DEA1H OF JAMES SEA TH. I James Seatb, one of the oldest manufacturers in the city, who has for many years been connected with the car works, diedjUnt Saturday evening, at his home 'on Ohio street, aged 68 years. He was a native of Scotland, and came to this country when but six years old. Until 11858 he was with the Hudson River ralld, company, and from there weut to
Blooojington, 111., where he was employed by theChlcagoA Alton oompany. He was afterwards master mechanic of tfye old Terre Haute fe Alton road at Litchfield. He came here and founded the Terre Haute car works in 1867, in which the late Jonathau H. Hager was interested. Mis face was a familiar figure about the shops of the company, and no man in bis employ worked harder than he for the sucooss of the establishment. The high.esteem in which lp he was held by the men in his employ was strikingly shown by their attendance r"'* at bis funeral on Monday, and one of the most beautiful floral pieces displayed on that occasion was one contributed by them, a broken wheel of roses. "Uncle
Jimmy," as he was familiarly known by the men, was one of the most notable clti'ens of Terre Haute, and one the city can illy afford to lose. His wife and two children survive him, Mrs. JessieConant and James R. Seatb, who was engaged with bis father fn the car Works.
The narrative, in chronological order, of the maiti events, the places of real deuce, the associates in business life, the tie&of blood and of friendship constltute but a meagre biography. These things are but the boundary lines of life the data that limit its duration and locate the scenes of its activity. Within their confines lie those acts and deeds— "the common things that with the day begin and end"—that make up the sum of a butnan life.
Within tbe last few days there has gone from among n* a life that had in it much that may be studied and iuii tated. James Seath has joined that shadowy procession, compared with which the men who walk the earth are but a handful. A useful, patient and a busy life has just but closed.
As a young man be labored patiently and perseveringly toward tbe attainment of a competence that is most men's objeot and every man's right, and yet, In tjie steady onward movement toward his goal, he never forgot those whom he bad passed in the roadway, and none who deserved sympathy and aid ever sought either from him in vain.
An extensive employer of labor, there was none among the thousands who gave him their toil in return for their sustenance more faithful In the discharge of their duty, none who crowded into the hours between the rising and setting of the sun' more well applied energy and conscientious work. Though many years an employer, he bad tbe keenest appreciation of tbe rights and dues, tbe aspirations and limitations of the em.ployed. He exacted no service that, under similar conditions, be himself would not have cheerfully rendered.
In the time of misfortune, his calm judgement looked beyond presentcalamity and red the lesson for the future that the failure of finite plans inevitably brings. With a wise regard for the re qulrements of to-day, be foresaw the possibilities of to-morrow.
In latet life, when the Increasing weight of years began gradually to wear upon tbe indomitable energy and to plaoe tbe restrictions of age upon a rugged strength, bis character and disposition seemed rather to grow morw mellow and serene than to exhibit the petulance and narrowness so often Incidental to a clone of a busy life. The toil of years seemed Instead of oarvlng narrow grooves and fostering oonstrloted views to round off and expand a mind that oould readily respect ideas equally as slnoere but diametrically opposite to his own.
In his benefactions, creed or sect were accorded little prominence so long as the ultimate objeot was the betterment of his fellow men. A worthy objeot found a ready and present help, and what is more often withheld, oheerful sympathy and wise council apart from reoriminattons for the past and forebodings for the future.
In his death, the community has lost a man of broad enterprise and public
Ingrain Carpets
spirit many a man has tost an employer whose fairness and equity were unquestioned his friends a jKincuy and belpfnl oompanlon his family an indnlgent member.
Tbe rest into which he has now entered is but tbe natural and grateful ireward of many along year of incessant labor and tbe final goal to which every mortal man must come, leaving behind him the fruits of the years, whether good or evil the sum of a human life whether spent like this one in adding something of good to the world or whether passed in idleselfishness. 6.
?vFROM THE CAPITAL,
Bpeclal Correspondence. iNDiANAPOias, Oct. 11.—"If Tom Taggart hadn't been born on tbe Isle of Man, we would run him for president." That remark has been made once and has also been repeated since Tuesday. Tbeypung Manxman is a thoroughbred Democrat and awakens the craziest kind of enthusiasm, 4
You will remember that 1 remarked in these letters several weeks ago that Democrats would nominate T. T. for governor if he won the Indianapolis election. Now I will venture farther and say that Tom Taggart will be nominated next summer by acclamation, and unless the Republican party "gets together" and puts up a winner, there will either one of two things occur it will either be a Demooratio legislature or else Governor T. Taggart will "play horse" with a Republican legislature just as Claude Matthews did.
