EAD3 DEAD.
rncxmonln l'atnlly Attacks tlio Grent Kit-
Blnrer. Bt Louis March 11. A telegram was re
ceived hero lato yesterday afternoon an
nouncing too death of Captain James 11.
Kads which occurred at Nassau Now
Providence llahamn Islands March 8 tho
causo of death being pneumonia. Tho last
news received from Captain Hods by bis
family In Bt. Louis was a tolcgram onTues
day from Mr. Karner his agent In Now
York saying that ho had received a lottcr
which must havo left Nassau on thoMh
and that Mr. Kads was dangerously ill with
congestion of tho lungs. Although ho was
In dcllcato health no such fatal termination
was anticipated by his family hero. It Is
lmpossiblo to get any further particulars
relative to tho death of Captain Kads. Tho
dispatch chronicling the fact was received
from Nassau by tho steamer Lltflo Hcnder-'
son. Th-ro is no telegraphic com-
munication with Nassau nnd no ono on
board tho vessel which brought tho lutein-
gcuco knows any thing about tho matter.
IllOOnAI'lllCAI.
James II. Kads was born In lnwrcnco-
burg Ind May 23 1920. Ills early educo.
tlon was limited as reverses soon forced
him to leave school to assist In supporting
tho family. When ho wns only eight years
of ago bo becamo Interested in machinery.
nnd before ho wns twelve years of ago ho
had taken to piccos nnd readjusted a clock
and a patent lever watch and ho wns then
provided with a small workshop In which
ho made all manner of small mechanical
contrivances. Whan ho was thirteen years
of ogo his father removed to Bt.
IajuIs. On tho way all tlio family
possessions woro destroyed by lire
and tho boy becamo a street peddler
of oranges. In tho winter of that year he
built a locomotive which was run by a-ram
tied by tho tall on a treadmill in tho Interior.
After a short tlmo young Kads obtained a
position with a lirm tho senior pnrtner of
which Barret Williams discovered his
mechanical tastes nud gavo him frco acc-
to his library. After a year or two h' . '
on a steamboat us clerk and remains t
years during which period bo obtain. d n
valuable fund of Information concerning the
river.
In 1S4'J Mr. Kads entered Into partnership
with Case & Nelson boat bulldors. for tho
purposo of recovering steamboats and car-
goes which had bceu wrecked. At first tha
operations of tho firm wcro limited their
machinery nnd appliances being very prim-
itive uud quite inudequato to tbo work they
undertook to perform. Buch were the
energy versatility and Industry of Mr.
Kads however that tho business rapidly
expanded until In tbo spaco of about ten
years tho Arm's property hud increased tc
halt a million dollars in valuo. In tha
mcantlmo Mr. Kads had established a fac-
tory at HU Louis for tho manufacture of
glastwaro. 1 ho business did not prove re-
munerative and ho returned to tbo wreck-
ing business. In lioM bo submitted tc
Congress a proposition to keep tho Western
rivers open for a term of years by remov-
ing all obstructions and keeping tho chan
nels free. Tha bill embodying his proosal
passed tho llouso but was defeated In the
Bcnnta He retired from actlvo bus.noss In
1S57 on account of Ul-bealth.
During tho war ho took ground ngalnst
thu levying of contributions on Bouthcrn
sympathizers nud headed a movement to
ralso a fund to take tho placo of that which
tho military authorities had determined to
exact from Iho friends of tho Confederacy
in L Louis. Mr. Lads received n contract
for building tho first seven vessels of the
Mississippi guuboat flotilla ot.d ho con
structcd tho first Ironclad in America.
From tho cloco of the war to tho time ol
tho construction ofthe groit Bt. Iouls
brldgo Mr. Kads was ougiged In no groit
public works. Upon that brilg-) his fuma
as nn engineer was firmly established. Tlio
bridge project wns first conceived In 1SJX
In 1S73 Mr. Kads begun the oonstnic: Ion of
a system of jetties for Increasing the depth
of tho water utthemuuth of the Mississippi
under contract with tho Government. His
plans when proposod wero scouted by
prominent englueors. but proved eminently
succossful. Ho secured a depth of watar
which allows tho largest ocoan vessels tc
sail in tho river and unload their carguos at
Now Orleans.
Mr. Kads' latest and greatest project was
tho building of a ship railway ut Telmnuto-

