Cornelius derbilt, head of the Vanderbilt family, died at his residence in this city at 5:43 oclock from a stroke of paralysis. Mr. Vanderbilt was in bis 56th year. At his bedside when he died was only his wife. No physician was in attendance. The attack was very sudden and entirely unexpected, and it was impos. 6ible to reach any physician before death occurred. Cornelius Vanderbilt was born on Staten Island, November 27, 1943. William II. Vanderbilt, his father, was at the time a farmer, and Cornelius at the age of 16 left school and secured a place as messenger in the Shoe & Leather bank, liis grandfather, the commodore, learning of this, sent for him and asked why he had not applied to him for a place. Because I did not want to ask you for anything," was the reply. This pleased the commodore, and it js said that he made a codicil to his will a few days later leaving 81,000,000 to his grandson. At the age of 21 his grandfather induced him to enter the railroad service, where his promotion was rapid until he became the leading railroad man of the country. At the time of his death Mr. Vanderbilt was president of the Canada Southern railroad, and director of the Beach Creek railroad; president of the Detroit & Bay City railroad; director of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis railroad; director of the Detroit & Chicago railroad; director of the Dunkirk, Allegheny Valley it Pittsburg railroad; director of the Hudson River Bridge eorapaDy; president of the Joliet & Northern Indiana railroad; president of the Leamington & St. Claire railroad; president of the New York & Harlem railroad; president of the Niagara River Bridge company; president of the Spuyten Duyvel railroad; director of the Wagner Palace Car company; director of the West Shore railroad; director of the West Shore & Ontario Terminal company; directorof the Toledo, Canada Southern & Detroit Railway company; director of the New York Central & Hudson River railroad, and a dozen other affiliated railroads.

Dreyfus Conviction Slay Hurt Exposition. When conWashington, gress meets the question of withdrawing the appropriation to make an exhibit at the Paris Exposition will be agitated as a protest against the conviction of Dreyfus, which is generally regarded as a disgrace to the French nation. Congressman J. M. Levy announces that as soon as congress meets he will introduce resolutions in the house withdrawing the support ol this government from the Paris Senator Stewart of Nevada has advocated the same cause, while many other public men are in favor ol taking some action which will reflect the disapproval of the verdict in q national way. The withdrawal of the appropriation would probably be considered an act of unfriendliness by the French government, and would result in a suspension of diplomatic relations. It is not believed that any such extreme measures will be carried out, the moral effect of agitation being what is mostly sought. However, there is little doubt that the number of private exhibits will be greatly diminished by Dreyfus' conviction. Sept. 13. Expo-sitis- n. Otis Planning Campaign. Washington, Sept. 13.

The last hours of the trial added no evidence of the prisoners guilt, yet the impression was general that he would be condemned. The announcement of the verdict caused no demonstration, and few expression of sympathy for Dreyfus were heard. The fact that those parts of the secret dossier which most strongly implicated Dreyfus were shown to be forgeries seemed to have little influence with the court. The statement published in Germany, with the sanction of the government, asserting the innocence of the accused, probably hindred rather than helped the defense, as it gave an opportunity to raise the old cry that Germany was trying to save the traitors neck. The opinion prevails that Dreyfus will soon be liberated. He has already undergone five years solitary confinement, which counts double, equalling ten years' detention. President Lou-b- et may also pardon him. Thousands of telegrams of sympathy from all parts of the world have been received by the Dreyfus family. M.
