HIS BODY LAID TO REST IX LAKE-
VIEW CEMETERY YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON.
A MAN WHO WILL BE MISSED
Only 34 Yearn of Ane, He Had Accom-
plished More Thau Some Mcu Do
in a Loug Life Time.
In the death of Hon* James Spillane,
which occurred at 1.15 o'clock on the morn-
ing of Monday, March 9. 1S96. the city of
Galveston suffered a loss which it is hard
to estimate. Although still in the prime of
lite—only 34—he has done much for this
community, and his future, after his youth
and young manhood had been bullded upon
such a solid foundation, could not have
been otherwise than full of usefulness. He
was a man who thought for himself, who
hud the courage of his convictions and who
acted upon them regt
considerations. In all
acted upon them regardless of personal
considerations. In all of his official pc
tions he exercised tlie privilege of thinking
for himself and acting for himself. He had
h resourceful mind and his judgment was
clear. Mis mind was always working,
nt-ver slumbering. Only a few days before
that dread destroyer, consumption, called
him to the home above he was seen figur-
ing with a pencil on a pad of paper. Asked
what he was doing, he replied that the
short crop of cotton had kept many people
out of work the past season who would be
in want the coming summer, and he was
figuring on the best way of relieving their
distress. He had several plans and figured
them all out carefully in an endeavor to
relieve the greatest number at the smallest
possible outlay.
He was popular in Galveston with every
one. Politics usually leaves much unfriend-
liness. but every one liked "Jim" Spillane
because of Ills cordial, wholesouled quali-
ties, and admired him because of his ster-
ling worth.
The deceased was born in New York city

December 22, 1861, the second child of Mor-
gan Spillane and lOllzabeth Orpheus, who
were natives of Lismore. County Water-
ford, Ireland. Mr. Spillane's mother died
when he was 3, an^ his father died when
he was 8 years of age. He did not have
the advantages of a college education, and
what little schooling he received was ob-
tained at the public schools before he was
11 years of age, for when he reached this
age he was forced to earn his own living.
The first position he ever held was that of
messenger boy for the American district
telegraph company, and so well did he dis-
charge his duties that at the age of 17 he
was made assistant superintendent of the
company.
In 1880 he came to Galveston and secured
employment in the secretary's office of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe. 4le held va-
rious positions with the Santa Fe, and at
the time he resigned his railroad duties
was private secretary to General Manager
Webster Snyder, who often left the whole
affairs of his office in his hands. He
left the service of the Santa Fe to accept
the position of secretary of the Preston
chemical company. During the time he
served as secretary of the chemical com-
pany he was secretary of the Galveston,
Houston and Henderson railway and held a
similar position with the Nottingham com-
pany. He was identified with the latter
company up to the time of his death. He
left the chemical company to become as-
sociated with Mr. T. H. Sweeney. Three
years ago he was elected a member of the
board of aldermen from the Ninth ward,
and was placed upon some of the most im-
portant committees. He was a leader in
that body until his resignation, which was
sent in that he might begin the service of
Galveston county as a member of the legis-
lature, to which he was elected a year ago
last fall. He made a reputation in that
body, and his demise will cast a shadow in
the hearts of every man who sat in the
house. He was made purchasing agent of
the city under Mayor Fly's second admin-
istration and filled the position most ac-
ceptably.
About eight years ago the deceased was
married to Miss Rowena Williams, a niece
of Mrs. M. F. Mott. in whose family she
had lived for years. Three children were the
result of this marriage, Mott, aged 6; Ro-
wena, aged 4, and Randall, aged about 3
years.
The funeral took place yesterday after-
noon at 4 o'clock. The Masonic fraternity,
of which Mr. Spillane was a member, took
entire charge of the obsequies. They met
at the late residence of the deceased, on
Tremont and MV4, and proceeded to Lake-
view cemetery, where the service in ac-
cordance with the ritual of th£t order was
read. It was solemn and impressive. The
pallbearers were Captain James McDonald,
J. Wharton Terry, Judge S. S. Hanscom,
Joseph Seinsheimej", Major C. W. Preston,
George Anderson, Louis Schleslnger and
J. A. Crocker.
All day the flag at the city hall hung at
hfelf mast out of respect to the memory of
the deceased.
City Conncil Resolutions.
Yesterday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock the
city council was called In special session.
"We are assembled here," said his honor,
Mayor A. W. Fly, "to pay a last tribute of
respect to a former member of this body,
who was until recently purchasing agent,
a man who had more to do with shaping
the policy of this reform administration
than any other man in Galveston—James
Spillane. He was a man who had the cour-
age ol' his convictions and who would do
what he thought to be his duty regardless
of consequences. He labored earnestly and
faithfully to bring about the passage of
the present city charter, which has enabled
Galveston to have a reform administration
in fact as well as in name/'
Alderman West presented the following
resolution, which was read by City Clerk
Settle:
Whereas, Mr. James Spillane, late a
trusted employe of the city, has, in the
wisdom of an all wise Providence, been
taken from his earthly labors. We tender
his bereaved family our heartfelt sympa-
thy and express our high appreciation of
his faithful services in the performance of
his official obligations; also that we now
adjourn, and, as far as possible, attend his
funeral. H. A. WEST,
J. D. SKINNER,

Alderman Harrington moved that the res-
olutions be adopted, and they were unani-
mously passed. The council at once ad-
journed, and the members went to the late

Saturday Mr. Leo N. Levi received a let-
ter from General Roy Stone at Washing-
ton, special agent and engineer in the de-
partment of agriculture, who has charge
of the road inquiry division. This letter
speaks in a complimentary manner of the
work Mr. Levi is doing in the interest of
good roads. General Stone may be in Gal-
eston In June to attend the good roads
convention. He sent Mr. Levi a copy of
senate bill No. 1S39, Introduced by Mr.

cial commission on highways and to make
appropriation therefor." The bill was in-
troduced January 29 this year, read twice

ture and forestry. Following is the text of
the bill :

public domain.
The employment of the geological survey
in the discovery of road materials.
The free testing of all road materials of-
fered.

tions in road making at agricultural col-
leges and experiment stations.

ings of the commission may be held in any
of the states In conjunction with state au-
thorities or organizations, and for such
meetings the congressional members of the
commission may delegate other members
of congress to represent them; the depart-
mental commissioners may also serve by
substitute at any time with consent of the
commission,
Sec. 6. That necessary office rent, clerk
hire and traveling expenses of the com-
mission shall be paid, and departmental
members shall be entitled, during the con-
tinuance of the commission, to such in-
creased pay as will make their compensa-
tion equal with that of the congressional
members.

inquiry shall render such service to the
commission as the secretary of agriculture
may deem expedient.
Sec. 8. That the sum of $10,100.95. being

tion, our spacious building, our well known Low

crowds than ever before. At times we were al-
most overwhelmed with the rush, our broad aisles
being so crowded with a dense throng of human-

will) to refuse admittance to hundreds of custom-
