Ho Gets His Financial Political Friends Into
Trouble and Has to Pay for It
Special to the Gazette
New York April 13 Statesman Thomas C
Piatts stock market experiences with his Ten-
nessee coal and iron company are being added
to in a painful fashion by the more recent antics
of his United States express company The
stock of the latter property sold yesterday
about 15 points lower than it was quoted one
short week ago The reduction of the company
dividend is credited with having had something
to do with this slump but in Wall
street that is not the only explanation heard
Piatt is credited with having felt obliged to raise
a pretty big sum of money to protect certain
Solitical friends and followers who acting on
is points put up their money some time ago in
Wall street on margins upon Tennessee coal and
iron stock Having lost heavily those defen
dants including two or three state sen-
ators were in danger of being wiped
out as they say on the stock exchange
Perhaps this philanthropic scheme of helpinsr

some of his express company stock At any
rate somebody has been selling it and a drop
of fifteen points succeeded in making fairly ac-
tive a stock which has hitherto been so in-
active that a transaction in ten shares of it would
have been notable It is intimated that some
politicians have been caught in this express
stock drop just as certain others were caught in
the Tennessee coal tumble All in all T C

Washington April 13 It was a sad
and touching scene at the Randall resi-
dence on Capitol Hill when Congressman
Samuel J Randall expired this morning
just as the bells of a neighboring ohurch
were tolling 5 oclock Around the bed-
side were gathered the family the
physician and PostmasterGeneral Wan
amaker who had all kept con-
stant watch over the dying
man during the night Few
moments before his death he had opened
his eyes and looking tenderly at his wife
who knelt over him said in a low tone
Mother a word linked with all the
fondest recollections of their long and
jhappy married life and by which he al
ways called his wife when none but the
family vjiee near He looked into her
g0ikie were about to say some
pnffmore but he seemed to have no
strength left and in a few moments
31K HAD PASSED AWAY
Death had come with he cominir of
dawn The watchers saw that all was
over and the brave wife and daughter
who had nursed and oared for him dur-
ing bis long illnes3 could restrain their
reelings no longer but gave
way to their grief while the
phyaioian and Mr Wanamnker endeav
Croquet Hammocks and Baseballs ored to console them as best they might
jt lfhough their own grief hardly permit
ted them to speak
Mr Randalls death has been ex-
pected some time during the past three
days and his family and friends knew
he could not last much longer The
physicians had informed the family
that death might come at almost any
hour and last night they told Mrs
Randall that his enduranoe could not
prolong life through another day
iPSidfty night had been a bad one for
e slck man and he had several sinking
spelYs from whioh ho rallied to the
astonishment of his physicians They
however left him weaker and when
morning came it was evident his
EXTRAORDINARY VITAMTT
had almost left him He rested easily
and comfortably during the fore part of
the day and the doctor was enoueraged
to hope that he might
live several days yet He took some
nourishment and dozed off without diffi-
culty Shortly after 3 oclook however
a marked change was noticed in his ap
pearance and he seemed almost to sink
away This spell was worse than any
preceding one and it was thought that
death was at hand All the members of
the family were present and also Dr
Mallan who has attended Mr Randall
throughout his illness and who has grown
to have an interest in the case almost as
great as that of one of the family Dr
N S Lincoln consulting physician and
PostmasterGeneral Wanamaker were
hastily summoned They remained
around the bedside expecting each mo-
ment would be the last until 6 oclook
when he rallied some from the collapse
It left him with very little strength re-
maining and Dr Mallan became con-
vinced he could hardly
LIVE THROUGH THE NIGHT
Dr Lincoln left soon after 6 oolook
but the others remained with the siok
man There was little or no ohange up
to midnight except he was steadily
growing weaker Young Sammy Ran-
dall went to a neighbors house to sleep
but was hastily summoned about 3
oclook when the dootor informed the
family that Mr Randall 0

in the front
room of the second story of his modest
home and daylight was just beginning
to shed its rays into the room when Mr
Randall opened his eyes and looked ten-
derly at his wife who bent over him to
catoh his words He recognized her
and half whispered simply Mother
He then closed his eyes and sank away
death coming from exhaustion as the
bells of a near by churoh told the hour
of 5 and called the worshippers to early
mass
HE WAS DEAD
Around him were Mra Randall Miss
Susan Randall Mrs Lancaster the
married daughter and her husband
Samuel Randall Jr Dr Mallan Post
masterGeneral Wanamnker and the
household servants For a moment the
family hardly realized that all was over
but as soon as the fact that he wR dead