Rhody Sbiel is tbe most satisfied man in Indiana to-day. Probably you dwellers along the vVabash do not know this political "shooting star" as well as we Indianapolltans do. If any of you read eapltal oity dailies you certainly must remember the name of Rbody Sbiel. He Is a stubby-whiskered, gimlet eyed, volatile and garrllous Irlsh-oatholic Republican. With uo ed ucHtlon whatever, yet he can converse with kings. His company is seemingly agreeable to men like ex-Prealdent Harrison and Lew Wallaoe. He is a stock buyer by profession. I do not mean that he has an office and runs a "tape and tioker." No, his office is under his hat. He buys and sells hogs, oattle and sheep at the Union Stook Yards on commission. His daily earnings are placed at from twenty to fifty dollars. The same violent and explosive energy that has made him a power and a fright in politics causes many a stock dealer to go home mad in tbe evening after Rbody Sbiel has oornered the local market and forced shippers to buy or sellers to sell at a loss. He is thoroughly democratic in his ideas and hasn't any use for anybody but tbe plainest. Yet, as I said, he levels tbe aristoorats and forces them to heed him as much as if be wore a "coat of arms."
He is rich. He does notoare for office, now. He is the most egotistioal man that exists. Not a nomination of any consequence takes place except that Rhody Sbiel says "I did it." Not an election terminates favorable, to the Republicans but that Rhody says "I did it." Aud be means it, too. If you question it or laugh at him, his glitter iug eyes become fastened on you and catching you by the coat, he pushes his whiskers into your
face
while be nerce-
ly harangues you. His argument is a wild combination of loud and long questions ooupled with denunciation and emphatio statements. His loose arm and band is
Bimilar
to a Zuyder Zee
wind-mill in a hurricance. If you area quiet individual, you will soon be embarrassed, for Rbody Sbiel's ability to attract a street crowd is only equalled by a free Punch and Judy show.
Notwithstanding R. R. Sbiel is suob a peculiar fellow, he can not be laughed off tbe stage. One peculiar feature about his fights for other people is that be succeeds more times than be falls. He was the chief oppooent that "little Billee" Taylor had for tbe attorney generalship last year, and when "Bill" Ketobam, as Rbody calls the present attorney-general, was elected over the opposition of the new faction, Shiel soored a big vlotory.
Preston Truster not only had to defend himself against tbe charge of helping to defeat a Republican and an Indiana man for tbe presidency, but Sbiel knew that Truster had voted against Shiel several years ago. So Rhody had two big reasons for betting so heavily on Taggart.
Tbe Columbia club is the swell Republican organization here and is bavlng a merry row now in trying to get Sbiel, Denny and Trusler to drink out of tbe same "loving cup." They all like to drink, in fact, but Oale Denny detests Shiel, "Pres." Trusler hates both Cale and Rhody, while IJhody is unbearably effusive in his protestations that he is now vindicated and forgives (save the mark) both Denny and Trusler. When a prominent Columbia club man suggested that "Mr." Shiel be called up before the executive board for expulsion, the fighting stook man demanded that everybody else in the elnb who had never bolted the Republican ticket stand up. Not a man arose, so it is reported. Then Rbody soored them so unmercifully for suggesting his expul* sion that it would not surprise me to hear of his being eleoted to tbe chair of that club.
The Indianapolis Republicans are divided in opinion as to tbe effect of Truster's defeat. The Marlon club, composed of young and hustling workers,
LARGEST^SSPI
VM? ''3
l' "-fir
was a strong Trusler olub and theyonng fellows are very bitter against the "bolters" who voted for Taggart. The bolters reply by claiming that it is not a bolt, to vote against a bolter. But the Marlon olub men fall back.on tbe political maxim "kick ttgfcrfi the convention, not at tbe polls."
t.
The State Central Committee of the Republican party meets next Thursday in this oity and with all due solemnity will bold a post mortem examination over Preston 0. Truster's political corse. There will be no verdict of "suspended animation" or of "suspected tranoe" but Dr. Gowdy will shake his long whiskers slowly aud with dew drops glistening in his big blue eyes will say "dead—deaddead."
After the Trusler obsequies are over, though, the Republicans believe their ship will bound over the billows like a dipper that has just bad tbe barnaoles scraped from her bull,
