He suggests that It might bs possl
bl for the American army in the South

suls in assisting Mexican towns.
"It is believed by many," Mr. Han
na aald, "that more than 10,0000 live
hav been lost, and thousands are home
less." -

in his magnificent home on Tower

disorder yesterday after a fight against
disss that will rank for sheer grit
with hla remarkable struggles in the
financial world.
The exact time of his death Is known
only in that limited circle of relatives
and associates who had shielded Mr.
Harriman from all outside annoyance
during bis last illness. Tbe time was
given out as 8:85 p. m., but sirs. Mary

discrepancy has any bearing on the

Young Harriman married early in life
and married very well. His wife was
Miss Mary Averell, of Rccheeter, N.

a successful railroad man.
For a number of years th broker

having in his strong box a fair list of
stocks be bad picked up at extremely
low prices during to various panics.
Along in 1888 he was elected a dl
rector of tb Illinois Central railroad.
Whether Mr. Harriman entered the
railroad field in accordance with an al