General Wanamaker came out of the
house after 5 and announced in almost
ohoking voice that
ALL WAS OVER
He and the others then t endeavored to
comfort the afflioted family and at
length succeeded in inducing them to re-
tire and try to refresh themselves with
sleep
Mr Randall sillness dates back about
five years when Dr Thomas F Mallan
who has attended him throughout his
late illness was called in to treat him
for gout July 9 almost two years ago
Mr Randall was suddenly seized with
violent diarrhoea and hemorrhage during
the night due to hastily eating a dish of
ice cream and berries during the day
This hemorrhage was so severe as
to completely prostrate him and
his life was in imminent danger
Dr Mallan says for some time previous
to this Mr Randall iad been troubled
with what he supposed were hemor-
rhoids The diarrhce al attaok caused
the disease to assume an active form
and < itwas found ire was suffering from
an extensive and
MAX1GXAXT ABSCESS
This caused serious hemorrhages which
greatly depleted his system and left him
weak and emaciated He put himself
permanently under the physicians care
and Dr Mallan has attended him con-
stantly while he was in this city Dr
Lincoln a physician of great repute in
this city being called into consultation
ocqasionally Mr Randall rallied and
grew stronger and was getting along
fairly well uDtil last February when he
had a severe rigor brought on probably
by the weather This rigor was
accompanied by severe abdominal
pains and there were symptoms of peri
tonetis From this time exhaustion be-
gan to set in and the sick mans course
was downward Septicamonia was also
present and a chill and severe diarrhoea
about two weeks ago brought the case
TO A CRITICAL STAGE
Up to a short time ago Mr Randall
had confidence in his ability to pull
through his siokness and told his con-
gressional visitors he thought he wris
mending and would be able to resume
his congressional duties He joined the
Presbyterian ohurch about two months
ago Mr Wanamaker spoke to him on
this subject and Mr Randall replied
that he had been thinking of this matter
for some time and would like to
become a member of the churoh
Arrangements were effected by which
he entered the Metropolitan Presbyterian
ohurch on Capitol Hill Dr Chester is
pastor and will probably conduct the
funeral services in this city
CONDOLENCE
The news of Mr Randalls death be-
came known generally through the day
It was expected and therefore wasnot so
much of a shook as it otherwise would
have been A large number of persons
called at the residence during the day to
express condolence and they were re-
ceived by Mr Lancaster the sonin
law President and Mrs Harrison sent
a basket of flowers with a note Express-
ing their deep sympathy with the family
Speaker Reed called during the after-
noon to express his regrets and learn the
wishes of the family with respect to the
funeral services He informed Mr
Lancaster he would carry out the wishes
of the family in all things Among the
other callers were Secretary Blaine ex
Senator Ferry of Miohigan who stood
next to Mr Randall during the electoral
count proceedings exSpeaker Carlisle
Representatives Breckinridge of Ken-
tucky Springer of Illinois and many
others SergeantatArms Holmes called
and
TOOK CHARGE OF THE REMAINS
for the house of representatives They
were embalmed and placed in a casket
in the room in whioh Mr Randall died
It is said the man presents alifelike
appearance except that he is emaciated
and wasted to a remarkable degree
Expressions of regret at Mr Randalls
death were universal and sin
oere None paid him higher
tributes of admiration and re-
spect than his Democratic colleagues
in the house who differed with him vitally
upon one of the most important measures
in congress
REPRESENTATIVE ROGER Q MILLS
had not heard of Mr Randalls death
when an Associated Press reporter called
about 1 oolook and asked his opinion of
Mr Randall Mr Mills spoke feelingly
and earnestly He was a very great
man said he a man of unimpeacha-
ble integrity and a natural born leader
pf men He had more of the elements
of leadership than any man I have cne
in contaot with since I have been in pub
lic life ISothing but his views onjthe
tariff could have prevented him from
being the leader of the Democratic
party If it had not been for
that he would have been nominated
for preside in 1876 and said Mr
Mills with emphasis he qould have
been electedaed seated for he
WOULD HAVE ASSERT JHI8 RIGHTS
but when he believe3d nis opinions were
right he never would change them no
matter what might happen I never
saw such remarkable determination
When he sot his lips and bent down that
great jaw of his nothing could ohange
him Why when our tariff bill was up
I pleaded with him urged and begged
him to make some concession and com-
promise but he believed he was
right and could not be moved
When all his party except Sowden and
one of two others had come over he still
held out and could not be moved
That was the only thing on
which we differed There Is noth-
ing good and great you cannot say
for me about Mr Randall I esteemed
him highly My feeling3 toward him
were of the kindest and I had great ad-
miration and personal attachment for
him
At 10 oclock tonight Mr Wansma
ker said the funeral had been fixed fort
Thursday morning The
will be in oharge of a congressional ooni
mittee to be appointed tomor-
row Mrs Randall prefer that
the services be held in the church
of which Mr Randall was a member Sad
not in the house of representatives This
church is the Metropolitan Presbyterian
churoh Dr Chester pastor corner of

Gould made it very plain to hi3 friend
Harrison that he felt that he had been
betrayed and incidentally it was ex-
plained to Mr Harrison that Mr Gould
could be a pretty good fighter as
well as a contributing friend
The result of this frank statement from
Mr Gould is said to have been that Presi
ident Harrisonone day last week sent for
Mr Wanamaker and jrave him to under-
stand that he must go slow with his pos-
tal telecraph scheme
According to reports current In Wall
street and supported by good authority
the president toldlTis postmastergeneral
that he had been entirely too fast in his
postal telegraph movements
Imade no recommendation in my
message the president is reported to
have said warranting you to proceed
as you have The effect oi your work is
to deprive my administration ot valuable
friends friends who deserve better
treatment and are not to be slighted
The friends whom you have slapped in
the face were most valuable in 1888 and
we will need them in 1892
To attack them is political insan-
ity There is no need for it
This whole telegraph soheme might just
as well be dropped It never should have
been begun
The authority for this report of the in-
terview between the postmastergeneral
and President Harrison is a Republican
friendly to Mr Wanamaker and Inclined
to be indfgnant over what he term3 the
unjust treatment of the postmastergen
eral It is probable that he reflects
Wanamakers personal feelings He
speaks of the presidents position as a
surrender to Jay Gould who is oredited
with haying quietly contribbted some
th1ng lke100000 to Boss Quays cam
poSj f unds in 1888 Mr Gould never
gives money for fun