f JoairiptrA on tlio l'osallitlltls and I'robs
Mllttrs or tho Kelt I'resldrnttst Cam-pslR-n
Shrrninn s Itlstns nnd the (Jit-
ter vs. Cleveland.
Wasiiinoton Match la Tho Stir pub-
lishes tho following gossip about a Sher-
man "boom" growing out of tho Senator's
Houtharn trip and about tho old tickets
headed by Cleveland and Ulalno in ISSSi
Tho gossip In political quarters to-day
turns upon the possibilities of tho 'Sher-
man boom.' Ills trip to tha South Is con-
ceded to bo for tbo purposo of giving tho
boom a chanco to dovelop quickly under
the Influence of tho warm Southern sun.
Messrs. Mahono nnd John D. Wiso oxprcss
tho opinion that John Sherman can carry
tho Stato of Virginia both at tho nominat-
ing convention and afterward as to Its
electoral voto. Tho Ohio chloftatn himself
publicly expresses tho opinion that tho
solid Booth may bo divided In tho noxt
Presidential contest. Ills friends say that
during this trip ho will throw himself
among tho Bonthcrn pcoplo and dispel tbe
erronoous Impression that ho has no
warmth In his composition. They expect
him to thaw out In tho Bouth and gain
much In popularl'y. They confidently ox
pect that ho will got Ihs support of the
delegates ot sovcrnl ol the Southern mates.
Tlio Dlalne men say thoy are not afraid
of Mr. Shorman. Representative Drady
who was Mihonc's first Uautonant for so
long and who has been a leader In Virginia
longer than has Mahono does not agree
with him that tho Stato coull be carried
by tho Ohio man. Hlaine ho says can
carry Virginia against any ono tho Demo-
crats can put up. There Is an enthusiasm
aroused at tho mention of his name Not
so ho says with Sherman ho could not
carry tho Stato. Any ono who says ho can
docs cot know tho Bouthcrn people
lllaino's friends say that lllalno Is not
pushl if b'msclf to tho front but that ho
is thcru and is going to stay. Whatever
work others may do meanwhile they say
it will be found at tho convention that tho
Plumed Knight will bo head and shoulders
above ovory uoJy else. They contond that
Iho only qvestion Is whothor ho wants tho
lomlnntlon. Thin Ihoy Intlmnto thit If
Mr. Cleveland Is to lead tho Democracy
again be will want to enter Iho Held
against him.
When all tplk Is over It may bo boiled
'own to tbe qulto general belief that
lalno and Cleveland aro to bo pitted
against each other again. Democratic
politicians generally conoodo that they
can not get away f rem tho man of destiny;
that Mr. Cleveland will stick. Ono of
them likened him to a tar baby "whother
you hit him or hug him ho sticks."
Tho politicians are not better satisfied
but more tolerant with him. They aro In-
clined to shot tlnir eyes and accept tho
Inevitable. Leading mugwumps with
whom n tffir reporter has talked are a
little utjertnli as to their own footings as
regards the President. They say that bo
has not done in tho way of Clvll-Ssrvlce re
form all that they nad hop id for yet that
bo has done all that be was positively
pledged to do and thoy do not know
where they could find a man that could
do more. Us has goao further they
aar. than any Republican thought ho
would go and whllo you may find
ono who will say ho was shamming you
will find fifty Republicans who aro fright-
ened because they think ho has done too
well. Upon tho whole tho mugwumps
say they ana Inclined to accept him. They
estimated that If Mr. Allison wero nomi-
nated ngalnst him ho would lose about
half tbo mugwump votes possibly more.
Most any Republican except lllalno could
tako some mugwumps from Cloveland. If
Mr. lllalno should bo nomlnatod however
thoy say Clovoland would get a much
rgcr mugwump vote than bo dll before.

