HIS DEMISE IN NEW YORK CITY.

The Chief Proprietor aiul Kditor-in-Chief

of The Times-Herald of Chicago and The

Evening Post of That City Iics Very Sud­

denly in a Now Iork City Hotel Lrief

liiojjriiphy of His Life.

New York, April 15.—James W. Scott, chief proprietor and editor-in-chief of The Times-Herald of Chicago, and of The Evening Post of that city, died at the Holland House in this city at 2:45 o'clock yesterday. Mr. Scott arrived in this city on Friday last from Chicago with his wife and nieee and adopted daughter, Miss Grace Hatch. He was apparently in good health and spirits, but said to his friends that he hud been overworked and intended to visit Old Point Comfort and Virginia Beach, to take a complete rest for some weeks.

JAMES W. SCOTT.

On Saturday night Mr. Scott was at the Hotel Waldorf with Captain John Allen of the United States navy and some other friends. He then complained of feeling the effects of the strain he had been under since the consolidation of The Times and The Herald.

Yesterday morning he complained of pain in the left side, and asked that a doctor be called in to attend him. Dr. John A. Irwin of 14 West Twentyninth street was summoned. He found that Mr. Scott was suffering from renal calculus, caused by the passing of a stone from the kidneys to the bladder.

Dr. Irwin treated Mr. Scott, and he became much better. He asked, if he might leave Lis room at the hotel and take a drive in Central park with Mrs. Scott. Dr. I'w.n advise.i him to remain quiet and leic his patient at noon. At 1:30 o'o'oek Dr. Irwin was again hastily called to see Mr. Scott. He found that his patient- was suffering from an apoieptic .seizure, which he knew must prove fatal. Shortly after 2 o'clock Mr. Scott's breathing became stertorous, and he lost consciousnes He died, half au hour after he became unconscious, and passed away in that condition. Mrs. Scott and Miss Hatch were with him when he died.

The funeral will take place in Chicago, but no date has as yet been fixed. Mr. Scott's uody will be conveyed to that city by the West Snore limited. The eastern newspaper men will make arrangements to escort the body to the train. "Mr. Irwin said: "Mr. Scott's death was duo to apoplexy. He was a short man and very stout. I have no doubt but that there was fatty degeneration of the heart. Mr. Scott had long suffered from renal calculus. This was especially troublesome this morning, and Mr. Scott did not leave his bed. The agony caused him to thrash about in his bed, and the exertiou burst a blood vessel in the brain and caused his death. The kidney trouble had nothing to do with his death beyond that it caused the activity which brought on the attack."

BIOGRAPHICAL.

Uriel' Sketch af the .Life and Doings of tlio jreat JKditor. CHICAGO, April 15. James Wilmot Scott, was born in Walworth county, Wis., near the Illinois line, in -June, 18-1 "). When a hoy his parents removed to Galena, Ills., where they both remained until the}* 1 i: d. The elder Scott was for many years postmaster of Galena, having been appointed by President Grant. James W. passed through the public schools of Galena and was then sent to Beloit college, where lie spent t.wo years in the acedeniiu course. Leaving coliege he went for a short time to New York city, where he went in business, but occasionally contributed to the press. While thus employed he secured an appointment in the govcrmrnt printing ollice in Washington. In l!S7:3 he left the capital and started a small weekly in Prince George county, Md.

Not finding the field broad enough, the young man returned to the west and at his father's home, Galena, started a weekly paper called The Press. One year later ho left this venture and came to Chicago. His first undertaking in this city was to start a trade daily called The National Hotel Reporter. in this publication, which has since grown to be of considerable importance, Mr. Scott, retained an interest until his death. After several attempts to convey The Hotel Importer into a general newspaper, Mr. Scott.surrendered the management to his partner and joined a number of other young men in founding the Chicago Herald in LSiSl. One of Mr. Scott's associates was David Henderson, the well known theatrical manager.

In 1881, most of Mr. Scott's associates left the company to make way for Mr. John R. Walsh, who had acquired a controlling interest. Mr. Scott and Mr. Walsh remained in the closest business and personal relations until March, 18i)5. when Mr. Walsh sold to Mr. Scott his interest in The Herald and The Evening Post, which had been founded by The Herald company in 18W.

