DEWY S IVES DEAD.

The ‘‘Napoleon of Finance,” Surrenders to Consumption. Henry S. Ives, of New York, died at Asherville, N. C., Tuesday, of consumption. Henry S. Ives was well known to stock brokers and railway managers as a "financial meteor,” who suddenly shot out of the eastern sky and exploded when he Struck Indiana. In other words, when Ives confined his operations to Gotham he was in tlie swim, but when ho started out West on a railway wrecking tour and

tried to gobble the C. H. & I), and Vanialia lines, lie struck a snag that wrecked aimself. As a result of his speculations lie was arrested and spent considerable time in Ludlow street jail. He finally ettled with his creditors at five cents on the dollar and went back to Wall street. His schemes still kept that great financial muter uneasy for a year or more, but in June, 1891, he suffered a hemorrhage of the lungs,'after which ho retired from active efforts on the street. He is supposed to have saved a largo amount of money from his numerous projects, all of which failed to materialize in a profitable way to his numerous dupes.