THE GREAT RAILROAD DEAL.
Store Talk About the Ante of the llnltlmore
Ohio.
New Yonit March 11 A now proposition
In regard to the lialtlmoro It Ohio Hallway
control Is now being considered by Mr. Gar-
rett and negotiations aro now on foot for
the transfer of the control of tho Baltimore
& Ohio to a syndlcatoof prlvato bankers.
This now arrangement contemplates the
placing of tho stock in a collateral trust for
tho new company and tho Issuing of bonds
secured by tho trust to tho amount of f 10-
000000 to bo tnken ns part payment of stock.
Tho new company will Issuo 100000 shares
In stock and tho holders of outstanding
Haltlmoro& Ohio stock will rccclvo threo
shares of tho new stock for ono ot tho old.
The new will bo listed on tho NoYork
Stock Exchange nnd on tho prcsont basis
of earnings will rccclvo diridonds at tbo
rato of C per cent. Tho express business
parlor cars nnd telegraph lines will bo sold
at the best opportunity but until that Is
dono will bo operated as heretofore.
The following statement Is mode by ono
ofthe syndicate: "President Onrrett has
granted nn extension of time In which to
tako up tho majority of stock and ho will
not hold out on technicalities cither regard-
loir the exact terms or time. There Is no
option given to any ono person but a writ-
ten agreement is in this city giving a cer
tain party tho right to buy tno siocir ana
this party although not mentioned in tho
contract Is clearly understood by both Mr.
O arret t nna tho parties conducting tho ne-
gotiations. The prlco Is not mora thnn tXO
but whether It is less or not I will not say
Mr. Onrrett will bo represented In tho syn-
dicate and Mr. Gould will also bo repre-
sented there. The salo of property when
culminated will bring about a settlement of
tbo question of entering New York city and
tbo telegraph and oxprcss lines will bo sold.
Mr. Bully has tho same Interest as before In
the synd lento nnd all Interests are working
In harmony. Tho negotiations referring to
the salo tu tho Richmond Terminal failed
on account of the refusal of tho executive
commlttco yesterday to consent to tho
lssuo of tho additional sloe UvcCssary.
Tho stock will bo paid for In cash which
will cither bo subscribed at onco by the
syndlcatoor loaned by tho First Na"onal
Hank Drexel Morgan & Co. or Wlnslow
Lanier fi Co. who will lssuo negotiable
certificates for it Tho probability nt
promt however Is that tho necessary
cosh will bo subscribed. Tbe formation of
a new company Is not contemplated."

hiformcd his party that ho himself will
lead the opposition to tho Coercion bill In
Parliament. Tho Liberals will contlnua
their efforts against the bill until Easter
maintaining In tho meantime activo agita-
tion throughout the country. A scusation
has been caused by tho publication of Ocn-
crnl Kir Hcdvcrs liuller's cvldcnco before
tho land commission. It appears that ho
testified that what law there was
In the Counties Kerry Clara and Cork
was on tho sldo of tho rich and he ex-
pressed the opinion that It would bo a seri-
ous matter with their grievances unre
dressed to suppress by force tbe tenants'
right to openly associato for tho protection
of their Interests. A majority of tho ton-
ants he said struggled to pay their rents
and whore they could did pay; but In many
cases tho rents were too high and such as
they could not pay. Ho said thero would
never bo peace In Ireland until there bad
been established a court having strong
coerclvo powers over bod landlords nod
protcctlvo powers over poor tenants.

so sick that it Is doubtful If ho will ever bo
ablo to attend to the duties of tho bank
which has chosen him for president. His
condition two weeks ago when be went to
New York to meet tho directors was a
matter of prciouui astonishment and regret
to thoso who expected to soo a man In at
least good mental condition. Two of tho
gentlemen who were tho first to arrange

Wasiiixotos March 12. Speaking ot the
possibility of a financial panlo resulting
from the accumulation of surplus In tho
treasury after all the payablo bonds arc?
called Treasurer Jordan said last night
that ho saw ruithlngin tho present sltna-
tian nt ol' likely to causo a panic Should
onooc s howcror. the Government hod
full porfcr 'o go Into tho market and buy
bonds in ordertorobuve the financial strain.
Although ho could not of course speak: for
tho administration ot which ho would soon
ccaso to bo a member ho had no reason to
suppose this rcsourco would not bo applied
ns it had been with success on other occa-
sions. Tbo only trou ) apprehended was a
pressure for small currency and this was
being felt even now and In his opinion
would continue until about April la Tha
Government was meeting this demand an
fast as possible but could not supply It as
fully as desired. About this season of tho
year there was always a demand for small
currency and tho treasury was unable to
lssuo silver certificates as fast as called for.