The iutervenimr years saw the orrowth

oi l. nc neraui rrom a struggling sneet tu a large and influential newspaper. Mr. Scott began as business manager, but soon became publisher and editor of both The Herald and The Evening Post. Meantime his life was filled with other matters. He was for years president of the American Newspaper Publishers' association, a body Cvliieh he was largely instrumental in founding. In three consecutive terms he was president of the Chicago Press club. He was a member of every club of importance in Chicago and also of the Clover club, Philadelphia.

In addition he was conspicuous in all social ami public: movements of importance. Mr. Scott was a member of the board of directors of the world's fair, at one time declining the presidency. He was president of the famous Fellowship club, formed to entertain distinguished guests to the fair, from its founding until his death.

Mr. Scott was the originator of many importa-nt changes in journalism, which are known to all newspaper men.

On March :i last The Herald was merged with The Times of Chicago as the Chicago Times-Herald. Mr. Hawley of The Times beeame managing editor and Mr. Scott editor-in-chief and manager, holding a controlling interest in the stock. His death occurred just as he had consummated the crowning plan of his life, to own and control absolutely a great newspaper. and while he was oil the crest of the wave of popular favor.

Mr. Scott married in 1876 to Miss Carrie Green of L.vle, Dupage county, Ills., who survives him. He had no children.

Duncan, Wardens of Hancock Lodge No 101 F. & A. M. and John Corcoran. Eno Geary, J. F. Mitchell and W. S. Montgomery. were at Richmond inspecting several of the city school buildings and the new Masonic Temple there* The visitors were shown through the new Garfield school building and the city High school building by Prof. Study, Supt of schools and Architect, W. S Kaufmann. They are built upon recent aud modern plans and the High school building with a few changes would suit our people splendidly.

The trustees, however, propose to visit a^few other cities, as it is the intention to have Greenfield's new building up to date and modern in every particular, the best possible buildiug, in fact, that can be obtained for the money, a building that will be an honor and a credit to the city. The Masonic Temple is a grand and imposing structure, four stories high, with which the members of Hancock Lodge were very much pleased, both as to its general appearance and appointments. The probabilities are that we will have a Temple here built upon a very similar plan. Mr. Kaufman very kindly tendered the visitors a carriage ride over the city, showing the priucipal school buildings, the $400,000 court house and other points of interest, including the beautiful park, Glen Miller. The party are certaiuly indebted to Mr. Kaufman, Prof. Study and other gentlemen for their kindness. The 'Eastern Indiana Insaue Hospital was visited aud found to be a magnificent institution Dr. Smith, the Superintendent, was very kind in showing the visitors the institution and tendered them a handsome lunch. The excellent coudition of the institution speaks well for the management of the Board of Trustees just lately retired, of which our esteemed friend, Montgomery Marsh, of this ciiy, was president.

The visitois were very favorably impressed with Richmond, as it is one of Indiaua's fairest and most progressive cities.

Fifteen minutes later the wagons might have been seen weulii 4*.' their way to Central station, having- o.y. board 2( prisoners—street laborers 'vhtr had been arrested on a charge of. -siolat— ing the ordinance prohibiting nuuiwi labor on the Sabbath.

These incidents formed the climax tithe attempt, of the Manufacturers' Railroad company to lay a line on Wate. street without the permission, it is leged, of the city engineer.

WASHINGTON, April .15. Surgecr.. General Wyman lias received a lettes through the state department fro-DO.--United States Consul Hyatt at Santiago de Cuba, dated Marth 80, iuforrsing him that during the first part of the month three deaf] is from yellow fevei' occurred in that city. "The mortality for the last 15 days," he says, "is probably heavier oh account of the presence of 5,000 new recruits for the Spanisharmy. Fever has not entirely died out during the winter, aud has started in now in a malignant, form, and with the revolution on hand, the summer prom.ises to be exceedingly unhealthy."

Mr. Hayatt" adds: "The Cubans themselves are practically exempt from the ravages of the fever, and have therefore. but little to fear in this section. "The country people and residents of the small villages in the interior are flocking to the large seaport towns for safety, and Santiago, Manzanillo and Guantanamo are crowded much beyond their capacity of Caring for them, aud consequently poverty, squalor and filth abound, and my agent at Manzanille reports that a famine is imminent."
