnnn- ciers. The country was still suffering from the terrible panic of five years be fore. Specie payments had not yet been resumed For months the govern. ment had sought to market an issue of per cent bonds. but the sIowness of the public to tnke them up promised no speedy relief to the situation
 Then in November of that year, un. der Morgan's direction. the Morgan Belmont Rothschild syndicate was formed to take up a large part of the issue. Within period of four months. from November to April. the syndicate had disposed Of S26o.O0O.0O0 of the bonds
 The taking over of these bonds aud the marketing of them at a great proft-Drexel. Morgan & Go. netting $5.O00.000 as their share-in a period of such great financial depression al once placed Morgan in the front rank of American 6nanciers. From that time on his advance toward his future proportions was rapid.
